Sleek Contour & Blush Palette in Light | Review


Hey lovelies! Firstly, I should point out the nail mark in the bronzer of this palette (if you hadn't noticed already). When opening it to take photographs of it my nail took a big chunk out of it. It does not make for a pretty picture. Anyway, today's post will be a review of the fabulous Sleek Contour and Blush Palette. Sleek is my ultimate favourite brand and this product did not disappoint.



It consists of a bronzed contour, highlight and blush. For just £8.99 from Superdrug, this product has to be my favourite purchase for a while now. I got it in the shade Light as I felt like this would suit my fair skin tone better than the darker palette. Sleeks packaging is so sleek (duh), classic and classy. The matte black casing and enclosed mirror just make it an ideal palette for various occasions. 


The bronzer shade is great for contouring and adding depth to the skin. It does not appear orangey or too cakey as some bronzers do. It's a warm brown tone which is more complimenting. All 3 shades are fab dupes for expensive products and this bronzer replica's Nars Laguna and is similar to Benefit's Hoola. The highlight shade is identical to MAC's Soft and Gentle Mineralise Skin Finish which I bought recently. I haven't been using my MAC one as much as this one is much more handy as it's in this palette with the complimenting bronzer and blush. The shade is a champagne shimmer highlight which looks very natural and adds a sheer glow to the skin. The blush is my favourite Sleek blush and the perfect description for it is rose gold. The gold speckles within the blush are so fine and sit beautifully on the cheeks. This ones a dupe for Nars Orgasm blush.


Have you tried out this amazing palette yet? If not, go buy it now!!! ttyl,

Wearing | Aztec Diamond


Hello peeps! Long time no see. Or long time no blog? I have been on holiday recently and then I got sick after returning... Boo for sickness. So, I feel like I have neglected my blog for a little bit but I'm back and fighting to get into the swing of things again. I thought I would post a few outfit snaps to show you all what I was wearing on holiday. Holiday outfits are so much more fun as opposed to the boring old Scottish weather and scenery. Having said that, these snaps were taken before leaving for the airport. But anyway, this is my travel outfit post.

Apologies for the bad quality photos, my memory card for my camera decided to disappear so I couldn't use it the full holiday. Major PAIN!!!







Sunnies - Primark £1!!! / Top - Topshop Sale / Kimono / Jeans / Sandals / Watch - Michael Kors / Bag - New Look / Nails - Various Barry M, Topshop and Rimmel Nail Polish

I like to be comfortable when it comes to travelling so I thought that Topshop's incredibly comfy Leigh jeans and a kimono were the perfect combination. I bought this little white top from the Topshop sale and have already posted about it on my blog in my last outfit post. My Kimono is from new look and I love the triangle trim at the bottom of it because it's a little different. My sandals are yet again La Moda's chunky heels but if you can't find them on there, Ebay is a good place to look. I have just painted and decorated clear pointed tips with different nail polishes and little diamontes. Great if you are on a budget as the clear tips were only £3/4 from Ebay. 


Thanks for reading guys, ttyl,

June Favourites | 2014


I come to you again with another favourites post. We're nearly half way through the month of July but I am on holiday in Portugal at the moment so I'm going with that excuse ;). I have just a few beauty favs that have had me hooked throughout June so read on to find out what. 

Sleek iDivine Au Naturel Palette
A must have eyeshadow palette. These shades are universal and I always use at least one of the shadows on a daily basis! 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
I am loving my cleansing water and I cannot put into words how much it has changed my routine when removing my make up. I have noticed that I haven't got as many blemishes and spots as I usually get because I used this constantly last month.




MAC Hue
I have finally found that 'my lips but better shade'. It's the best nude that I have found to compliment my skin tone! I will be repurchasing it very soon at this rate.

Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Extreme Waterproof 
I have been loving using this BROWN mascara for the past few weeks as it gives off a softer look! I wish I had discovered this when I was a blondie as looking back on photos I feel that the black mascara was a lil harsh. The formula is amazing and it holds the length and curl all day.



Sigma Small Contour F05 
I love all of my Sigma brushes but this has been my favourite lately. I use it to apply my blush and to powder contour.




Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso 
My favourite blush for the summer rime! Luminoso is a rose gold shade with gold shimmers. I love using it to finish off my contour! 

 I'm sure everyones July fav's will just be around the corner! ttyl,
