Sleek Makeup Review + Swatches

Sleek Makeup is an AMAAAZZINGG Makeup Brand!
The Colours for the blush, eyeshadow, lipsticks, and etc... are highly pigmented. I heard alot about Sleek Makeup so I wanted to try them as well and I fell in LOVE with them. =)

I purchased the following:

True Color Lipsticks
Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette
i-Divine Primer Palette
Pout Paints
Blushes

True Color Lipstick

The packaging is great but the lipsticks are just a bit smaller compared to the other ones.

I purchsed two matte colors, and one sheen colour. I chose the colors really randomly because this is my first time trying the brand but I was amazed with the outcome. The matte lipstick tends to dry a bit on your lips but arent all matte lipsticks like that?

Anyways I love the colour and the finishes.

Oh So Special + i-Divine Primer Palette

The packaging here was great too. One of my palettes actually fell on the floor but everything was safe inside and that's how you know the packaging is great.

I was originnaly going to pick the Au Naturel Palette but then I thought this palette seemed way better than the Au Naturel Palette because it has almost the similar shades and bonus theres pinks too :P I'm a huge fan of the color PINK.<3

The eyeshadows were really smooth, they weren't chalky at all. Some are shimmery and some are matte which is great because you have two different finishes to choose from.

On top are the swatches without the base and on the bottom with the base.

The I-Divine Primer Palette is really creamy. I was amazed with this palette because at first I thought it wouldn't be that great but it turned out to be awesome. The colours are definitely pigmented.

On top are the swatches without the base and on the bottom with the base.

Pout Paints

The Pout Paints are just like the Obssesive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar's. I own a lip tar and I can tell you they are just like the pout paints but I what I like about the pout paints is the tube style. Its easy to get a tiny bit of product without getting a whole lot which would be a waste. All you need is just a teeennyyy tiny amount.

Blush

 The packaging for the blushes are just like the palette. Also the Packaging here reminds me of the NARS packaging except NARS has a rubbery kind of packaging.

I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOOOVEE WITH THESE BLUSHES. The rose gold is a dupe of NARS orgasm. Other than that these blushes are smooth and highly pigmented so you just need a little bit on your cheeks because you dont want to look like clown. =P

I went to Crown Brushes first, and got about 11 brushes then I went to NYX, and got alota things from foundations to lipsticks to blushes and so on. NYX had a HUGE line, we had to wait for almost an hour to pay which sucked =[ but it was worth it lol. :P When I was done with NYX I went to.....

I went to Royal & Langnickel, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC), Nigel Beauty Emporium, and Eye Kandy. =D All in all, IMATS WAS THE BOMB! :)

Sephora Beauty Haul

I went to sephora about 2 weeks ago I think, and rushed to their sale section :P and saw amazing things on sale. Few things that were on sale was Kat Von D, Sephora products, Tarina Tarantino, and etc... :D. I purchased few things on sale from the store and 2 things that were on sale online.

The first thing I got was the Sephora Mineral Loose Powder Foundation. This was something I had to get for my comsetic class. I don't know the original prices for these but they were on sale for about 3$ CAD and the price is JAW DROPPING :O so I got all three colours they had. The pigmentation is amazing as you can see above, they go on really really smooth and the coverage is great.

The sephora liplgoss in citron is pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of it but the smell, and the appllication is great. Its NOT yellow when you apply it on, it goes on sheer and has glitter in it as you can see above.

KAT VON D is the freaking BOMB. I got two lipglosses that retailed for about 7$ CAD and originally they retail for about $18-$20. THE PRICE IS AMAZING. These glosses go on soo nicely, they smell GREAT, I love how both of them have glitter in it. My favourtie out of these two would be Retox because it isn't really transparent you can see a bit of colour if you apply it on a few times.

Another lipgloss that I LOVEEE is Victorian Punk by Tarina Tarantino. This is the only product I currently own by Tarina Tarantino. Its kindaaaa sticky but not ALOT. It goes on great, it doesn't actually look purple on your lips unless you SLAP on a whole lot. The lipgloss is sheer when you apply one coat. (Above - I applied a whole lot just so you can see the colour). This was on sale for about $7 CAD.

LASHES are MUST HAVES. Sephora has BEAUTIFUL lashes on sale. I got my hands on the Glam lashes and the Glitter lashes. They were on sale for about $5 CAD. The GLITTER lashes are GORGEOUS. I LOVEEE GLITTERR!!!

The DUO Eyelash Adhesive (White/Clear) was NOT on sale. I got this for about $10 CAD. I heard alot of good things about this product so I had to get it.

The LAST thing I got was the NARS single eyeshadows. NARS is the BEST. I got my hands on the online sale. They were on sale for $10 CAD each and the original price for the single eyeshadows are $23. Both the eyeshadows are amazing. The pigmentation is awesome, and the application is really smooth. My favourite out of these two would be California because I think this would make an amazing crease colour.
