Hi lovelies! I hope you are having a fantastic week! As promised, I am showing you the makeup I wore on my birthday. I have already done another blog post which features photos from the day (as well as my outfit if you are interested), to see that click HERE. I'm really happy with how the makeup turned out, we went out for lunch so I didn't want to make it too dramatic and crazy. Overall I'm really happy with it and I've almost mastered my winged eyeliner (almost... not quite there... yet...).

For my makeup I kept a really fresh face; no foundation, only concealer. I focused mainly on my eyes - I used my trusty Urban Decay Naked palette and added a small winged liquid liner to my lash line, and LOTS of mascara of course! 

Products used:

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Sleek Blush Trio in Lace  (I used the far right color - a matte coral pink)

Elf Brow Kit

Elf Brow Gel

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barley Branded

Urban Decay Naked Palette - Sin, Buck, Smog

Maybelline Master Line Liquid Liner

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight

For my hair kept it really simple - I threw it in a low bun and curled a few loose pieces. 

I used Sin (index finger) all over my lid, Smog (middle finger... haha) on my outer V, and Buck (ring finger) in my crease as a transition color. 

I hope you enjoyed having a look at the makeup I wore, I was really pleased with the result. Maybe it gave you some inspiration or guidance, but in saying that I really believe that what makeup you wear, should be the makeup that you love the most. So it you wanna wear bright blue eyeshadow in the day time cos that's your thing - go ahead! Love you all!

Hi lovelies, I hope you are all having a fantastic week. So yesterday in the post, my Sleek makeup package arrived - and you have no idea how exited I was. I had heard so much about the British brand, and was desperate to try some products out myself. I (somehow) restrained myself to buy only 2 products, however when I opened them they were so gorgeous and the product was so pigmented, I know I will get some more in the future. 

The first product I got was the Sleek Blush By 3 palette in lace. This has a beautiful orange peachy shade, a shimmery coral/rose gold shade, and a bright pinky coral shade. All three colors are absolutely beautiful, and the pigmentation is amazing.

Another thing I love about this makeup brand is its simplistic packaging. Both palettes were very thin yet sturdy, and had a matte black look with shiny black lettering. 

Next, I got the Sleek i-Divine eye shadow palette in au natural. This palette is beautiful - it contains every nude shadow you could need. The palette has everything from a matte white, matte black, shimmery browns and taupe's, and other matte transition colors. The texture is smooth and the shadows are pigmented. I love this eye shadow palette more than my urban decay naked palette, simply because the color and finish selection is better and more diverse, and there is absolutely no fall out. 

If you are a beginner to makeup, the back of the product contains suggestions on creating your eye shadow look.

Beautiful right! Some of my favorite shades are cappuccino, conker, moss, and regal.

Top row (left to right): nougat, Nubuck, cappuccino, honeycomb, toast, taupe.

Bottom row (left to right): conker, moss, bark, mineral earth, regal, noir.

 Nougat, nubuck, cappuccino, honeycomb.

Toast, taupe, conker.

Moss, bark, mineral earth.

Regal, noir.

Overall, these products definitely lived up to my expectations and are worth the hype. I will do some future makeup looks featuring these palettes, and hopefully in the future I will get some more. Love you all!
