Versus Series: Sleek v Sleek


Hey guys,

Welcome to Day 3 of the #bigblogmasproject. I love doing this and the Instagram challenge as it's fun and pushes you to do it.

I did have a series on my older blog that got hacked, but then I could access it again but it was too late. There's a mouthful haha. The series was a VERSUS one and it was comparing two brands similar to each other or two favourites from a brand.

I have chosen to take two Sleek blushes and give you the run down on them briefly and which one I personally prefer and why.


Both these blushes are huge hits amongst MUA's, bloggers etc. As far as I know 'Antique' is limited edition. Sorry. I do think it's available online though. If I find a link I'll tweet it out on my twitter :)

Ok, so the gorgeous blushes. Sleek blushes are some of the, if not the most pigmented on the high street/drugstore. They retail for £4.49/£4.99. Eh how cheap.

Antique is a gorgeous brown and is not at all orange but more red based. I have to admit that there was a frosting on top of the blush for about 3/4 uses that was uber glittery but not on the skin. Whilst it still looks glittery, it really isn't. It gives the most gorgeous glow to your cheeks and if you're very pale then use this blush as a contour/blush. I am obsessed with this. I use this more than my NARS.

Rose Gold is a different kettle of fish altogether. I would definitely associate this colour with Spring/Summer time. It is quite vibrant. This is the closest dupe to NARS Orgasm. I do think Sleek's Rose Gold has more of a sheen of it than NARS. However, this is one heck of a girly blush. I would definitely approach this with a light hand as it is so pigmented. Such a pretty, glowy look when on the cheeks.


As you can see in the swatch picture they are seriously gorgeous. How could I choose a winner? Well, easily haha. I choose Antique to be MY winner anyway. It sits well on my skin and gives me a gorgeous glow. It does what NARS Amour does for me and makes me look healthy and it's very natural. Rose Gold can come off quite shiny sometimes so it puts me off.

Both are still undoubtedly beautiful though.

Hope you all have a great day. I'm off to work for a couple of hours.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A...

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this...

Wet N Wild Mega Liner

Image
Hey loves, As you may have guessed, Wet N Wild is available to buy in Ireland now. One of our supermarkets here called Dunnes Stores carries it. They booted Essence out and got Wet N Wild in. For those who are new to liquid liner or just prefer gel, try this if you can. As you can the brush is short but it isn't as pointed as some others I have seen. My issue with liquid liner is getting a grip with the brush so it's firm but still moves. I don't think for me, as a beginner, a long brush or handle is ideal. I love this product. The handle and brush make it so easy for you to have a good grip. The colour range isn't the largest but I chose turquoise for the Spring. I found two coats of this on the lid made it pop and look very different. This liner is so easy to use, I even managed to get a wing. That is a huge deal, for me anyway. For €2.99, I have to go back for more. For those in the UK looking for Wet N Wild, click here. Victoria xox
