It feels like it’s been a lifetime since I last bought anything from Sleek. It’s not because I don’t like the brand or the products, it’s just, well I guess I often forget all about their products to be honest. After finding my rose gold blush buried deep in my blusher drawer, I decided to have a look in the drugstore at what else they had to offer.
I love shimmer eyeshadows, and having heard a lot about sleek palettes, I thought i’d start at the beginning and pick up the Sleek i-Divine Original Palette. It has such a wide range of gorgeous shades that are perfect for day to night and even when you’re feeling a little bit edgy! At £7.99 it’s a bargain for 12 shades!
The Sleek Precious Metals Highlighting palette also made it’s way into my basket as I’m really into that glowy highlighted skin at the moment, which means that i’m buying almost every highlighter I find. I’m not 100% sure if i’ll get on with these and the bronzing powder in the bottom right of the palette looks suspiciously gold and warm for my liking.
So those are my picks from the sleek range! I’d love to hear your thoughts on what I grabbed,let me know in the comments! And if there’s anything I should be trying from the range, do let me know!

The Best of NYFW!

Comments Off on The Best of NYFW!

Rodarte created these luxe rose-gold lips for their runway show. It certainly shows the versatility of a rose-coored lip. It works well on the majority of skin tones, and is safe for everyday. A little bit of glitter gives it such a luxurious touch! Transform this look into something wearable for a night out using our Studio Moisturizing Lipstick in Ravishing Rose and finishing with a layer of the Studio Glitter Gloss in Golden Glitz over the entire lip.

One of the big questions that beauty fans were anxious to answer concerned the dwindling trend in nail art. Is it truly on its way out? Nail art of previous seasons was replaced by natural, nude nails at Kate Spade and DVF. A bit of a surprise, but it seems that sleek, neutral nails will be the way to go this fall. Get this look yourself by filing your nails into a round, feminine shape and coating with our Essential 3 in 1 Base, Top & Strengthener, followed by two coats of our Essential Nail Polish in Nude.

Unexpected colors on the eye were pretty consistent during NYFW. Metallic emerald eyes at the Richard Chai show were a lovely, eye-popping change. This look is beautiful for both night and day. To start, use our Essential Eyelid Primer on lids and follow with the Studio Pigment Eyeshadow in Mystic Moss. For evening, amp up this look using the Studio Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Black/Smoke. Line the lower lash line with the Shadow Stick end (Smoke) and smudge using your finger or a Q-tip. Line your water line with the Eyeliner end (Black) and you have a dramatic, yet delicate look for a night out!

What were your favorite NYFW beauty looks?
