So it's been nearly a year since I've posted, oops! I'm really getting back into my make up at the moment and can't stop myself from buying beauty bargains.
This month I treated myself to a brow kit and some blushes from Sleek Make Up. Sleek has received rave reviews from all different kinds of beauty websites and bloggers, with different skin types, skin tones and tastes in make up. The only thing I have from them so far is their lipstick in Cherry, which is a beautiful dark red and I thoroughly recommend! At £4.99, the colour, quality and staying power is amazing. But back to my most recent haul:
Here they are, unopened in all their newness. From left to right:
- Sleek Make Up Blush in Rose Gold - £4.49
- Sleek Make Up Blush By 3 Palette in Californ.I.A - £8.95
- Sleek Make Up Brow Kit Light - £8.07
I bought these from the official Sleek Make Up Amazon UK store, so I got a couple of the pieces a bit cheaper than from in store (you can buy them in Boots or Superdrug), and the delivery was free.
I chose these out of their whole range as firstly, I am terrible at doing my brows! My eyebrows are really pale, I don't have much hair there and what is there flies in every direction. I don't have loads of money to spend taming them and I'm quite reluctant to buy eyebrow products as even blonde ones have been too dark in the past. I have heard that this brow kit is a fantastic dupe for Benefit's, and even though I couldn't find many swatches on line, it just about looked light enough. As you get brushes, tweezers and two colours (wax and shadow) for under a tenner, it had been on my wish list for a while. I'm excited to try it out!
As for the blushes, I am desperate for some variety in that department as sadly I only own two! I haven't heard a bad word about Sleek's Rose Gold blush, famously a dupe for the beautiful but expensive NARS Orgasm, so I just had to try it out for myself.
I had never heard of Sleek's California blush palette until I started looking on the Amazon store. Again, I couldn't find many swatches online so I'd like to add own to what's available, and I chose these because they look perfect for an every day pretty, natural glow, and I thought they'd look good with my pale winter skin and with a tan. I hear cream blushes are much harder to apply than powder, so hopefully I don't have too many problems.
Over the next week or so I will post detailed swatches, pictures and tutorials on all three of these products, so keep checking back and remember you can follow me on the sidebar to the right!
I also have a brand new Instagram account: beautygemsbog, so you can get your make up fix through insta and find out when my newest posts are up :)
Love,
Gem
