New Brand Alert in Ireland: Sleek Make-Up!


Yes girls, you heard right. I haven't heard many bloggers talk about the MAJOR FACT that Sleek make-up is available in Boots (seems to be selected ones!) Well, once I heard this news and picked my jaw up from the floor I dashed to Boots on my lunch break only to find everything was gone :-( You could imagine my disappointment. However, with some constant stalking of them make-up aisles I spotted the sales lady stocking up on the good stuff. So, I 'll tell you what I got and what me ol thoughts on the beauts are!




The above is the Face Kit I got in the shade 'Light', it really is unbelievably pigmented-all three. It blush shade is very similar in Nars Orgasm in colour but has more of a sheen on the skin than the Nars blush. Gorgeous though! Especially for this time of year. The highlighter is definitely, to me, on the cooler side with fine flecks of gold through it., a bit similar to  .A light hand is needed here girls, its too early for the snow-globe look ;-) The bronzer is insanely pigmented, so a little bit goes a long way chicks. Pick it up and tap it off if you feel that you've picked up too much. I think the bronzer leans more on the cooler side which is ok on me for the winter months but now it seems a bit off with the summer looks I go for most days! But overall I really like this pallet. It comes in Medium and a deeper shade for those with darker skin tones which  seem to be really pigmented also. Everyone wins!



The second thing I picked up is the blush pallet called " CALIFORNIA". These are cream blushes that I know, aren't for everyone, but try these girls- honestly! I love to use these with the Real Techniques Stippling Brush in case  I get blush happy and buff it out, it works! It gives a healthy rosy tint to the cheeks making the blush appear more natural in my opinion. The shade on the far left is my favourite and since I've worn it the I've gotten people asking me what shade is it. All three shades are gorgeous and are a cheaper option for cream-blush lovers or those wanted to try them out for the first time and don't need to go to the higher-end brands to try it.
LOVE.


To finish my obsession for blush I got the only one left after the poor lady was mobbed for stuff, in the shade 'Life's a Peach'. I'm not normally one for matte-like blushes, I love my shimmer but I though I'd break from my norm and try something new. This is the gem of the lot, and I didn't expect it to be! it's such a cute blush that doesn't come off orange in the skin but just adds a touch of peach to the cheeks- gorgeous! We can all thank Boots for bringing this much anticipated brand to Ireland :-D



The single blush I think was around 5.49 and the Blush and Face Trios were around the 12.00 euro mark, bargain for three chicks!!!
