SLEEK MAKEUP WISHLIST // Face, Lips and Eyes

I think it's about time for another wish list! This time the spotlight's on Sleek Makeup which is one of my favourite brands, since their makeup is both affordable and great quality. I only own a couple of palettes from them and their Face Form Kit [review here] at the moment but I've had my eye on a few pieces for a while now.. if only my local Superdrug would actually start ordering more stock in! :(

Anyways, here are my top picks from their online store :) What I love most about their website is the fact that for most products they do swatches on fair, medium and dark skin which is unbelievably useful - it makes shopping online so much easier!

RIMMEL // Wake Me Up Foundation Review

How's it going guys? I'm sure you've all heard a lot about Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation before, but I thought I'd share my own thoughts on it with you. I originally bought this from Asda [the makeup aisle is always the highlight of my Asda trips!] as everything on the Rimmel stand was under a fiver. I've had this foundation on my wish list for a while and lo and behold there was only one left and it just happened to be in my exact shade!

This foundation claims it 'visibly reawakens and illuminates skin with a radiant glow' and for me this is definitely true. It contains teeny glitter particles which give it a shimmer which has been the subject of much debate in the beauty blogosphere! I personally love the healthy dewy glow it give me and think it's the perfect summer foundation - especially since it contains SPF 15. Just be careful because you do end up with shimmer all over your hands after applying this which does look a little strange :S

I would say Wake Me Up provides medium coverage, but it can be built up easily. It has a very silky consistency and feels super lightweight and refreshing on your skin. I only ever have to use one or one and a half pumps so I'm sure this will last me a while!

One Pump Of Foundation

My shade is number 201, Classic Beige - I'm quite lucky in that since my skin is fair to medium, colour selection wasn't a problem. However the biggest issue with this foundation is that the range of colours available are pretty rubbish - if you're very fair or medium to dark skinned you might have a bit of trouble finding your perfect shade since they're all a bit samey and beigey.

My favourite thing about this foundation is the smell - oh gosh I could sniff it all day if it wasn't such a weird thing to do ;) I can only describe it as a fresh citrus scent which may not be to everyone's taste but is definitely a plus for me!

The foundation does last all day, I would say you could get a good 8 hours out of it but after that it starts to look slightly oily. I understand that this happens with quite a few foundations, but I think in this case the shimmer definitely makes the problem worse!

So I've been talking about this foundation so much lately even my lovely mumma went out and bought one! Overall, a summer favourite and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants something light but with more coverage than a BB cream.

SEVENTEEN // Lipsticks And Shimmer Brick

This is my first post, so I thought I'd dive straight in by sharing a few products I bought from Boots a couple of weeks ago. Now as you probably know, Boots always has some kind of deal on and this time it happened to be three for two on all make up - one of my favourites! Sadly I didn't have very much money to spend, otherwise I probably would have gone wild. After much umming and aahing I decided to try out some products from Boots' brand Seventeen. I ended up choosing two lipsticks and a shimmer brick highlighter, here's what I thought of them.. :)

Left: Toffee Waffle, Right: Hot Chilli

Top: Toffee Waffle, Bottom: Hot Chilli

17 Lasting Fix Lipstick

Price: £4.29

Toffee Waffle has become my favourite go to lipstick at the moment. It's a lovely warm orangey brown that just matches with absolutely everything! I haven't worn Hot Chilli as much, but it's a gorgeous coral colour - perfect for summer. I think these two are great; they're super pigmented, last for hours and they're also matte lipsticks which are my fave type. 

 17 Instant Glow Pink Bronze Shimmer Brick

Price: £4.99

This also caught my eye so I decided to go for it - I've been searching for a good highlighter lately. The colours in it are beautiful, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed with its pigmentation. It's quite a subtle highlight, which is okay for everyday wear but not really what I was looking for.

All in all though pretty good for under a tenner, I wouldn't mind trying some of their products again soon :)

Wearing Hot Chilli ;)
