All the way from the UK.....Sleek Make-up Haul

Some of my favourite beauty bloggers and vloggers are from the UK. Every time I read or watch a 'high-street' haul, I longingly wish to have access to these exclusive products. Luckily, there are several ways to order these drugstore deals (though, I wish I could take a trip to London and have a Boot's shopping spree!) Two of the main things I wanted to try were the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation and Sleek's colour cosmetics. This post is going to focus on the products I ordered from the Sleek website.
I ordered three palettes from Sleek : the Blush by 3 palette in the shade Lace, the Face Countor Kit in Light, and the i-Divine eye shadow palette in Storm. It was an amazing price and shipping to the US was less than $3. Pictures and swatches to follow & Spoiler Alert: They are all worth the hype.

Blush by 3 

Lace

I definitely wanted to try out some of their blushes and figured the blush by 3 palette would be a good way to try a few out. This palette contains three blush shades, two matte and one shimmer. All are super pigmented and soft. Chantilly is a bold, matte, peachy orange. Guipure is a shimmery peachy-pink (think Nars Orgasm). Crochet is another bold matte shade in a reddish pink. 

Crazy bright. I'll admit I haven't worn Chantilly or Crochet yet. NYC hasn't been having the most summery of weather, and these shades scream summer to me. I would apply these with a duo-fiber brush for a light application. Beautiful consistency and pigmentation.  This blush palette is available on the Sleek website and retails for $12.49.

Face Contour Kit

Light

This little palette was what I actually needed from this haul. I have been more interested in contouring, but it has been difficult to find the right shade and finish to look natural. This kit has many great reviews, so I thought I would try it out! The palette comes with a matte contouring shade and a shimmery highlight.

The colours both have great pigmentation while still looking natural. I apply the contour colour with the Real Techniques contour brush from the Core Collection and the highlight shade with the Real Techniques duo-fiber contour brush. I find using these products together make it very easy to give dimension to your face without looking like you tried. The only downside I have found is that they aren't the most long-wearing shades. By the time I get home at the end of the day, the effects of the contouring are about gone. The palette is compact enough to bring in your purse, as well as features a large mirror, so maybe I should just stop being lazy and reapply. The Face Contour Kit is available here and retails for $8.49. It also comes in Light, Medium, and Dark shades.

i-Divine

Storm

I hear so much about these eyeshadow palettes (and this shade in particular) that I had to order it, even though I definitely don't need any more eyeshadow. The palette comes with 12 shadows, three matte, 9 metallic. The consistency is amazing, super creamy and pigmented. This particular palette, Storm, has a great mix of neutrals and jewel tones.

This palette is truly gorgeous, and I am excited to utilize the darker jewel-tone shades. The finish is an amazing metallic, and the mattes are very good quality. These shades are long-wearing with a primer (I always use a primer, so I can't attest to use without one). An amazing palette for only $9.99, available here. I have already added several other shades to my wishlist (Showstopper and Oh So Special have caught my eye.)

Overall, I am so happy to have added these palettes to my collection! It can be difficult to decide to order make-up blind, so I hope this has helped if you were thinking of trying out this brand with only the option to order online. The price for quality is great, and I already have a wishlist going for some other colours and products! Though, it's great knowing I can order from their website with inexpensive shipping and relatively fast delivery....I still want that trip to London. :]
