Sleek Lagoon Palette Look!

Hey guys!
The Sleek Lagoon Palette was one of the ones I was lucky enough to get at Christmas, so I wanted to do a look using just this palette. It was so hard choosing a look to do, there are so many gorgeous colours! Eventually this was the look I went with, I hope you like it!

I tried a couple of looks, but my inspiration's been flat lately so I stayed on the safe side and done a purple, smoky look. There's so many gorgeous colour it was hard to choose just one look, I wanted to do some much all at once!

This is the lovely Lagoon Palette from the Aqua Collection.

TOP L-R: Sassea, Deep Water, Reflection, Emerald, Oyster, Black Pearl.

BOTTOM: Pink Jewell, Sand Dollar, Underworld, Sea Shell, Night Sky, Ariel.

I started with ELF eye primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk. I always use jumbo eye pencils because they make whatever eyeshadow you put on top brighter and last longer as it's a sticky base.

I started with night sky on the outer third of my eyelid, in my crease and slightly on the inner third of my eyelid. I wanted to make shadows basically!

Next, I used a paddle brush to apply Reflection onto the inner third of my eyelid. I then when over Night Sky with a fluffy pencil brush with Deep Water to darken the shadowing.

To darken the outer lid a little more and to add more shape I used Black Pearl.

To brighten my inner eye and the very centre of my eyelid I used Oyster, which is soo sparkly! It's an amazing shade which will definitely be getting a lot of use from me!

Under my eye, I carried on Black Oyster and Deep Water until the middle, and then used Pink Jewell until my inner eyelid.

So that's my look from Sleek's Lagoon Palette! I thought I was going to do a much brighter, colourful look with this palette but I was so overwhelmed by all the colours I couldn't make a choice on what to do! So until I work it out, we've gone purple!

I hope you like my look!

Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden Palette Review & Swatches

Hey guys!
I was so lucky today to get the new Sleek i-Divine Palette from Superdrug! They didn't have it on the shelf so I asked when it's due to come out, and she said next week but I could have one now! Happy girl right here!
So, I've quickly rushed home so I could takes some photos and get a blog post up straight away!

I've never noticed before but Sleek actually gives you suggestions on how to use the shades to create different looks! They are posted on the back of the Limited Edition packaging. I've just hunted for some other boxes and noticed it on the Celestial Palette too. May have to give some of them a go, they sound interesting!

Look how gorgeous the shades are! None of the photos I've seen have been able to go this palette justice. There's a great mix of mattes, shimmers and matte/glitters (which seems pretty new to Sleek, and I'm loving it!) that remind me of the ones from Inglot but I might actually pretty Sleeks version - the glitter isn't lost at all on application.

I seriously can't wait to create some looks with these colours! Simple green and mauve smoky eyes come to mind straight away, but I wonder how creative some people with get with this palette. Fingers crossed for a burst of inspiration later!

Now on to Swatches! Here's the top row, L-R:

Gates of Eden - A warm peachy gold, almost copper but not quite there

Eve's Kiss - a metallic lilac. Swatch doesn't do it justice, over NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk this would be amazing

Paradise on Earth - Metallic taupe/mauve, perfect eyelid colour for a smoky look

Python - Again a metallic finish, chocolate brown

Forbidden - a matte taupe with gold fleck of glitter, not as pigmented as I would have liked, but over the right base

Flora - a dark brown with a purple tinge. Sleek's dark matte shades always seem to have amazing pay off. I can see myself using this one a lot!

Entwined - Another matte glitter, pretty much a darker version of Forbidden

Adam's Apple - Sadly I love the name more than the colour. Matte, apple green shade, hopefully NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk will be able to bring this shade to life!

Fig - I don't know why this shade wasn't called olive! It's exactly what it is. Metallic finish

Evergreen - Metallic finish (I love sleeks metallics) true green.

Fauna - Metallic finish again, gorgeous deep green with a tinge of gold, stunning!

Tree of Life - Beautiful matte dark green, reminds me of a greener version of Orbit from Sleeks UltraMatts V2 palette

 

Every shade in this palette is absolutely stunning and I've never been disappointed by Sleek. I now own 10 of their palettes and still get excited when new ones come out! The quality of the product for the price is unbelievable.

I can't wait to start creating some looks!

Vice 2 Palette Look #1!

Hello!
The lovely Miss Louise from Lilting Grace asked me to do some looks using my Vice 2 Palette, so of course I will! I've had this one ready for a little while now, what a perfect time to use it! I will try and get some more looks out using my Vice 2 Palette asap!
If anyone ever wants to see a look, using something I've got then just let me know and I'll be more than happy to oblige!

I didn't have great lighting so sorry for the bad photos, I will do some more looks soon!

For this look I used X-Rated, Voodoo, Habit, Coax and Betrayal.

I also used Psychedelic Sister from my Book of Shadows II.

This is under different lighting, so you can see the beautiful pink colours!

Lashes are Eylure 100, mascara is Mac's Plush Lash and Benefit They're Real.

 

Hope you like the look Louise!

PS, I tried to comment on your blog but because you use Disqus it won't let me - it's always had a problem with Disqus! Never lets me comment on anyones!

Christmas Past Eyeshadow Look!

Hey guys!
As promised, here's my look using all my new products from Born Pretty Store!
I wanted to start doing some Christmas looks but for some reason my brush went straight for the gorgeous pastel pink colour! This look reminds me of everything from my Christmas past. When I was little I wanted Barbie dolls, jewellery, makeup - anything as long as it was girly! And I always lovely my Christmas party dresses!

All the colours I used were over ELF primer and NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, and they all came from the P88 Palette from Born Pretty.

I thought I'd make life easy and show you the colours I used in this look :)

I also used my princess lashes in M-3 which were so easy to wear and they looked great too. Sometimes eyelashes can be quite heavy on your eyes, and can make you look half asleep because of the weight of them however it wasn't the case for these little lovelies!

All the colours were very pigmented, even the baby pink which I couldn't believe! I also used the darkest purple on my waterline and with a bit of Mac's Fix+ I used it as an eyeliner too!

The only brushes I used were the ones from Born Pretty! The pencil brush and fluffly angled brush were a dream to work with. The C brush needs a few washes to try and soften it a bit! It was a little harsh on the skin but it packed eyeshadow on brilliantly.

I thought this look would be great with some sparkle so I used a mix of a lilac and silver cream glitter from a halloween wet'n'wild palette for a touch of sparkly eyeliner.

My mascara as always is MAC's plush lash and Benefit's They're Real.

 

I can't wait to do another look using this palette! I have so many ideas!

I hope you like this look, don't forget to check out the born pretty store and use GEG10 for 10% off!

Disney Series: Sugar Rush Land from Wreck-It Ralph!

Hellooo lovely people!
I finally have another look ready, wohoo! And lots more in mind that I can't wait to get started on!

I got so excited when Wreck-It Ralph came out on dvd, it's by far one of the best movies Disney has released in ages! I love it! It came out just at the right time too, lined up perfectly with Sleek's Candy Collection! A Sugar Rush look just had to be done!

I took inspiration from a photo I found on google, the idea came straight into my head and I couldn't wait to finish work and come home to play with my makeup! It was literally the first thing I did!

I love it when I'm this excited about a look, I can't wait to share it! I hope you guys like it too!
I picked out the green and pink mainly and used the purple from the twirly lolly pops for a little extra colour! :)

The Candy and Ultra Matts V1 i-Divine Sleek Palettes were the perfect colours for this look! I've only used the Candy palette once and I'm already in love with it, I'll post a review on it soon.

If the colours weren't already perfect enough, the names of the are amazing too! Strawberry Sherbet, Bon Bon, Bubble Gum, Pear Drop, Mint Green, Flump... I love them, completely inspired!

Trying to show off some of that glitter! Hard to capture.

The colours I used from this palette were Apple Sour and Mint Cream on the lids, Strawberry Sherbet, Bon Bon and Aniseed for crease and above the crease, Bon Bon underneath the lower lashes and Cream Soda in the inner corner.



I also used my Ultra Matts V1 palette, and used Cricket and as a base shade for my lid and Bolt on the outer third of my lid. I used a mix of Pucker and Pout as a base for the more glittery pinks in the Candy palette, and also as an eyeliner on my lower water line. I used Floss to blen out the pink and Pow! as my highlight shade.

I tried out my new Eylure #100 lashes, and as I expected... they're amazing! Really lightweight and easy to apply. I used the glue it comes with for once and it was amazing! I usually use Duo Glue but this definitely gives it a run for its money. I'm not sure if I'd trust it all night, but definitely good for blogging. Goes tacky very quickly though so work fast!

My eyeliner is by Collection 2000, it's a fine liner pen in a gorgeous purple! Suits the look brilliantly.

 

 

 

 

I hope you like my look! Please leave me a comment if you do, and if you have any ideas of characters I could do next, let me know! x

Disney Series: MALEFICENT!

Hey Guys!
Here's my latest look from the Disney Series, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty! The Idea came from the beautiful and talented Meredith from Pigments & Palettes!

I'm going to upload about 101 photos of this look, sorry! I took it in different light, and in all of them it looks so so gorgeous! This is still quite a wearable look, if you like bold colours :)

 Obviously my main colours were going to be purple and green, with some very sharp lines! I've got to give it to them, they might all be villans but they know style...

 As always, I started with my Urban Decay Primer Potion, then added NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk all over my eye, to make sure the beautiful colours popped!

I've used Eylure's Naturalites #146 because they reminded my of Maleficent's feathery friend... They aren't too over powering but definitely brought a slight edge to the look which is what I wanted :)

ALL the colours I used in this look come from the Sleek V1 and V2 palettes! All of the colours are so easy to blend, and seeming some of them are quite bright and chalky they're still really easy to work with which is amazing seeming the price of these palettes are so reasonable! I'd be lost without them!

Please let me know what you think in the comments below and if you have any ideas of what Disney Character look I could do next! I always love hearing from you guys! :)

Hope you like! x x

Hair Update!

So basically I have destroyed the pigment in my hair. This summer I thought it would be fun to experiment for festival season with my hair colour, and then I got a teeny tiny bit addicted... Instead of telling you all the colours I went through, I'm just going to show you...

 

 

 

 

 

 

What my wonderful Mother said I reminded her of!

 

 

I'm the one on the left by the way...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MERMAID HAIR!

 

 



After a while of my hair being Blue it went GREEN!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the pigment wouldn't come out! No matter what I did (used anti-dandruff shampoo and tried tomato ketchup!) So I couldn't go straight back to blonde, instead this happened...

 

 

It's quite a nice, reddy brown colour and I'm loving it at the moment! It's started to fade a bit so shouldn't be too long until I can go blonde again and start dying it random colours for festivals... because I know it's going to happen....

 

All the crazy colours were Crazy Colors hair dye and they worked really well, but I don't think I'll be rushing to dye it blue again anytime soon! The pigment locked into my hair and left my blonde locks green! So unless you're going to cover it up with a darker colour, be warned!

 

 

Just a quick post today, got a few ideas in my head that I want to blog about but still thinking...

Hope everyone's good!

Love & Peace x
