Sleek Highlighting Palettes

New. Highlighting. Palettes. Three magic words everyone loves to hear. I've seen these Sleek highlighting palettes float around blogs a lot recently and only £9.99 each (2 for £12 at Boots now go go go) I needed to snatch them up quickly.

Solstice Palette

Ecliptic                                     Hemisphere                                     Subsolar                                   Eqinox

                

Precious Metals Palette

Plaitnum                            Antique Gold                              Royal Gold                             Renaissance Gold

     

Both palettes are so pigmented! I mean you can see the glow for yourself in the swatch pictures. My favourite colour has got to be Hempishere (the pink shade from the Solstice palette). I can also imagine Plaitnum giving a pretty intense glow. I cannot wait to start playing with these now I've snapped them and written this post.

For the Love of Lipstick

Birthday Suit - Caramel Infused - Barely There 06 - Velvet Teddy - Spiced - Soft Berry 05

I’m all for bright, deep and colourful lipsticks, but during the day I just don’t think it suits me the same. So, here are my top daytime lipsticks!

Sleek Matte Me Gloss in Birthday Suit

I snatched this little beauty up a couple weeks ago and it’s definitely one of my all-time faves. Sleek describes it as a matte gloss, but it’s basically a matte liquid lipstick. I have super dry lips but this never flakes on me. Best part, they’re only £4.99! I tried out the L.A Girl’s version of a liquid lip which is the same price and they were AWFUL. Sleek is definitely the better choice.

Maybelline Color Elixir in Cameral Infused 065

I’m not a huge fan of lip glosses but I loved the colour of this and found myself wearing it A LOT. This lipgloss also looks fab over Velvet Teddy and Birthday Suit.

Essence Long Lasting Liptick in Barely There 06

I haven’t tried many things from Essence, I’ve tried a few products after my friend had double and saw the brand in Wilkos (not somewhere you think to buy make up, I know) but who doesn’t love a cheap lipstick? This is only £2.30 and theres a lot of shades in the range. I’ve even turned some of my friends on this lipstick for their go-to nude.

MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy

Does this even need discussing? Velvet Teddy has quickly become a classic by MAC among Whirl, Rebel and so many others. This colour is always my back up, if I can’t decide I’ll gravitate towards this one as it pretty much goes with everything.

Rimmel Lipliner in Spiced

I love using this lipliner with Velvet Teddy, Birthday Suit and Caramel Infused. It’s such a versatile shade and makes a lipstick look a little different.

Essence  Lipliner in Soft Berry 05        

This has been my favourite lipliner for a year and its nearly at its end! I got this the same time as the Essence lipstick and paired together they look amazing. The Essence lipstick and liner combo was my first choice for a very long time. And to top it all off, it’s only £1.
