Sleek Palettes...

Sleek Makeup is a great, affordable drug store brand. They have a great range of products from blushers, foundations, lip glosses & these fabulous eye shadow pallettes.

The Sleek I Divine pallettes consists of 12 shades of high quality, super pigmented shadows. These mineral based shadows are smooth in texture and blend really easily to create beautiful, professional looks.

If your a big fan of Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj make-up looks then I would recommend the Ultra Bright pallette. These shadows will easliy help recreate any of their looks.


If you prefer the dark, smokey eye look often seen on Cheryl Cole or Kristen Stewart then try out the Ultra Dark pallette. These colours blend well together and will help give you a professional finished look.


Sleek is available at Superdrug and these pallettes are at an affordable price of just £7.99

Balmi...

I am loving these new lip balms from Balmi. The packaging is so cute and it also comes with a little clip so you can attach it to your keys! They come in a range of different flavours from Mint, Strawberry, Coconut, Raspberry & Blackcurrant.

The balms contain Vitamin E, soothing Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to help leave your lips moisturised, soft and super smooth. They also provide SPF 15, so protecting your lips from any harmful rays.

The spherical mould makes it really easy to apply and saves you from getting the product all over your fingers and contaminating you Lip Balm pot or tin.





They are £4.99 each and are available from Boots. You can also check out other stockists on their website http://www.balmi.co.uk/

Birthday Treats/ July Favourites...

Hi guys, so it was my birthday on the 18th July and I got some really great presents, most of which were beauty products! So I thought I would combine them with some of my favourites from July!


Jo Malone - This is my first fragrance from Jo Malone and I absolutely love it. I got Pomegranate Noir and it smells so fruity but quite musky as well. I really like heavy scents and with a touch of pomegranate this is really nice for summer and winter.

Kerastase - I am starting to become a big fan of Kerastase. This serum is from the Resistance range and is built to protect and seal split ends. One pump a day through the ends makes hair feel softer and stronger. If you have long hair this is a must to protect the length.

Revlon (pink tube) - If you have heard of the Clinique Chubby Sticks but thought they were a bit pricey then these balms from Revlon are just as good but at half the price. They come in a vast range of colours and really soften the lip.

Rimmel - Wake Me Up concealer. I have heard that the foundation is supposed to be amazing but I thought I would give the concealer a go first. I really like the packaging and the wand is a really easy way to apply. It gives great coverage that doesn't leave a cakey feeling on the skin.

Embryolisse - Lait Creme Concentrate. This is my third tube of this moisturiser and I will be buying a lot more of it in the future. I have seen a massive improvement in my skin since using this. It sinks into the skin straight away and leaves a lovely glow.

Dior Amber Diamond - This powder highlight is probably one of the most expensive makeup products I have bought (well is it Dior) but it has been worth it. It has a gorgeous shimmer and really highlights the cheekbones beautifully.

Bourjois - Smokey Eyes - Three great eye shadows to create the perfect smokey eye. The colours are really pigmented and are easy to blend together.
