Holiday Eye Of The Day - Part 1!

This is one of my holiday eye makeup 'looks' - sorry about the rubbish pictures, I'm not used to doing these kinds of things yet (hence the lack of mascara etc too) so bare with me while I try to learn.
Please also excuse the dry skin and blood shot eyes - that'll be the result of me spending most of the day in the pool/on the slides on the first day!
I wanted to use bright colours but didn't want to spend half my holiday fussing over it, so kept it fairly simple. I think it turned out ok, what do you think?

I used my Sleek Safari Palette to create the look (C1, C2 and D2 in the photo, thanks to dolcevanity.com for the photo below) and my Avon Gel Eyeliner in black. I also finished the look (after the photographs were taken) with Bourjois Volume Fast & Perfect Rotating Mascara!


Hope you like it. x

Sleek Molten Metal Cream Eye Shadow Duo!

I’ve just seen this amazing new eye duo from Sleek MakeUP on FashionInsight, it grabbed my attention right away as I am a big fan of metallic eyes, and metals are hotter than ever right now (yay)!

Two cream shades are included in the duo, pewter and toasty gold and are said to be highly pigmented (as to be expected with Sleek), show up on all skin tones and can also be used on the cheek bones, lips and as a highlighter too, if you like!

They’re also said to be long lasting and crease free, unlike a lot of other cream eye shadows that are available.

Unfortunately it’s not out until January 9th 2011 (which seems a bit odd as I think this would be perfect for Christmas and New Year), but it is said to be a permanent addition to the range and will be sold on the Sleek MakeUP website and in Superdrug stores (UK) and will either be £5.99 or £6.99 (a bit of confusion here as the release states both prices).

Personally I cannot wait to get my hands on these, especially to see if they truly are long lasting and crease free as I’ve avoided a lot of cream shadows for this precise reason – could Sleek MakeUP have perfected the cream formula enough to win me over? I hope so!

Competition - Win a Sleek Bad Girl Palette & Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner!


I've been so impressed by the Sleek ‘Bad Girl’ palette (here), and the Avon ‘SuperShock Gel Eyeliner’ in black (here) that I decided to go and buy one of each and run a competition so that one of you, my lovely readers can win both.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning, is follow/be following my blog via Google Friend Connect (to the right) and leave me a comment below with your contact details. Your contact details can be your email, or your twitter name (but you must be following me on Twitter also, so that I can DM you if you win) but remember, you *must* be following on Google Friend Connect in order to be entered.

I’ll pick a winner in about 4 weeks time, so let's say that the competition will close on Wednesday 22nd December 2010 at 23:59PM (UK time).   Sunday 2nd January 2011 at 23:59pm UK Time.

I'll choose the winner using random.org.

Edit: I'm extending the competition until the New Year, firstly as I've had a couple of people email to tell me of difficulties in subscribing via GFC (so giving it a bit more time should enable these people to subscribe in time) and also because of the bad weather, I think it would take longer for me to post the prize out so I would rather draw the winner later so there's not so much of a gap between winning and receiving your prize.

The competition will now end on Sunday 2nd January 2011 at 23:59pm UK Time.

Sleek Christmas 'Sparkle' i-Divine Palette - Sneak Preview Swatch!

I saw Sleek talking about an upcoming limited edition Christmas ‘Sparkle’ palette a few days ago and I was instantly intrigued by it. Their exact wordings in relation to the palette were:

“Ok so for all of you that hate sparkly glitter laden eyeshadows - just ignore Sleek MakeUPs Christmas palette launch!”

and

“We’ve actually been working on a sparkle palette for 2 years it is so difficult to do!! Disco fever, meets Xmas sparkles= Sparkle :) December”

I’ve been so excited and have wanted to find out more ever since! So when Sleek posted this preview swatch earlier on Twitter I just had to post it up, especially for those of you who didn’t see it. So here it is their little preview of their planned Christmas palette.

Release date will be announced in a few weeks, but is said to be near to Christmas (to be expected, really).

What do you think of it? I think it looks VERY promising, can't wait to see the rest of the colours.

Swatched - Sleek Bad Girl Palette!

Now I've got my mitts on one of these palettes, I thought I'd do a quick swatch for you. I took pictures in varying lights/slightly different angles and all with flash (as it's been a dull day, at best), if it brightens up in the next few days then I will take more photo's with no flash.


I haven't put the product on as thickly as I could have done (which is more noticeable on the lighter colours) as I wanted to show you a true colour pay off on the skin, without having to pile it on. Obviously if/when you use the palette yourself, you can build up the colour as much or as little as you'd like, but the darker colours are highly pigmented - as you should see below.

 
Innocence - A shimmery white - but still quite subtle as doesn't apply heavily.
Gullible - A shimmery flesh tone, subtle and doesn't apply heavily, as above.
Blade - Shimmery/metallic silver (the lightest silver in the palette).
Gun Metal - Shimmery/metallic... gun metal grey.
Underground - Deeper grey (heading towards black) with slight metallic/sheen.
Noir - Fairly matte very dark brown, verging on black it seems.
Intoxicated - Metallic very dark olive green.
Envy - Even darker green that verges on the grey side, still metallic/shimmery.
Obnoxious - Fairly matte dark navy blue.
Abyss - Even deeper blue, seems fairly matte.
Twilight - Gorgeous metallic purple.
Rebel - Fairly matte purple that seems a bit more on the plummy side.

I totally recommend this palette, the colour payoff is superb and it actually lasts really well - after doing the swatches I left the colour on for a while and I didn't notice that much deterioration in the end result. It also didn't come off too easily when I was trying to remove it so I'm confident that I could wear these colours on a night out and not have to worry about it sliding off my face before the night is done.

This is just a quick post to remind you that the Sleek Bad and Good Girl Limited Edition Palettes are out as from tomorrow. I'm so excited to get my hands on the Bad Girl Palette and will be sure to do my own swatching once it's in my possession!

Will you be buying one, both or none of them?

New Sleek i-Divine Limited Edition Palettes - Bad Girl & Good Girl!


JUST CONFIRMED - These palettes will be released on October 27th, get it in your diary!

Yesterday I saw pictures of the next Sleek Limited Edition I-Divine Palettes to be released. They are named Bad Girl and Good Girl; Bad Girl is made up of sexy and smouldering dark colours whereas Good Girl is a very girly, and very pink collection.

Personally I am looking forward to Bad Girl (shown below) more than Good Girl as GG is way too pink and sickly, with nothing to contrast it with that I just can’t see how it would work for most people. I do love pink as a colour, but from the pictures this just doesn’t grab me. I actually thought it could be lip/cheek colours at first glance, which would work much better with the colours included in the palette in my opinion.



As you can see above, Bad Girl looks amazing, I really am wetting myself (not literally you’ll be pleased to know) with excitement about it, and I have linked below to the full original post with pictures and swatches so you can see for yourself. Oh and there’s some pictures of Good Girl on there too, for those who fancy a look.
