Sleek Eyes And Cheek Palette Review

Hello everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't made a post in quite a while and tbh I don't have any excuses! I just didn't know what to next write about. But I recently won a competition with Sleek and I won both their new Eyes and Cheek palettes. They actually retail for £10 each so I'm so happy that I won them! I have been using them so I thought why not make a review post on them? I haven't yet done a review post on my blog so here goes! I'll include a few photos of the palette itself and swatches on my arm. They're called 'Dancing Till Dusk' and 'See You At Midnight' so I hope you enjoy! :)





So this is the palette Dancing Till Dusk! This palette is SO pretty! I think it's my favourite from the two. The coral coloured blush is the blush in the shade Sahara which you can buy separately! It's a matte so it's great. The other blush is a soft pink which has glitters in it which is really cute and gives a shimmer to your cheeks making you look extra good! The 4 shadows all come from the Au Naturel palette, the colours are quite similar, with the velvety browns and the pale shades which are great for a base, these shadows would be so good to create a smokey eye! My favourite shadow is the glittery pale one I think it's SO pretty, the photo really doesn't do the colours justice, sorry! It comes up a gold in person. I would definitely say these are VERY pigmented. It also comes with 2 little brushes, a shadow brush and a blush brush.





So this is the other palette in 'See You At Midnight'. Again, isn't this palette just SO pretty aswell?! I would say this palette is definitely one for you girls who love a bit of smokey eye. These colours are very pigmented so you don't need much on your brush at all tbh. The beautiful eyeshadows come from the Romance I-Divine Palette, they're deep purples and blues which are so pretty on any skin tone. The darker blush is in the blush Pomegranate which again, you can buy separately. The other blush is a dusky rose. My favourite shadow is probably the golden shimmery one yet again like the other palette, I can't get enough of these colours lately!

These palettes are actually quite small so very handy if you're travelling especially because it's a 2 in 1 product, I would definitely recommend these products, so go check them out!

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and I will be doing more reviews on products soon :) Thanks for reading! (If you got to here) :D

October Favourites

Hello everyone, hope you're well! :) 

Today I've got my October favourites for you! I've been loving a few products throughout October so I thought I'd share with you, I'd definitely recommend all of the products I talk about because they're so good and worth the money. October is one of my favourite months because it's autumn and that's my favourite month. I love everything about it! :) 



Urban Decay Naked 3 
I'm gonna start with my NAKED 3 palette, omg this palette is literally a dream! I know that it's got more pinky shades than the other 2 but I still love to use it during these autumn months, it's my absolute fav palette and the pigmentation is AMAZING! I've used it every single day i've worn make up and I generally can't explain how much I love it! 

Yankee Candle Tealight French Vanilla
I've never really been a big candle lover much before but my mum actually gave me these because I got a new lantern which burns tealights, so I thought I'd try these out and they smell luscious!! I don't really know the difference between vanilla and french vanilla but ok lol? I am defo gonna get some more candles from the Yankee range!

Rimmel Kate Moss 107 Lipstick
 Okay I have seriously wanted this lipstick for AGES! When I got it I was so happy, it's a really dark berry red and perfect for the autumn/winter season. I wasn't sure if it would suit my pale skin but it's actually really flattering. I've seen that Zoella wears this aswell and she rocks it so well! This is defo my go to lipstick atm!!

Barry M Berry Cosmo Nail Polish
I picked this up in Superdrug along with some other colours. This colour is great for the autumn, it's a really dark subtle purple and it actually looks good on both short or long nails! It also looks amazing with a glitter polish over the top. I would defo recommend this polish if you're looking for a dark purple. For me personally, it started to chip after about 4-5 days which is pretty good!!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
One word to describe this product is incredible!! This takes off ANY make up like a dream! They're Real mascara by Benefit is so hard to get off but with this it's so much easier, it also doesn't sting my eyes at all! I saw a lot of people rave about this product so I thought i'd try it out and I wasn't disappointed. I would also defo recommend this product aswell!

Thank you for reading my post ( if you got to this point) :)
