MAC BRONZE EYESHADOW




MAC BRONZE EYESHADOW £10

I picked up this eyeshadow a couple of weeks ago on the MAC Cosmetics website, when they had free delivery as a bit of a mid week pick me up. I hadnt swatched it before, but as the name suggests is a bronze/brown/gold shade. It is much more warm toned than some other bronze shades in my collection but it is a nice change and looks amazing all over the lid as well as in the crease. As with all MAC eyeshadows it is creamy, blends beautifully and lasts all day with the use of a primer. I hadn't really had the occasion to wear it until Saturday night when me and the gals went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Spinning Fields. It was absolutely yummy and I would 100% recommend the Bacon & Cheese burger - ahhhhh. Anyway, I wore this eyeshadow as a sort of subtle smokey eye with some eyeshadows from the UD Naked Basics and I can happily report it lasted all evening. My MAC eyeshadow collection is rather small so if you have any shades that you love, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks for reading,

SLEEK LIPSTICK in BARELY THERE




SLEEK LIPSTICK - BARELY THERE £4.99

I picked this lipstick up a couple of weeks ago after hearing Kate Snooks rave about it on her youtube channel. The lipstick goes on so smoothly as it is very pigmented and creamy. As it is so moisturising it does tend to fade quite quickly, but reapplying is no problem and you could probably do it without a mirror. The shade is a peachy nude which sometimes can look a little brown on my skin, so I just pat it onto my lips and then blend with my finger as I think this gives a nice effect. I picked this up from Boots for £4.99 and only realised after I had left that they had started stocking Sleek haha! I can't wait to pick up more things from Sleek as I actually don't own many of their products.

Overall this lipstick is a perfect nude shade and I have been getting a lot of wear out of it. Do you like Sleek lipsticks?
