Weekly Beauty Favourites #1

Hey beaut's!!!

Today I thought I'd do something a little different, I always do my monthly beauty favourites but I thought every now and again I could switch things up and do a weekly favourites post, just when there are stand out products that I've loved using throughout that particular week. Do let me know if you like the idea beaut's, is it a yay or nay ha ha!

Anyway onto this weeks delights...

Sleek Garden of Eden Palette

   Ive been using this stunning palette everyday this week as it's perfect for Springtime wear,  the shades eve's kiss, paradise on earth, forbidden and flora are my most worn shades this week.. Ohh they're so pretty!!! I think the Garden of Eden Palette is such a lovely take on neutrals palette and the combination of the earthy browns, dusky purples and the organic greens work so well together. As with all of the Sleek i-Divine Palette's I've tried the quality is amazing and the eye shadows last on my oily eyelids all day without a primer which is just fantastic! You can read my full review and see my swatches of the shades HERE.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Lips in Vega

I only bought this little beauty just over a week ago but I've been wearing it every day since, its just so pretty and I love the formula. I picked up the shade Vega, as it's a summery version of a vampy red lip and you know how much I loved my vampy red lips during the Autumn/Winter so it's nice to have a cooled down version for Summer...ohhh its just so lovely. I'll have a full review coming soon so keep those eyes peeled beaut's he he.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Garnier's offering of the popular Micellar Water is a firm favourite for most of us beauty bloggers and I have certainly become addicted to the stuff, so much so that I have another bottle sitting in my cupboard ready for when my current bottle runs out, even though I'm not even half way through yet he he, oh well it's always good to be prepared! The solution itself is so soft and gentle and just dissolves all my makeup and the days dirt instantly without the need to rub at my face or be rough on my eyes. I've notice after use it leaves my skin so refreshed, lovely and soft and it isn't drying in the slightest either. If you'd like to know abit more about this little beauty you can check out my full review and pictures HERE.

Poundland Bargain Nail Polishes

Recently I've been finding some amazing beauty bargains in Poundland and in particular I've been loving these gorgeous sparkly Revlon nail varnishes that I picked up. The Blue is called 'Midnight Sparkle' and is an opaque blue polish crammed full of different sized sparkles, it just reminds me so much the sea when your on holiday when the sun makes it glisten, its so pretty. The Purple is called 'Brilliant Bordeaux' which has loads of purple and silver holographic glitters suspended within a clear polish, which I've been loving for an accent top coat over a pastel pink/pastel lilac nail he he. You can really get some amazing things in Poundland if go in at the right time, I've seen and bought brands such as OPI, Dainty Doll, L'Oreal, Calvin Klein, Collection, Rimmel, Sinful Colors and many more so its definitely worth a look around.

Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' Bubbly Shower Gel

I have been obsessed with Marc Jacob's 'Daisy' scent recently and this week I've been using up the remaining bubbly shower gel that I got within the Daisy Gift Set. I find it works so well with the Daisy perfume and enhances the scent and lasting power dramatically, not to mention it's the perfect scent to accompany the springtime season. The Bubbly Shower Gel also feels like such a luxurious treat, as the name would suggest it lathers up loads and makes your skin feel super soft, moisturised and refreshed.

What have you been enjoying this week beauty wise? I'd love to know!

Sleek Makeup 'Garden of Eden' i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

You may have seen in my latest makeup and beauty haul  that I finally managed to pick up the gorgeous Garden of Eden palette by Sleek Makeup. I've had the palette on my wish list since it's January release so you can imagine I was super happy to finally have it in my life and my goodness it doesn't disappoint.


The packaging for the Garden of Eden Palette is the same as the standard Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes with its usual matte black casing and large mirror inside. As for the outta packaging... I managed to nab the palette's Limited Edition snake skin designed box, as the packaging is limited edition they will only be available whilst stocks last but don't worry the Garden of Edan palette is a permanent fixture in the i-Divine eyeshadow palette line.

The Garden of Eden palette contains 12 gorgeous shades that are all nature inspired, I just love the combination of the earthy browns, dusky purples and the organic greens, it's such a lovely take on a neutrals palette and will certainly suit all complexions and eye colours, however I do think this palette would make brown and green eyes pop in particular. As with most Sleek palettes the quality of each eye shadow is amazing, with most feeling buttery soft and are so easy to work with.

As I said before the Garden of Eden palette holds 12 eye shadows, all of which are a mixture of frosts, metallic's and complimentary matte shades, below I have listed the shade run down for you...

Gates 0f Eden - A warm toned golden shade which has some copper tones to it, this eye shadow has a lovely soft, frost texture and amazing pigmentation.

Eve's Kiss - A pinky lilac shade that has a metallic almost foil finish. 

Paradise On Earth - A deep brown-taupe shade with dusky purple tones that has a metallic finish.

Python - A rich chocolate brown shade that has a metallic finish, great pigment and amazing colour pay off.

Forbidden - A matte blend of grey, taupe and purple tones with micro glitters that can fall out slightly upon application. 

Flora - A dark matte brown, perfect for getting all smokey he he, even though it has a matte finish it has beautiful levels of pigmentation.

Entwined -  A dark taupe shade with a matte base that has a sprinkling of golden micro  glitter, this shade can be a little chalky and has a dry texture so it quite hard to swatch.

Adam's Apple -  A light matte green that reminds me of a golden delicious apple ha ha, its a slightly chalky eyeshadow and doesn't scream pigment either.

Fig - A metallic olive green shade that's super soft and packed with pigment.

Evergreen - A bright green metallic shade, again with super pigmentation.

Fauna - A frost forest green shade, great pigmentation.

Tree Of Life - A deep matte forest green shade, despite being matte it has an intensive amount of colour pay off.

 Like with all Sleek palettes, I found all of the eye shadows in the Garden of Eden palette lasted really well on my oily eyelids and stayed in place all day, the only time I did experience any fall out was when applying the more glittery shades within the palette, I found a small amount of glitter did fall onto my under eye area but it was nothing major and easily fixed with a foundation brush. All of the shadows pick up on the brush well and blend out beautifully, making it a great palette for beginners. I found the only shades that didn't have intense pigment are Entwined and Adams Apple, don't get me wrong they are still lovely shades and blends out nicely but they do need some layering to create a good amount of colour payoff. 

Overall I love this palette and Sleek have triumphed yet again in my eyes, as you can see from all the beautiful shades this palette contains, it can provide you with a multitude of looks from day to night, from subtle to more dramatic, from spring through to autumn, I think its a fabulous little palette that most would enjoy. 

The Sleek Garden of Eden Eyeshadow Palette retails for £7.99 which I think is an absolute bargain, that works out around just 66p per eyeshadow!!! You can buy your very own Garden of Eden palette online at www.sleekmakeup.com and www.superdrug.com and it's also available in selected Superdrug stores.
