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!

The Sunset eyeshadow palette and Pout Paints are definitely at the top of my list right now, especially after seeing so many lucky people receive them in their Glossyboxes! Sorry I went a bit blusher mad, they look really bright in the picture above but I promise you the swatches on their website were gorgeous :)

LA COLORS // Stargaze Eyeshadows, Glitter Gloss & Jumbo Eye Pencil



The last couple of weeks have just been absolutely manic, lots of catching up with friends and enjoying the sunny weather :) On Monday I finally got a chance to visit the new[ish] Westfield in Stratford with my cousins, where we discovered an amazing discount beauty store called Beauty Base. Not going to lie, I could have spent ridiculous amounts of money in that store because they had tonnes of LA Colors goodies for 99p [I KNOW?!], which I've been wanting to try out for yonks. After an armful of swatches I finally settled on these three products but I'm sure I'll be up there soon to grab some more!

Jumbo Eye Pencil
Relaxation - CP413
Price: £0.99

First up is the Jumbo Eye Pencil - I've been looking for NYX type eye pencils to use as bases so I thought I would give this one a go. They had loads of different colours to choose from but this gorgeous bronze colour instantly stood out to me. I found it was very soft, creamy and easy to apply - perfect under gold and brown eyeshadows. In fact I've even started wearing it alone blended out slightly during the day as a bronze smokey eye - love it!

LA Colors  Star Gaze 16 Color Eyeshadow Palette
Price: £2.99

Trust me, if you saw how many lush palettes there were in that store you would understand how difficult it was to choose, but I'm glad I went for this one :) How could I not buy it with so many lovely colours for only three quid?! I love the last five colours from the top row - they're stunning golden orangey shades which work so well together. The colours have good pigmentation but they are a bit chalky and powdery so you do tend to get a bit of fallout when using them. Overall though I think they're amazing for the price and the range of colours are so versatile.


LA Colors  Brilliant Shine Glitter Gloss
Rosy Pink
Price: £0.99

To be honest I'm not really that into lipgloss, but I thought why not and I'm so glad I did. The picture doesn't really do it justice but this lipgloss is packed full of glitter and is a beautiful peachy rose gold colour. And yes, it is super glittery on the lips as well! Surprisingly, it's not as sticky as other lip glosses although you do need to reapply every couple of hours. Being the glitter fan I am, I really like this for nights out and parties over my lippie - it's probably a bit too much for everyday wear though!

All for under a fiver! I couldn't believe it myself - if you ever find yourself at Westfield be sure to check it out and tell me what you think. Also got to check out Victoria's Secret which was so exciting, we all came out smelling amazing after spritzing each other with every single fragrance in there he he ;)

had a little play with my goodies :)
