Sleek Matte Me - Petal

Sleek Matte Me lip cream in the shade Petal

Suddenly I have had a recent obsession with Sleek due to their amazing face form palette which I use daily. I have decided to branch out into the brand's other lesser-known products and stumbled across their lip creams. I haven't seen too much rave about these in the blogosphere so I thought I'd give it a go, and I love it. Since the formulation of this cream is matte, it can be a bit drying on the lips. I've found that if you apply lip balm just before you apply this cream, it makes your lips very sticky and uncomfortable to wear. This particular shade is quite natural on my skin tone yet it looks more pinky in person. I would describe the colour as a barbie yellow toned pink.

The doe-foot applicator is quite dry due to the formulation of the product and feels like a marker pen when you slide it across your lips. However, the staying power of these creams is amazing! I would describe this cream as more of a stain due to how long it clings to your lips yet this has consequences. It is awful to remove with a makeup wipe and leaves an unattractive pink ring on the edges of your lips on the morning after. Nevertheless, the first few hours of wearing this product is an absolute dream and makes me feel confident knowing that I have something on my lips that isn't noticeable to my touch. I am aware that there are 'Gloss me' versions of this cream that I haven't yet discovered as I would prefer to use a glossy lipstick than a lip gloss- that's just my preference though.

Have you tried this product?

Apologies!

Hello strangers, I am so so sorry that I haven't posted in absolutely ages (slapped wrists).  The blogger website has crashed on my laptop thus meaning that I cannot post.  However,  I have just received a tablet on which I can now write posts! Only problem is that it is a tedious process transferring my images from my camera,  to my laptop,  to my tablet to then post here.  But we'll see how it goes! This afternoon I am hopefully going into Mac to buy my first lipstick so I'll try to keep you posted on that!

Hope you've all had a good start to the year and don't hate me too much for my lack of consistency!

Cut-Out Denim Shirt

H&M in sale £7

Can't possibly comment on my chins or the appalling state of my skin but hi! I picked up this shirt on my recent trip to H&M in the sale for £7. I think this shirt looks great layered under a jumper with the collar poking out of the top, also dressed down with a simple pair of black leggings.

Sleek i-Divine in Oh so Special £7.99

Top- Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate
Bottom- Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up, Noir

I absolutelye love this palette from sleek and I use it everyday. I use Organza all over my lid to add shimmer,  Boxed to fill in my eyebrows and Bow as a highlight in the inner corners of my eyes.  I haven't used all of the shades yet but they are all very pigmented from my swatches,  especially the shimmer shades.  After using this durable palette, I would like to add more to my collection.  I'm definitely a fan!

Hope you had a good New Years x

Tresemme Texture Style Spray

Tresemme Texture Style £5.49

Well this isn't my favourite texturising spray out there but it does a good job. I find that this spray makes the hair somewhat tacky to the touch and a little fluffy. If fluffy hair is what you're after then I guess this is the product for you! I prefer the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray (review here) to give texture to my hair. The consistency of the product is really strange, I expected it to be a liquid form spray but it turns out to be a thick mist. I dont know about this, but I'm personally not fond of it. The product as a whole is ok, but you could find other products that are just as good or if not better for the price. Sorry to disappoint any of the Tresemme fans out there! This spray is also available in a creme and tousled wave spray, so they might be a better product than this (give me a comment if you've tried either of them!).
