Sleek Monaco Eyeshadow Palette - Review + Swatches.

Hey all, 

How was everyone's weekend? I had a particularly busy one myself! I am fighting the flu of doom and am in the middle of organising a bit of a career change - busy, busy, busy! At least I haven't had any time to get into trouble, have I? 

Since I started 'shopping my stash' - read the post here; I have had a look through my whole collection, just to remind myself what I have. This has happily resulted in the rediscovery of many old favourites and some new gems. 

This is one of them! 

I loved the potential of this palette, and am so glad that I grabbed it! When I first tried it, all I could think was 'wow'. 

What I Love

- Well put together, all the shades compliment each other. 

- Very highly pigmented. 

- Creamy and smooth. 

_ Long lasting, especially with a primer. 

- Reasonably priced. 

What I Don't

- It is a limited edition palette, but can still be found online. 

Where to Buy: Try eBay.

Sleek Blush in Pomegranate - Review + Swatches

Hey all, 

I am on a bit of a blush discovery mission at the moment and have found a plethora of new shades that I love; some expensive, some more affordable. This blush is definitely an affordable product that I cannot believe how much I adore. 

I only discovered Sleek blushes recently, and so far, I love every single one that I own. They are of amazing quality for the price; and you can be sure to find a shade to suit any skin tone! 

This review is for Pomegranate - one of my favourite shades to date! 

What I Love 

- Great range of shades. 

- Highly pigmented.

- Easy to apply and work with, blends well. 

- Long lasting and fades evenly. 

- Sleek, compact packaging. 

- Affordable. 

What I Don't

- Harder to find in Australia. 

- The packaging is hard to get open, and I have lost many a nail! Maybe this is just me though!

Pomegranate is one of my favourite shades out of my little collection, and is a gorgeous, bright pink that leaves a lovely flush on the skin when applied with a light hand. It looks scary in the pan, but trust me, it will purr like a kitten! 

Have you tried Sleek blushes? Which one is your favourite? 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Sleek Blush in Life's A Peach

Hey all,

Who doesn't love a good blush? Personally, I emerge from bed in the mornings looking less than radiant and definitely need the help of a magic product or two to manage something that even resembles a 'glow'. This product is something that has been achieving that for me, so I thought I would share! 

Until a while ago, I had not tried any Sleek blushes, although I had always heard great things about them - but I am glad that I finally bit the bullet and bought a few! This blush has been a favourite of mine since I purchased it a couple of month's ago & I still find that it is the first blush I will reach for out of my collection - generally a good sign! 

Colour: Gorgeous light peach shade that would compliment any skin tone. Gives the complexion a natural, healthy looking glow & just the right amount of colour. 

What I Love 

- Absolutely gorgeous colour that suits my skin tone perfectly (NC42).

- Easy to work with - blends well, doesn't streak. 

- Highly pigmented - great colour payoff! 

- Long lasting & when it does start to fade, it does so evenly. 

- Packaging is sleek, attractive & makes the product easy to store. 

- Cheap! 

What I Am Not So Crazy About

- Harder to find in Australia.

- I found the packaging difficult to open (although I am pretty weak!).

Price: $12.95

Sorry the quality is a little off on this picture, I just couldn't get a good one!

All in all, this has definitely become my holy grail of blushes & I have already purchased two backup's...just in case. 

If you're on the hunt for an amazing peach toned blush that will give you a radiant and natural look, I definitely recommend that you give this one a try! 

Hope you all have a great night! xx
