Sleek Pomegranate Blush Review | Perfect For Autumn

Hey girlie's!!!

Ive been on the hunt for that go to Autumn blush for a while now, i wanted something with that pop of colour that would give me that cute flush to the cheeks without looking like a clown or a disco ball he he. Finally i found myself this little gem 'Sleeks Pomegranate Blush'.

Pomegranate is a berry/raspberry shade with a slight metallic sheen to it however... Once its applied to the cheek it gives you that cute flush that you get when its really cold outside in the winter time, its just such a beautiful blush. When i saw the metallic sheen i was slightly worried it would be too much but i must admit the metallic sheen is only ever so slight, i can hardle notice it to be honest. You don't have to worry about this blush being glittery in anyway either as there's no noticeable micro glitter particles running through the blush itself.

As with most of Sleek Blushes 'Pomegrante' is super smooth in texture and isn't powdery in the slightest,  it's easy to blend and packed full of pigments, a little really does go a long way with this blush so be careful not to load your brush up too much. I also adore the packaging, it comes in Sleeks standard black 'sleek' looking packaging that feels lightweight yet durable and opens up with a nice mirror inside which i always think is a nice touch for any on the go touch ups.

Overall I'm super happy to have this beauty of a blush in my life, I can tell its going to be well and truly loved by me over the Autumn/Winter months.

You can buy your Sleek Pomegranate Blush in selected Superdrug stores and on the Sleek website for £4.29.  

The Autumn Tag

Hey girlie's!!!

It's fair to say i absolutely love this time of year, so when i saw this Autumn Tag floating about on the blogosphere he he i knew i had to join in, so here we go....

Favourite thing about Autumn?

There's so many things i love about Autumn, the fact we can get out our snuggle jumpers and pj's back out, the spicy scented candles reappear and the evening hot chocolates come back out to play, its just so lovely. I also get really into baking and cooking when it's cooler, there's nothing like a home baked gingerbread man or stew that wont make you love and appreciate that its Autumn time. 

Favourite Drink?

It's all about the hot chocolates and cups of tea with biccy's to dunk for me, although I do enjoy a gingerbread latte when I'm out and about Christmas shopping!!

Favourite Scent/Candle?

I'm a huge candle fan as it is, my house is full of them!! But in Autumn i love to stock up on lots of berry, cinnamon and spicy scented candles, it just makes your house smell so warming and wintry.

Best Lipstick?

I must admit I'm not a huge lipstick wearer in the Autumn, I'm all about lip balms to keep my lips nice and moisturised so they wont chap in the colder weather however, i do love the berry red colours on a day when i fancy wearing some lippy. My favourite at the moment is MUA shade 1, check out the full review here.

Go to Moisturiser?

I will just be sticking to my trusty moisturiser which is my 'Simple Rich Moisteriser'.

Go to colour for your eyes?

I'm all about the neutrals, usually i mix and match the shades in my Urban Decay Naked Palette but i just recently got a Mac Quad Palette so I'm sure ill throw All That Glitters and Satin Taupe into the mix as well.

Favourite Outfit to wear?

This is super easy for me, I'm all about pretty dresses with thick tights, boots and a chunky knitted cardigan to throw over the top.

Autumn Treat?

Hmmm my Autumn treat will probably be a nice new coat and some new winter boots. I've also been eyeing up the Mac Cranberry eye shadow too, naughty me.

Favourite place to be?

As cheesy as it might sound, but my favourite place to be in the Autumn is snuggled up on the sofa with my boyfriend watching a movie, preferably either the Harry Potter's or Home Alone 1 and 2 as they always make me feel all cosy and ready for the colder month's.

I hope you enjoyed reading my take on the Autumn Tag!!!

I tag everyone who reads this to get involved and to get excited about Autumn!! 

Autumn Eyes | Make-Up Look

Hey girlie's!!!

I thought id share with you all what will be one of my most favourite ways to do my eye makeup this Autumn. I adore my golds, browns and bronze colour's so this look will mostly consist of those pretty shades. I am getting braver when it comes to eye shadow though, and will be showing you a nice berry toned look ill be wearing too very soon.

To create this look i started off with perfecting my base...

I buffed in my 'Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation' in 100 Ivory using my 'Real Techniques Buffing Brush', i then went on to conceal my dark under eye circles and any blemishes i had with my 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer' in 1 fair. To set all everything into place i used my Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium and finished of with a small amount of my 'MUA Blush' in Candyfloss.

I then went on to the eyes, my favourite part he he...

To create this eye makeup look i used....

The Urban Decay Naked Palette taking the shade 'Half Baked' on a fluffy blending brush and softly blending it across the lid, i then took the shade 'Smog' and blended that into the crease and slightly over the lid also, and i finished off with using 'Hustle' at the outta corner just to darken up the look slightly. I then used my 'Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner' in black to line the upper lash line and winged it out ever so slightly, nothing too dramatic though. I lined my waterline with 'Avon's SuperShock Gel Eyeliner' in black and finished of with a coat of 'Max Factor's Wild Mega Volume Mascara'. For my brows all i used was the shade 'Buck' from the Urban Decay Naked Palette just to make them appear more full.

For the lips I've kept it quite natural and just used my 'Baby Lips' tinted lip balm in 'Cherry Me', this is my favourite shade out of the collection and keeps your lips lovely and moisturised through the colder monthes preventing chapping.

I hope you liked the first of my Autumn eye looks, any feedback would be great as this is my first ever eye makeup 'look', I'm in no way a make up artist but i do try my best he he!!! 

What eye shadows will you be wearing this Autumn??? I'd love to know.
