Festive eye makeup look-Smokey Teal

Diwali festivities are on in full swing & Dear Hubby today decided to pamper me and took me for some Diwali shopping.
So to glam up for the shopping I did this smokey Teal eye makeup look.I put my Sleek Makeup iDivine V2 Darks matte palette to use and I'm so thrilled about the pigmentation of these matte shadows, Total L<3ve :D

Here's how the look turned out..

Sorry about the sad picture quality I was in a rush to step out of the house and clicked a few in a jiffy :P

Swatchfest! Lee shares 6 of her favorite eyeshadows

Hello Beauties,

I LOVE doing up my eyes so it was pretty easy for me to decide what I wanted to swatch for IBC'S Swatch It-Win It! contest.

Here are the eyeshadows I totally LOVE. I’ve swatched 6 eyeshadows as no eye makeup is complete without a highlighter so Ive included the eyeshadow I love highlighting my browbone with. Enjoy <3

(Editor's Note- Lee these are some of the nicest swatches I've seen! Great Job!)

All the eyeshadows are swatched twice and without a base.

Colorbar 04 Gorgeous Gold

A frosty lemon-ish gold shade.  It is the perfect highlighting shade I have come across.

Colorbar 04 Really Rose

A frosty baby pink eyeshadow. It is also a good dupe of Mac Swish :D

Sleek Original iDivine Palette swatches

Sleek iDivine eyeshadow palettes are my absolute favorites when it comes to eye makeup, these sleek little palettes tuck in 12 lovely smooth, pigmented and blendable eyeshadow in a travel friendly package.

Sleek iDivine Original palette was one of the early launches from Sleek Makeup and has a all frosty and pearlescent shades except a matte black.
This is a bright festive looking palette filled with beautiful rich jewel tones. I'm not a huge fan of the matte black shadow included in this palette as unlike the other IDivine palettes I have I found this one to have much weaker pigmentation and it requires a whole lot of work to show up on my skin.

My absolute favorite is the blackened teal shade third shade from left in the top row. Its looks absolutely gorgeous and very apt fro creating some sultry smokey eyes.

Rest of the shadows are frosty the pale yellow gold shade has a flakey texture and had trouble showing up well on my bare skin.

These give approx 6 hours + of wartime with primer and though they fade away in intensity don't really crease much.
The shade selection is absolutely gorgeous and I think there are so many unique looks that can be put together from a single palette. I'd personally recommend getting one of these beauties for your you makeup stash :)

Sleek Pout Paint Lava,review,lip swatches-Guest Post by Neha

I have been hankering for a Sleek Makeup's lip product ever since I read Pooja’s review on Sleek’s pout polish. When I checked out their website, I saw these cute little tubes (little is an understatement) that said pout paint. I read a few smashing reviews online and since I was going through an orange phase (thanks, again to the Inglot 103 lipstick Pooja reviewed) I decided to grab Sleek Makeup Pout Paint in the shade Lava.

 

  

Lava is a fiery, neon orange colour in the tube and you need only a teensy weensy drop of it to spread on your lips. ‘FYI, a little goes a long way!’ as it says on the tube. The texture of the paint is thick but not sticky and doesn’t settle into lines. It’s not drying either so your lips are kept hydrated. 

Sleek iDivine Oh So special Palette review and swatches

Sleek iDivine palettes are my go to palettes for smooth, pigmented, easy to carry eyeshadows. I love,love,love the sleek and simple packaging, the large mirror, the beautiful assortment of 12 gorgeous eyeshadow shades in one palette and this one is Oh So Special!

Sleek created the ultimate Day-to-night palette with this one, half the palette is filled with 6 shades which work during the daytime and in fact these are the ones I religiously wear everyday to work.
The right side of the palette has 6 darker shadows which are perfect for creating evening looks.The matte black is very pigmented and coupled with the taupe shadow is perfect for creating a quick smokey eye look.
There are 7 mattes and 5 frosty pearl finished shadows in  Oh So Special!

Hmmm.. every time I think of Pink Cadillac the cheesy thought of Abhishek Bacchhan in Dostana movie,wearing pink & white floral shirt, driving around his powder pink Cadillac flashes in my head...Ahem ahem not the most drool worthy thought ;)

Well thank fully Sleek pout polish Pink Cadillac came to my rescue and gave me something totally worth drooling over!

How damn pretty is it, c'mon Sleek this is soo tempting that its almost illegal for a makeup to look so delish!
This pinky cool toned lip conditioner is smooth and slick gives a nice glossy finish.It has a coconutty flavor with a hint of slightly bitter aftertaste, but nothing too over powering.

Kim Kardashian Inspired Smokey Grey eye makeup look

Kim Kardashian the veritable Queen of the Smokey eye makeup, usually sports a dark black smokey look, but one of my favorite Kim Kardashian smokey eye look,features her with grey smokey eyes.

I have had this pic on my scrap book of 'looks-to-do' for a very long time, and as my Project 101 Eye makeup looks has been slackening off,today I decided to finally give it this look a whirl.
I used MAC Heirloom Kohl pencil on 3/4th of my lid to create a grey smokey base,and it blended so well that I didn't need to top it off with powder shadow. This look was done in a jiffy and I thought it turned out quite well.
Kim sports a frosty pinkey nude lippie in this picure, but I decided to go with milky nude lips instead & I topped off this look with MAC Cremesheen lipglass-Pricvate screening (from the Reel Sexy collection)

Products Used In the  Look

• NYX HD Eyeshadow base
• MAC Heirloom Kohl pencil (Limited edition from MAC Heavenly creatures collection)
• Sleek I Divine Oh So Special Palette-4 shades used- Boxed,Wrapped up,Noir and Bow matte vanilla shade used as highlighter
• Faces Canada White eye liner pencil
• Maybelline Eye studio black gel eyeliner
• Bourjois Ultra curl mascara
• KKCenterHK false eyelashes

Sleek Makeup Blush Sleek Gold review and swatches

Looking for a NARS Orgasm dupe on a budget ? Sleek Rose Gold blush is the answer to your prayers Girls!!

Now how sleek & sexy is the packaging? The pan is quite small in person but it packs 8 grams of product for just $ 6/- plus international shipping (available at www.SleekMakuep.com  or Superdrug stores across UK). The pan comes with a mirror and no applicator.

This little pan of goodness has the right mix of peach,pink and old gold. It is what Orgasm for Duskier Girls would have looked like. Seriously I had been panning to pick up Nars O forever, but when I tried it out it barely showed up on my NC 45 skin, I got more of a Gold sheen and no hint of peach or pink.
When I wear Sleek rose gold- yes the gold is pronounced but there is a noticeable hint of peach and pink too- which I like!

Sleek Rose gold blush is also a good dupe for MAC Sunbasque blush.
