Another Sleek product

Yes, it's another Sleek product This time its for the lips

A lip product called pout paint has been around for a couple of months now. I was dying to get my hands on a good quality purple/pink lipstick in exactly this shade. When they come in the post, which I may also add is extremely prompt, you may be surprised that they seem quite small. The puzzled look was wiped off my face as soon as I sampled them for myself. A tiny bit of product spreads so far and the pigment is unreal! Here's a look at the purple/pink!

I lined the lips with an Inglot soft precision lip liner in shade 67 and applied the pout paint in the shade Mauve over to my lips. The other shade I bought is called Lava. It's vibrant orange colour and its fantastic! So as you can imagine i'm singing Sleek's praises at the moment ! Have you tried any of their products?? X

Tunes in the Place

You know what? I LOVE Queens of the Stone Age. What happens with me is, I love a band listen to their album on repeat and then never listen to them for a year or two. So QOTSA have made a recent comeback for me while I spend all my time doing assignments. I'm the one bobbing my head along to Track 7 !

Era Vulgaris is such a great album. I suppose its toned down ad new compared to older stuff but it's definitely a grower ! X

Whoops !!

Ok so that was a terrible start to my "new beginning" wasn't it? But i'm armed with an excuse! I was away snowboarding in the beautiful French Alps. I've suffered a few bruises and that is all, thank God. Right so without further ado... I would like to show you all my favourite Christmas present that I received this year from my brother. I am the proud owner of the Sleek Me, Myself and I eyeshadow palette.

This is one of the best eyeshadow palettes out there at the moment. Not only is it useful for every day make up with its shades of neutral pinks and burgundy, this must have palette boasts of night time looks with bright yellows, screaming turquoise and blushing red! I like the fact that it provides a white shadow that one can use as a highlighter when trying diverse looks. Another fantastic thing about this product is that it is highly pigmented. The joy that came across my face when I used these colours for the first time was an alien concept to my brother, who guessed this was a wining present!

I have to admit since this landed in my hands, I have not been able to let it out of my sight! As you can probably notice from the smudges of powder evident in the photos. I would recommend this to anyone, from beginners to experts. It is extremely affordable, however, this DOES NOT compromise the quality of the Sleek palette.

Why not see for yourself? Check out the Me, Myself and I palette and other products on their website www.sleekmakeup.com Enjoy!

New Year, New Start; Exploration

Hi there,

So I am aware that there is probably no one reading this blog post and I am currently writing to my own ego, but today is the day I have decided to take a step into the unknown.

I constantly give out that I have no talents and do not possess a creative bone in my body. However, 2012 may be the year that changes my life!

Well, at least i'm going to try something new.

I have decided i'm going to take up some new hobbies and re-invent my life this year. I shall let you in on a few plans and goals I hope to set AND COMPLETE. I'm going to give them all a shot anyway and see where they take me.

I plan to write about make up, beauty, fashion, music, movies, my life, the usual. This blog will show my experimentation with different styles, products and maybe even a new types of exercise (if you're so lucky). I also hope to try out new products that, as an Irish person, are not available to me in the high street stores. While i do believe in good quality make up, one thing I would like to try is finding dupes of well known products and maybe even at a cheaper price.

I may talk about an occaisional movie I watch I don't really know but I guess i'll just wait and see where this goesssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Life's all just a bitta fun anyway isn't it?
