Sleek makeUP

So I believe Sleek came out with a newish collection called 'Shangri-la' and for those of you who don't know, Sleek is a british makeup brand that sell some amazing products that wont break the bank. From the swatches above you can see how highly pigmented the shadows are in the 'Respect' palette and in the Matte Lip Gloss 'Jazz'. The matte lip gloss truly feels like velvet once it has dried on your lips but as for staying power, it  isn't that strong as throughout the day it rubs off and goes all 'bitty' which is a bit unfortunate.

As for the eye shadow, this palette has staple colours that can create a smokey eye, a nude eye and a fun, pop of colour eye. 

I believe there was a barbie pink Matte Lip Gloss called 'Soul' and a matching set palette called 'Supreme' which looks as though it is designed for fair-light skin tones and 'Respect' and 'Jazz' are more for medium-dark skin tones. 

Overall I think these products are amazing and for the packaging well.. its sleek, sorry that was corny wasnt it. BUT if you have the chance to get your hands on them, well I consider you lucky!

Bye for now :)

Sweet Sixteenth

 

Hello!

Tonight we went out to celebrate my good friend Ellysia's 16th birthday. Its strange because we are almost a full year apart in age as in 3 months it will be my 17th birthday. We celebrated at a cute little restaurant called Little Caesars and the pizza they serve is DELISH! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLYSIA your finally 16. Sweet Sixteen. Enjoy it as it is a special day. Enjoy your presents, Enjoy everything!! I know you dont like being in photos but since it is your 16th you don't get a choice, so here is a poor collage of the year or 2 it was with you!

Favourites of the moment

Hi everyone,
Today I wanted to share with you some of my favourite things in life I guess you could say. So lets get started!

Favourite Hair product/tool
It's the classic hair 'donut'. I have heard many say they use a sock to achieve this particular hair style but I personally wouldn't use a sock in my hair and I find using this 'donut' perfectly fine. Ever since wearing this hair style I have received numerous amounts of compliments and have realised this is the perfect school hair style for me as I am not a morning person and have limited time to do my hair. Using this donut bun is fast, easy and the end result looks like a 20 minute hair style, when the truth is it has taken you 5 minutes. I cannot express how crucial it is in my morning routine. Why not try it for yourself, you can pick these 'donuts' up for really inexpensive, practically anywhere.

Favourite Beverage
So lately I have been avoiding coffee since it doesn't really benefit anyone in any shape or form besides 'waking you up'. I personally don't think it's worth getting stained teeth over. So I have been on the search to find a better hot beverage and since I enjoy a good cuppa tea, I decided to find a tea I love to replace my afternoon cappuccinos. Yorkshire Tea has been my absolute favourite for months now and it defiantly hits the spot.

Favourite Makeup product
Since I need concealer in my life I was overly excited when I had my hands on the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I'd admit that it was an impluse buy since I have only heard youtube beauty gurus rave about this product and I can genuinely see why this product is the ultimate. It conceals the darkest of circles and is cheap as chips retailing for 5 pounds.

That will be all for now xx

For the love of Essie

So recently I have been able to spoil myself with Essie nail polishes due to my recent trip overseas. Since you would not find Essie polishes in Australia (I swear, we are so backwards with beauty products) I hit excitement when I found them in Boots in the UK. My new love for these polishes have grown with every brush stroke. They stock every colour imaginable and the brush applicators on these things make the chore of painting your nails a whole lot easier. I feel these polishes dry a lot quicker than the 'Sally Hansen As Hard As Nails' which means smudge free! and the shine these varnishes leave behind is perfect, I have never loved a nail polish so much. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my first blog post of many I'm sure :)
