Sleek Make up Brow Kit






I have found my new favourite brow product and it isn't expensive too! At £8.99 from Boots (Sleek products are also available at Superdrug) The Sleek Make-up Brow Kit is amazing! It comes in 4 shades 'Light, Dark, Extra Dark and Black'. I have very dark brows and I use 818 Dark which is a great match.

Before this I use to use my Naked Palette to fill in my brows which worked fine but I wanted to try something new, I love Smashbox Brow Tech but I didn't want to pay out too much, so this really suited me.

The Sleek Make-up Brow Kit comes with a brow wax and setting powder plus tweezers, angle brush and setting brush. On the Boots website it has a step guide on how to use it:

'Step One:
Using the tweezers enclosed, clean up any stray hairs.
Step Two:
Apply the shaping wax with the angled brush following the natural shape of your brow to define the brows’ shape, pressing gently as you go to ensure you do not get hard lines, blending as you go.
Step Three:
Using the setting powder, apply using the same angled brush, filling in any sparse areas, blending the wax as you go to achieve picture perfect brows.'

When I use this I have to admit I don't really use the powder not because it isn't good but I just favour the wax as I prefer the look it gives and I apply it using the angled brush. I love that it comes with an angled brush because I don't know about you but I really struggle to find angle brushes! It stays brilliantly and is just as good as the Smashbox Brow Tech in my opinion but half the price! It is everything I need in a brow product!
Have any great Brow product recommendations?

Garnier Ultimate Blends Conditioner - The sleek restorer





I have come to the realisation that any bath/body/hair product with coconut in I LOVE. I think coconut has such an amazing smell which is weird because I hate coconut related food!

I only bought this because it had coconut in and the 'sleek restorer' part was just an added bonus to me.  I got this when it was only £1.50 too and this is such a good conditioner!


Garnier have 'carefully created' this blend with Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter. The Coconut Oil is 'India's original hair secret for smoothness' and Cocoa Butter from the Ivory Coast 'for it's nourishing virtues'.  This blend tames frizz and flyaways so hair looks smoothed and transformed.

Since using this my hair is alot smoother! I didn't think that was quite possible but it is! My hair looks so much healthier and smooth since using this and it smells so divine. This has to be my favourite conditioner at the moment though I have got my eye on the new Loreal nourishing shampoo and conditioner ;)  so this may change but it is a favourite.

If you have frizzy hair or want some added smoothness then give this a go! You can get this anyway from supermarkets, Boots, Superdrug, you are sure to find it!

Sleek Pink Sprint 366 Blush Palette



L-R Pink Parfait, Pink Ice, Pinktini


The other day I went shopping and spent lots and lots of money even though I have been trying to save it. I always find that if I stop myself from spending I just end up having one massive splurge at some point!

I was in Superdrug and was on the search for a new blusher/s as I have been wanting to get some new blushes for ages because I only use pretty much one, which is the No7 in Coral Flush .I do love my No7 but I wanted something new and different.

I bought the sleek palette because you get 3 different blushes all for £9.99 and I love the colours and shades they do. I though the Pink Sprint was a good choice for Autumn/Winter. These are all matte in this palette.

With my No7 blush I find I do have to layer to get a nice colour, so when I first used this I did not realise how pigmented it was and made myself look crazy! I was thankful for my Rimmel Powder that day!

You only need a little of this because its so pigmented and I love love love the colours and how well they look on the skin! Sleek has now made me want to get some of the other blusher palettes because I am so in love with this one lol! They last really well too and blend well.

This was a great purchase and the packaging is also fab!

Thumbs up for Sleek lol! What Sleek products have you tried?
