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 6! -Sleek advent

Behind today's door was exciting! With the shape of the door on the advent calendar I thought it'd be a little palette maybe an eyeshadow duo or another blush. I was So excited when I opened up it up. It was a palette, however it had not two not even 5 but 12 mini eyeshadows in it. It is so cute! - I know what you're thinking eyeshadows can't be cute but trust me they can when they're this small! -Perfect for your handbag though ladies! 

The palette itself is lovely, its got some matte shades for a subtle day look or even as your transition colour if your going full glam. Then of course it has some glitter shades.

I think with this palette you could try many different looks like I said subtle everyday looks, full glam and with the range of different colours you can match it to what you're wearing or feeling that day! 

I swatched a few of the colours to see how pigmented they are and as you can see they are pretty good! From left to right I used number 8, number 5 and number 9. I love number 8 for a smokey eye and number 5 is so in this festive season! Gold glitter at christmas is a must!

Day 7 tomorrow! one whole week! 

p.s. Nudes!

Who can actually say they don't love a bargain or a make up dupe? because if you say you, after this post i can probably change your mind. Recently I popped into the mothership that is Primark. After filling the basket way too full I browsed the make up section and picked up the 'p.s Nude' pallette. There are 3 palettes to chose from but I thought I'd try the nudes first.

The pigments on the eyeshadows are so good. I wore two of the colours from the palette when England was having our heatwave - Which lasted all of two days! Moral of the story they were very long lasting even on a burning day when normally you feel your make up melting down your face.

The packaging on the product is lovely, very simple and very much a dupe for the Naked 3. The primark dupe retails for £4.00 so the packaging isn't as strong as the Naked 3. However i think i prefer the cardboard rather than the metal obviously the tin on the Naked palettes keep the eyeshadows more protected especially when travelling. The Naked 3 retails at £39.50 so it is a massive saving of £35.50.

I'd say if you want one grab yourself one from Primark before you miss out.
