I recently got to try out a new to me make up brand, Sleek MakeUP and I had to share as I am truly impressed by the products. The packaging is very fitting to their name, it is very sleek. I love the high end look with the drugstore pricing!
These products have all been so great for fall and winter looks. I’ve been using them a ton!
First off is this gorgeous eye shadow palette. I’m not one for color on my lids but I actually am loving to change things up. I use the neutrals all over the lid and then put the color close to my shadow line to treat it like a liner. The palette is only $11.99 and worth every penny and more!
These cream to powder blushes are so pretty and they go on so smoothly. You just use your fingertips to apply and it blends so well.
I’ve been such a lipstick girl lately and these lipsticks are a go-to. So creamy and applies easily. The colors are all gorgeous on and I love, love the matte formula as it’s not drying at all and stays on for hours.
True Colour Lipstick $7.49
These new products are all about the highlighter/shimmer which I usually leave for the summer but I am having fun with it. The Barekissed Illuminator is a bit much on it’s own but mixed with my foundation it livens up my skin. And although I have been more about the matte lips lately, I am a girl who can never resist a little hot pink glitter so of course I love this lipgloss!
Barekissed Illuminator $13.49 // Glitter Me Lipgloss $7.49
This is a great neutrals eyeshadow palette but because it’s all so shimmery I usually use this in combination with the other palette to create a more day to day look for me. I never knew how much I needed this many shades of gold until I had this palette! It just goes so well with any other eyeshadow you want to pair it with.
Gold Standard Eyeshadow Palette $11.49
This highlighter palette is pretty amazing. I love the different textures of the cream and the powder and the different shades. You can use the cream to make a bit more of highlight on the inner corners of your eyes and on the tops of the cheeks. They recommend the powder highlighters to use on your body like your shoulders and arms which is a great idea for holiday parties and such.
Solstice Highlighting Palette $14.99
You can buy all their products on their website or at Amazon. Here’s a few of the ones I mentioned above and a few more that I am wanting to try out!
I passed by this Revlon display for their new polish called “Moon Candy” and I loved the creme polish with the glitter, except this isn’t regular small pieces of glitter, more like flakes of glitter! I brought two home and they are gorgeous and so different than all my other polishes. I love the effect.
I didn’t get a chance to take pics of my nails before they chipped so they look terrible right now but as you can see from the pictures from The PolishAholic, the glitter is a bit piece-y but it looks so great in the natural light as the colors reflect differently.
Absolutely loving this “liquid lipstick” from NYX. The lip creams go on like lipstick but very creamy and last for a really long time! $12 for all 3, you can’t beat that! (Nordstrom Rack is now selling NYX if you guys didn’t know. I know for me it’s hard to come by in our drugstores so I was glad to see it at Nordstrom Rack.)
Laura Mercier Creme Cheek Color and Lip Stain is a staple in my every day routine. Just the right colors, I have the Cheek color in Praline and the Lip Stain in Shy Pink and are perfect for the “I’m wearing make up but not” kind of days.
For awhile now I’ve use the Anastasia brow powder for my eyebrows but recently discovered the TouchBack Brow Marker and it’s awesome! It totally blends in and is a bit easier in application than powder. I never thought I’d use a “marker” for my brows but they totally fill in my sparse brows and looks really natural.
It comes in lots of different colors to perfectly match your brows.
I don’t really use lip liners as I usually just slap on a lipstick or lip gloss and be done with it, however the Smashbox Nude Lip Liner completely changed my mind about needing a lip liner. It really is a “nude” to match your lip color and once I apply it, it doesn’t change the color of my lipstick or lip gloss but it does help the color stay a lot longer.
I posted on my instagram a pic of my accessories and lippies and I just had to tell you how obsessed I am with this Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Gilded Veil. It’s the perfect color for the holiday season and looks amazing layered over other colors.
It’s part of Laura Mercier’s Limited Edition Art Deco Muse collection.
I’m also really loving the Graphic Liquid Eye Liner. I’ve been using it almost every day since I got it. The liner goes on really thick so you have to be really careful with the application. I’ve been dotting it on my eyelid and then smudging it to create a thin smooth line. What I love best though, is that the staying power is awesome. It lasts through the entire day and does not smudge at all. Once it’s on, it’s on!
And just a closer look at the mascara brush. I love how full it is, it really covers every lash and brings out every your smallest lashes. With a gentle touch, you can use it on your bottom lashes as well and it doesn’t smudge.
