SLEEK: A Little Obsessed

Image
Well, I know I have already done a review on some Sleek lipsticks but I just couldn't leave this one out, one of Sleek's finest.... Matte Me in Fandango Purple. This ultra smooth matte lip cream is a divine must-have!The color is a cross between purple and fuchsia. I have been using it for quite a while and get compliments nearly every time I wear it. It doesn't fade therefore there is little or no need to reapply during the day. It brightens pretty much any look. I really love the fact that it doesn't have any significant smell, it's nearly odorless,which is a plus. It's also very easy to apply because it comes with an applicator.I love love it!!

Revlon Colorstay Review

So I have decided to do a review of Revlon Colorstay foundation.  This foundation is certainly one of my most favorite foundations. The shade that best suits my tone is cappuccino. After applying  it to my  face this foundation literally disappears,blending with my natural tone.It totally covers all my blemishes without necessarily changing my skin tone. Revlon Colorstay foundation has a silky matte finish. If you  favour the matte look then this foundation is  the way to go. However, it's important to use a moisturizer before applying this foundation. This is to prevent the skin from drying out  and looking ashy.The foundation also stays on for several hours, they say up to 24 hours but truth is I haven't kept it on for that long! But every time I apply this foundation it stays on until I wash it off with soap. It does not rub off, it literally stays put until washed off with soap. I would recommend this foundation over and over again, but one has to ...

Wedding Makeup Dos...

Choosing the appropriate makeup for a wedding can be a daunting task, however with a few pointers one can easily have the perfect makeup for this special day!  .Rule #1 Make sure that you have a foundation that matches your skin tone.Wearing a foundation that is too light or too dark than your skin tone will make you look washed out and or ashy. .Rule #2 You need to keep everything subtle, ie subtle lipstick, subtle eye makeup, subtle blush,etc. You have to use a very light hand and shades that reflect light on the face to give a glowing blushing bride look.Sticking to nude/barely there tones is probably the  best way to go. In a nutshell, stay away from dark makeup.  .Rule #3 Keep the hair away from your face. It's your big day and you certainly want to look your very best therefore try and keep the hair as far away from the face as possible. This will definitely highlight your face and lovely makeup. Tying back the hair is also classy and ...

Sleek Lipstick Review

Image
Sleek lipsticks are my absolute favs! They are affordable and last long on the lips. I have tried stiletto, fuchsia, mulberry and cherry. All I can say is wow! Stiletto is matte but very moisturizing and looks great on most skin tones. Mulberry is really dark but also very flattering on both dark and light skin tones. It's great for a night out on the town! Cherry is good for both day and night and best for the sophisticated modern day woman.I wear it pretty much everyday:) Fuchsia is a cross between modest and high fashion haha...the distinction is very subtle and largely depends on how much you apply. I have used it on a bride on her big day and she looked amazing! I'm gonna try and get hold of the rest of these lipsticks because so far I am absolutely loving the ones I have tried :)
