Review of Sleek New skin revive (terracotta)

Hello, my fellow beauty freaks...
I have a new product to show you! Its Sleek Makeup's liquid foundation. I was really impressed that such a small bottle held 35ml and the fact that its oil free. Its a light to medium coverage foundation. I like the frosted glass bottle its a cute bottle too.
I brought mine in the shade Terracotta (i'm NC45 in MAC) it matches really well. There's like 12 shades so I'll doubt you wont find your colour its a really fresh and light foundation but not too light, very buildable. Although starts to look tired after 4-5hours. I prefer a more matte look and its a bit too dewy for my liking. It doesnt have a particular scent. Its nice to have a try but I still havent found my perfect foundation...
Pros: Dewy and has no oil in it. Good amount of product. Small. Doesnt feel heavy.
Cons: Could look fresher throughout the whole day. Not heavy enough to cover blemishes.

Review of Sleek One Finishing Powder

Hey my lovelies,
I was really excited to try this product as I needed a nice shimmering Finishing Powder and This was exactly what I was looking for.
I love Sleek Makeup so I wasn't surprised that another one of their products impressed me they're a really good company.
When you use the product there's this cooling sensation that you get when you use the product straight after its really refreshing. Its also like a veil and leaves skin nice and dewy. Its really pretty when the sunlight hits your face and leaves all glowy.
Works with all skintones which is nice. I like putting this over my Liquid foundation, you can even put this on your collar bone when out in the summer or something to add some essential shimmer. Lovely product with golden pink shimmers. The packaging is something I don't think will appeal to everyone but I like, its pretty! Lasts all day too xxx

Only problem is, is that its really messy as soon as you take off the seal!!!! I don't think I can travel with this product its too messy.

This is what its like sheered out on my hand, its pretty right? I love it , treat yourselves to one at Superdrug or at the sleek website, http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/products/ONE+Finishing+Powder-256.aspx

Love ya!

Review on Superdrug's MUA range!


Superdrug brought out their £1 range ages ago but I've only recently got my grubby paws on some stuff. They have lipglosses, lipsticks, powders, blushes, bronzers, mascaras, eye dusts, eye shadow's and a lot more. I personally wasnt interested in anything but the eyeshadows, but its a great concept especially with teenagers like me with no income. If you want check them out click on the link below! xxx
Anyway on to my review... I picked up five objects (£5!) and went home to investigate. As you can see I picked up smokey eye colours as I looooooove my smokey eyes so lets get craking,
PROS:
The eyeshadows come in a nice dome shaped case a little flimsy but still sturdy, really love the size of these babies their slightly smaller than my MAC blushes which is amazing. Their nice and soft too.
CONS:
Well to be honest I find it hard to complain about things for a £1 and I cant actually find something to complain about, maybe the matte colour could be more pact together.
Shade 1: the bottom left. Pearly white colour (nice highlight) Great quality, I actually found out they last just as long as my MAC and Urban decay shadows with primer!!!!!! Really pigmented colour I used this all over my lid.
Shade 12: the top left. Strangest most unique colour of the bunch, a brown with topaz bluey-green undertones. Love this colour like crazy.
Shade 11: the bottom right. Favourite colour!!!! Used this today actually, really pretty sparkly brown with almost sliver undertones ( or maybe that's just the shimmer...) love this, very wearable and sweet.
Shade 20: the top right. Love black shadows as I always put them on my outer V to define my eyes.

Then I'm on to the Blush. Now I got shade 4 because it was the darkest. Now I black, so this comes out as a nice shimmery pink. I always thought pinks look rubbish on dark skin but its really pretty. Doesnt last all day but no blush does. Lovely shimmery pink.
Overall really happy!
