Sleek Celestial Palette Look!

Hey guys!
I finally got around to doing a look using Sleek MakeUps's Celestial Palette, but then I noticed that my last 4 posts were all Sleek MakeUp looks so I've held this one back a few days!
I tried to do so many looks using just this palette but I think I was having a few off days. Finally I've done a look I'm happy with and it would have been perfect for Valentines, but nevermind! There's so many 'Valentine's Look' posts I didn't really want to join them so I stayed away! I hope you like my look...

Really I should have shot this look during the day, but I always seem to get inspiration at night - It was so shimmery and pretty it's a shame the camera didn't pick it up as well!

Anyway, here's my look! It's a shimmery, smoky pink/purple eye with subtle black liner and lashes.

The super sparkly palette! I love the matte/glitter combo shades, even though it does leave a bit of fall out they are so versatile! Great for adding colour into the crease, whereas shimmers are so forgiving.

L-R: (top row) Solar, Astral Blue, Aurora, Galactic, Earth Shine, Dark Matter

(bottom row) Stargaze, Saturn's Ring, Meteoric, Terrestrial, Lunar, Eclipse.

My favourite shades from this palette are Aurora - gorgeous teal green with glitter, and Meteoric - Matte deep pink/ terracotta shade.

My lease favourite, definitely Terrestrial. If the pigmentation was better it would be an amazing shade, because it's so different. But I guess that's why it's so hard to find! The pigment in pastel shades usually are lacking umph!

I started with Meteoric all over my lid and up into my crease, then darkened my crease using Saturn's Ring and Astral Blue. Next, I took Solar and packed it onto my lid, making it soo sparkly and gorgeous! I took Meteoric and Astral Blue onto my lower lash line also and Stargaze and Galactic in my inner corner to brighten the eye.

I darkened my crease for a more dramatic look using Earth Shine and used Dark Matter for my eyeliner.

My eyelashes are Eylure's #100, which I picked up in John Lewis for about £4! So cheap in there. Mascara as always is Mac Plush Lash and Benefit They're Real.

 

And that's the look! I hope you like it, and I can't wait to get some more looks going!

Sleek Garden of Eden Palette Look!

Hey Guys,
Sorry I've not posted in forever! So much going on in January, it was my birthday, then I went to the Isle of Wight to see my family, and since being back in Cambridge I've been job hunting which has got to be one of the most depressing things I've ever done! I'm applying for jobs I really don't want because I haven't heard back from the one I do want... I'm not good at this patience thing!
Anyway!
Just a quick post today to show you guys a look I create with the new Garden of Eden Palette from Sleek!
I've always loved their palettes and use them on a daily basis, so when a new one comes out you can bet I'm the first one in line to get it. So, here's my look...

I was struggling with my lighting at this stage so I've only got two photos, sorry! I now have new lighting and everything is back to normal, wohoo! I hate it when you do a look you like, but you can't capture it!

I found it hard to create a look using just this palette, I think my inspiration wondered off for a while but I'm hoping it's back now! I really want to get out some more looks!

 

Eyeshadows I used were:

Flora - in the crease and lower waterline

Forbidden - Blending out Flora

Gates of Eden - Eyelid

Entwined - over crease

Tree of Life - Eyeliner and under eye

Fauna + Fig - lower lash line

Eve's Kiss - inner corner

 

Primer

E.L.F eye primer

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

 

Mascara

MAC's Plush Lash

Benefit's Their Real

 

Eyelashes

Eylure #100

 

I hope you like my looks, I promise there's more to come!
