Mini Make Up Haul

This past weekend I went out to Boots and Superdrug and got a few things, having recently had a birthday and been given some money it seemed to make sense. I only got a few things as I'm going to a MAC counter soon (and might have a look at Nars - bit more expensive though!) but I thought I'd share the products on my blog as I felt that they were actually very good quality.

Top: Sleek Eyeshadow Palette
Bottom: Collection Eyebrow Kit, Sleek Blush

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Palette (Au Naturel 601); Superdrug; £7.99; 12x1.1g

Having heard good things about the eyeshadow palettes from this brand I thought I'd pick up their neutrals palette as I do tend to opt for more neutral eyes for everyday make up.  I really love the colours in this palette (although I may avoid the yellow and the orange) and when I tried a few of the shades I was actually really impressed with the quality! While they do not match the quality of some eyeshadows - like MAC, for example - they are really good and 12 for £7.99 is such amazing value. They're very pigmented and they apply very easily and evenly. I would definitely repurchase and I'm considering getting another palette from Sleek. The foam brush isn't that great and wasn't really necessary in my opinion but overall I think it's the best palette you can get for less than £10.

Collection Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit; Boots; £3.99; 3x1g (powders) + 2ml (brow mascara)

When I was in Boots I picked up this little kit as I was in desperate need for something for my eyebrows as I really struggle with them (dark eyebrows on pale skin can be a tricky one!). I found that it was really good and worked very nicely for my eyebrows. I used the middle shade even though my eyebrows are probably closer in colour to the dark - makes me look a bit less crazed if I go for lighter colours! The little brush is super useful, especially the angled end and the Clear Brow Mascara helps it to stay on a bit longer which is always great.

Sleek MakeUP Blush (Rose Gold 926); Superdrug; £4.49; 8g

Again, a Sleek product. I was also very impressed with this blush - I'm surprised that I hadn't heard of Sleek until a few weeks ago! The packaging of both products was hard plastic that feels like it's really durable - it's never good when the packaging starts falling apart! This blush is reasonably pigmented and is just a lovely colour. The actual shade of the rosy pink looks fairly natural on my cheeks (may vary for others depending on skin tone) but there is also gold shimmer to it which adds an extra effect. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new blush that is great value for money. I'm definitely looking forward to using this blush quite a lot and I think it may become one of my go to blushes.

Hope you enjoyed this post and if you have any questions about the products just let me know in a comment!
