Current Favourites

Well this is a kinda monthly favorites/ current favourites as a few of them I haven't been using for a month.
My favourites for this month are; Sleek 'Life's a Peach' blusher, Collection 2000 shimmer shades, Maybelline Colour Tattoo 'On and On Bronze', Collection 2000 sheer loose powder, Garnier Roll-on concealer, Real Techniques contour brush, buffing brush (from the Core Collection) and the blush brush.
The Sleek blusher is one of my most recent purchases and it looks kinda bright in the pan but when its put on your cheek its such a soft colour and looks lovely on the skin. It's also a nice colour for the summer because I prefer more natural make-up or non at all in the summer months. I'd definately recommend this blusher to anyone. I've been using this with the Real Techniques  blush brush, I love this brush! It is so so so soft and puts the right amount on the cheek without it looking too cakey and like you've applied too much blusher.
The Collection 2000 shimmer shades palette I've been using for a highlight lately, it is such a pretty palette and swirling the brush around the whole palette gives your face a nice glow and I've been using the contour brush from Real Techniques as its just the right size and is great. 
Next is the Real Techniques buffing brush again I love this brush so much, its not just a current favourite it might be an ALL TIME favourite! It blends the Garnier Concealer in nicely, I've been liking this abit more this month because it doesn't feel as cakey as the Collection 2000 concealer does at times and gives nice coverage under the eyes too. I've also used it for the Collection 2000 powder, I've been using this as a 'foundation' just to have some kind of coverage on my face as I don't always wear liquid foundation only for nights out really. But the powder is so soft and feels really nice when your put it on your skin. 
Last but not least the Maybelline colour tattoo in 'on and on bronze', it lasts for most of the day when I've worn it and the colour is lovely. It can be blended out to make it look more natural but it can be built up and worn for a more smokey eye.
Other favourites of mine right now which aren't make-up related are; the single We are Young -
Fun. feat. Janelle Monáe. I absolutely love this song right now, think its the soundtrack to the summer for me, also their album I have downloaded and that is great too! Call My Name - Cheryl (Cole), another feel good summer song, it makes me want to dance about and its just so good. Another favourite right now is ASOS, I'm in love with the website and bought 4 dresses the other day which I'm currently waiting to be delivered. I'm also loving Made in Chelsea, yes I shouldn't but I do. I've always hated it and then I saw everyone talking about it on Twitter, watched it and now I'm obsessed (oh dear)!
I hope your all enjoying this lovely sunshine! I know I am, making the most of it and getting a head start on the tan for the summer without faking it. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'm spending tomorrow infront of the TV watching the League one playoff final Sheffield United v Huddersfield! COME ON YOU BLADES :)

Weekend Wishlist #005

River Island Ice Cream Shorts

Topshop Cropped Bleach Shirt

Loreal Lumi Magique Foundation and Concealer Pen

Sleek Blush by 3 in Lace

NARS Highlighting Blush - Albatross

Misguided Studded Shoes

Topshop Mint Bowling Bag

This is the first wishlist I have done in a while and it was difficult to cut it down to just a few items. I'm so proud of myself as I haven't bought that much in a while as I'm wanting to save money for my holiday in August! I've also been procrastinating with one university assignment so I've been looking around the internet alot aswell. 

How cute are the shorts? They would look so nice in the summer with a simple vest or a t-shirt in the evening. They'd look wonderful in Florida ;)

I love this shirt too by Topshop, the price is reasonable too for them so I might see what it looks like in person and maybe buy it!

I've seen this blush by Sleek everywhere on the internet, I want it so so so much! I need to check all my local Superdrugs to try and get my hands on it. I bought my first Sleek blush the other week and they are so nice and a good price too. 

NARS Albatross, I want to pop my NARS cherry sometime but I need to find the perfect product to spend my money on. I was thinking this but I'm also looking at Laguna Bronzer, Gina Blush and a couple of eyeshadows.

I've heard alot about the Loreal Foundation aswell but I've heard the shade range isn't that good. I always seem to buy foundations as I haven't found one that I am in love with yet on the highstreet, maybe this is the one? I also like a dewy/ medium coverage so I need to read into this abit more and maybe go and try it out.

Studded shoes are everywhere and have been done already but its summer time again now and I see they are back! I never got into the trend last time but I really like these Misguided ones. I love the website at the moment. Go and check it out.

I am in love with this bag. I love mint and I love the bag looking at it online. (how many times can you say love in a sentence). It would be so lovely for the summer, going to check in my local Topshop to see if hey have it and look at it size wise.

What do you think of my wishlist?

Review: Sleek Blush

Sleek Blush (£4.30) Superdrug

Another one of the items that I bought in my little Superdrug haul! 

I have always liked the Sleek products other than the Superdrug which I can get to the easiest is always sold out of the items I want, so I had a little look and saw that they had the blushes in.
I've  heard such good things about the blushes and thought I had to buy one. I originally wanted the new Sleek Blush by 3 palette which they didn't have :( 

I picked up 'Life's a Peach' which is a gorgeous pastel matte peach colour, I was immediately drawn to this blush as I thought it would look so pretty in the summer and I love peach colour!

When I swatched the blush I thought of wow, the colour looks quite bright in the palette but once I tried it the colour was subtle but really pretty at the same time. I can't wait to wear it.

I also love the packaging of the blush as they have the little mirror inside which is great for travelling or for touching up during the day if you have it in your make up bag. I love the simple, sleek black packaging aswell it makes the product look more expensive than it actually is.

There are so many other shades of the Sleek blushes I want, I'm into blushes right now and these are great quality, affordable and have a great range of shades available.

Do you have any Sleek blushes that you'd recommend?

Review: Sleek Au Naturale Palette

Sleek Au Naturale Palette (Superdrug) £6.50

I haven't tried any of the Sleek palettes before and had been trying to get my hands on this one for a long time and everytime I went to my local Superdrug they'd never had it in stock. Luckily I managed to pick one up and oh I love it so much. 

The colours ate all perfect for daytime and for night-time which is perfect, at first I wasn't too keen on the darker colours as I thought they may have been too pigmented but they are fine and can be easily blended to make them lighter and great for a smokey eye.

I did unfortunately find some of the lighter shades too chalky and felt they weren't very pigmented.

It is great value for money, the eyeshadows are easy to use and blendable. However it is a great palette, worth the money especially for the darker shades.

Do you own any other Sleek palettes or products that you would recommend?

I hope you've all had a great weekend
