Face of The Day using Fyrinnae Shadows

It was my Dad's birthday on Sunday and we had a few people come round for a BBQ, the weather was absolutely gorgeous and we had a lovely afternoon out in the garden. I decided to use some of my new Fyrinnae shadows as they are so sparkly that they look gorgeous in sunlight.

Face:

Bobbi Brown Corrector Light Bisque

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Illamasqua Hollow Cream Pigment as contour

Shu Uemura Colourless Setting Powder

 Illamasqua Hussy Blush

Eyes:

UDPP

Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy on lid

Fyrinnae Dinosaur Plushie on Lid

Fyrinnae Calavera Cupcakes

Fyrinnae Arcane Magic Glitterboi mixed with Illamasqua Sealing Gel as liner on upper and lower lashlines

Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

Lips:

Sleek Heartbreaker Lipstick

None of these pictures show you just how amazing Dinosaur Plushie really is, its contains so many different colours of shimmer that it almost looks holographic, it's definitely worth buying so you can see it in person!

I was also really impressed with the Sleek Lipstick, I ate and drank and the colour stayed on my lips really well, I didn't feel the need to re-apply at all.

Nails Of The Week - Sleek Poison Ivy

I was in superdrug the other day and obviously had to make the most of the 3 for 2, I picked up a couple of Barry M bits and this Sleek Nail Polish in Poison Ivy. This is the first one I have tried from Sleek and I am impressed. The range is pretty small in the superdrug I was in, there were only about 6 colours. This was 2 coats, if you have short nails you could probably get away with 1! Top coat is Leighton Denny Crystal Finish

With Flash

Without Flash

My only dissapointment with this is that in the bottle it seems to have a purple duochrome but this doesn't show on the nails at all. But even so its a gorgeous colour and I am really impressed with it, especially for the £2.99 price tag! Have you tried any sleek nail colours?

Sleek Safari Palette!

Hey!

I nipped into Superdrug today to pick up some alcohol for pigment pressing and while I was there of course I had a look at the make up! I was looking at the Sleek stand when I saw the Safari Palette just laying there! I am sure this was a mistake at my Superdrug as they are not supposed to be released till next month so I grabbed one quickly and I am so glad I did! I have had time to compare this to my other palettes and honestly the only colour that is exactly the same is the black. Some of the other colours are similar to ones in other palettes but not exact matches! And for £4.87 I am seriously not complaining!

So onto the pictures, these are with flash:

The swatches are dry with no base, just like in the other palettes there a mixture of textures and finishes. As always they are incredibly soft and very pigmented and blend really well together.

Here is my eye of the day using the 4th from the left top and bottom and white as a highlight, I am really looking forward to playing around with this more!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! x

Review - Sleek Eye Dusts

Hey!

So I know a lot of people (me included) have done posts on the Sleek palettes and I thought I would blog about another one of their products which I love! It's the Eye Dusts, which are loose pigments. I have 6 of these so far.

Top Row: Dirty, Vintage, In The Nude
Bottom Row: Eden, Fantasy, Jet Set

The swatches are in the same order as above, this is dry with no base!

Here is a comparison with a MAC pigment, size wise the Sleek pots are not as tall but they are wider, with MAC you get 7.5g and Sleek 6.5g. Now price, MAC are around £15, Sleek about £2.99! I would say these are comparable to the chunkier MAC pigments. They are not finely milled like Barry M Dazzle Dusts but the colour payoff is incredible! These do come with a sifter but I removed them as I find it easier without!
I have found that the best way to apply these is with a stiff brush and to pat them on to the lid first before blending, this helps to prevent fallout!
I would definately recommend these to anyone that is looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC pigments. There are about 18 colours available, so I am sure there will be one that catches your eye! I would recommend that you test it before you buy though as the texture does vary between the colours.
Sleek is available at larger Superdrug stores as well as some Beauty Supply Shops.
If you would like to see a look with these pigments please let me know!

Sleek Palettes and FOTD

Hey!

I thought I would share another great cheaper make up buy with you, they are the Sleek eyeshadow palettes, these cost less than £5 each. I have 3 of them Original, Storm & Jewels. Jewels is a limited edition palette which is out now. There are 2 other ones available Chaos which is all matte and Acid which has Neon and bright colours.

So onto the pictures, here are the 3 palettes I have and swatches, these are without any base!

The Original Palette

The Storm Palette

The Jewel Palette

As you can see these shadows are incredibly pigmented, all of the palettes have a matte black shade although the consistency of these do vary, the softest most pigmented one is in the Storm palette.

So yesterday I did a look using the Storm palette, I used the light gold and the green, the only thing missing from this palette is a highlight shade, I guess you could use the light gold but it is very shimmery and I prefer a matte highlight! This is actually using the same colours as Hele used in her post about this palette! I also used GOSH velvet touch eyeliner in Woody Green on the upper lash line and waterline.

I honestly think Sleek is a great make up brand, it is one of those that has been around for a long time, it used to only be sold in beauty supply shops but is now stocked in most Superdrugs. I have some Pigments and Ink Pot gel eyeliners from Sleek which I will do a seperate review off!

Hope everyone is having a good week!! x
