Review: Sleek Blush By 3, Lace

Hey Guys,
A little while back i was in my local Superdrug and was scouring the Sleek section for some cute blushes and i found this trio called Lace and at £9.99 i thought it was a pretty good deal considering only one blush is £4.49!

Just like all the single blushes by Sleek, these were extremely pigmented and you only need to tap the brush once to have enough product for a natural flush on your cheeks. The colours are also flattering, there's a matte orangey coral, a shimmery rose gold pink and a matte pinky red so you're good to go for almost any makeup look.

The packaging is also very sleek and quite a dinky size which is great if you're travelling. I would say the palette is sturdy too so if you by accident drop it, the pigments won't crack. Overall, I like this product and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. Have you any tried Sleek products?

 

Thanks for reading,

Summer Scent- Daisy Sunshine Edition, Marc Jacobs

Today I wanted to share with you guys my favourite summer perfume- Daisy Sunshine Eau de Toilette by Marc Jacobs

I got this when I was shopping at the airport duty free when i was heading off to Italy and I couldn't resist it! The original Daisy is quite a floral scent which I was quite a fan of however this version had the extra oomph I was looking for.

Here are the different notes of this fragrance as described on the Marc Jacobs website:
Top Notes: Red Currant, Guava, Juicy Mandarin
Mid Notes: Lily of the Valley, Violet, Lychee
Base Notes: Apricot Skin, Blonde Woods, Musks

I would say this is a daytime scent as it is quite fresh and uplifting however i'm sure it would be good for the evenings/nights too. Can we just take a moment to adore this lovely packaging?! Marc Jacobs is known to have really cute, creative packaging and i'm sure people would be sold on it just to have a pretty bottle on their dressing table! Even my cat seems to like it, he fell asleep on it...!

Have you tried any Marc Jacobs perfumes?

Review: Essie's Mint Candy Apple

I had been wanting to get my hands on Essie's Mint Candy Apple for what seems like AN AGE and Mint green is definately one of my favourite colours on the nails for Spring and Summer so today i finally caved :)

Theres something about Boots and the way the Essie stand glares at you-its soo bright and i just stand there in awe and wonder at all the beautiful shades that stand before me...

Anyway, back to the Review! First of all, the packaging is very sleek with 'Essie' imprinted on the bottle which gives it quite a high end feel and the bottle also containes 15ml of product which matches OPI nail polishs but beats Nails Inc by 5mls.

The medium sized brush in the polish make the product a breeze to apply and as my nails are quite small i only needed a stroke or two to cover my nail completely. However, i would recommend to apply 2 coats as the first coat isnt quite opaque and the second coat makes all the difference!

The colour is definately an aqua minty green and is slightly darker than a pastel and i havent found a colour quite like it! It has a nice glossy finish but i like to follow up with my Seche Vite top coat to make the Polish last longer and prevent chipping. I would say that it is worth the £7.99 price tag and i would love to get more Essie polishes in the furure and sometimes Boots do a 3 for 2 on Makeup so keep your eyes peeled!
