Sleek MakeUp: Acid Palette

In the mail I received my Sleek MakeUp Acid Palette and I'm pretty pumped! I had to order this palette from a UK based seller on eBay because Sleek cannot ship it to the USA due to FDA regulations. Bless you eBay <3 

The only bummer was the mirror in the palette came in broken but I'd rather the mirror be smashed up then the pressed shadows!







 The matte white in this palette was almost impossible to swatch. No matter if I attempted to apply with a brush or my finger it just wouldn't thicken up and remained very light/streaky. It was the only shadow I've been disappointed with out of the 3 palettes I have so far.

Most of the neon colors in this palette are matte and my camera could not handle how bright they are! The pictures were taken in natural lighting so you can only imagine how insane it would be with a flash. This is definitely a fun palette that will be great for making a statement.

Thanks for reading! XOXO

Sleek MakeUp: Sunset & Bad Girl Palettes

I've been checking out Sleek MakeUp online due to hearing nothing but positive reviews about their i-Divine palettes. Sleek MakeUp is based in the UK and labels themselves as a street brand, selling their products in drug stores across parts of Europe. Since I live in Massachusetts I'm thankful they also do international shipping ($13.50 S&H to USA).

They carry a wide range of products from 17 shades of Foundations, newly released Pout Paint (similar to OCC Lip Tars) & their popular i-Divine palettes ($10.00 & up). 

In my package received today I got the i-Divine Sunset & i-Divine Bad Girl palettes!

Both palettes retail at $10.00


i-Divine Sunset Palette




i-Divine Bad Girl Palette


OMG I am in LOVE with these palettes. They're nicely pigmented, go on great without primer (all swatches done w/o primer) and they are just beautiful! I'm not crazy about the waffling on the shadows but I can get over it. Not to mention if you travel alot these palettes are thin and light weight. Easy to store in your carry on.

Both palettes are exactly what I was hoping for! I love the Sunset palette for the summery/fall looks I can create with it and I am a sucker for smokey eyes so the Bad Girl palette is made just for that! I have 3 more Sleek i-Divine palettes in transit and will be posting pics/swatches ASAP! 

Thanks for reading! XOXO

Metal Orchestra FOTD

Lately my cosmetic collection has grown leaps & bounds so I tend to not use all of my stash regularly. I decided to dust off and start using my Kat Von D palettes to create some looks (they blend SO well) and I liked how my make up came out today.





Metal Orchestra $34.00

MOI Minerals FOTD

I've been rockin' a ton of MOI Minerals lately. I dig their colors and their blending potential. I was feeling very "berry" today so I wanted to rock some of MOI's beautiful purples & pinks. 

I'm wearing: Voluptuous, Black Raspberry, Pluto, Wicked & Shimmers & Pearls.

MOI Minerals FOTD

Lately I've been digging any and all Earth tone shadows so I decided to dip into my MOI Minerals stash and put a look together! I used the following minerals: Maria, Poison Ivy & the Till Death Do Us Part Collection (Zombie Groom & Zombie Bride).





Whew - bright flash! I'm half blind in this pic
I knew as soon as I saw it I would love the Till Death Do Us Part Collection and boy I was right. Both colors are phenomenal especially Zombie Bride which is a great highlight. I am pretty partial to green shadows. You can't go wrong for the price of $9.00 either.

I'll definitely be ordering more shadows from MOI Minerals & Cosmetics!

Beauty From The Earth: Swatches & Bed of Roses Mini Collection

The best sight of my day is that yellow bubble envelope with a hot pink label in my mailbox. Beauty From The Earth is my addiction. I've been a customer for almost a year now and I swear by their products. In this order I purchased the Indelible Gel Liner in Black Out, Medium Bronzer, and received my 5 free jars for my 365 Days of BFTE picks. The eye minerals I choose were: Titan, Hollywood Secrets, Meteor Shower, G Kelly & Blue Pacific.



Medium Bronzer, Titan, Hollywood Secrets, G Kelly, Meteor Shower & Blue Pacific
Titan, Hollywood Secrets, G Kelly, Meteor Shower & Blue Pacific
These eye mineral shades are awesome! My favorites: Hollywood Secrets & Meteor Shower. The glitter in Meteor Shower is pure rainbow disco and I love the deep purplish-black undertones in Hollywood Secrets.

Also in the package was the New & Limited Bed Of Roses Collection. The BOR Collection is a great deal at $18.00 for 3 full size jars and all three colors are only available in this set. 

Sugar Coated, Pricked & A La Rose
Trying out the Bed Of Roses Collection





A La Rose is my favorite out of this collection! It's absolutely beautiful! Please excuse my forehead 'winkles'. I was gifted with droopy eyelids (go genetics!). BOR Collection is a spiffy collection for a great price! So if you like pinks check it out!
