Using the Bare Minimum to go Au Naturel with the Sleek Makeup Nude Collection

Paris B 39 Comments

You know how a popular makeup brand releases a new collection and the whole beauty blogging world goes gaga over it? You know how a new neutral coloured palette is released and every one and their sister goes “Oh! This is the new UD Naked palette!”

Welcome to the Sleek Makeup Nude Collection featuring the Au Naturel i-Divine eyeshadow palette, Suede Blush and Bare Minimum Pout Polish. This is the latest Sleek Makeup collection and the rave du jour around the interweb. The eyeshadow palette is already favourably compared to the UD Naked one – in fact, nearly every neutral toned palette is 😛

I’m going to stick my neck out here, ladies and tell you that whilst I’ve enjoyed using Sleek Makeup’s other palettes (Curacao, Oh so Special) and products (Pout Paints), this is quite possibly my least favourite collection. Oh yes, shoot me 😛

Now, hold the hate mail, let me tell you why.

Sleek Makeup Curacao i-Divine eyeshadow palette – Quick! How would you wear these colours?

I’m the faint hearted sort. So I hmmed and hawed at these for a bit before delving in. Had to, y’know. They are limited edition and all and I wanted to make sure you get your hands on them, if you like bright colours like these 🙂

Now, while you think about how you’re going to wear these, I’m going to show you a couple of swatches and photos below including a few looks I drummed up very quickly using the Curacao palette. Yes, I actually made use of that red shadow! 😯 A picture heavy post so grab a drink, sit back and let’s take a cruise to the Caribbean 🙂

Happy Saturday Ladies!

My Dad surprised me by asking me to book them a movie this weekend. After much to-ing and fro-ing, we are going to see Pirates of the Carribbean : On Stranger Tides. Would you believe that this is the first Pirates movie I’m going to watch? Yeah I’m way behind, I know. So while I go and savour the movie, here are some new beauty items you can look out for.

Hada Labo Olive Cleansing Oil

Hada Labo previously had their Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Makeup Remover, which I wasn’t too crazy over, and they now have a proper cleansing oil! Its olive oil based so I’m quite worried that it will break me out like DHC does. I ordered mine online before I knew it was out here, and I just received it about 2 days ago, but there you go! I’ve already seen it at some Guardian pharmacies so take a look there.

Hada labo Cleansing Oil retails at RM49.90

Revlon CustomEyes Eyeshadow Palettes

I never thought very much of Revlon eyeshadows. I always found them lacking a bit in pigment. The new Custom Eyes Eyeshadow palettes however, are a totally different kettle of fish! Lovely smooth textures for the most part, and well pigmented. I most certainly recommend taking a look at them, especially Smokey Sexy and Naturally Glamorous. I’ll have a review or two coming up in due course 🙂

Revlon Custom Eyes Eyeshadow Palettes come in 4 colour palettes and retail at RM49 each
