Sleek Highlighting Palette - Precious Metals


I got this palette ages ago when it first came out in Superdrug - and I don't know why it's taking me so long to actually review it... weird. But I do really like this product - I think when I got it it was £9.99 which to me is a bargain for the quality of the product. 
You get three cream highlighters and one powder, you also get a wee brush to apply them but I'm not really fond of it, I just like to use my fingers to apply the cream and my realTechniques to apply the powder.
 The packaging is shiny and sleek, and it also closes magnetically which saves the hassel of trying to work it open like so many palettes. The products themselves are lovely, the cream highlighters are smooth and creamy and very well pigmented and the powder is also smooth and easy to blend.

Sleek Face Form

I'm going to be honest and say I haven't tried that many Sleek products, I only have two of their lipsticks but I have heard so many good things about them and their products, and when I seen that they had this product in the shade I wanted (Medium) I knew I had to get it.
This product retails for £9.99 and can be found in larger Superdrug Stores

The first thing I fell in love with was the packaging, I love the matte black with the shiny Sleek on the front, it makes it look and feel expensive and sophisticated.




The pigmentation of this palette is wonderful, as they are powders I was a bit weary that they might be a bit chalky, but they are very smooth and glide on and give a wonderful pay off. I will be honest and say that I don't really use the blush shade, as I don't think I would be able to pull it off, at least not until summer where I want to look very bronzed and sunkissed, but other than that, I really do love this palette and for £9.99 you can't go wrong!

First Impression - Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Mulberry 788


For me, this is the perfect shade of a purple / black lipstick, which is an awesome colour for the autumn winter season. It is probably one of my favourite colours, along with red to wear for that time of year and is probably my statement lip shades. 
 It is a sheen lipstick so it is quite shiny on my lips, which distacts from any dry skin and it helps to make my lips feel moisturised.
It did last quite a few hours, but with wearing it while eating, drinking and kissing, well, it's bound to wear off but that doesn't really bother me, it only takes a few seconds to reapply so, it's all good.
I also love the packaging, it's really small and compact and it's also matte which I love
This lipstick will definately be my statement lip colour this Autumn/Winter. and for only £4.99, I'm definately going to invest in more shades, I love it!

Small Haul

My intial plan when I went into town was to buy a new lipstick, just one... but my plan failed. With help from my boyfriend, who egged me on to buy things, I may have bought too much. The shops I bought from were Superdrug, Boots, TkMaxx and Poundland, we'll start with Poundland and work our way back. 

The reason I went to Poundland was because I really wanted a glass mug for the likes of hot chocolate and smoothies etc. and I seen this... yes it is a classic beer mug, but for only being £1, I had to get it. I will be using it for smoothies and what not because it is really quite awesome. I love it


Next I went to TkMaxx, I love there wee storage boxes and as I'm a huge book lover, when I seen these storage boxes I just had to get them, plus they were really inexpensive. The smaller one, Paris, was only £3.99 and I'll be using this to keep my passport and house kets etc. in. The larger one, Italy, was £4.99 and I'll be using that to store some of my make-up







And lastly I went to Superdrug and Boots. Initially, like I said before I just wanted to buy a new lipstick, so I went to Superdrug because they usually have really good offers, unfortunately I didn't see any, which sucked, but then I went over to Sleek and seen that their Lipsticks are only £4.99! I was really surprised and had to get one. I then went over to Collection and looked at their lip pencils and seen they have a really nice plum shade, which I've wanted for ages, and for only £2.99  had to get it. 
From Boots I got two Revlon lip products because they had an offer on, two lip or nail products for £10, and as I've been eyeing up their moisture stains, I had to get one and then I seen a really lovely matte red lipticks which would be perfect for autumn/winter.
