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.

Sleek Makeup Beauty Launch & Giveaway! The ROCKSTARS Collection
Whether you like it or not, Christmas is coming. All the TV adverts are out, it's hats and gloves weather - I've even got a tree and negotiated with Mr FV the earliest date I can put it up (29 November - but I'd have it up now if it were up to me!)
With a whole range of Beauty Boxes available, it's really difficult to get the perfect one - there's always one product in the box that you're not keen on right? So why not make your own? I saw this great tip on Boots.com about making a personalised Beauty Box/Hamper and decided to give it a go.
Here are the instructions I followed. Watch my video on YouTube and see how I got on! Keep reading for details on how to win the box!
Stuck on what to get the beauty fan in your life? Here are some classics that always go down well...

VIDEO: Forget Beauty Boxes, Make Your Own Personalised Beauty Hamper!
So it's been a lucky week for me, not only did I win the biggest blogging gig of my life, I was also lucky enough to win a brand new (limited edition!) Urban Decay eyeshadow palette from London Beauty Queen. Cheers LBQ!
And it's not just any Naked basics palette though, it's the limited edition Pulp Fiction palette, beautifully inscribed with Pulp Fiction quotes and 90’s graphics.
Isn’t it BEAUTIFUL?! I only got it yesterday but I couldn't wait to crack it open and give it a go. Consider this post hot off the press!
Up Close & Personal
The Pulp Fiction palette is basically 5 eyeshadows - 3 general use shadows, a highlighter and a liner. Let’s just take a minute to truly appreciate how GOOD Urban Decay eyeshadows are. Butter soft and supremely blendable, Urban Decay eyeshadows are really long lasting and a joy to use!
It comes with a great double ended brush. Seriously! Normally palette and gift set brushes are just rubbish, but this one is one I’ll be using everytime.
It’s got a fluffy, yet dense, shadow brush on one end and a firmer, thinner, slightly pointed liner brush on the other.
This Urban Decay Pulp Fiction palette also comes with a little How-To for your Mia Wallace look. Essentially it’s a medium impact cut crease with darker winged corners. And it looks a little something like this…
How-to Honey Bunny?
I applied Righteous, the cream colour, all over the lid up to the brow bone, followed by the bronze shade, Tyranny, all over the lid up to the crease.
Next, the darkest brown, Vengance, goes in the corners and smudged into lower lashes. The Furious black liner was winged out using the liner brush damp. Finally the white Anger highlighter is applied under the brow and in the corners of eyes.
There’s more in the Pulp Fiction collection too! I've seen a glittery eyeliner, a Mia Wallace Revolution Lipstick and Lipliner by Urban Decay too! The Mia Wallace lipstick is a deep, wine red colour. Here I’ve used the Smashbox Longwear Lip Colour in Mulberry, which is a lovely plummy burgundy.
This Pulp Fiction look is super easy to recreate – just don’t forget to blend any hard edges with a small, fluffy brush! The blending brush by E.L.F cosmetics is great for this.
And there we go honey bunnies – a quick play with the Pulp Fiction palette by Urban Decay. For £17.50, I’d get it because it’s also a good travel palette for me. The browns can be used to contour and there’s a liner and highlighter too. It would have been perfect if it had come with a different texture in the box too – like another shimmer shade perhaps. I love a multi-tasking palette though!
What do you think? Is this one for your list?!
HAPPY WEEKEND! Hope it's a lucky one for you.

Modern-day Mia Wallace: Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Palette
In case you haven’t already guessed from my serious over-use of exclamation marks and capitals on my Facebook and Twitter feed last night, I won the YahooLifestyle competition to report from London Fashion Week. Yes, ME, at LFW. I can’t even begin to work out how I feel right now. SO MANY FEELINGS.
What's the gig? Little ole me is going to be in the middle of the glittering hive, reporting on camera for YahooLifestyle. WHAT IIIIIS THIS?! An awkward accountant like me gets a makeover and goes to LFW? I am genuinely living my own little Cinderella story right now.
In the middle of my shock though, comes the most important thing to say - a huge thank you to YOU. Whether you voted, liked, retweeted or even just wished me luck – every single ounce of support has made a difference and Is genuinely appreciated by me.
The blow-by-blow account.
I was waiting the whooooole day for an email to come in, madly pressing refresh on my phone emails to see if I’d got anything. By 2pm, I was determined that I hadn’t got it. By 4:30, I was planning my Indian takeaway & large bottle of Sauvignon Blanc to make me feel better/drown my sorrows.

It's PRESENT TIME! Those of you who caught my Instagram post earlier will have seen a glimpse of the awesome parcel I received courtesy of Dove. A fabulous 'welcome home!' selection of body beautiful oils and not-so-body beautiful macarons.
And the good news? There's some for you too!! Not the macarons, obvs - let's not be RIDICULOUS, I ate them all up within 20 minutes and now currently writing this on an AMAZING sUgAr high. But let's take a closer look at the NEW Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oils of which I have TEN to give away!
First up, and most importantly - you should know that these are EXCLUSIVE. They have not yet hit the stores - they're being rolled out from today onwards in Boots and Tesco but they won't be available nationwide until August!
Second-most important. WHAT IS THIS? Dear Face Value Friends, let me introduce you to the new Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oil!

PRODUCT LAUNCH & GIVEAWAY: Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oil
It's official - the temperature is slowly creeping up, the sun is coming back out from behind the clouds and the dull days of winter are getting longer and brighter. That's right my dear Face Value friends - Spring is here!!
And what do I associate with Spring? Nothing other than a full spring-clean and overhaul of course. Spring-clean my room, de-clutter my wardrobe and of course, seriously sort out my body.
And what do I associate with Spring? Nothing other than a full spring-clean and overhaul of course. Spring-clean my room, de-clutter my wardrobe and of course, seriously sort out my body.
The days of covering up under snug jumpers and warm woolens are over. My body is in serious need of a detox, de-fuzz, de-scale - basically, a full caterpillar-into-butterfly transformation. It's not going to be easy ..... or is it? Here's where NUXE steps in.
NUXE is a lovely French brand which combines the power of nature with luxury. (See what they did there?) I've been using their micellar water for a while now, and when the opportunity to win some of their products came up, I absolutely jumped at the chance.
