Some of my Current Favorites


Hello my gorgeous friends! ❤ I have soooo many favorites saved up for you girls, here's a start! 

I have a few products from this brand and I love them all. The products are such great quality and my skin responds very well to them. I can use these products and know I'm putting something nourishing on my skin. I use the Charcoal Jojoba Face Scrub (very gentle scrub, I use it every morning, really feels like it's deep cleaning those pores!), Charcoal Face Mask (so nourishing, my skin feels so good after I use this. I love using the charcoal scrub before applying this), and the Organic Lemon AHA + DMAE Toner (this is soooo refreshing! It helps reduce dark spots and even skin tone, I've noticed a different in my spots!). 
I got a body wash too, the Wild Rose Body Wash. Holy cow, this stuff smells so good. I love showering before bed and I'll use this, rub some Boots No. 7 Dry Body Oil Spray (it smells like fresh powder, smells so good layered with the rose scent) and I'll still smell good in the morning! My skin holds the smell nicely. Love love love it. ❤ I will actually be doing a more in depth review on more products I've gotten. I love everything from this brand!

Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows
I kinda didn't think much about this product. Until I realized that I used it basically every single time I put makeup on. These look great on their own or I love shading in the crease with a deeper shade. I find that my eye makeup does not budge when I use these. Such great results for drugstore. Go Maybelline!
My favorite shades are Barely Branded (I'm actually almost out of this color! I wear it all the time!), Bad to the Bronze, Tough as Taupe and Inked in Pink. (I've loved putting this under Mac's Woodwinked on the lid and then a darker brown in the crease for fall. Gorg) 

This mascara is just miraculous. Hands down favorite mascara even compared to high end ones. No joke. (This has remained my favorite for about 6 months, and I've tried quite a few mascaras in that time!) This mascara gives length, definition and fullness and when it dries completely, your lashes are left feeling so feathery and light yet big and voluminous! You can easily layer this mascara, I usually use two coats. For full on lash power, I'll finish off with a coat of waterproof Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. Try it out, it looks a-mazing. 

This blush is just so gorgeous. It has a extremely fine pearl sheen to it, quite understated. It gives such an amazing glow to your cheeks. I know I struggle with breakouts so covering those patches up sometimes takes away a lot of my luminosity. So I love using this blush to give me a radiant glow, without looking like shimmer is all over my cheeks. It immediately makes my skin look healthier. People have been commenting on how good my skin looks since I've been using this even though I've been dealing with some breakouts lately! Score!

If you suffer with acne or pigmentation, you need to try this! It's labeled a foundation but I use it as a full coverage concealer. It's so thin, yet creamy, ultra pigmented and blendable! An ounce of this stuff will last me years and years!! The thing I love the most: it does cling to dry patches and it still looks like skin after applied. The color I wear is 15 Opal. What an outstanding product! 

This stuff is only available online (if you're in US, it's a UK brand) but you get free shipping over $40. It is a fantastic dupe for the OCC lip tars! It comes in a little squeeze tube, they have tons of mixable colors, and it's only $6.49 a tube! Amazing, amazing formulation. I sometimes get patchiness on my lips when they get dry, this Pout Paint feels moisturizing, but it's completely opaque. Long lasting, great shine, it wears really evenly and beautifully off the lips. It's just an all around winner. I love it too, because I'm so fair, I can mix white with any color to lighten it. If you wanna get down to business, they also have a blue and orange, to play around with different toned pinks and reds. I really encourage you to give this product a try, you will love it! And when I wear a color out for a night, sometimes I'll get a really small empty plastic jar and I'll mix my color in the jar and then have it for a whole evening! It's so nice cause you can adjust the color to your liking. And, I will add that all the lip products from Sleek I have loved, especially the True Color Lipstick!
The colors from left to right: Cloud 9, Peachy Keen, Minx, Pinkini and Pin Up. My most used colors are Cloud 9, Minx and Pinkini. You can make a gorgeous baby pink with those three! And these truly stain your lips! Love!

Hope you liked this blog, this is my first favorites blog! I have more lined up!
