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,

FOTD | Featuring The Naked 3

I wanted to share a Face Of The Day that I wore a couple of Saturdays ago for a night at the lovely Darling Harbour and dinner at the Hardrock Cafe. I haven't been all dolled up in a while and the heat here in Australia makes any effort with hair and make up a complete waste of time. Picture a melting face and frizzy hair - not attractive! But against all odds I decided to try and make it work for a night out in the City. 


The Naked 3 palette - Shades used are marked with a heart.


The infamous Candy Yum-Yum by MAC


As it was still technically Summer, I felt like I would create a favourite combo of mine - Rose gold eyes and Hot pink lips. I prefer to be bold and bright with my lips whilst keeping my eyes simple or neutral. I think this look complimented my dress of choice: a white dress with floral print. I was literally squeezing every last drop of summer that I could as you can see.
