Sleek Haul! + Swatches

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!

NYX Butter Gloss Review & Swatches

NYX Butter Gloss Review & Swatches

Hi all, I hope you are having a fantastic week! Today's blog post is about my absolute favorite lip glosses of the moment - the butter glosses by NXY. They are super affordable, and come in a range of gorgeous shades. 

These glosses are creamy, opaque (but not too opaque that it looks over powering!) and reasonably long lasting. They are easy to sheer out, or layer. I have provided swatches both on my wrist and on my lips for all three colors. I buy mine off BeautyJoint (I buy a lot of "drugstore" makeup brands from here), which ships world wide and has an affordable shipping fee. 

All swatches are the lip gloss alone, with no lipstick underneath (however I do suggest different lipsticks to wear under for some of the glosses - but they are all beautiful by themselves!).

Swatches left to right: Tiramisu, Peaches & Cream, Eclair

Do not be put off by how brown Tiramisu looks in the tube, it's absolutely gorgeous on the lips! This is my all time favorite nude lip gloss, because it's more of a peachy, brown nude, rather than a pink nude. This is gorgeous under Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight.

Peaches & Cream is a beautiful, bright peachy (hence the name!), coral color. The reason I love this gloss so much, is that it is so wearable, easy to sheer out, or even wear over a lipstick (Wetnwild's Pinkerbell is fantastic - a little drying, but with a balm underneath it's fine). 

Eclair is a gorgeous, light pink gloss with a slight purple undertone. I tend to wear this gloss by itself, and it's especially beautiful with champagne eye shadow.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, and if you would like to see more of these 
review-type blog posts, please let me know. Like always, if you have a blog of your own please leave it in the comments below, as well as any thoughts and future blog posts requests. Love you all!
