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!

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 :)

ART // Francisco Lachowski Drawing

So I thought I'd finally throw an art post onto my blog since I haven't done one yet. Drawing is one of my biggest passions and I love drawing people in particular.. as you'll probably soon come to see! I thought it would be quite nice to share some of my art with the internet, instead of them being hidden away in sketch books collecting dust under my bed ;) I'll admit that I haven't done very much art at all this year, so this should hopefully inspire me to start sketching again before I start university!

I'll kick it off with a drawing of one of my favourite male models - Francisco Lachowski [look him up if you want.. but be warned your ovaries may explode!]

Done on normal printer paper using a soft carbon pencil and pure graphite stick :)

Let me know what you think of it.. also is there anything you used to love that you want to take up again? :)

NATURAL COLLECTION // Moisture Shine Lipstick In Rose Bud

I love affordable make up.. being a poor student and all - one of my favourite brands for cheaper make up is the Natural Collection line from Boots. Everything in their collection is under £2 - amazing or what?! Plus it's not all terrible quality either which makes it even better!

Natural Collection | Moisture Shine Lipstick | Rose Bud | £1.99

I don't even remember buying this lipstick so was surprised to find it in the bottom of my make up case. It's a moisture shine lipstick in the shade Rose Bud, which is a dusky rose pink colour - perfect for everyday wear. It applies so smoothly and has a really creamy formula that I do find nourishes and moisturises my lips. Its finish is more matte than it is glossy, it's kind of in between the two so it's quite hard to describe! I would say it lasts a good three to four hours - even longer when I use a bit of concealer on my lips as a base, plus it makes the colour more intense :)

Swatch Without Flash

Woahh.. so I just checked the Boots website and all Natural Collection products are 3 for £5! Sadly though, for some strange reason I can't find a link to their lipsticks online :(

THE HAIR DESIGN STUDIO LONDON // Argan Gold Hair Vitality Oil Review

I just realised I haven't posted about any hair products yet, so I decided to do a review on my current favourite hair serum which is Argan Gold by The Hair Design Studio London. I'd never heard of this brand before trying this product, but I spotted it in Asda for a few quid and decided to give it a go. I was originally planning on getting pure Argan oil, but had a mini heart attack when I saw how expensive they were! Instead I settled on this serum, since it was affordable and you got a good amount of product - nearly double the amount that was in the teeny Tresemme Salon Smooth Serum I was using before!

The Hair Design Studio | Argan Gold Hair Vitality Oil | £3.98

I love the packaging because it stood out a mile away [okay I may be exaggerating a tad] from all the other products on the shelves. Although it's described as an oil on the packaging, I would definitely say it was more of a serum as it's quite gloopy.

This product has a pump dispenser and for me a little under one pump is the perfect amount for my hair, which is is down to my hips.. a little bit of this goes a really long way! I usually either use this on my hair when it's damp to help untangle all those pesky knots or after I've styled my hair to keep all the frizz and fly aways flattened.

What I adore about this product is the fact that you're not left with any oily residue on your hair. I hate it when my hair feels even slightly greasy, but this serum is very lightweight and doesn't make your hair feel heavy at all!
