Fruit-Inspired Lips : Getting a Dragon Fruit Pout with Sleek Makeup Pout Paints

Paris B 44 Comments

I received a few of the new Sleek Makeup Pout Paints quite recently and I’ve been trying to get a feel of it. Sleek Makeup Pout Paints are little tubes of super intense liquid colour that you can use directly, or mix and match to create a lip colour that is perfect for just you.

Oh So Special! The new Sleek Makeup i-Divine eyeshadow palette

The Sleek Makeup Oh So Special i-Divine eyeshadow palette is getting to be quite legendary online. So legendary in fact, that its being compared very favourably to that ubiquitious Urban Decay Naked palette. Personally, I don’t agree. The Naked palette isn’t quite comparable to Oh So Special, which is a very good neutralish sort of eyeshadow palette. But its not quite the same.

Close but no cigar. I should have probably taken a picture of the Oh So Special palette next to the Naked palette so you can form your own views, but since I’ve been tardy, you can do a side by side comparison instead 😛 You will however notice right off hand that the Oh So Special palette has these selection of pink-purple shadows, which aren’t present in the Naked palette. Big difference right there already! But here are some swatches and photos and a quickie look below.

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.
