Sleek Californ.I.A and Pink Lemonade Blush by 3 Palette.

The brand new shades of Sleek Make up Blush by 3 in Californ.I.A and Pink Lemonade. 

Californ.I.A is inspired by the sun, sand and surf of Californian beach life.

Pink Lemonade is the traditional, old fashioned English tea party with three decadent pinks.

Expected for release in store & online on 15th January 2014, I think they look really pretty, but like the Sweet cheeks palette it looks to contain two powders and one Cream blush, I'm not a fan of mixing powders and creams for obvious reasons but I also don't get on with cream blushes they just never look right?! 

Will you be rushing to buy these?

With autumn-coloured flowery packaging and a range of A/W shades – from pearlescent purples to bronzed taupes.

What's your favourite eye palette?

Wedding Make up...... Eyeshadows

I personally think the 'no make up' natural make up looks gorgeous on a bride, using neutral shades that complement the skin tone as the only thing that should get the guests talking is your DRESS! Not your blue kohl eye & neon pink lip.... Here are a Few of my  favourite Neutral palettes.

Stila In the Light Eye Shadow Palette is a beautiful collection of Stila's award-winning eye shadows in wearable, neutral shades for every skintone that can be worn wet or dry.The palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel, a matte chocolate brown. £25.00

They also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte. £36.00 each

Wht's your favourite shadow or palette?

Sleek lip Palette in Ballet & Siren.

Sleek Lip 4 is a colour rich lipstick quad with different formulations including matte, gloss and satin finishes to create a variety of looks. 6 palettes in the set to suit all skin colours and tones. It also comes in a Handy travel size component with lip brush and mirror included

This palette has four nude shades: Tutu is a light peachy nude with a glossy finish. Plié is a brownish pink nude with satin finish. Swan Lake is matte that feels powdery on my lips. The formula is dry. Pirouette is a cool toned pink nude with satin finish.

 All shades in this resemble concealer or dead lips! In my opinion. Except Pirouette! This is a pretty shade. However they dried out my lips badly especially the Matte & looked streaky, I’m not impressed with this palette & would not recommend!!

Kiss Me is a satin orange toned red. Miss Me  is a matte pale orange shade. Desire Me is a matte coral red very  pigmented. Love Me is a glossy pinky orange.  They are all pretty shades & great for Summer but they do have a tendency to melt really quickly, so be careful if it's a hot day!

I’m am impressed with this palette as the colours are more pigmented and for only £5.99 you can’t go wrong.  I love how there is a selection of different textures and finishes in the palette and I love the colour variety available from a Nudes to bright pinks to deep plums. 

I have had a good & a bad experience with these, but it hasn't put me off trying the other shades in this range, I love that you have a little compact with 4 different shades, perfect for travel. I also love the brand Sleek & own nearly all their Blushes as the quality is amazing.

Have you tried these palettes, which would you recommend?

Sleek Blush By 3 Palettes - My Collection

I was so glad when Sleek decided to release these palettes as they are great for a night away or holiday as you can take just one palette and get 3 different day & night looks.

There are a couple of shades that are quite similar to the single blush shades, but that doesn't really bother me as it means i don't have to take that one separately, I think Lace is my favourite as the shades are so pretty & i love coral blushes.

Here are the 3 palette's, I have Lace, Sugar & Pumpkin.

Lace. - Crochet - Is a matte Orange toned peach, Guipure - Is a Peachy pink with gold shimmer, Chantilly - Is a matte reddish peach shade.

               

                               

Sugar. - Turbinado - Is a matte red/brown shade, Muscovado - Is a shimmery reddened bronze shade with a touch of plum. Demerara - Is a matte deep red with a browny/terracotta shade.

                                                            

Pumpkin. - Lantern - is a shimmering coral-orange, Squash - is a bright semi matte pink, P Pie - is a pure matte orange.
