Sleek Face Form review

My favourite face product is currently the Face Form from Sleek. I own the shade light, there are 4 shades from fair to dark.

The palette is £9.99, it has solid packaging and big mirror. The blush is pigmented and has gold shimmers running throughout it looks natural and gives the skin a sun kissed appearance. The highlighter again has gold shimmers throughout. I have owned two of these palettes (one I dropped and the blusher smashed) the first palette the highlighter was a lot more pigmented and applied quite strong. With this palette the highlighter is less pigmented but still applies as well on the skin giving a more subtle glow. Finally the main draw to the palette the bronzer, the bronzer is matte, smooth and pigmented. It applies evenly and can be used in the contours of the face as it isn’t orange, but it can also be used to give the face some warmth. Overall I think this palette is a really good buy, individually each powder is nice in colour and texture and the three work as a nice combination on the face. The price is good and is all you need for the face.

Glowing crazy

I am obsessed with highlighters, anything that glows or is sparkly I like it. So thankfully more drug store brands have been coming out with highlighters. The first on I have is quite new to Rimmel – Good to Glow in the colour 001 Notting Hill Glow

The product is pink toned and has a pearly finish. It does have some specks of glitter but it is very easy to blend so it is less in your face on the skin. It can be worn on top of foundation can be blended into foundation to sheer out the product and give healthy and summery look to the skin. It is quite similar to Nars highlighter Copacabana although I have tested that in shops and it seems to be a chunkier highlighter also it £23 whereas the Good to Glow highlighter is £4.99. Also they give you a lot of product and a very little goes a long way! The product is available in 2 other colours getting darker in colour.

The other highlighter I have is from Sleek it is the highlighting palette in Precious Metals, there are 4 colours, two of which are quite wearable the other two are very intense and glittery highlights which I like but might be too much if you like a subtle glow.

The colours are called platinum, royal gold, renaissance gold and antique bronze. Antique bronze is a powder glittery bronzer which works well on the cheeks and forehead, the colour renaissance gold is the most wearable shade as it doesn’t have big glitter particles, it works nicely on the bridge of the nose and on the top of the cheek bones. Royal Gold is the most over the top shade and has a lot of glitter, I like it for the top of my cheeks if I am going out at night otherwise it isn’t the most subtle. The white shade is only works for the inner corner highlight as it is white and pearly and is very pigmented. The 3 cream shades blend and set well and the power shade blends well. It is £9.99 and comes with a brush which was the worst part about the product as whole, all the products work well blended with your fingers. I like the packaging as it fits with the precious metals look and is sturdy it also has a good sized mirror.

Hope this was helpful! Thank you for reading

Sleek lip product review + lip swatches

A few months ago, I received a birthday present from my friend Phoebe – thank you ever so much! As a fan of orange toned lip products the gift was perfect and shows the great quality of sleek products. The gift in question was the Sleek MakeUp Lip 4 Lipstick in the shade siren The first red colour is the most intense, all the colours apply with ridiculous pigmentation a little goes a VERY long way!

This after one coat, it is bold and almost glossy but if blotted creates a nice matte, intense stain. It is a very glam colour and does require a lip brush to apply as with most red lipsticks it is very annoying having to tidy up a red lip that has smeared across your foundation! This is the easiest to apply, it glides over dry patches and sits on the lips comfortably. It doesn’t dry and collect in fine lines and remains very intense for a long time. It is worth the £8.99 just for this red.

The bright orange is a surprisingly wearable shade for everyday. It brightens up the face and sits nicely on the lips it is long lasting and can be made more intense. It dries matte but doesn’t dry out the lips. The product does sometime need a bit of warming up first otherwise application at first, this is the same for every shade except for the red.

This shade is my least favourite partly because I don’t get along with nude lip shade. This shade sits the heaviest on the lips and if your lips are dry will emphasise it but if you apply a balm underneath or a gloss over the top it is very long lasting and is a fun lip colour for experimenting with 60s makes up looks.

The pink shade is almost identical to the orange shade with how it sits and lasts on the lips. It is a fun pop of colour that will suit many skin tones and adds a nice burst of colour taking your make up look into the spring.

Overall it is a great quality palette wit fun shades which last on the lips. The shades will never get old and you won’t be hitting pan on any of them anytime soon as they are so incredibly pigmented! Sleek have a whole range of colour isn’t your thing I highly recommend browsing and swatching some of their other lip quads.
