Sleek Storm palette ♥

Hi Dolls,

Wandering aimlessly around on lunch, I accidentally ended up in Superdrug! How does that happen?

Anyway, seeing as I was already there I decided to have a look at the Sleek goodies. My eyes wandered along all the rows however, one thing stuck out. The Storm Palette. I have never bought a Sleek eyeshadow palette but it was love at first sight and after a play around with the tester I knew it had to be mine. Plus, at £6.50 it would be rude not too right?

I took it back to my desk had another peek at this beauty and have played with it ever since. I've worn it  everyday in the three weeks I've had it and still get excited about opening it up to apply it.

♥ Swatches ♥

Ps. I have named the colours myself as I couldn't find the official names.

Top Row - Warm Gold (shimmer) Cool Champagne (shimmer) Caramel (Matte) Metallic Gold (Shimmer) Pale Pink (Shimmer) Copper (Shimmer)

The Matte Caramel Colour doesn't come out so well and is rather patchy. I'm not a matte shadow kind of girl so this doesn't bother me personally.

Bottom Row - Dark Bronze (Shimmer) Deep Blue (Shimmer) Forest Green (Shimmer) Midnight Blue (Shimmer) Chocolate (Matte) Black (Matte)

I love the range of shades in this palette, they are very me. I tend to go for more earthy tones such as golds, greens and browns so this will come in VERY handy! The bottom row really compliments the top as you can mix them together and create new shades or do a two toned effect. I use the first Gold from the top all over my eyelids and then the first brown from the bottom on the outer areas. I have even used the Forest Green as an eyeliner.

What do you guys think of this palette?

♥ My September Loves

Hey Dolls,

Another Month has passed (my lord how quick is the time going?) and I have another few favourite products, Some are newbies and some are oldies I have re-discovered.

1 ♥ Sleek Storm Palette - Like OMG... Why have I never had this in my life? This Palette is amazing and hasn't been of my eyelids since I bought it 3 weeks ago! I will do a full review in the next few days.

2 ♥ Maybelline Cats Eyes Mascara - Any mascara from Maybelline I love and this is just as good. Has a brush curved like the Falsies but it is a lot thinner. Lashes are long as demand attention which I adore.

3 ♥ Superdrug Strawberries & Milkshake Glossy Lip Balm - Smells good, really does moisturise, lovely light pink colour and really shiny. All for £1.09.

4 ♥ Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - I've had the same tube for over a year and I cannot live without it. It's my repairing lip balm, Eyebrow smoother, Eyelid primer, Cuticle cream, and more all in one.

5 ♥ Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic - I have had this kit for about a year now and it's a lifesaver if you have a spot. The change is weather has upset my skin a bit so I've been using this daily I love it. I think it was one of my ever posts ahhhhh. See full review here

My July Loves ♥

Hi Lovelies,

July was a busy month for me and busy times, mean busy products... I thought I'd share with you what I loved last month and the new products that found their way into my life. ♥

From Top Left to right and around:

♥ Charles Worthington Shine Spray: This stuff has kept my hair looking soooo glossy this summer. On holiday, with all the sun and sea, my hair started to look dry. A few spritz of this and it was back to full shine even if it wasn't repaired.

♥ 17 Va Va Voom Volume Mascara - I am a die hard Maybelline mascara fan but I purchased this to broaden my horizons and I am sooo happy I did. It's thick, doesn't clump and does volumise. Plus it stays put all day.

♥ Sleek blush in Pixie Pink : I know this blusher looks extremely bright but I can promise you it's really not. A perfect light pink for the apples of your cheeks.

♥ Beyonce Heat Perfume: My new love. I was obsessed with Jimmy Choo but after getting this free with my Glamour subscription I'm in Love. I've worn it everyday since I got it in the beginning of July and have received loads of compliments.

♥ Jergens Naturals in Daily Moisturising : I was sent this and have been using it twice a week. When I came off holiday my skin looked a bit dry so I shoved this on after my bath. Its a funny consistency but it really gets in to your skin and it smells delicious.

♥ Primark Coke Vanilla Lipbalm - A weird thing to add I know, but I actually love this stuff. its not the most moisturising of lipbalms but it tastes amazing and is really shiny. I've been using it on top of my Mac Saint Germian lipstick.

♥ Illamasqua metal powder: I received this in my glossybox and haven't looked back. I've been using this daily, mixing a few pinchfuls into my foundation and my skin is currently glowing. You can use any other shimmer powder in the same way too. Just crush it up and mix or use a pot of gold pigment eyeshadow. :D This summer is all about Radiance and i am swearing by these kind of products.

♥ Elemis Papaya Enzyme peel - This is an amazing face mask that smells of Papaya and peaches. Delicious. Every time I use it I notice my skin is so hydrated, radiant and soft.

What are you guys loving at the moment? Anything I should know about?
