Sleek Divine eyeshadow palette in Oh So Special 658 - Review


Sleek is fast becoming one of my favourite make up brands, the products just seem to stand out in their gorgeous chic black packaging and the quality for the price is amazing!!


When I saw this eyeshadow palette I couldn't help but purchase it, I am a big fan of neutral colours, and also enjoy a brown smoky eye, perfect!!!

From left to right:
Top:- Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate
Bottom:- Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up, Noir

As you can see the colours are pigmented well and the variation of matte and shimmery colours means you could go from day to night to dramatic in a matter of seconds!! Swatches for you below :)


Overall it's a great buy, for those who like to stay neutral and those who love to be dramatic, there really is a shade for everyone !
Available from Superdrug for £6.49, go get yours now !!

Have you ever tried any of the Sleek eyeshadow palettes?

MUA Bare (Shade 14) lipstick review + OOTD


So MUA is one of my personal favourites for cheap make-up that has quality!
When I saw they had a new shade along with giving their lipsticks names and not just numbers (which is great) I couldn't resist, especially with it being called Bare, and I love love love nude shades recently.

The coverage of this lipstick isn't the best after one coat, but after a couple of coats it really shows the amazing shade it can reach and would be a perfect shade for most skin tones.



The smell of the product isn't unpleasant but it doesn't really smell of anything familiar either.
Overall I am rather taken with this product, I tend to wear it often within the daytime and can see myself having to purchase another in a few months time considering it's only £1 I feel I can use it as often as I wish !

The lasting power of this lipstick is also good, as a slightly matte finishing product it gives around 3 hours coverage before needing to be reapplied !!
Personally, I would recommend everyone to get this beauty :)
What do you think?


In terms of my outfit today, it was nothing special, I decided to be a tad gothic and went for all black!!
Sorry for the blurriness, my camera seems to not have a stability mode, or maybe I just can't find it? ahhaha
Hope you like my comedy moustache ring !!

It's all about half-moon nails and knee-high socks

Hello there !

So I've been a busy bee, I've had 3 essays to complete, a book to read (The Castle of Otranto, if you were wondering) and revision to do for my exam on Monday!


However, there is ALWAYS time to paint my nails, as nails are my favourite thing ever, I can't remember the last time they actually didn't have nail polish on them!!

I recently watched a couple of tutorials on half-moon nails which I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to do ever since I saw them on the WAH nails site, and I gave it a go but don't have the right equipment yet, gonna get it this week when I'm back in Liverpool, and then I'll maybe do a tutorial if any of you are interested? Let me know!

Anywayy, I had to use nail tip markers instead of hole reinforcements, and this is the result I got !

Are we lovin'??
I used Barry M Raspberry and Foil Effects in Gold.


I also have been browsing blogs, and was inspired by 'Native Fox' and her use of knee-high socks, so when I was in Tesco the other day I decided to try them out for myself and bought some !

This is my OOTD trying to incorporate them !!
P.s. I am very much aware one sock is higher than the other, hahaha silly me !


  • Cardigan, Marks & Spencers
  • Top, Topshop
  • Shorts, Levi Strauss (from eBay)
  • Knee-high socks, Tesco
  • Gold studded suede boots, Dorothy Perkins
  • Necklace, Asos
  • Ring, New Look
  • Bag, New Look (by the drawers)
Gorgeous ring I bought from New Look last year, love the colour !!
I was also wearing this necklace, you couldn't see it on the picture before, it's gorgeous with a black tassel and is from Muse !

Hope you're all having a lovely day !xxx
