MAKEUP REVIEW: Sleek Shangri-la Respect Palette


I love Sleek makeup. I really do, swear no other I have found gives the finishes and results this brand has without being ridiculously expensive. I hadn't bought much makeup for a while, especially after buying a few eyeshadow palettes from ebay (which I'm sorry, kinda sucked.) so I figured 'meeeh, I don't need much else.'

I didn't know sleek had come out with new palettes from PPQ until I saw them at Superdrug so I thought I'd give it a go. I bought the respect palette mainly for the reddish shade (VANDELLAS). Been searching foreeever for a good burgundy colour. I'm in love with the shadows as a whole. Really pigmented even witout wearing primer (do, though. It makes your makeup last for the entire day. I recommend Laura Geller eye primer :) )  Plus the names of each colour, nodding to the Motown era ( XD) 
Just....swoon. Don't be intimidated by the super bright colours either, they're a lot gentler than they look, especially when they are blended with a darker or base colour.

You won't regret buying this. or anything from Sleek, if I'm honest.

Boots Haul Review! Max Factor/ 17

Hi all! So yesterday I got a few things from Boots to update my makeup stash (I have a TON, but I don't like to take chances on the shelf life of mascaras.) I decided to try two brands I haven't really bought before, Max Factor and 17.

I bought the new Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara from Max Factor for brown eyes just to see what the fuss was about eye brightening mascara.

Simple enough packaging and a good deal as Boots has them on special for 4.99.


I really like this type of wand as I've found that with any mascara with it tends to have the best coverage and lengthening power.


All in all I was really please with it. Don't know about any light reflecting or eye brightening, but it gave great length and minimal smudging/clumping. Pretty good for 4.99!

I got a good amount from 17. Because I bought the Falsify False Lash Mascara which was over 5.99, I got a free bronzing kit with it. First though, I'll review the Mascara.

(gah, why did the pic come out upside down! :( )


I wasn't crazy about this brush as it came out a bit clumped up and sticky...but upon application it had the same results as the Max Factor mascara. Clump and smudge free! 




This is the free set I got from 17, the Get Bronzed set which contains a golden cream blush, shimmery eyeshadow and lipgloss.

On my skin the blush is perhaps a little bit sticky but gave such a pretty bronze! I would probably use this under a blotting powder to counter the shininess.


Eyeshadow is a lovely pearly bronze that is nicely pigmented. I'd be able to wear this for day or evening without it looking too harsh.


The lipgloss has a nice formula, not too sticky but gives off a great sheen with a very pretty pinky/orange colour.




Pretty great haul for just over a tenner, I'd say! 

Ta-ta for now!

DEEZ KICKS.


I first saw these pretties on ASOS and instantly fell in love! Platforms, Cushioning, High Tops, POLKA DOTS. All in one awesome pair of shoes. They were £45 at first so I figured I'd wait for them to go on sale...they did..and just my luck, my size sold out :(:(:(

But thanks to Ebay, I found them again for £15!! I love those lucky Ebay moments....

UPDATE!

Every time I start up a blog I tend to end up with this face:




SO! I'm going to really push ahead and PROPERLY (yes, I've said this way too many times now.) give this all a go. Things to be seen on the blog next:

*Pictures of me/OOTD
*Fashion and Beauty reviews
* Updating the blog more regularly, as I'm utterly fail at it.
*Also, more actual talking from me. After looking at the blog as a whole, it looks...bare. This is my third attempt at making a proper blog and I want it to go well, I want to stick to it.


TTFN!
