Sleek Make Up Nude collection Au Naturel Palette

Hello there!
Yes, I know, another Sleek blog post but I am just in love with their palette's at the moment and I just want to share that with you! This is a beautiful nude palette, which is for once going to be part of their permanent line so need to rush out and buy it! But I would say it's a very pretty palette and is worth getting especially if you are a nude lover when it comes to eye shadows. This could be a great handbag staple, something to keep in your bag, if you have a giant handbag like I do, which will be forever useful if you need to touch up or smoke it out for the evening. It was released on August 31st if I remember rightly but I managed to pick it up the day before in Portsmouth Superdrug. Not sure if they were meant to put it out early but I am happy they did as my local Superdrug doesn't actually stock Sleek. Much to my disappointment. 


Colours:
Top: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino
Bottom: Conker, Moss, Bark

Colours:
Top: Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe
Bottom: Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir


Hope you enjoyed the post and it's pictures. I think I shall wear this palette tomorrow and see what I come up with :)

Sleek goodies!

Hello there blog readers! 
Sorry it's been an age but life and all that has gotten in the way, but I plan to do as many posts as I can. I would like to say one a day but I am not promising anything as I don't like to disappoint! 
Well I recently went a little bit crazy and purchased several Sleek make up products! Annoyingly (I really meaning fabulously) I was sent a 50% off voucher for not being able to take part in when they had their massive 50% off the whole site sale which caused massive server crashes and orders going awol! 
Anyway I thought I would share with you what I got. I haven't done any swatches as I wanted to take the nice photo's first, If you would like to see swatches on my posts please let me know :)

This smell so yummy and tastes so good, give you a subtle wash of colour safe enough to put on with out a mirror but bright enough to look like you have colour on not just balm.

 Colours from Top to Bottom: Pin up, Pinkini, Minx, Milkshake and Peachy Keen.
These are really nice to apply they take a bit of practice and a decent brush. I found an angular eyeliner one to be most useful but what you can do is use a cotton bud to smudge out the lip line for a more soft everyday look. They aren't drying dry to a nice matte finish I can't wait to play with these and see what colour combinations you can make! Plus for the bargain prices all these products are a great new addition to a make up bag or handbag for that matter! 
Overall I have loved everything I have bought from Sleek, their palettes are just so brilliant for on the go make up and the massive mirror makes it easy to do anything in it. I even did a full face of make up with just this mirror and palette for the eyes I also had no brushes so don't scoff at the sponge on a stick thing you get with them if needs must they get the job done... Oh I did it whilst I was on the train too and then wore it all night until 4am!!! :)
