My makeup collection has been looking pretty down for quite a few months now and I could never justify spending the little money I had on new products. I now have suddenly aquired a lot of money and whilst in town I may have found myself in boots and purchased a few new products that I've been wanting for a while. I have a huge list of beauty products I dream of (all drugstore) and I decided to pick up a few of these.
I first picked up this lovely Sleek blush. I've wanted to get some Sleek into my collection for a whole now as so many people rave about it and I find it rather difficult to resist the cute packaging -this little blush is so dainty and delicate! The selection of colours in Boots wasn't particularly great and I didn't have much time to carefully chose one so I tested a couple and grabbed my favourite which was Life's A Peach
I'm super excited to try this out properly!
Next I also got a lipstick from Sleek, something I've been wanting for a whole as well. Again, the beautiful packaging was just too hard to resist! I tested a few and quickly got the one that I thought I would use the most which happend to be Barely There
Taking pictures of lipstick is always incredibly difficult and I can never get the true colour to come out on camera so I will try my best to describe it... It a really pretty nude/peach/pink, really subtle and girly which is why I was drawn to it. I'm sorry my descriptive techniques are not great so I suggest you go and try it in Boots or Superdrug instead if you really want to know what it's like.
The next item I added to my collection was another blush. This one is from Natural Collection and is in the colour Sweet Cheeks. It's quite a dark, "wintry" pink colour. The reason I describe it as being "wintry" is because it is quite a dark and I think darker blushes are best in winter whereas bright pinks and peaches are for spring and summer. I've had a Natural Collection blush before (about 2 years ago, haha) and I really liked it but never got round to repurchasing.
The final two products I got are from Rimmel. The first was this Natural Bronzer in the colour 022 Sunbronze. I don't have much to say about it, it's just a typical bronzer. It's good but not great but I haven't tried it properly yet and considering how cheap it is compared to some other bronzers it's pretty good.
Finally I got the product that pretty much every blogger/YouTuber beauty guru raves about... And that is the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I was a little reluctant to buy this as a lot of Rimmel products I've bought before have been really disappointing. I decided that as I desperately needed a new powder, this one would do because again, it was really cheap and everyone raves about it. Like everyone else, I absolutely love it! It is literally so perfect, it looks so natural and it is just a flawless product. I got the Transparent shade because I really could not be bothered to find the right colour for me (I'm so lazy and that is why I hate foundation shopping). I wasn't sure how it would turn out but it's actually really great and there's no problem with it being transparent.
That's it! I've actually had this post written for weeks but I've had so many problems trying so save it, sorry! Anyway, I guess I'm back and I'd like to stay back.
I'd love it if you guys would follow me on my blog Instagram which is

I've hardly posted on it (literally 1 post) but I'd like to start using it and make more of it but I have literally 0 followers.
I didnt know Boots sold Sleek, I love their blushers, Flamingo is my favourite xx
ReplyDeleteI think they only recently started selling Sleek because I had only seen it in Superdrug before but they are really good, I might have to try that shade :) xx
