Sleek Powder pink pout polish & Rose Gold

Hi there, ladies, yesterday i told you i had purchased the Sleek Rose Gold blusher and Powder Pink Pout Polish. So i had no choice but to try them out today.

 I have to say that the Rose Gold blusher in real life looks stunning in the packaging, The gold shimmer really stands out and i thought that it would look gorgeous on.

 The Powder Pink is beautiful on the lips, it smells like chocolate and feels really moisturising and the shade is really flattering. It's a perfect pink not too blue toned either. I can see this being flattering on most people.

 The Rose Gold blusher unfortunately just didn't show up very well on me at all. The texture is beautiful and finely milled and I'm sure this will look lovely on those porcelain beauties.
I am a little disappointed as i have a sleek blusher in pixie pink and the pigmentation is fab so i guess i was expecting the same.
I am going to try it on top of a cream blush next time as the golden shimmer is so pretty that it seems a shame not to wear it.

 In this photo you can see that it shows up a tiny amount but it's very subtle. Maybe i just need to build it up a bit more. What do you think?
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Hugs xx

OOTD & Sleek Dissapointment

Now then gorgeous girlies, i have to say i am a bit disappointed with the sleek sale. I spend over an hr yesterday and the same again today trying to get an order through. So in the end i decided to give up and go shopping instead.
To be honest i only really wanted the Rose Gold blusher, the powder pink pout polish and lots of eyelashes.
Anyway this is my OOTD. Comfy and warm for a quick browse around town.

 Jumper from Asda, Leggings from primark, Jewelry from primark.

 I should of painted my nails but ran out of time this morning.

Simple hair and makeup. Oooh i tried my new Gosh concealer which i brought in Emmabeans blog sale. I really like it.



The left side of the photo i am wearing it to show you the difference, subtle but natural difference.


Last but not least i decided to buy the sleek items i wanted after all they are not exactly expensive are they. The Rose Gold looks so so pretty and the pout polish smells lush. Reviews to come soon xxx

Xen Tan Dark lotion

Hi there girls, Brrrrr how cold has it turned. Right now the heating is on full and i have already had 2 coffees since i came back in to warm myself up. Little rocco is snuggled up watching TV with a cosy blanket and i don't plan on leaving the house again today.

After spending the last hr on the sleek website trying to order a few bits in the sale I've decided to give up for a while and write a review instead.
Last week i told you about  the Xen tan face tanner luxe here so today wanted to show you how i got on with the Dark lotion for the body. After all you can't very well have a nice tanned face and a pasty white body.


Now the website states that the product itself is enriched with coconut and walnut oils, it helps you achieve a stunningly natural olive tan that's exceptionally longwearing. And to make sure you enjoy a beautifully balanced result, it doesn't gather at the ankles or elbows, and fades evenly ( sounds good right )

What did i think?
Well the formula  itself is very similar to the face tanner, it has a lovely golden colour so you can see where you are applying it. It has a beautiful sweet almond fragrance. This is the best self tanner i have ever smelt.

The difference between this and any other tan i have tried is just how moisturising it feels on the skin it's so silky and it develops into a beautiful even deep tan with no streaks.
The colour is a lovely natural brown, it's the same type of colour i go when I've been abroad and there is not a hint of orange in sight.

I do like to look tanned even when it's freezing and I'm covering up a lot. It just makes me feel better.
So here's an after photo so you can see the colour. Yes i applied it on my face as well and i have to say it works beautifully. No breakouts and i found the colour came out a bit darker on my face than with the facial tanner but that's fine with me.


Available from Xen Tan RRP £25.95
I really love the Xen tan range and will be trying out the Dark lotion absolute luxe next which is the new and darkest tan in the range which sounds fab too.
Have you tried any of the Xen tan products and which is your favourite so far?
Also I'm interested to know how many other people fake tan even if they are covering up and not going anywhere? xx
