Sleek i-Divine Original Palette Review

23 February 2014


I was actually looking for the Sleek Vintage Romance Palette when i picked up this beauty, unfortunately the the Superdrug i was in didn't have it.
I had only tried lip and cheek products form Sleek and had been really impressed with both, so i decided to try more from there range. I hoped that the great quality and strong pigmentation would impress me just as much and i am happy to report i was not left disappointed.
I usually find with a lot of high street makeup brands that there eyeshadows are not great, i often find them chalky in texture with poor colour pay off.
This is most definitely not the case with Sleek eyeshadows, for your £7.99 you get twelve eyeshadows one matt, and eleven metalic/pearlescent shadows. The colours come out on the skin exactly as they look in the palette, so unlike some eyeshadows what you see really is what you get.
The shadows are smooth and incredibly pigmented, i think there's a great selection of colours in the Original Palette, there's something for everyone and the beautiful shades can be used to create different and unique eye looks. My favorites are the khaki green, the navy blue and the rose gold colours and i cant wait to play around with them and see what new looks i can create.
The packaging like the other Sleek Palettes is the same thin black plastic packaging, its nothing exciting but its durable and the small size means its easy to carry around with you.

I am in love with this palette, at £7.99 its just unbeatable for the quality of the product and i will most definitely be picking up more Sleek palettes in the future.
Have you tried a Sleek Eyeshadow palette? What did you think?



Dissapointing Product, Topshop Matt Nails!

22 August 2013



Hello lovely's todays post is a first for me, its the first time i am writing about a product that has disappointed me! As much as i would love my blog to be purely a place for positivity and amazing products, i think if i am disappointed in a product i need to share that with you too. 
I was excited when i picked up Topshops matt nails in Drink Pink, i've been loving the look of matt nails and am usually a big fan of Topshop nail polishes. I painted on two coats of the polish and waited for it to dry, to me it looks nothing like i would expect from a matt polish, as you can see from the picture above it even has a slight shine to it, which in my opinion is not a matt finish. The colour of the polish is a lovely bright raspberry pink but thats the only good thing i have to say about it. Along with the finish being disappointing i found that it was a very thin formula and chipped really easily i removed it after about a day or two. The Polish was £6.00 and i feel a complete waste of money i expected more as i am a massive fan of Topshops makeup. If your looking for a great product for matt nails i  would recommend spending a few pounds more and purchasing Essies matt topcoat which gives a brilliant matt finish to whatever polish you put it on top off. 
I hope this review had been helpful and that you don't mind the negative vibe too much! Has anyone else tried the Topshop matt nails? What did you think?
