Lancome - Colour fever 312 Pink in the limo lipstick review

This is a review of Lancome - Colour fever lipstick shade #312 Pink in the limo lipstick.

This was a GWP (gift with purchase) so the packaging of the lipstick is different to the retail version. This is a pearl pink with a satin finish, as you can see from the photo below it has glitter that gives light reflecting properties. The colour is very vibrant on the lips and the formula does not dry lips out.

 

 

• on lips it has light maximiser technology to reproduce a prism  effect.
• soft on lips
• does not dry lips out

 

A skin swatch very vibrant even with just one coat.

Sleek - Original 12 eye shadows palette/swatches and review

I cannot stress how these sleek eye shadows are sooooo good, inexpensive and value for money. A set of 12 shadows will set you back for £4.99, less then 50p a shadow. You can purchase the original palette from superdrugs http://www.superdrug.com/page/home.

Sleek make up is a UK brand they aim to create affordable makeup for all skin tones. You can find more info about them on their website http://www.sleekmakeup.com/.  The eyeshadows come in a nice black palette with the wording ‘sleek’ across the front and a decent size mirror to do your make up.

These shadows are mineral based and provide vibrant vivid colour, it is highly pigmented on its own, but I love to use an eye shadow primer to bring out the intensity. All 12 eye shadows are shimmery and I find the shadows easy to blend with one and another.

Below are swatches of the 12 colours in the palette and with my two favourite primers, Urban decay potion primer (UDPP) and too faced shadow insurance.

Urban decay potion primer and too faced shadow insurance can be purchased from www.boots.com

Urban Decay Book of Shadows vol.2 Swatches

I brought the Urban decay Book of shadows vol.2 last year, I finally took some time to swatch the colours. The book of shadows comes with 16 colours, 2 24/7 eye liners, the infamous potion primer and a booklet for visuals and ideas for make up application.

Lucky I didn’t buy the Alice in wonderland LE book of shadows some of the shadows are the same but renamed according to the story.

I think these shadows are superb a velvet texture with shimmer in the colours. Finely milled and brilliant colour pay off.  

 and here’s me playing with browns

Sleek Graphite Palette Swatches

This palette is full of greys, black and deep purple shadows. One of the shadows remind me of MAC’s Contrast, and i love the gun metal grey shades in this palette.
