Beauty/Skincare Wish List

Recently I've been eyeing up so many beauty & skincare products but at the moment I have got literally no money. This is the problem with beauty, there is absolutely thousands of products to choose from you could spend so much money! I'm saving up my money so I can hopefully buy a things which are on my wish list.

• Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask - I've previously used the Cupcake mask but wanted to try a different one. BB Seaweed has fresh seaweed, ground almonds, rose absolute and aloe vera to sooth the skin which sounds so great. Also has kaolin which removes any excess dirty or oil on the skin which is what my skin needs! 

• Sleek Face Form Palette In Fair - Sleek is one of my favourite make up brands, I have quite a few of their products and have never had a problem. I've been eyeing this up for ages and I've heard so many raving reviews on this. It contains a highligher, bronzer and a blush.

• Makeup Revolution Blush Palette In Sugar And Spice - Makeup Revolution are a very popular yet inexpensive brand lately, 8 blush shades for the price of just £6, you seriously cannot go wrong. Also, some of the shades look great for highlighting too.

• Benefit High Bean - Benefit are one of my favourite brands. My mum has the mini high beam and I'm always stealing it because I love it that much! It shows I need to buy my own lol. 

• Barry M Speedy Nail Polishes - These have only recently been released but what caught my eyes were the colours! I love pastel colours and they look gorgeous for spring/summer! And they're speedy at drying! So that's a big bonus.

• MAC Studio Fix Powder - I've wanted this for a long time now. Sometimes I really don't feel like wearing a liquid foundation, especially when it's hot weather. This looks great as it gives great coverage for a powder, it is kinda pricey just for a powder though.

• Lush Ro's Argon Body Conditioner - This is Rose Jam scented and it's one of my fave lush scents! My mum has a small pot of this and if I'm lucky she'll give me a bit, it's so soft on the skin it's unreal and the smell is to die for, I need the big pot in my life!!!

• MAC Lipstick in Brave - This lipstick looks gorgeous, whenever I go to Mac I always pick this up and have a quick swatch. Whenever I buy another Mac lipstick, this will be it! It's pretty similar to Velvet Teddy which is very popular. 

• Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I need this bronzer in my life, I've heard raving reviews about this bronzer especially for us pale skin folks, bronzers I have used in the past have always been orange or just way too much on my skin but this looks just right for me.

March Favourites

Whenever it comes to doing monthly favourite posts I always end up forgetting half the things I've been loving, but I remember 4 products what I've loved through March.

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream in the shade  'Birthday Suit' - I have always looked at Sleek's matte me range and been interested in trying one of the shades, I have heard raving reviews about this shade and heard it's like the 'Kylie Jenner lip' look. When I got it I wasn't quite sure, but I was totally in love with this when I first tried it, it's not drying, it's opaque on the lips and the lasting power is absolutely amazing. It was still on my lips after I had my dinner, it's a gorgeous lip colour. If you're into your nudes and like liquid products trying to matte, try this! It was only £4.99 which is a great price for a great product.

Collection No Clumps Mascara - Again, I've heard raving reviews on this product, I've heard it's a really good dupe for They're Real by Benefit, I was like yeah whatever, how can a mascara what's only £2.99 be a dupe for They're Real. But honestly, I have been using this every day ever since I got it and I can totally say, IT'S A GREAT DUPE! This is like what? £16 cheaper than They're Real and it does the exact same, it lengthens so well and stays on for ages. Going by the name 'No Clumps' I can agree with this, it doesn't clump my lashes at all, it separates them so well! At the moment, I'm preferring to use this over my They're Real, honestly, if you're on a budget, this is a mascara that you should pick up!

Beyonce 'Heat Rush' Perfume - I received this perfume in a set for my birthday back in January off my parents which came with a body lotion and shower gel, I think this is the smallest bottle they do. I have never tried any of Beyonce's perfumes before so I was intrigued. This is my favourite perfume at the moment, I have worn it pretty much every day since I got it!(When I remember) it has a floral/fruity scent which I love! As you can see, I've already used half my bottle. I'm in love with this perfume.

Soap and Glory 'Sugar Crush' 500ml Shower Gel - Soap and Glory is a very raved about brand when it comes to their skincare/shower&bath range. Every time I go in Boots, I always have a quick sniff of this shower gel, it's very citrusy and smells like limes in a nice way. I picked this up on a 3 for 2 offer on all S&G. I've been using this in the shower throughout March and I'm not even half way down the bottle yet, you need the tiniest amount for it to foam up, the smell is gorgeous and lingers on the body after. It's one of those shower gels which you could use as a wake me up in the morning.

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
