Sleek: Blush in Rose Gold - Review & Swatches


Hello guys! Tonight I wanted to talk to you about one of my favourite blushes of all time. I won this Sleek blush thanks to one of their facebook contest, but this is my honest opinion. It's one of the most beautiful blushes I've ever tried;

the shade is in Rose Gold, it is a shimmer blush and it's a pink-peachy color with golden shimmer in it. It gives the skin a beautiful glow and it has an incredible pigmentation; it also goes on smoothly and creamy.

I think it's perfect for all skin color. I have very fair skin, so I have to be careful (too pigmentation) and I believe it would work on darker skintones too.

Price: 6€ in Eu.
Rate: 5/5

I hope you enjoyed.

Sleek Palette in Oh So Special - Review, Swatches


Hello guys! Last week I went to Sephora and I found a new Sleek Oh So Special palette! I love these palettes, as you already know, they are mineral based eyeshadows with a great color pay off, considering they are so affordable.

The shades in this palette are perfect for spring time: corals, pinks, browns and also a grey and a black, if you want to do a smokey eye.
I love the fact that it has a combination of matte and shimmer shades, which is rare to find in palettes, especially low price range ones.

As you can see from the swatches, the pigmentation is great and that was only one layer. The texture is smooth and easy to blend. Some of the shades, especially the shimmery ones are a little bit chalky, but nothing overwhelming. The palette has a big mirror, which allow you to do your makeup if you are in a hurry and you don't have your beauty mirror with you; it also has a double sponge applicator, which is very well made and I use it to do the lower lashline shadow.

Rate: 5/5
Price: 9.90€ at Sephora in EU.

I hope you enjoyed my review and soon I'm going to post makeup looks using this palette.

Sleek Haul: Bad Girl - Limited Edition Palette


Hello guys! A few days ago I went to Sephora and I found the Sleek limited edition palette Good Girl, but they were out of the other one, the Bad Girl, which I found today! I'm so excited, because the colors are just beautiful and I love Sleek eyeshadows.

This palette was 9.99€ in Italy, outside the Uk is a little bit more expensive but it's worth it.

I will swatch it and review it as soon as I use it.

Sleek Haul: Good Girl - Limited Edition Palette



Today I went to Sephora and I found a Sleek palette! I was schoked because I thought I could have found Sleek only on its website. Too bad they had only this Good Girl palette, the Bad Girl one was already sold out in less than a week.
I love Sleek...I own the Storm eyeshadow palette and the new three shimmer blushes (Rose Gold, Pomegranate, Sunrise) and they are just amazing.
Sleek is kinda of a uk drugstore brand, the eyeshadows have really good pigmentation and they are mineral based, quite impressive for the price!

This palette have some weird colors that you might usually find in blush palettes, but I think I'm going to use these shade also as blushes.

I'm going to swatch the colors and create a look as soon as possible.

Price at Sephora EU: 9.99€

Sleek New Shimmer Blush in Sunrise

I won the three new shimmer blushes on Facebook and I love them!!! I only have 4 products from Sleek (the three shimmer blushes: Sunrise, Rose Gold, Pomegranate, and the eyeshadow Storm palette), I can honestly say that for the price, they are amazing. The pigmentation of this blush is incredible, the shimmer it's not too heavy on the cheeks and the color is so beautiful. In the pan Sunrise looks brownish, like a bronzer, but on the cheeks is a beautiful rose color and it gives a natural almost coral flush.

Sleek Palette in Storm - Review, Swatches and Makeup Look

Hello girls!! Back in march I won a Facebook contest hosted by Sleek Cosmetics and I received a palette for free!!! YAY!!!!! I'm going to review it for you guys.
The palette is the STORM one.
I really like this palette. I'm not saying that because I got it for free, I do think that.

Pluside:
- The price: this palette retails for 4.99 pounds and it is a great price for what you get.

- The colors: 12 colors (9 shimmer and 3 matte). This color are extremely pigmented with a great color payoff. You can do Smokey eyes, Everyday eyes...every look that you come up with because in this particular palette there are all the basics colors you need.
- The packaging: So cute!!! It has a giant mirror and a very good sponge brush.
Downside:

- The shimmer: For my taste some of the eyeshadows are too shimmery, but it's not a big deal if you use a matte color along with the shimmery ones.

Here's are the swatches I made with natural light:





This is a look I did with this palette so you can see how the eyeshadows look :-)

I used the pink eyeshadow all over the lid, the burgundy color in the crease and the black matte color on the outer corner of my eye. Then I used the cream color (second one from the left in the top row) on my browbone. On the lower lashline I used the burgundy color.

Hope you like it!!!

A special thanks to Sleek Cosmetics.
See you Soon!
