SLEEK - Au Natural Palette

Hi Everyone,

I got the new Sleek - Au Natural palette recently and thought I introduce it...

As with all Sleek products, this palette does not disappoint quality wise. It has a nice variety of neutral shades that range from a light off-white matte to an intensely matte black.
All shadows are, in my opinion, very creamy and soft with a really good pigmentation. This, at least for me, makes up the usual fallout you get with any Sleek eyeshadow. I don't know why they do it... they just do....

The only thing that I do dislike about this palette is that 8 of the shades are a matte finish and only 4 are velvety  shimmer. And I am a girl who likes shimmer in her shadows!!! But, I think it is a very good palette with gorgeous shades in it, which should not be missing as a staple in every make up collection.

Ok, so this is what the palette looks like:





Now to the actual shades:

From left to right (top row in the palette):

Nougat (matte), Nubuck (matte), Cappuccino (matte), Honeycomb (matte), Toast (matte) and Taupe (shimmer)


Bottom row from left to right:

Conker (shimmer), Moss (velvet), Bark (matte), Mineral Earth (shimmer), Regal (matte) and Noir (matte) 


If you haven't seen it yet, please also check out my video on you tube about this palette.


I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will be back soon. :-)

Love,
Linda XXX

Nailpolish of the Day: NYX Sheer Pink

Hi everyone,

My nailcolor for today, and to be honest for the last days as well :-) , is NYX's Sheer Pink.
I am soooooooo excited about this new nail varnish, I can't even tell!!! NYX is not being sold over the counter here in the UK yet, so, obviously, I was never able to find it anywhere else than on their website. However, I am a bit reluctant to order cosmetics online in general. The only place I like makeup-online-shopping is at ELF... But... last weekend I went to Britains Next Topmodel Live with a friend and NYX actually had a stand there. So, after happily chit-chatting to the lovely salesgirls I went through all the stuff they had and actually found a few products I am already loving. I will be introducing them all during the next few weeks!!!

Anyways, check out this colour first of all!!! Me loving it!!! :-))))




Love,
Linda XXXX
