Sleek Lipstick in Candy Cane

Hello Everyone !

Yes, finally a post ! I went on a little trip to Biarritz in the South West of France during my half-term break and then i got a little too carried away with work... But I am back and I have a pretty cool review for you... It's Sleek's True Color Lipstick in Candy Cane !

The lipstick's packaging is just so simple and that's what I love about it. It's super small too which can be really practical if you already have a lot of products in your make-up bag.

Claims: A superb highly-pigmented lipstick enriched with Vitamin E which leaves amazingly rich shades on the lips with only a single coat.

I remember there being a hype in June about Sleek's lispticks and I though "Hmm, I should give it a try." because everyone was talking about how pigmented and long-lasting these were. So I popped over at my local Superdrug and literally spent an hour choosing which color I would take. The choice of colors is amazing ! Sleek definitely sticks to their claims. The lipstick is highly-pigmented ( i think it is proven in my swatch because i barely even touched my hand to swatch that for the top one! ) . Although some of you might be afraid of this, rest assured you can always tone it down a little by using your fingers to apply it on your lips. This is one of the most long lasting lipsticks I have ever used ! It will just stay on your lips forever. Not even joking here. It's lasting powers are actually one of the negative points about this... It may be super long-lasting and all but it is the hardest lipstick to remove from your lips. After swatching this I took my shower and i was scrubbing the lipstick off my hand and it was still there. The color just went off a little but it was still there ! 12 hours later there still is product on the back of my hand ! Crazy innit ?! 

All in all, I still do really love this and Candy Cane is a perfect raspberry color which is "in" at the moment. I will definitely buy more of their lipsticks in the near future and I actually have my eye on a gorgeous red ! 

Sleek Makeup is available at Superdrug and there is an offer going on right now : 3 for 2 on all cosmetics ! So head over to your Superdrug and pick up some Sleek :) 

Have a great day ,

Update

Hi everyone !

How are you all doing ? I was just on Blogger checking on new blog posts and thought maybe i should update my readers... I've been rather absent from my blog for the last week or so and i am so sorry about it ! I escaped from all the London craziness for a week during my half-term break and I went to the lovely Biarritz. Sadly, I forgot to take my memory card for my camera and i was unable to take any pictures whatsoever ! How intelligent of me.

I'm just listening to some music while writing this post ( Up To The Mountain - Kelly Clarkson - this is an amazing song)... I have so many reviews to write I just need to find the time. I'm thinking of doing a Everyday make up what do you think ? OMG i just glanced at the time and it is so super late. I need to sleep !

Apologies for this rushed post and I will be back very soon girlies

Lots of Love ,

Laura

maybelline pure liquid mineral foundation

This was the first ever foundation I purchased after seeing one of my classmates use it in class. She convinced me it was the best foundation she had ever used and little naive me believed her.

At first I really liked this foundation but the more I use it the less I like it. If you are looking for a foundation that actually covers blemishes or spots ( that's what foundations are for right !? ), this is definitely not the foundation for you. I would describe this foundation as a second color on your skin but not much of a coverage. It looks cakey and to be honest it makes your skin look worst. I know it sounds really harsh but it really does make your skin look horrid. The only positive thing about this foundation is that it doesn't break you out. 

Hope this will help !

I was given a few perfumes this summer when I interned for Coty but this one is my favorite among them.

The bottle is pretty simple and there's nothing really extraordinary about it. The perfume itself though? I love.   Because I am so bad at describing scents I thought i'd just give you the description of the perfume : " The fragrance opens with notes of mandarin, pink pepper and pear. Its heart contains mimosa absolut, lily of the valley and sunflower. The base is composed of vanilla, tonka beans and Cosmone musk." This is probably one of the longest descriptions of a fragrance I have ever read. (LOL) This musky sort of scent is perfect for the winter time and every single time I wear this I get a nice comment and my friends ask me which perfume it is. It has definitely become one of my favorites! 

NOTD : metallic-y pink

When I was given Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength in Platinum I thought it would be one of my nail polishes that were going to be left untouched, instead I found a pretty cool way to use it !

 

From left to right : Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Platinum , Barry M Nail Paint in Strawberry Ice Cream , Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment Base and Top coat.

What I do is I put a layer of base coat followed by my "main" color. In this case, I used Barry M's Strawberry Ice Cream but you can use any color ! After having done that I let it dry and top it up with Platinum ! I just love the metallic-y look it gives. I know my nails are not exactly in their best condition in this picture :( Whoopsies.
