January Make up favourites

We are finally at the end of January. It's been nice to start fresh and get motivated ready for the year ahead but it does seem to drag and everyone becomes a bit down with the January blues.With that in mind I thought I'd end on a high with the makeup products I've been loving this month.

My First love is my Morphe 35F palette. I am a massive Morphe eyeshadow fan I think the payoff you get from these eyeshadows are Amazing! from the matte colours to the glitter, the pigment is brilliant and lasts all day and into the night! They are so easy to blend together and I will forever be a massive Morphe fan!

Next let's move onto foundation. A classic for many people but my go to foundation is Mac studio fix fluid. I use the shade nw15. I personally think it gives me high coverage and doesn't wear off as quickly as others.

Carrying on with Mac is my current lipstick favourite in the shade 'Honey Love'. It's such a nice nude colour it has more of a brown tone to it compared to 'Velvet Teddy' which to me is more pink undertoned. 

Next is my blusher. It has already featured on my blog (see blogmas day 1) This beauty is from Sleek,I love the pink shade of it and my favourite part is it has gold flecks in which are so shiny on the skin. Perfect for adding glow to your face. The shade I use is: Rose Gold 926.

To go hand in hand with the blush is my favourite highlighter palette from MakeUp Revolution. This palette is beautiful. All the shades are so pigmented and add such a good highlight to the cheek bones which even stands out in photos. A bargain at £4!!

Speaking of Makeup Revolution, another one of my current favourites is their 'Conceal & Define' concealer. I use it for under my eyes as its high coverage and because I use the shade C1 I find it brightens that area. - This is meant to be a dupe for the Tarte 'Shape Tape concealer'. Another bargain for £4 from Makeup Revolution!!

Finally my last makeup favourite for January is L'OREAL's 'Paradise Extatic' This mascara is absolutely Brilliant. It adds so much length to your natural lashes especially for us mum's who have no spare time on the school run to be applying lashes! It retails at £11.99 which I think is brilliant for an ultimate eye make over every morning!

Let me know what some of your January favourites are, doesn't just have to be beauty!

Blogmas day 12! -Sleek Advent

A new day, a new door! I was very excited when I opened up number 12 to see another palette! As I opened up the case I saw 12 beautiful colours. The packing of the palette is the same as the previous one, plain black with the Sleek logo on.

It's filled with 12 beautiful colours, I would definitely say it's more of a night time palette.  There's lots of shades with glitter in and also a lot of dark colours. Brilliant for smokey eyes!

I've swatched the colours to show you how bright and pigmented the eyeshadows are! and you lucky lot have also got a full face of Sleek make up photos and my first Youtube video (which I'll leave down this page somewhere.)

So much colour in one wipe of each eyeshadow! I'm also going to put in a picture of the pigment that was left on my fingers after I'd swatched them! 

Can you see how much is still on there?! -I mean that blue is something else!

The colours I swatched on my fingers from L-R were number 9, 5 and 10.

I am now going to show you my full face of make up I used using all the products I have received in my Sleek advent calendar so far! - for such things like contour and foundation I have used my own other products as these wasn't in the calendar. However where I could I've used only Sleek.

Find my first Youtube video here:

 Subcribe if you like and I may do more and even get brave and talk!

Be nice! I've even got my Christmas Jumper on!!!

Day 13 tomorrow..

Blogmas day 11! -Sleek Advent

What's behind door 11 you ask? Well today's Sleek product was a makeup brush. This brush is to apply eye makeup, so lets have a look a bit closer.

As you can see the brush is all black with white hairs at the very top. The brush is so soft and quite fluffy therefore it is brilliant for blending. It is also an angled brush which helps apply make up into corners.

I have swatched an eyeshadow onto my wrist to show how well the brush works. The swatch at the top is an eyeshadow applied with one of my flat brushes which has packed the pigment onto my arm brilliantly however the line is quite harsh. The bottom swatch is applied with this Sleek brush we got in today's advent. In the picture you can see how well the brush has blended the eyeshadow in without taking away the pigment. It has left no harsh lines it's all soft so will apply the eyeshadows beautifully making smokey eyes easier!

I definitely need to try a smokey look with the Sleek palette from this advent calendar and now this fluffy angled brush!

See you for day 12!

                                

Blogmas day 8! -Sleek Advent

Day 8 and behind the door was yet another eye product and another eye liner! But this time it was a liquid liner. The packaging is all black with white logo again. I noticed that the handle on this eyeliner is really long which I thought is perfect for more accuracy when applying it.

The nib on the liner isn't the thinnest one so it's brilliant for the more thicker wing. But the colour is a very dark black so definitely brings the glam to your look.

I tested the liner on the back of my hand to show how dark the liner is and also tried to show how thin the line could go, however not straight on my hand!! I'm sure with less pressure and more concentration you can pull off the perfect wing!

Day 9 tomorrow! and the weekend!
