Hi everyone! I made this look inspired by the MAC Give Me Liberty of London collection. I took some eyeshadows I already had that I find are similar to the actual eyeshadows in the collection and used those instead - well except for Birds and Berries eyeshadow which I purchased. I tried to use all 5 eyeshadows in one look, so this is quite a colourful one. I hope you enjoy it! ♥



Here's the bunch of eyeshadows I compiled ~

Yogurt and Satellite Dreams are from the permanent line. Dear Cupcake (LE) is from the Sugarsweet collection. Grey Range is from the Photo Realism quad in the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection. Birds and Berries is from the Give Me Liberty of London collection.

For this look, I used:

MAC Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral base)
MAC eyeshadows in Yogurt (brow highlight), Grey Range (outer crease), Satellite Dreams (inner crease), Dear Cupcake (lid), Birds and Berries (lower lashline)

Hi everyone! I know some blogs already have their swatches and reviews of the Sleek Bohemian palette, but I just wanted to share my own two cents! Keep reading for my short review and swatches ♥

It's the first time Sleek has come up with an eyeshadow palette in white packaging. Although it looks quite refreshing and different from the others, it also reminds me of those cheap watercolour sets people used to buy me as a kid. To be honest, I prefer the black packaging.

The palette comes with 12 eyeshadows. The colours are beautiful and vibrant. Some are shimmery, like the top left two, but most are matte finishes. I'm in love with the topmost left one! As far as I can tell, the eyeshadows are pretty good quality. As with the other palettes, this is such a steal for about £5!

The Sleek Bohemian palette is a limited edition one, and can be found at Superdrug. But I believe Sleek now has a site that also provides international shipping? If that's correct, you ladies outside the UK should definitely try this out!! ♥

What do you think? xx

Sleek Bohemian Eyeshadow Palette

This is a super-late upload of a post I made a few weeks ago! I hope its not too late though :)

As I mentioned in one of my posts earlier, I was really underwhelmed by the MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection, while I loved the Too Fabulous collection, released the same day. Too Fabulous unleashed beautiful mineralized blushes, lip liners and lipglosses, and while Spring Colour Forecast released colours I felt I've seen before. When I first saw Spring Colour Forecast, I swatched the eyeshadows and blushes, and didn't bother with the lip products. I went back to the MAC store a week later, curious about the lip products this time as I missed them previously. Of the lip products, only Bubblegum and Fresh Salmon stood out to me. And when I tried on Fresh Salmon on my lips, I was in-love! The MA's complimented me on my lip choice and told me that they only had 1 tube left of Fresh Salmon, so I took it! The MA suggested I try Mouth Off lip pencil as well. At first I was skeptical, as I didn't feel as though I needed a lip pencil for this one. When I tried it on however, I was surprised the difference it made to the whole look so I took that as well!

Corals are in this season, and I'm happy I've found an amazing coral combo! Keep reading for more photos, reviews and swatches! ♥

Fresh Salmon lipstick is a medium-toned coral colour, with a gold sheen. It's a lustre finish so its moisturising on the lips and the colour is buildable. It is from the MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection.

Mouth Off lip pencil is a bright coral colour that's perfect for coral lipsticks. It is one of the new lip pencils from Too Fabulous, which are pigmented and soft to apply! I just love this one. ♥
