Blogmas day 10! -Sleek Advent

How have we now done 10 days of this?! Behind today's door we got another lip pencil. Again it's from the twist up range which as I've said many times before is a lot easier. The colour of the packing is the shade of the pencil which is a lovely berry tone, again perfect for autumn/winter.

The nib on this pencil is again thin therefore it's easier to be very accurate when doing your outline.

The pencil is so smooth and glides so wont hurt when applying as some pencils can when they need sharpening and also helps for a perfect application.

I had a look through my lipstick collection to see if I had something that could match this lovely colour and I was over the moon when I found one of my lipsticks from the Rimmel Kate Moss range matched. The Sleek pencil shade is - Shabby Chic and the Rimmel is - Rossetto Rouge 104. In these pictures I've swatched Sleek on the top then middle line is Sleek at the top of the line mixed with Rimmel straight underneath and finally Rimmel on the bottom line just to show the difference (or lack of) in the shades.

I know in the picture it looks like there is hardly any difference but that is because these colours match SO well! -Good find and match by myself if i do say so myself.

Hope you've all had a very festive snowy Sunday! - Any pictures comment them down below this post!

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!

Blogmas Day 5! -Sleek Advent

Day 5 already? Once I'd open this door I saw a lovely lip pencil. It's a twist up which saves the time and mess of sharpening and that's always a winner in my eyes! The Sleek logo is on the bottom of the pencil in white which is different for Sleek's usual black they opt for.

The colour? You guessed it...red! They've spiced it up a little though because the shade is slightly darker than what it has been with the other products. It's not too dark to be a berry toned colour but it is a step away from the 'Santa Red' I keep referring to - It is showing up slightly darker on pictures.

The nip on the pencil is thin so brilliant for accuracy when lining your lips. Honestly this product

just glides on so it doesn't feel sharp as some make up pencils can do. 

I've compared the lip pencil next to the lip creme I opened on day 3. I wanted to see if it'd be wearable together. I definitely think they work together. The pencil would simply outline the lips but the colours would easily blend into each other.

Lip Creme - Rioja Red

Twist up Lip Pencil - Spiced Apple.

Who's intrigued to find out tomorrow's product? 

24 days of Sleek - Days 1 & 2 -Blogmas

I'm going to be completely honest here.. I have waited weeks to open my advent calendar. I had my eye on the sleek one weeks before I got it. So When the day finally came I was excited. I contained that excitement for a few more minutes whilst my little one opened his Paw Patrol and Lego City advents first.

Day one:
I opened up door number one to a little compact case. With the usual lovely smooth Sleek packaging, black with their logo. Very simple but I think it works, not too busy. I then opened up the case with a mirror on one side and a Beautiful rose gold blusher. It is a stunning peachy/pink coloured blusher with gold specks of highlight in and it is perfect and for those who know me, know I love me some highlight. I have needed a new blusher because the current one I was using was a bit dark and dim. This is honestly gorgeous and will definitely become a statement in my everyday make up!

Day two:
Here we are on December 2nd and day two of the advent. This one I had a good Eye- dear  (I will get the pun police after me!) anyway, I had an idea that it was a make up brush because of the shape of the door - I'm sad I know -but c'mon when someone gives you a malteaser shaped box you shake it to make sure it's them don't you?

So the brush in day number two is a fluffy but flat eyeshadow brush. Its again in the Sleek design of black and the smooth material -perfect for grip!

I've included a picture of today's make up, I did use the new blusher and also used my new eyeshadow brush to apply my eyeshadow. I used the brush to apply my eyeshadow across the middle of my lid, This brush applied it lovely, picked up loads of product and went on lovely I just finished it off by using a blending brush to get rid of any harsh lines.

So at the end of day 2 of my Sleek advent calendar, I am very pleased. This is what I have received so far and we're only on day 2! 

Who's excited for more?

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.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Review

I have wanted to try the blogger's favourite Bioderma however I felt at around £10 a bottle it was expensive so I tried to find something I think is similar. You guessed it (read the title)... L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-1 Purifying Micellar Solution. 

I find the texture of this product so lovely to apply to your face, its so light and honestly feels like water on your skin. I find it a nice refreshing way to end the day. Before using this I went through a lazy spell and yes I did the blogger's worst sin and used make up wipes -There is a reason everyone gasps when you tell them this, they dry out your face so much! I just used them for convenience. As I said, there is no excuse just laziness.

This product really does take every last trace of make up off your face, I really feel it unblocks your pores. 

I originally spotted this product in my local supermarket for £5.99 however i have since found it cheaper at Boots for £3.33- A bargain compared to Bioderma.
