Bits 'n' Bobs...
I didn't walk away empty handed with yesterdays visit to Superdrug, one can't help being a make up addict and as soon as I saw '3 for 2' I was sold.
Here's what bits I got...
I have been wanting to get the Revlon 'Facets of Fuchsia' polish for ages, but it's always been sold out, finally it's mine!
It has a black base with tiny fuchsia glitter particles along with hexagonal glitters. It's totally gorgeous, and I can't wait to wear it.
I have never paid attention to the 'Sleek' powders before, but after 1 swipe of the 'Luminous powder' in shade 2 (perfect for NC35 Skin tones) it had to be mine as the colour match just seemed spot on.
There are teeny tiny finely milled glitter particles in it...
But, once you apply it to the skin it almost disappears. I'll let you know if it performs as nice as it looks in a forthcoming post.
Now, the brow kit is what I intended to get as it's brilliant.
It includes a powder, wax, brushes and tweezers all combined in a compact that includes a mirror.
I was sent the darker shade a while ago and have used it everyday since. However, even though I'm brunette I found the dark wax to be too harsh on my face, so I went out and got myself the lighter shade which I prefer. See swatch comparisons below.
On the subject of 'Sleek, I don't know how I found the time, but I depotted my Sleek eyeshadow palettes to potentially get more use out of them, and now they sit comfortabley with their other brands of eye shadow friends.
Lastly I'm wearing Orly's 'Sweet Peacock' on my nails, it's a shade I was sent from their recent 'Birds of a feather' collection. It's a foiled blue that's shot through with silver and has a matte finish, as much as I like it, it's not my favourite from the collection. Plus, yesterday my friend said it was a smurf blue, which I totally agree with however, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. My favourites from their recent collection has to be 'Fowl Play', 'Nite Owl' and 'Sea Gurl'.
I must say it feels nice to be thinking about the colour of my nails after not painting them for weeks! :)
Do you own any of the 'Bits 'n' bobs' I mentioned? If so, what are your thoughts?
