New Makeup alert! Sleek Makeup have launched a new collection and of course I've got my hands on it to review for you. Even better, you get to win some of it too. Keep reading, dear readers.

The Sleek Rockstars collection launched in store the other week and it is definitely something you'll lust after.  I attended the launch event and I've got the lustful lowdown for you all.

Consisting of an eyeshadow palette, a strobing souffle and a lipstick, it comes in two colourways. Diamond in the Rough, available online at Boots and Hidden Gems,  available online at Superdrug.

Both are metallic and gorgeous but I'd say one is more day/neutral and the other more festive and glamorous. Which one will you pick? Both? Why not.

Need A Candy Coloured Burberry Dupe? The NEW Sleek Whimsical Wonderland Collection



Contouring is not going away. Whether it's a beauty trend like strobing or something timeless like dewy skin, highlights and shadows will ALWAYS be a much loved beauty technique. 

Depending on what you're trying to do, there are a whole host of contour Kardashian style products available but what's best for the every day natural contour look?


New to stores this month is the Sleek Cream Contour Palette. What's new with that you might think? We've seen sculpt and glow palettes before, right? The trick, my friends, is all in the cream formula. OOOOOH CREAM FORMULA - the marmite of makeup. Some people love them, some people hate them

So last week I went to the launch of the new Sleek LIP VIP Lipsticks with some blogger pals. I'm a big lipstick fan, and my 2016 resolution is to actually start wearing more of the lip colours I own instead of sticking to my usual, trusted three lipsticks. (sound familiar anyone?)

New Beauty Launch! Sleek Lip VIP Lipstick Review & Swatches


In place of the normal "What I Wore To Work", today it's another "What I Wore To The Wedding" special! My gorgeous friends Jack & Olive got married last weekend and I was honoured to attend their beautiful celebrations. 

And what a wedding it was - I'm talking sweeping marble staircases, seven stunning bridesmaids, a performance by Burberry model Roo Panes and six REAL blossom trees brought into the church (I still haven't gotten over those) - I wouldn't expect any less from a Porter Magazine wedding!

So what did I wear?

What I Wore To The Wedding: Warehouse & Flowers

For the grand occasion that is PAY-DAY, I have been looking to splash out on some expensive, fine powder to accompany my pay day night out-out.. No, no City-boy references here, I'm clearly  talking about the high-inducing addiction which is a NARS Blush. 

But which shade? I had set my mind on the classic Orgasm blush- a dusky pink powder shot through with gold shimmer. Yes, come March 31st, I was going to buy it and cherish it forever! That is, until last weekend, when my plans changed..


I was shopping in Superdrug, buying nothing exciting, cotton pads, toner and the like. (seriously, I get through so much cotton, it's ridiculous) Naturally, like a moth to the beautiful, beautiful flame, I was drawn towards the makeup stands. 

Browsing the Sleek stand, I was shocked when I saw the Orgasm blush staring right back at me. Oh yes, dear Face Value Friends. I've think I've found a dupe...






This is the Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace. A beautiful, slimline compact with three finely milled blushes inside, these coral-pink shades are as beautiful on the skin as they are on the pan. Really high intensity colors, and a good mix of shimmer and matte shades.

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette - a NARS blush dupe?

I participated in my first blog swap this week and it is THE BEST decision I made this yeeeear (look, its been a long january okay..) 

For those that aren't familiar with a blog swap, basically you agree to buy a fellow blogger some products, and they send you something too! Kinda like a modern day pen-pal... a pen-pal who gives you presents.

COOL huh?

So my blogger-swap-pen-pal person was the lovely Beka Gough from Beka's Beauty. She sent me a lovely collection of Sleek makeup! 


Naturally, I was a bit concerned that I might just get a load of stuff I'll never use but BOOM! Beka, this collection is SPOT ON. As a big lash and lip fan, these were perfect for me.

I'll be swatching the eye-shadow palette this weekend, but for now - let's look at the lipstick!
