Sleek Makeup Showstoppers Palette Look!

Hey guys! I have so many reviews for you guys but I'm still waiting to take the photos (hopefully will be done tomorrow) so for today I have another makeup look for you! My boyfriend's wonderful Mumma surprised me with a lovely gift when I came home from work the other day, the new Showstoppers palette from Sleek Makeup which is out in Superdrug in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.
So here's the look I've done, I hope you like!
Like all the colours from Sleek, they are beautifully pigmented and so easy to use! I love creating new looks with palette I haven't used before and I can see a lot of potential in this palette!
The colours in this palette all work so well together and there's a lovely mix of mattes, satins, glitters and frosts.
Colours from top left are: Paraguaya, Sunset, Me Myself & Eye, Bad Girl, Noir, Ultramattes V2
bottom left: Oh so special, Bohemian, Storm, Sparkle, Au Natural, Graphite.
I don't have all the palettes but I'm guessing that all the colours are there to represent past palettes? Some are obviously names whereas I don't know some of the others like Paraguaya or Bohemian.
To start my look I used my elf primer and NYX eye pencil in Milk and then went over my eye with Paraguaya as a base and a blending tool for my crease. Next I applied Bohemian all over my lid and into my crease as my colour base. Using Au Natural I went into the outer and very inner of my crease with a light pencil brush to create a shadow effect, which will make my eyes appear rounder by creating depth.
To darken the shadow and create further depth I used Storm in my outer crease and Me, Myself & Eye in the very centre of my eyelid.
In my inner corner I applied Sparkle and used Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in Purple.
My lashes are Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store and Mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara.
Under my eyes I applied Storm and blended it slightly with Bohemian to remove any harsh edges.
On my waterline is Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in Rockstar.
 
And that's the look! I hope you like it, I think I'm going to try and get another look out using this palette soon! Seeing these pictures again makes me remember how many ideas I had!
 
See you soon!

Urban Decay Electric Palette Look #2!

Hey guys,
I am having so much fun with the Urban Decay Electric Palette! I can't get over how pigmented and flawless the pigments are.
I know I've only just put a look out but it took me soo long to do I didn't want to wait around any longer for another!
I am so tempted to wear this look out tomorrow! It's crazy bright but it looks amazing - I can't believe how well the colours blend together!
In this look I have used Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, Urban and Chaos. So half the colours in the palette!
I started with ELF cosmetics primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base and Slowburn on my entire eyelid.
Next I applied Savage into my crease and blended out with Mac's Blanc Type, then darkened my crease using Jilted.
For a finishing touch I applied Aura from UD's Glinda Palette.
To my lashline I applied Chaos very closely to my lashes, to later darken Urban which went over the top, and blended out with blanc type - to create a type of gradient effect.
On my waterline is Rockstar 24/7 pencil from Urban Decay, and to create my wing I applied Perversion liquid liner.
...I think I'm a bit of an Urban Decay Junkie!
Lashes are the Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store and Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara.
So that's today's look, I hope you like it as much as I do! This is definitely a favourite of mine from recent months looks :)

Urban Decay Electric Palette Look!

Hey guys!
I'm sorry I've been gone for a while, I've had a lot of hours at work lately and it's completely tired me out! I've had this look in my back pocket for a while and I absolutely love it! I needed to put it up asap - I'm just annoyed asap took so long!
Anyway here's the look, a bit picture heavy! I hope you like it :)
As always I started with my Elf primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base.
To start my look, I applied Thrash over the inner two thirds of my eyelid. I cannot believe how pigmented this shadow was! I was expecting Thrash, Savage and Slowburn to be maybe a bit clear but the colour payoff is insane!
In the outer third and in my crease I applied gonzo which came out a stunning sky blue over NYX JEP in Milk, and sea blue over Thrash. In the very outer crease I use Fringe and a little Chaos.
On my brow bone I blended in Mac's Blanc Type with Gonzo to create a smoother finish and worked both shades of Aura from Urban Decay's The Great and Powerful Oz, Glinda Palette into my inner corner for a little bit of shimmer.
My eyeliner is Urban Decay's Perversion Liquid Liner and Lashes are the Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store.
Under my lower lashes I applied Slowburn which is a gorgeous, bright shimmery orange shade.
On my waterline is Eyeko Skinner Kohl Liner in a light pink shade which I am loving at the moment. I do love using black eyeliner but it can make your eyes look so much smaller sometimes. The payoff in Eyeko's liners are fantastic and definitely worth the price.
Mascara is Urban Decay's Supercurl Curling Mascara and that's the look done!
I hope you like this look guys, fingers crossed I will have something new for you soon!

Disney Series: Snow White!

Hellooo!
I have ANOTHER Disney look for you guys today! I did this one the same day as my Tinkerbell look, but I haven't been too sure about it... Snow White is a lot simpler so it made it a lot more difficult to do a look that I liked! After about 3 attempts I finally decided I liked this one, I hope you do too!
I won't over do it with info on this post, it's not one of my favourites that's for sure but it's still cute!
To prime my eyes I used ELF primer all over, NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk all over, and the yellow shade from Makeup Forever's Flash palette on my eyelid.
To set my yellow base, I used BAMM! from sleek makeup's V1 Mattes palette and also the top 2 yellow shades from Born Pretty Store's P88 Palette, to add a little shimmer.
To create the cut crease, I first went in with Chill from Sleek's V1 palette, and then with Bolt to darken.
To highlight I used POW from the same palette.
To create the eyeliner and the little snow white tear drop pattern, I used the Red from Makeup Forever's Flash palette - loving this palette right now!
For lashes, I used my Princess Lashes from Born Pretty Store (quite fitting!) and mascara is Urban Decay's SuperCurl Mascara.
On my waterline I used Stila Smudge Stick in Stingray, and that's the look! Very simple but soo hard to make it look right!
Hope you like my look and fingers crossed I'll have some more looks out soon :)

Disney Series: Tinkerbell - Peter Pan

Hey Guys!
It's been so long since I've done a Disney Inspired look I thought one was well overdue! I haven't played around much with my Flash Palette from Makeup Forever either so this was the perfect opportunity.
For this Disney inspired look I've chosen to recreate Tinkerbell! I wasn't a huge Tinks fan when I was a kid but she's definitely grown on my in recent years!
Hope you like my look!
This look was so fun to recreate! I love it when I get a clear image in my head of what I want something to look like - and the pixie dust topped it off perfectly! Definitely Tinks!
Now this isn't the 'original' Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, this little starlet has plenty of her own movies now!
To start this look I used ELF Primer and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk as my base. Next I applied BAMM! from Sleek Makeup's V1 Palette onto my eyelid and then applied the top two yellow shades from my P88 palette from the born pretty store over the inner two thirds of my eyelid to add some yellow shimmer.
I applied Adam's Apple from Sleek's Garden of Eden palette into my crease and blended upwards. To darken my crease, I used Cricket and Dragonfly from the V1 palette and finally Fern from the V2 palette right in the outer corner to really darken the greens and create a shadow effect.
To finish my eyeshadow I used POW! from V1 as my brow highlight and Cricket and Fern under my lower lash line.
Next is eyeliner... Very simple - It's the white from the Flash Palette! Soo creamy!
To apply my Bellapierre Gold Holographic Glitter I used the Bellapierre Clear Eyeliner Base which is my saviour! I'd be lost without it!
Finally I applied my Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara and a set of Eylure's #100 lashes.
Last but not least I created an ombre effect on my waterline using the white from Flash Palette and different shades of green eye shadows.
And that's the look! I hope you like my Tinkerbell recreation! I do have another Disney Inspired look ready to put up too! Might be my Friday post...

Sleek Snaphots Look #2

Hey guys!
I know I said I was going to do a look using Sleek's V2 palette, but I opened Snapshots and Sunset just looked so beautiful I couldn't resist it!
I hope you like my look!
It's so bright and fiery! This look really came alive in the photos - so summery!
To start this look I used my ELF primer and NYX JEP in Milk all over my eyes.
As a base for my eyelid and crease I used Washed Ashore, and then blended Sand Walker into my Crease.
Next, I applied Tequila Sunrise all over my eyelid, and used Sunset to define my outer corner and crease.
I went back over with Sand Walker and Washed Ashore to make sure it was well blended out!
In my inner corner I applied Martini, and Tequila Sunrise under my eyes.
My eyeliner is Urban Decay Perversion Liquid Liner, and on my lashline is Bourbon khol liner by Urban Decay.
Mascara is Urban Decay Super Curling Mascara and my eyelashes are of course Eylure #100's.
So that's my look! I hope you like it, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Inglot Eyeshadow Look

Hello guys! Sorry I've been gone so long! I've recently got a new job so I haven't had as much free time as I did before. I've got a few days off now though so hoping to get some more posts ready!
Every since I got my new Inglot shades, I've wanted to play around with them - finally I got the chance! I hope you like my look!
Inglot shade 369, the light blue, was so pigmented and easy to blend, a great surprise from such a pastel colour. Not at all chalky and pay off was fantastic, I will definitely be visiting Inglot sometime soon for some similar colours!
I've blended it with Highness and Villan in the very outer corner, from Sleek V2 Palette, and the pink is a shade from my P88 Palette from Born Pretty. Eyeliner is Control from Lush and currently my favourite liner! Such a beautiful colour and an easy way to add a pop of colour to your look when rushing your makeup!
In my inner corner I've added Inglot shade 24, which I am also loving. It has such a gorgeous shimmer which lasts all day. Under my eye I carried on shade 24 until the middle of my eye and blended it out into my outer corner using Ink from Sleek V2 Palette.
 
I didn't get as far as applying eyelashes until I RUINED this look with mascara all over my top lid -_- there was no coming back from the mistake I made...but it's still a lovely look, which I wore to work the next day!
I hope you like it, let me know what you think!
I'm thinking a new Sleek Palette Look next maybe? We'll see...
