Sleeks 'The Original' Palette

I have two Sleek palettes which to be honest have probably only ever used a handful of times... I just havent really seen the color intensity like I've seen on other people... so I quite honestly gave up on them... I found them to be far too shimmery and not as easy to blend... however! I decided to give it one last try... because I am really liking the new palettes that have come out, and want to get them, but I want to make sure I can make the one I already have work for me... sooooo I used the original palette...

Out of the 12 colors I used 3 to achieve the below:

The colors do not have a name so I named them myself ...

PINK - for the main colour

OLIVE - for the outer half of the eye

BRONZE/BROWN - for the outer 'V' and crease

As you can see from the main pic, you cant really notice much of the Olive type green or the Bronze/Brown... but eitherway, I actually felt alot more satisfied with the look this time... to be honest the pictures dont do it much justice...

INEXPENSIVE NOSE STRIPS

REVITALE DEEPLY ABSORBENT NOSE STRIPS

I think by now my fellow readers/followers you may have guessed that I am not snobbish when it comes to cosmetics ( or atleast I hope you've all realized this ) so when I tell you that I found some really good nose strips at the 99p store (equivalent to the 99C store) it shouldnt really surprise you! lol

I usually go for Biore Nose Strips, they work wonders! I always say I will keep using them atleast once a week but yeah NEVER happens! ggrrrr so anyways, I was walking past the 99p store and remembered a few years back one of my besties saying how she had found some really good nose strips from there, so I went in and looked for some, and came across Revitale Deeply Absorbent Nose Strips (deep magnetic cleansing) these strips contain natural charcoal extract (yeah i know i was also like what! CHARCOAL?!) Witch Hazel, Tea Tree and Sylica.

It is recommended that you use no more than 1 strip a week, and since there are 6 strips in each pack, thats a lovely 6 weeks of deep cleansing...

why do I love nose strips??? Well I have quite a few open pores on my nose, which to be honest you cant really notice them, but hey I do some major face inspections in the mirror!! so I obviously notice all this crap lol .... nose strips pull out about 70% of the dirt that lays in the open pores, and help to tighten them too... whenever I peel off the strips, it looks like a colony! lmao ... aayyyy but anywhooo so my nose looks and feels better after each treatment... If you have never tried a nose strip, i highly recommend you try them out!! a lil secret between you and me... I've even used them on the hubby! :)

So, at 99p a box, again you just cant go wrong!! highly recommend these, and the Biore ones too... so take your pick, and give them a go!!

Barbara Daly Eyeshadow Pens

::BARBARA DALY EYESHADOW PENS::

A couple of months back, I stumbled through the Barbara Daly makeup stand at Tescos supermarket... I bought an liquid eyeshadow which is currently part of my daily makeup routine... so a few days ago I went back to see what else I could pick up and I came across 2 new products... the BD Eyeshadow Pens... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM...



SHIMMER SAND - a nice gold/pink shade
SHELL - more of a shimmery silver shade

They where both £4.75 comes in 3 shades, the shades that I purchased are SHELL & SHIMMER SAND ... they give a nice irridescent colour, which is buildable by adding a few extra layers.... super easy to use, and very well packaged... its a twist up creamy type pencil so glides on nicely without tugging at the skin... I use my fingers to blend the color in, but you can use a synthetic brush like the MAC 242 would also blend it nicely...

You really cant go wrong with these eyeshadow pens...
