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,

Self Confessed ShopaHAULic



I can never seem to help myself when I walk into Superdrug and Boots. I always find myself buying things I don't need, but since I haven't had the luxury of either stores in Australia it was only fair to pop in and pick up a few things when I returned. Of course, when I made this purchase they hadn't started the 3 for 2 deals yet. Just my luck. Anyway, I thought I would start up a 'Self Confessed ShopaHAULic' series on my blog so let me show you what I picked up last week.
 

 
SKIN CARE & BASE:

I have ran out of my daily moisturiser so I purchased my trusty Simple Kind To Skin - Replenishing moisturiser. My skin isn't sensitive nor does it need a deep moisturise so I find that Simple does the trick. Its basic, cheap and doesn't leave a greasy residue. 

I have heard a lot of positive reviews on the Boots Botanics range lately so picked up the Iconic Clay Mask - Shine Away and the Purifying Face Scrub - All Bright. I have tested out both products and I am really happy with the results. I won't give too much away as I might do a full review on the Botanics Range soon.

Next we have the new Nude Magique Blur Cream from L'Oreal in Light to Medium. I have ran out of my Benefit Porefessional and I did love it. Although, I don't think it's worth the £23 for the small tube you get. I find the Blur Cream almost identical to Porefessional - if not better! I'm obsessed so far.

 
 
PALETTES:

The top palette is MUA's new x10 Matte palette. I really like the range of warm and cool toned neutrals so picked this up for £4!

Sleek's palettes are always gorgeous but this Showstoppers iDivine palette is something else. It was released as part of Superdrugs 50 Years anniversary. I love the variety of matte and shimmer shades and I've already created a few looks with it. 

OTHER BITS:

I actually picked up this Argan Oil hair mask in Primark for £2. I love hair treatments and I will be testing out this sachet sample to determine whether or not to buy the full tub! 

Rimmel's Stay Matte powder is a staple in many beauty guru's make up collections. I am verrry late to the party with this one but I have been loving it so far. 

I couldn't resist this lipstick from Beauty UK in the shade Gossip Girl. It's a hot pink shade with purple iridescent shimmers throughout. 



There we have it guys. Let me know if you would like to see a review on any of products mentioned!
