New Sleek Palette!

This is on my crappy camera and they still look good! 

Today I bought my second Sleek palette from the Caribbean collection in Superdrug - 'Curacao', I also have 'Storm', which I use all the time, and mix the brown & black for eyebrows. This palette is new out and i'm so glad I got it, they sell out pretty quick (go go go!) and I've missed most the others, such as Paraguaya :( :( But anyway, as you can see from the picture this is insanely bright and every colour is so so so pigmented, even the matte ones. There are a couple of colours i'm probably never going to use but that's just personal preference, and i've been looking for a good yellow orange and red for ages! (my crappy phone camera does not do justice to the orange!!!)

The blue is identical to Revlons Matte shade 'Venetian Blue', which I bought and loved, but it is much more pigmented (and the whole palette is like £1.50 more than the single shadow...) It is a little chalky however so remember to tap off the excess off your brush!

My favourite shade is probably the purple, and the aqua colour is lovely too. 

Storm
Not as wearable as the Storm palette but a good purchase :))

(£6.50 each)

Favourites... (and worst)

I'm just going to keep this as a post i'll keep updating everytime I think of a product i've been using and love!

- Elf Studio Eyeshadow Primer - Choose this over an expensive one any day! I used the Estee Lauder one for a while and this definitely wins.

- Shu Uemera blush in Peach - 44. True matte peach colour and really subtle and summery, love it!

- Laura Mercier Illuminating Powder - previously mentioned.

- Collection 2000 concealer, already mentioned this

- Sleek palettes, just because they're so handy, fit into your makeup bag and useful colours in them all, i'm definitely thinking of expanding my collection

- Maybelline colour sensational cream gloss - love this stuff, i don't always wear lipgloss (!) but I love the nude shades here! 



There aren't loads of products I hate so thought i'd add them on here:

- Elf Mineral Infused Mascara - I ordered this because I needed a cheap mascara, I love the brush , small and tapered, and it was buildable and a good mascara but transferred to the top of my eyes and it was SO annoying having these little dots everytime I looked in the mirror, my mum found it transferred underneath too. I'd rather go for a Miss Sporty or Collection 2000 over this
