Swatch and Review: Sleek Lip4 Mardi Gras


Because I have a deep and abiding need to have all the purple cosmetics in the world, I picked up the Sleek 4 lipstick palette in Mardi Gras. This is a limited edition, online only palette that can be purchased from Sleek's shop for £8.99. I mainly wanted it for the really stunning-looking electric purple shade.

Review and Swatch: Addictive Cosmetics Part 2

Sorry it took so long for me to post the second part of this review. I had a computer apocalypse and it took far longer to get everything sorted again due to losing some files. All apologies!

Click here if you haven't seen Part One of this review.

As you'll know from the first part of this review, along with six eye shadows, I also purchased one eyeliner in the colour Mermadia. This colour is just gorgeous, a metal turquoise shot through with multifaceted sparkles.

Review and Swatch: Addictive Cosmetics Part 1

A few weeks ago, I ordered a bunch of stuff from Addictive Cosmetics on Etsy. I placed my order on a Tuesday and exactly a week later, I had the parcel in my hands, which is just ridiculously fast for shipping from U.S. to the U.K. Seriously, Amber, the owner of Addictive Cosmetics, must have posted it the same day I ordered it. Also, before I finalised my order, I had a quick question. Within fifteen minutes, Amber had already replied.

Look: Storm Clouds with Sugarpill Velocity, Soot & Stars, and Tiara

I've been trying to make video tutorials for Youtube. The problem is that I'm a very anxious person and a perfectionist. So, I've recorded four-ish videos now that are never, ever going to be uploaded. I'm telling myself it's a learning process and for every mistake I make, that's one I won't have to make again. I hope. 

For one of those ill-fated videos, I decided to do a smoked-out blue and silver eye using Sugarpill Velocity, Soot & Stars, and Tiara. I don't wear blue shadows very often because I feel that it might be a little too much blue with my hair. However, I really like the way this turned out and the effect it gives because of my hair.
