EOTD: Sleek Au Naturel

Hi guys, hope you're ok. I've had a really fun week this week. Yesterday I ended up doing a photoshoot in some woods, which was a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the pictures and I will definitely share them with you when I get them!

Anyway, tonight I'm going to college and doing 20s and 60s makeup looks on a couple of friends so that will be really fun. But that means this week my face won't be a canvas, so I got to put makeup on today!

Here's the look.





What I used:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Sleek Au Naturel Palette: Honeycomb (on the lid), Regal (in the crease)
Sleek Oh So Special Palette: Gift Basket (crease and lower lashline)
Sugarpill Lumi (inner corner)
Primark black gel eyeliner
Gosh Effect Powder in Steel mixed with Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy as a liquid eyeliner
Technic iDoll 360 mascara

Tropical Eyes

Today I was inspired by MacNC40's look, although I know I've done something almost identical before. I like this colour combo a lot though, and got complimented by the sales girls when I was out shopping twice! When I was out I also ended up buying 2 of the new Sleek lipsticks, which I will probably swatch and review soon, I really like them! Anyway, here's the pics:




Argh full face picture! You can see my crazy hair here. I'm actually getting rid of the red from it which I've been dying it for about 5 years or so now. I'm going for the ombre effect, but I think it needs a second go with the bleach. Let me know if you've tried it or if you want to know more about it :)

Products used:

Eyes:
UDPP
BFTE Seafoam (aqua) - lid
Sugarpill Poison Plum (purple) - crease & lower lashline
Sugarpill Dollipop (pink) - to blend out the crease
Sugarpill Tako (white) - inner corner
Sugarpill Buttercupcake (yellow) - over white on inner corner

Lips:
Bourjois Sweet Kiss Naturel in Rose Innocence
Jesse's Girl Liquid Crystal Lip gloss in Wicked

Cheeks:
Fyrinnae Glow Blush in Enchant

Review: Primark Shimmer Blush Pearls

Today I got these really pretty blusher pearls from Primark. They are so cute!




As you can see they are heart shaped shimmery pink pearls. They come in a jar with an applicator sponge, which I find a bit too rough to use. I find it easier to use a large powder brush and swirl it over the pearls. You don't get a lot of product however and it is very sheer. I think this could be better used as an all-over face powder rather than a blusher, even on my pale skin. The colour is along the same lines of Accessorize's Pretty Pink Blusher. Really nice as a highlight, not too shimmery or glittery, but gives a really pretty sheen.

Here it is swatched on my skin:
You might be able to tell how pale it is from this picture.

Overall: Lovely product used as a highlighter or all over 'glowy' powder, but too pale for blush for almost all skintones I would think.

Available from Primark, £2.50
