It rained today. Not autumn-ry weather at all. Praise God I was wearing boots when I went shopping today. My jacket smells like wet sheep! Anyhoo wanted to share today's haulage. It involves one of my two favorite highstreet brands...yeah you guessed it: Sleek and Barry M.
So I picked up:-
Sleek Sunset palette [permanent]
Sleek Pout polish in Chocolate Kiss
Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Mulberry
Barry M blush in Raspberry [Both a lot brighter in real life]
Barry M blush in Apricot
This palette is being rolled out at the moment with the new Sleek stands in some Superdrugs. So I suspect we will all get it at random times. But Sleek has said that it will be a permanent palette.
First impressions of the Sleek Sunset palette are good. I feel like Sleek might have changed the formula of these eyeshadows a little bit. They all feel a tad bit creamier. And that orange colour in there isn't like the one in Jewels palette that comes out as a horrid non-pigmented glittery mess. It actually looks like it could work very well indeed. Would have loved to have done a FOTD for y'all today but I just did not get the time. Very soon though.
The red eyeshadow in this palette I suspect will be the star of the show. It is gorgeous. I am trying to think if I have anything like it and at this present time my mind draws a blank however I do think I might find something in my stash somewhere.....I shall continue on blissfully ignorant!
The Pout polish is the pleasant surprise for me. I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting much but its turned out to be pretty awesome! It smells cocoa buttery and it goes on very smoothly. I've used it all evening and I think I'm going to have to get more.
Y'all know that my favorite lipstick by far is Sleeks Amethyst. However this new Sleek Mulberry lipstick is hot. A total killer for autumn and its cheap too. I thought it might be a good dupe for Night Violet from Style Black but this actually darker than that and has more of a brown tint to it that Night Violet. Swatches for you!!!
Mulberry on the left, Night Violet on the right.
Eh now about these
Barry M blushes. Hand on my heart I thought they were going to be a waste of my time. I have to confess I am *initially* rather impressed ! Better review to follow.
On the left is the Apricot one and on the right is Raspberry. I quite like the orange blush. There's something understated but very glowy about it. And the red one...well if I'm going for the flushed cheeks look this is it!
And that is all for now lovelies. I owe you guys a proper FOTD sometime soon. I know. I've been slacking. But I'll be wearing falsies in my next one just for you!!!
Stay blessed lovelies!
God loves you xxx

For a colour base I used the Mehron Pro-Pencil Jumbo super white pencil and it creased. Incredibly. The proof is below. ow sad. And I had UDPP underneath. How on earth does that happen? It's not like I used loads either. Round one was not good....
That Barry M Orange blush ain't bad people. However with my skin and oxidation and all that jazz it ends up looking more red on my skin than orange-y. It lasted a good amount of time. Still happy with it.
I was supposed to wear some lashes with this look but I chickened out at the last moment. I promise next time I will wear them!!!!
