Failed Sleek Haul

It's been a while since I splurged on makeup and we all want to make our money go far, so when I (very gleefully) found myself in the makeup aisles of Superdrug last Sunday, I made a beeline for the Sleek Makeup display. I've always wanted to try out Sleek's complexion products as it's an affordable line that does NOT test on animals. I grabbed two of the Luminaire concealer pens and an Eau La La lip liner - and I'm very annoyed to say that they were all major fails.

Shout Out 'Cuz I Love You

I cannot BELIEVE I had this blush chilling in the back of my drawer for TWO YEARS before I finally started to use it.

Bright Lilac Lips

From the first episode of Project Runway All Stars season 3, Elena Slivnyak marches through the streets of New York City to meet her fellow designers and begin the competition wearing bright, pinky-lilac lipstick.

Mascaras I'm Currently Using - 12

I'm back to trying out mascaras I've loved in the past to see if they really stand the test of time. Here's what I think of them a couple of years down the line..

Current Daily Makeup Look

For the past week or so I have pretty much been reaching for the exact same products every day when usually I get SO bored and want to change it up drastically from a bright lip to intense cheeks to smokey eyes one day after another. 

Empties I Would NOT Repurchase

This post compliments my previous "Empties I Would Repurchase" blogpost (linked HERE).

Not all of these products failed me, some of them worked just fine but didn't wow me enough to outshine others I had tried before.

What's On My Nails?

I was fed up with having brittle, peeling nails so I marched over to Boots and dished out the almost £19 for the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener for Sensitive & Peeling Nails. 

June 2013 Empties !!

More empties! It is oh so therapeutic to throw out a box of used up products when new ones are continuously inching their way into my life! Here's my two cents on these babies:

Weekend Away Makeup Essentials

I was in the lovely city of Canterbury this weekend and wouldn't have made it through beauty-wise without these staples!
