Triple Threat.

I am definitely one of those people that is completely drawn in by colour, it doesn't matter what it is, if its bright I will buy it. Hence my purchase of the Sigma Creme De Couture Palette. When will I ever be able to pull off yellow eye shadow? Never I'm sure! But I had to get my hands on it nonetheless. The same goes for these gorgeous Sleek blush by 3 palettes. The colour's are so gorgeous that I had to buy four of them! What can I say? I cant help myself! 

These palettes are rich in pigment and have colour's to rival any top beauty brand. Whats not to love about that? The first one I picked up was from the Candy Collection aptly named Sweet Cheeks and is perhaps my most favourite of all four palettes. It consist of one cream blush and two powder blushes as do most of the palettes apart from 

Sweet Cheeks: L-R Cupcake, Dollymix, CandyFloss

Lace: L-R Chantilly, Guipure, Crochet

Pink Lemonade: L-R Pink Mint, Macaroon, Icing Sugar

Californ.I.A: L-R OC, The Surf, Newport Peach

As you can see from the swatches above the pigmentation in these blushers are amazing! For such an affordable product, this is great to see! I purchased my palettes off of the Sleek website where they are currently priced at €12.99 with 8 shades available. Eh hello? Why are you still reading this? Get buying!

Lime Crime Lipsticks: First Impressions

It feels like forever since I have done a blogpost! And what better way to get back into the swing of things than a post about lipsticks. My all time favourite beauty product. 

Lime Crime lipsticks have been around for a while now and have become a cult beauty product for many YouTube beauty gurus and bloggers alike. Now its my turn to love them! I purchased three of these lipsticks from a website called Beautyjoint.com. These lipsticks are priced at $18 which works out at around €13 which personally, I find to be a reasonable price for such great lipsticks. This site currently has 17 shades available of the Opaque Lipsticks with Coquette popping in and out of the bunch occasionally. They also have many other Lime Crime products available such as nail polishes, Velvetines Liquid Lipsticks and eyeshadows. 

On the website, these lipsticks are described as being "recklessly loaded with pigment" to "underscore your personality". I think this is completely true. I picked up the shades Babette , Geradium and Centrifuscia. 

As you can see from the swatches above, these lipsticks really do live up to their name. Super pigmented! My favourite shade has to be Babette. It looked more nude online but its actually a slightly peachy toned lipstick. I still love it though. I have to be careful when applying this as it really is opaque in one go. I like to dab a bit on with my finger instead of straight from the tube.

Overall I would really recommend these lipsticks to anyone looking for great quality and pigmented lipsticks. I will say however, Lime Crime is not for the faint hearted as the other colours in the range consist of a bright yellow and a blue lipstick. Not easily worn colours. Haha


Have you tried any Lime Crime products before? What are your thoughts?
