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,

Favourite MAC Eyeshadow Duo | Jest & Haux



I only have a few MAC eyeshadows in my collection as I am more of a palette buyer as opposed to singular shadows. I'm also not too adventurous when applying my eye makeup as I prefer a bold lip accompanied with a simplistic eye. So you could say that most of my eyeshadows are pretty much neutral.

Todays post will be my favourite 2 MAC eyeshadows that I have inserted into this x2 pan palette. They are in my favourite shades - Jest and Haux. This x2 palette is great for carrying in your makeup bag, on a night out and also travelling. You can also swap and change the shades for your preferred eyeshadows of the moment.

Jest and Haux With Flash / Without Flash

JEST (Finish - Frost)
A soft pink shade with shimmers. Super creamy and can be used with Fix + to amplify the shimmer. I bought this as it compliments those of warm complextions like myself. Its a neutral highlight shade that I love highlighting my inner tear duct with.

HAUX (Finish - Satin)
A red toned brown. Versatile to be used with many other shades and is easy to blend. This shade enhances my blue eyes and looks even more amazing on green eyes. If you find that cool browns do not suit you, check out Haux as its not as dull.


Example of JEST all over lid and HAUX in the crease and outer third


I use this duo in a few different ways - Jest in the inner corner and Haux all over the lid for a smokey night time eye OR Jest all over the lid and using Haux just through the crease for a simple daily look.
 


You can find these shades on the MAC website here, or any MAC retailers!
