I Don't Love It

I'm not that hard to please.

And I love Sleek. Their eyeshadow palettes are some of my favourites. But..

I bought Sleek's Blush in Rose Gold a few weeks ago and was excited at the prospect of it being a dupe to Nars Orgasm. I haven't tried the Nars version but if this is anything to go by I don't want to. I don't mind shimmer. It can make me happy at times. But this is so shimmery and just doesn't suit me. Having naturally "flushed" cheeks (ie. red) I try to combat this as best I can, but this Sleek blush makes me look like I've been running a marathon. And a long one at that. This probably suits everyone else, but with my complexion, I just have to give it a miss!

I also purchased the Face and Body Highlighter in Peach Shimmer, which is the lightest shade (hence the pale Irish skin). It looked so promising on the website and even when it was delivered to my door I felt a sense of kiddish excitement. Complete disappointment. Although it has a lovely texture, I would need to have lashings of fake tan on to wear this. And I'm not that pale - I don't see how it can be the lightest shade. It almost comes across as a gold eyeshadow (like Amber Lights). Either way, it doesn't come out the way it looks or the way I expected. Hmph.

On the brightside the Sleek Nocturnal Kajal liner (what looks like a tampon) is a new fave! Have you tried these out?
