Lesley on Sleeeeek

After seeing many fantastic reviews on Sleek Makeup over the past week, i really wanted to purchase one of their 'Pout Paints'. They come in 11 different shades, including a blue and white for mixing up different your own shades: so it was hard to decide which one i wanted to get. I swatched a few of them on my hand (wiping if off quickly with a baby wipe, but note to self, even after 5 hours and many hand washes later i can STILL see a faint outline from one of them) I finally decided on bright Pinkini.

Pinkini is a really bright barbie pink. I would not call it a lipgloss but more but more of a matte lipstick. I wore it around the shops after purchasing it as a road test and noticed how dry my lips were, so i need to wear lip with it. Also, i am really not accumstomed to wearing a really bright colour so i am going to mix it with a neutral lip gloss first and then gradually try and wear it on its own. You need to use a very small amount too, and probably a lip brush is best to apply it with as it is quite messy to apply with fingers, as well as staining quite quickly. What i love about it is the lipgloss comes out from a thin tube, so you really can apply a tiny tiny bit if necessary.

bright as the sun lol

bit blurry... but still bright!!

Verdict: I really like this product and will try out more of their lip glosses in the near future. However, I'm not sure if I'm completely fussed over the blue and white mixing paint pouts. Who's really going to have time to mix a colour every time, especially on a night out? Also, how unique can you really get one colour to be? Surely every colour is out there... it is just my opinion though as i am SO lazy. The only thing i would have to fault about this product is that it is so drying to the lips.

Sophia's Leopard print nails!

I saw this style on the WAH nails site ages ago and have been loving it ever since. Some people think it looks tacky but i love it. It's fun and i promise it's easy to do. All you need is your base colour, the colours you want for the dots, a cocktail stick or dotting tool (makes it easier) and a nail art pen or black liquid eyeliner. simple

Im going to use my boyfriends nail to show you how to do achieve this look because ive already painted my nails. So just incase you think i have man hands, its not me lol. All nail polish is Models Own in the post.

all products from Models Own

So my boyfriend chose (well...i made him choose lol) Feeling Blue for the base and i chose Jade Stone, Pastel Pink and Lemon Meringue for the blobs.

random blobs!

After your base coat has dried a bit you simple blob dots onto the colour. They dont have to perfect round dots. They can diferent shapes and sizes. Just go for it. You can either get a newspaper/old plate and put a big drop onto it and dip the dotting tool/cocktail stick in or i just undo the the polish and dip the tool onto the brush. I find Models Own drys fast, so leaving a dollop on paper/plate makes it go stringy.

dotty

When your finished wth the dotting tool your nails will look something like the picture on the left. Now the leopard bit. Wait til the dots are almost dry or tacky otherwise they will smudge or drag. Take your nail art pen or liquid eyeliner and draw around the blobs doing thin semi circles. You dont need to go all the way around. Again dont worry about it being neat. My WAH nails pen has gone watery (boo!) so thats the why the middle blob is thick. If you think you dont have enough leopard dots you can do random semi circles and squiggles/dots just on the base colour. Easy!!

Done!!

Ta-da!! If you used a liquid eyeliner always use a top coat otherwise it will wash right off. I love wearing this on my toes and like decorating my friends toes with this design. Its easy and fun...&maybe a bit tacky ;)

Lesley on GOSH

GOSH multicolour Blush in 51 Bronze Pie £7.99 (normally £8.50) - 8g

While browsing in Superdrug i came across this product from GOSH and kept going back to it, i think i sampled it at least 5 times! GOSH is a Danish company, established for over 25 years. They have a range of unique makeup, and the price range is not that bad either, ranging from around £7 - £15. Ive never purchased GOSH before, and after my disappointment with Benefit's "Sugarbomb," i needed something as a replacement. I like that it has four different shades, although i admit i thought it was three at first because two are a subtle sheen! I would say it is definitely more of a bronzer than a blush. I don't think i will wear this during the day as it is quite shimmery.

You can buy it online from Superdrug HERE.

The colours are so pretty! I love the colour pay off of the deep gold the most (left) while the others add a pretty shimmer

Below i packed it on with my Kabuki brush to show you all the colours combined and how pigmented and shimmery it is, as it doesn't do justice on my hand - i really do love it!

  

Lesley on Browzings

I did a spot of shopping today and noticed that Debenhams were having a 10% off all their makeup. Cha ching! I have been waiting for AGES for their 10% off so i can get my Benefit You Rebel tinted moisturiser, as mine is now running dangerously low and i refuse to pay the full price. So as well as You Rebel i decided to ditch my Elf eyebrow kit and buy the Daddy of them all... Browzings! My friends rave so much about it so i cannot wait to try it out properly! It comes in three different shades: light, medium and dark. I opted for the dark as my eyebrows look almost black.

It is very compact and comes with a mirror, blending brush, tweezers and angled brush, although i have just ordered a Benefit angled brush and still waiting for it to arrive. Browzings even come with little instructions!

Wax 1.7g and powder 2.6g - but you only need to "dab" a bit on the brush each time

The wax is so good! I can see a difference in my eyebrows straight away, but because they are quite thick i still have to put Benefit's Speed Brow to set them at the end, otherwise a few tend to drop. The powder is quite good too, and i love the blending brush! Last night i went out so took the effort to slowly fill them in, and i was impressed with myself for doing quite a good job (so was Sophia!) Although it is normally £22.50, i think it is really worth the money as this is going to last me for years.

Debhenhams are having a 10% off makeup, you can buy Browzings for £20.25 HERE

(i do not know how long this offer is going to last)
