Sleek 'Oh So Special' Palette



So today i went to the shops to buy contest prizes and had to pick this up for myself! why haven't i seen this before?! This is definately going to be my favourite palette from sleek so far.






So for those of you who have never seen a sleek palette (although you probably all have!) You get 12 shadows and they are all mineral. Something i love about this palette compared to most others is that a lot of the colours are matte. There are also a lot of pinky and peachy tones in this, which again i love and this makes it a more versitile palette as you could get away with wearing some of these on your cheeks which is great, especially for travelling!
The names of the colours are adorable too, i know you can't see them all but some of the names include, organza, wrapped up and gift basket. I love the idea that sleek has named all of the colours, although the fact that the names are on a plastic sheet, which i will probably loose, isn't so great!



(Just a few of the colours)


I definately reccomend this palette! well everyone should have at least one sleek palette i think. Would you like tutorials using this palette??
Hope your all well,

First Love, Last Love

Top: Primark
Shorts: New Look
Bag: Primark
(Also wore heels)


So i went to go see the maccabees last night (If you dont know who they are, youtube them!!), they were amazing. I went to go see them as a small venue too which made it a million times more exciting.
Anyway back to the outfit. I think this was a good choice as we went out at 4pm so i wanted something that wasnt too dressy but was also nice and a bit different.
I love that i look like oliver twist or something!
Do you like these quick outfit posts?

Hope your all well,

 (E.L.F Nail polish in 'Dark Navy' and matte finish top coat)


So Today i recieved my E.L.F haul (video link will be at the end!) and i'm always pleasantly suprised by pretty much everything i order, ELF is a great company because they dont test on animals, and they dont charge you ridiculous prices for things that really dont cost much to make! And for the most part there packaging is great.
On to the nail varnishes, i actually manages to pick these babies up 50% off so they were 75p (steal i know!) And i couldn't wait to try them out as soon as they arrived. This is the results..

(Pre matte top coat - bad quality sorry!)

(After the top coat was used)

Now I am aware that i paint my fingernails like an 8 year old and the first picture isnt great quality, but the second picture really shows off how amazing this top coat is. A dark navy wasn't the best colour to demonstrate this with but i will do another post with a different colour next time!
The navy was a shimmery colour and, althought you can't really appriciate that through my awful photo taking skills, there is definately no more shimmer left! I am really pleased with the results and for 75p you cant go wrong! Definately reccomend this to anyone! Click here to go check out there website




Hope your all well,

I confess..

(Cringey photo, although Raspberry nail paint, yessss)

So i love hearing about things people do (or dont do) that make them imperfect, because lets face it no ones perfect and i think it makes people more relatable. Anywho here are my confessions:

001: I dont always take my makeup off: Yess lets face it we've all been known to come home from a drunken night and just colapse on the bed, waking up still fully clothed (mm sexy) I am just known to leave my makeup on more than the average joe.

002: I use wet wipes far to much: I know these aren't good at getting rid of all your makeup, or much of it at all.. and there 'not good for your skin' but hey you only live once.

003: I pick my nail varnish off: Although i have a good reason for this, when cotton buds (ewww) make you cringe as much as they make me, then you would be doing the same!

004: I 'recycle' my makeup: Okay so now your really grossed out right. Ha theres nothing wrong with going to work with the same mascara on as the night before.. right?

005: I never wash my hair: And i'm proud that i dont! It's good for your hair and anyway who said a bit of chip fat slap head hair isn't sexy anymore!

006: I love picking mascara off my eyelashes: Yes you heard that right, i'm probably pulling out half my eyelashes at the same time.. But i find it somwhat tranquil!

Anyways that is all for my confessions, I hope I didn't scare you off tooo much!

Hope your all well,

It's The End Of The Week.

(Ohh i want it to be summer forever so i can wear this hat)


001: So this week i have really missed my blog and want to make a million posts, but that would probably overload you with rubbish so i wont ha! Apart from that i have once again been mega busy with work which sucks, but i am once again dedicating all my spare time to making videos and doing blog posts!

002: Question, do you like it when all my videos have blog posts to go with them? Because i can definately do that! I'm going to try and blog everyday from today (eeek cant believe i just said that!) So if i'm not making a video something will be on here at least.

003: I'm off to see the maccabees tonight, SOOO EXCITED! Does anyone else like the maccabees? I will try and take some photos to add to my blog when i'm home tommorow.

004: Last night i realised how amazing some people are. People who i have never met (yet) who are always willing to cheer me up, who i think are just nice people inside and out, it makes me love that i make youtube videos! I would never know any of them otherwise.

005: So this is kind of a boring catch up. Had a mega boring week, Actually thats a lie, this week i spend most my time drinking and sat in a hot tub (when i wasn't working of course) which was nice as we had pretty nice weather for a few days! Well that is all, Look forward to another ramble next week.


Hope your all well,
