3for2 makes a happy girl

It's 3for2 on cosmetics at the minute in superdrug....this means I have spent a lot of time & money there...:-) oh well I'm training to be a makeup artist and need to try LOTS of different products!

Here is a very picture heavy blog on the sleek items I bought...:-)




Ohhhh goody let's start with eyes!




I got a bit palette happy!




Firstly I picked up the Original Palette...a great mix of matte & shimmers



I also got the Sparkle Palette! It does exactly what it says on the tin-SPARKLE CITY! With the added bonus of a matte black!




Thirdly I got the storm palette...it's a beautiful palette of six metallic shimmer neutrals & two deep coloured metallics & two mattes - great for a smokey eye!




BADGIRL! Agh! This palette is just outstanding! My stupid phone camera does not do it justice! It's definitely my new favourite 'going out eyes' palette! I have combined every colour with one another to create smokey eyes & there is not one combination that doesn't work!

Now...the following palette (IN MY OPINION) is what UD's Naked palette should have been...a perfect mix of matte & metallic shimmers. Ladies & gentlemen...I give you

Au Naturel!



My favourite word to describe this palette....YUMMY!

On to the lips!



I picked up four lipsticks three mattes & one sheen. They apply beautifully & last a good few hours before the need to reapply!



I also got five of the pout paints! These bad boys are by far my favourite lip products of all time...I have never used an occ lip tar...but with sleek being half the price I don't think il bother!!!




Gorgeous creamy texture which blends & mixes like a dream! They last a ridonkulous time on my lips...even after eating & drinking! These will be in my kit FOREVER!


& lastly on its little lonesome...mainly because my local superdrug never had my foundation shade in stock...is a pretty dolly pink blush





Once again my iPhone camera just does not do it justice! It's my new favourite blush which gives just a hint of colour with one swipe, or build it up for a brighter pink finish!

39 Sleeps till Christmas! Cannot wait to get my new camera so I can feel a bit better about my blogs!

Hope you like this one anyway! Get yourself to Superdrug or shop online and pick up some Sleek products! You will not be disappointed!!!!
