On this is always sure: you can always count on Sleek to produce the goods.
I’m a lipstick love but I find quite the application rather tedious (read proper application – liner, brush, shaping, the whole thing!), so for everyday, I favour lip crayons that deliver good pigmentation and durability.
Enter Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayons, a brand new product launched on the 29 June, which delivers all that plus a stinging plump to the lips.
The Sleek Power Plum lip crayons comes in six mega wearable colours – red, pinks, coral, nudes: there’s something for everyone.
It’s super smooth with a sheen finish, delivers well in colour pigmentation and last well for the finish, fading evenly and not drying the lips.
Now, the plumping divided the audience. The sting operation is real and lasts. While I didn’t mind, Alice, my blonde in residence, testing pinks, wasn’t super comfortable with the sensation.
And at each application, it brings back the heat – it’s like you put chillies in your lips. Now, I cannot take spicy food for my life, and I was cool with it; the plumpy feeling is real!
The Sleek Power Plump lip crayons are brand new and just launched, late last month, in six colours, at £5.50 each. You can get them from the Sleek website or from Superdrug.
Seventeen is one of those brands I’ve been familiar with for a while, but never actually tried anything from.
Their Define & Conquer count our kit is super slim and fits well in any makeup bag. The highlighter is light and matte, which makes a huge change from all the powder highlighters I use, which have some shimmer in. It does work well to lift the highlighted points very subtly, which I really liked.
The kit also comes with an easy-to-follow, straight forward guide for application.
The Skin WOW! Concealer is clearly a dupe for the YSL Touché Eclat, and works in the same way, to highlight and conceal.
The formula is less rich than the more expensive cousin, and that reflects a bit on the pigmentation and overall effect, but means it blends easier.
I am a huge fan of face mists, there is no denying.
All squeezed into in a handy spray. The very fine mist lands lightly and feels amazing on the skin, delivering immediate comfort. It is fabulous over makeup, to freshen up, but even better directly on the skin.
A bit hard to believe but it is summer in the UK, but we’ll roll with it.
My favourite is the 
I also use it on my hands, which have the tell-tale calluses of aerial hoop, to make them more acceptable and make sure my dates do not recoil when I touch them. Sad times.
Sorry, I sleep alone so no issues there. Or I’d like to think so. Maybe that’s why I sleep alone!
The blister plaster lasts all day, very useful for new pumps that rub at the back.
Wait. Is that a nude-ish lipstick. Ok. You got me.
I feel nude-ish lipsticks are just easy to wear and uncomplicated. This might not be the “classic” nude, but we know the definition of nude is a bit skewed; it should be what comes close to your natural shade.
Discovering new brands is a huge perk of blogging and when you’ve been doing it for a while, it’s a bit rare to come across a brand you never even heard before.

Within is mosaic, a mix of golds, pinks and corals, that mixed create a beautiful flush and glow to the cheeks.
Makeup brushes make me happy. I have more than I could ever use and I still manage to go through a fair few.
Finally, the Forever Eye Crayon in Sorbet a shimmery beige leaning towards peach that also works wonders as a highlighter. On the brow bone and for me, it’s hero use, the Cupid bow to make those lips pop.
Mii is a salon brand, brought to the UK by Gerrard International, the same company behind the fab Jessica nail polish, which is also a professional brand.
Every season I can count on Sleek to bring my makeup up to date.
The iDivine eyeshadow palette in All the Fun in the Fair (£8.99) comes in deliciously pastel shades with a few neutral shades thrown in.
A new product pops in, which is very exciting. The Sweet Cheeks Blushers (£5.50 each) will give you a fresh flush of colour.
There are three shades: Likety Split (orange), Hullaballoo (violet) and Tomfoolery (berry). They might seem a bit out there, but they actually work very well.
Finally, the lipsticks. You know how much I love their 
Overall, a great addition to their expansive – and gorgeous collection.
Since the first time I had my eyebrows filled, I never looked back. It did feel a bit weird at the time, but soon, weird became not having them filled.
The tiny little tapered brush spreads the gel beautifully on the brows and its precision tip does a great job of shaping them; creating a fab lift and defined arch is easy-peasy.
Anyone who knows me in person will know I wear eyeshadow and eyeliner pretty much every day.
I’ll start with Urban Decay Naked 2. Now, I have 3 and Smokey, but they don’t quite measure up. The mix of earthy and gold tones, in shimmer and matte, are perfect for any occasion. Add a matte black and voilá: you cannot go wrong.
The 
Sleek has a couple that really work for me. The iDivine eyeshadow palette in ‘A New Day’ mixes beautiful golds and browns in shimmer and matte, as well as a bit of pinkish earthy tones, for an all-round look. The browns are dark enough for a lovely smokey that is not too heavy.

And they are all quite affordable, ranging from £6.99 (Makeup Revolution) to £38.50 (Naked 2).
Maybe I am overreacting with my title… it’s sort of out. Ish. Ok, ok. Should be out.
To top it off, it also has two types of hyaluronic acid, to deeply moisturise and help plump those fine lines.
