Sleek Makeup Review #2 ♥

Hey guys!

Merry Belated Christmas ;D
Today, I got my Sleek Makeup package as a Christmas gift! I ordered the Oh So Special Palette, Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink, and Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Pink Cadillac.

The first item is the Oh So Special Palette. It has a lot of really pretty colours, and I'm sure I will enjoy using this in the future. I feel that you can make two different looks with the palette, both dark and natural!

The next item is the Sleek Makeup Blush in Pixie Pink. It looks very cute and girly, not the most natural blush colour obviously, but I love it. It is soft, and matte and looks pretty on skin.

The last item is Sleek Makeup's Pout Polish in Pink Cadillac. I think this is a pretty good product considering that it's a tinted lip colour, and a lip moisturizing product with SPF 15 as well. It has a pretty natural pink colour, and is a little buildable. It's also pretty glossy, I'm not a big fan of glossy, but it's not that bad. 

SWATCHES:

OVERALL:

Sleek Makeup is affordable, with great quality. It is long lasting, and the package came in really quickly!

Review: MAC Bronzing Powder ♥

Heyy cupcakes!

Yeess, from now on I shall call all my lovely viewers a type of food! Anyways! I'm here with another review! This time on Mac's Bronzing Powder. I got this a couple of weeks ago, but only had the thought to do a review on it now. What I like about this bronzer is the great colour on my skin and it's matte-ness. I must say though, I am extremely disappointed on the packaging. The zebra box is acceptable, but the packaging of the brozner itself is horrible. If you were to give this bronzer to someone alone and say that it's from MAC, I highly doubt anyone would believe so. At least I wouldn't. The design of the bronzer is just so cheap looking in my opinion and does not look high end, or a product from MAC. It also isn't that all too high pigmented. In fact to be honest, I have seen much better bronzers work better than this one which just proves brand isn't always the best. Plus the price wasn't that pretty.

Like always, I will be doing an overall review on this lovely product! Let me know if you guys prefer reviews with specific categorizing (pros,cons..) or just a whole paragraph on what I think of the product!

PROS:
♥Matte, therefore giving a natural finish
♥Soft, pretty colour
♥Easy to use
♥Long lasting
♥Since it's not too highly pigminted, it is buildable. 

CONS:
♥Cheap packaging
♥Not so highly pigmented
♥Price not very affordable but reasonable for MAC
♥Not the best quality for a high end product 


TIPS:
♥Using a brush will give off a better finish
♥Do not pack on this bronzer unless you like the super, super sunken cheeks look


WHERE TO FIND THEM:
♥MAC, Makeup Stores

What you guys think of this bronzer? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Would you give it a try? Let me know in the comments below! :)

Room Organizing: Ikea Storage Boxes ♥

Hey girls!

As you may know, I've just moved a couple of days ago, therefore getting a new room with new furniture! My family and I went to visit Ikea last weekend. We bought me a new bed, a new dresser and other necessary items we needed for the house. That including these awesome Ikea Storage Boxes. This is actually my second time purchasing them!

MORE INFORMATION:
♥ They come in two different colours, White and Black.
♥There are three different sixes, one large, one small, and one long. In each pack comes six, two of each size. I shared this with my sister, so we both got three of each colour.

PROS:
♥They are great for putting stuff in such as: lotions, hair products, makeup products, nail polishes, and other things you don't have anywhere else to put them in.
♥They save space, and make it easier for you to find things.
♥They can be placed anywhere! Inside your drawer, in bookshelves, on top of desks, tables, night tables, anywhere you prefer.
♥The price is affordable!

CONS:
♥This item is only available in Ikea which some may not have access to.
♥The whites can get dirty/stained, so be careful what you place in them!

TIPS:
♥Put items that may possibly become dirty in the black boxes, and items that will not dirty on the white.
Example of things that may dirty: Makeup, Brushes, Nail Polish. Example of things that may not dirty: Hair products, Face products, Hair clips, Hair pins, etc.
♥If you don't like the look of too many things in your bedroom, putting them in your dresser will keep your bedroom looking clean and organized.

♥You may see them in the bedroom section. Where the beds, drawers are!

If you decide to buy these let me know. If you've already tried them, let me know how you like them!

Day 4: Your Favourite Foundation ♥

Hello guys!

So today's post is on my favorite foundation. This one was quite easy, it was my Makeup Forever HD Foundation. I absolutely am aware of so many other better foundations out there so therefor I am not calling this foundation the best among the rest, but more of something that is of my favorite right now, and is something I think is worth a try.

The foundation packaging is a pumping bottle which I like much better than open caps because I am able to pump the right amount I am needing for. In my opinion, I also don't think that it doesn't really have a yellow streak to it like most people are worried about, but even if it did it's absolutely alright for me since I do have a yellow undertone. It's also what it says to be, it is an HD foundation and great for photo shoots and looks great under the sunlight. I don't know about anyone else but I like my foundation exactly my colour but then again I like it to be a tad bit lighter than my skin colour, and this foundation does just that. It is great, I got it from Sephora and everyone should try this foundation!

Day 1: Your Favourite Eyeliner ♥

Alright, so today is Day 1 of my 30 Day Challenge. It was supposed to have started yesterday, but I did not have the camera with me, so therefor it begins today. The first challenge is my Favourite Eyeliner. I was a little stuck between two, but ended up picking my Clinique Gel Eyeliner in true black!

You can tell how much I love it. It's literally what I use for my everyday look, and pretty much anything. It's worn out and dirty, and if you'd see the inside there's only a little bit left. I needa buy my third one already! Personally, I think it's my favourite because it glides on easily, it's long lasting, and well it looks pretty. The only down side that I'd have to say is that probably after a couple of hours of moving, laughing, and all that, your eyeliner would've probably smudged a little. Other than that, I love this eyeliner at this moment, and would definitely recommend it. In case your wondering what my second favourite is, it's Stilla - Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner. It's actually a liquid eyeliner, and what I love about it is how easy it is to apply and wet it feels. It's almost like using a pen and drawing on your eyes. The downside about it is that it dries pretty easily, but it is waterproof and very long lasting and will not smudge. 

So that's pretty much it for Day 1! See you guys in Day 2 - Your Favourite Bag That You Own.

If you guys decide to try out these eyeliner, let me know what you think about it, also if you try out the 30 Day Challenge yourself, let me know I'd love to check it out.

Sleek Makeup Blush Review♥

Hello everyone!

Today's post is a review on Sleek Makeup Blushes. For those who don't know what Sleek Makeup is, it's a brand located in the UK. In UK, it is actually considered as a drugstore brand. If you were to compare as to what Sleek Makeup is here, it would be compared to NYX, Covergirl, Revlon, and so on and so forth. Although it is just a drugstore product/brand, it is also considered as one of the best drugstore brand, and a more classy one too.
Moving on, I got these blushes quite a while ago actually, but only decided to do a post about it now. The blushes I purchased are Flushed, Flamingo, and Pan-Tao.

FLUSHED:

Flushed is a reddish colour, that gives off a really natural blushing look when applied to your cheeks. It is also matte with no added glitters or shimmer.

FLAMINGO:

Flamingo is my favourite out of all the three. It's a cute, and kind of bright pink colour. It looks pretty natural, but more obvious that you have blush on. Even though, the colour is very cute, fun and pretty. 

PAN-TAO: 

Pan-Tao is a limited edition blush, meaning it's no longer being sold. I'm not sure if it will come back though. Pan-Tao is a  cute orange/peach blush, and looks great when applied on your cheeks. Although it's orange, it still looks nice and natural for whenever you wanna try something new.

ALL:

REVIEW:
---
PROS:

♥Highly pigminted 

♥Applies on great

♥Pretty colours, appear to be what is in the picture

♥Matte with no shimmer, and glitters, therefor giving it a natural look

♥Highly affordable

CONS:

♥Unless you live in the UK, online shopping might be a problem to others

♥Usually fades off after a couple of hours

OVERALL:

Overall, I think that everyone must absolutely try Sleek Makeup's products, especially the blushes. They are great, and comes in various colours. Not to mention, the price! For something so great, that works like any other high products out there, the price is a double steal! 

There is also another Sleek Makeup Eyeshadow Palette reviews coming soon!

Review: EOS Lipbalm ♥

Hey folks!

Today, I'll be reviewing EOS Lipbalm. Some of you may have, or have not heard of it, but from what I know, it's a pretty popular brand of lipbalms. I've seen a lot of Youtube gurus use it, and call it a fave, so I decided to try it for my own. My sister and I actually tried to find this here in Canada, although it says available we could only visit one store that was close to us and unfortunately did not have any. So when my sister went to Florida, we were sure there'd be some there since it's US. Fortunately there was. There were so many flavors we couldn't decide on just one, so she decided to buy almost all the flavours; four. She got me Summer fruit and Strawberry Sorbet. As for her, Sweet Mint and Lemon Drop. Of course, we felt bad for Honeysuckle Honeydew. It was the only one that she didn't buy (along with medicated tangerine), and I kinda wanted it as well. It has such a catchy name and I feel like it would've smelt good too. But it was a little too much, I mean the price wasn't the cheapest. So here's how they look like:

THE REVIEW

PACKAGING: The packaging is so cute and I love it! It's so round, small and so easy to carry around with you because it won't take up a lot of space in your makeup bag or purse. It also has a little indent on one of the sides which you can put your finger on it to help you open it better. I think the packaging and how the lip balm is positioned is what makes it stand out among all the other lip balms out there.

LIPBALM: I love love how the lip balm is positioned. Usually we'd get something that's inside and we'd have to scoop it with our fingers, which usually gets dirty and hard to scoop! Most of the time you won't even get the right amount on your fingers. As for EOS, it sticks out nicely so you can apply it on your lips like you're just applying lipstick. Love the idea!

QUALITY: As for the quality and how it works, I think it works pretty well. It smoothly glides onto your lips and it is 95% Organic and 100% Natural. Also not tested on animals and gluten free. Which I think for me is a big plus. It's main ingredient is also shea butter and jojoba oil for moist, smooth lips. As for my experience, it does kind of smoothen your lips, and makes it look much softer than before.

SMELL: As you know, EOS Lip balm comes in many different flavours. I've only opened Strawberry Sorbet and Summer Fruit. For Strawberry Sorbet, it was not what I expected. I am very disappointed. I was most excited to smell that specific one, because I was hoping it'd smell of something sweet like..well..a Strawberry Sorbet! In my opinion, it smells nothing like Strawberry, nor any kind of Sorbet. It smells like your normal usual one dollar lip balm that you buy off of Wal-Mart. A very bland smell. As for Summer Fruit, it smells just like as the title reads. It smells very fruity and fun, and I love it! It's probably the reason why it's so popular among the rest. It's not the best smell, but it is a very good one.

OVERALL: Overall, the EOS Lip balm is something worth of a try. It's fun to get and fun to use. It's very cute, handy and so convenient. I love it for myself! My overall score for this would be a 4 out of 5. If you try and buy EOS Lip balm for yourself, let me know in the comment section how it worked out for you!
