A little Sleek Giveaway, just because.

I've not hosted a giveaway for my lovely followers in a long time so I thought why not?
I chose the sleek palette I reviewed about here as I personally loved it and think you guys will too, I feel the colours can work with most people and last of all I know it's hard to get in countries outside the UK so yes it's international!

It's here! Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Rose & Lavender


I recently blogged about this cleanser here and it's now available to buy here. I was kindly sent this Special Edition Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser in Rose and Lavender.
It's bigger bottle than the usual hot cloth cleansers (150ml opposed to the normal 100ml) and has a pretty design incorporated onto the front.
The cleanser feels and looks exactly the same as the original, the only difference is the addition of rose and lavender essential oils which in result give's off a fragrance. It's especially recommended to use in the evening because of the relaxing scent.
After using this version for the past week I found that the smell was just right, not too strong and I could smell the lavender more than the rose which I personally don't mind.
A great product with a great cause, £2.00 of the £19.75 will go to The Princes Trust.
Will you be buying this cleanser?

Sleek i-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks Palette swatches & Review

I bought this palette a while ago and thought I'd do a post on it before I throw away the packaging it came in. I'm a fan of matte make-up and liked the idea of having a palette of all matte shadows hence this lovely Sleek purchase!
 The palette contains 12 1g eyeshadows in a range of gorgeous 'dark' colours. I bought mine for £7.99 and there is also a 'Brights'(they don't lie about this, bright for sure!) matte palette.
Here's some pictures I snapped up, unfortunately my 'better' camera is recharging right now so I hope these pictures do the job.

My favourite has to be 'Orbit' followed by 'Ink', I quiet like 'Paper Bag' too (picture does no justice) but it's a nice brown. 'Flesh' is uh...very flesh toned on my skin so you can't see it as well.
 Pro's
-The eyeshadows are easy to blend.
-Most of them are very pigmented.
- The range of colours is nice.
 -Affordable and come's in a sturdy black palette with a good mirror.
 Con's
 - Not all the shadows are as pigmented, there's a few exceptions.
 - A little chalky- I had loose 'bit's' of shadows when I was swatching which you can see in the second picture.
Verdict? 
Overall I'm impressed, I personally don't think it's easy to find a decent matte set of eyeshadows so I'm pleased Sleek released this one!

Do you own this palette?

Liz Earle Prince's Trust Special Edition Hot Cloth Cleanser with Rose & Lavender

Just thought I'd give you lovely people a heads up about the Liz Earle Special Edition Hot Cloth Cleanser with Rose & Lavender. It's existence comes about because of 'The Tomorrow Campaign' which was created to inspire the next generation and so six Prince's Trust supported young people have had iconic mentors working with them to create a product where a contribution of the price will go to The Prince's trust. Liz had worked with a young entrepreneur called Rebecca Taylor and together they have come up with this very relaxing and calming sounding hot cloth cleanser. A donation of £2.00 will be made to the trust which helps young people into jobs and training. A great cause right?!
You can get your hands on it from the 6th of September. I'm personally a huge supporter of products that contribute money to a charity and think this is great.
There is also free P&P on the Liz Earle site until the 31st of August which is celebrating the CoolBrands award they have received! Happy Shopping :)
