Review: Kate Moss lasting perfection lipsticks.

Hello everyone,
 I haven't done a review in forever, not since this one in fact, so I thought it was high time I did! This post is going to be on some of my favourite lipsticks :) 

As you can see, I have three shades, and I bet you can guess which one I've had the longest! 

I love these lipsticks, for a start, I'm quite partial to a bit of Mossy (although I do think models are just clothes hangers I might add) so I think its fab that she developed the shades.  Also the formulation is spot on, quite matte but not intensely drying and they last hours. They also smell amazing, just like those cherry sweets! 


20.  110.  01.
I bought the two shades on the right about a week ago, so have been even more smitten with these lipsticks than ever! One thing that does annoy me is that they don't have names, I just love it when products are called something cute like `pink punch`, is that just me? 

Anyway! The pinkest colour is shade 20;


How pretty is it! I adore this colour, it's so vibrant but still really wearable (i've got it on now!) and I think this is the perfect summer lippie. It also reminds me of the blogger favourite `Candy yum yum` from MAC although perhaps not quite as neon. You can see me wearing this in an outfit post here :).

The other one I bought recently was 110; 


I don't really have any coral lipsticks so this was readily welcomed into my collection. It's just so lovely ! A lot more effortless that 20 I feel, and the best if you want attention to be more on your eyes. I think this would look so lovely with a simple white dress, tan sandals and gold eye makeup.

Lastly is the first one I bought from this range, the aptly numbered 01; 


This is one of my favorite reds, its that classic 50's,  vintage colour and I just love it. I'm forever pairing it with my winged liner to really get that look! 

These lipsticks are only £5.49 which is a total steal for the finish and wear time, I also bought mine in the recent `buy one get one half price` deal in Boots , so even more of a bargain! Next on my wish list are 107  and 103 :)

Have you tried these Lipsticks? What's your favourite shade?

Review: Sleek blush palette.

I thought for my first beauty review, I would talk about something that I seriously love; my Sleek Blush By 3 palette.
I have the Lace combination, which includes three shades; Crochet, Guipre and Chantilly.

 
(in order above) 
Chantilly- This shade  is a beautiful warm orange , it can look slighly daunting in the pan, but is a dream once applied. I think it looks gorgeous with gold toned eye make up.

Guipure- This is definately my favourite colour out of the three; it is a wonderfully rich dusky rose with flecks of gold running through it, need I say more?!

Crochet- Finnaly, Crochet is a bright corally pink, which is great if you are trying to create that china doll look.


What sleek say:
"The blush by "3" palette has been formulated with intense pigments yet the shades can be layered in oreder to achieve the required intensity. "

I totally agree with the point on intense pigments; if you are too heavy-handed you can end up looking slightly like a clown! Although saying that these blushers do make for a gorgeous pop of colour on the cheeks, which still looks natural, and they are perfect for creating a subtle flush aswell on days when you perhaps want the focus on another aspect of your make up. 

I also love the packaging of this product, its simple but very effective.




I love the matte casing witht the shiny lettering :) The packaging is also really sturdy and means the blushers last fantastically; I have drops this beaut many times, but it's still going strong. I also find it doesnt get two mucky, which often ruins the apperance of makeup items. I have had this little set since October and havent even made a dent in it, so I really can see it lasting me forever :)

Do you have this palette or any other sleek blushers?

Alice
