Blush By 3 for Summer

In the Summer, I like to wear blush that is a little brighter than I would normally wear. It really helps to make your face brighten up and brings the look together.
 
 
Sleek makes some of the best blushes around. Now I know I have been on a little Sleek craze for my last couple of posts, but I can't get over how amazing their products are! Above is the Sleek Blush by 3 in 367 Lace. These blushes are super pigmented. With just the slightest touch on the product with a brush, you can go very far. They are easy to blend and layer over other products, including the other blushes. For people like myself that may be a little scared of how bright they look, don't be! With a little bit of blending, they turn into a very natural looking blusher on your cheeks. This is sold for $12.49 online on sleekmakeup.com for my U.S. readers :)

  • School is about a little less than a month away and I have also decided to work. This means that my blogging will have to be adjusted. I won't stop blogging (no matter what), but my blogs will have to be uploaded at a later time of the day as opposed to morning or afternoon. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Makeup for Beginners

I know that there may be some people that read my blog that are just beginning their journey in this makeup adventure. Now I by no means am a professional at makeup. I don't know every single thing about makeup and brands, but I do know a couple of things. I know what I like and I know the basics.
 
For people that are just starting their makeup collections or simply want to own the basics, I thought I would share this post with you.
 

 
This is the Sleek MakeUp i-Divine Palette in Au Naturel (601). It is a perfect beginners palette and I think that everyone should have one in their collection. Sleek has some of the most amazing eyeshadows and are truly my favorite. This is a palette with a combination of 12 matte and shimmer eyeshadows. It has colors to create a beautiful neutral eye and some to spice things up a bit. I use this palette more than any of my others because of how convenient it is. When I'm in a rush to go to school, I know that this palette has everything that I need in it.
 
This palette is also perfect for people that want to start a makeup collection, but don't want to spend too much money. This palette is $9.99 online and shipping is very inexpensive. The only downside to this is that this brand of makeup is only sold overseas. It has not yet hit the stores here in the U.S, but like I said shipping is very inexpensive.
 
Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Sleek Limited Edition ShowStoppers i-Divine Palette

When it comes to eyeshadow, I am more of a neutral girl. I tend to lean more towards browns and light colors for some odd reason. I don't know why, it's just something I've always preferred.
 
I was a little worried about this palette because some of the colors seemed to be out of my comfort zone, but I purchased it anyways. I must say that I am so very glad that I did.
 

 
This Sleek Limited Edition Showstoppers i-Divine Palette is just so beautiful to look at. Like most of Sleek palettes, this is a combination of matte and shimmery eyeshadows. The colors are so different, but come together to make an amazing palette. There is not one color that I don't like, or haven't used in this palette.
 
The quality of Sleek eyeshadows is unbelievable for their price. This palette was $9.99, which is super inexpensive since you are getting 12 eyeshadows and a large mirror. These eyeshadows are super pigmented and easy to blend. They aren't chalky or extremely powdery. These are some of the best eyshadows that I have ever tried and give high-end brands a run for their money
 
 
Hope you enjoyed this post :)
What are your favorite palettes?

Sleek Face Contour Kit Review

Sleek Makeup is a brand that was created and sold in the UK. Recently, Sleek made shipping to the U.S available on their website. I had been dying to try their products because I had heard so many wonderful things about them.
 
I went on a mini Sleek haul and thought I would share with you my experiences and thoughts of some of the products that I ordered.
 

 
I was a little iffy about this products when I first heard about it for one reason. This Sleek Face Contour Kit comes in three different shades ( light, medium, dark). My skin tone is very in between medium and dark depending on the time of the year but I decided to go with the medium shade.
 
The first thing that I loved about this product was the packaging itself. It is a very compacted little kit so it is easy to carry around in your makeup bag. The kit also comes with a very decently sized mirror inside which is helpful when you're doing your makeup on the go.
 
The product itself is wonderful. The powder is matte and very pigmented. You only need the slightest amount on your brush to contour the cheeks and such. The highlighter is also great. It is shimmery, but not overpowering. Like the powder, the highlighter is very pigmented so just a small amount goes a long way. Both are very easy to blend and work with.
 
On the website this Sleek Face Contour Kit is $8.49. Shipping to the U.S is very inexpensive and you get the product in about a week. Overall, I am in love with this product. Finding a good matte contour powder and a good highlighter is difficult, but Sleek put together two amazing ones in one kit.
 
Hope you enjoyed this post :)
