SLEEK MAKE UP @ ESKE PHARMACY REVIEW!!
So i recently went mad on the new SLEEK range and i thought id share with you guys my thoughts on the products. As always my opinion is honest and if you have any further questions just holler at me :) First lets all take a moment to appreciate the packaging... Just amazing... :)
So Everything on may face to day is from the SLEEK range featured in the picture. Primer, Bare skin foundation, eye shadows, contouring and blush palette, blush pixie pink, illuminate and sleek lipstick and mascara. the only product which isn't sleek is my eye primer which is urban decay! Everything got in ESKE PHARMACY Donegal Town (see bottom for Facebook links and contact numbers)
So lets start with the primer. Overall i have to say that its not my favorite product. I found it quite hard to work with if i'm honest. Although when its on and well worked in it does leave your skin feeling silky and smooth. I feel like you have to use quite a bit of product also so for me id take it or leave it!
So sleek eye shadow palettes... These are one of my cosmetic love of my life!! Anyone that knows me knows that I'm quite tough when it comes to criticizing eye palettes. Unless its urban decay, Sonya or MAC I'm probably not interested... Unless of course that is you are SLEEK! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these palettes. I'm still in shock a the high quality of pigmentation of these shadows. They are with out a doubt the best i have used for this price to date. and the most wonderful part is they are so so affordable. They come in lots of different shades. They blend amazingly without loosing color, the shimmer colors are dazzling when applied wet and they stay on all day long! What more can you ask for?
Sleek Lips-So when i saw these palettes i had to get them. With four shades in each palette, they each have Matte, gloss and satin finishes so you have plenty of choice. They are perfect for me as a make up artist but they are also perfect for everyone. again the packaging is brilliant and so handy to throw in your handbag it comes with a compact mirror and brush. The colors gorgeous and are quite long lasting. Super happy with this product, and i have to give a special mention Ballet lip palette. A nude palette, I just love this palette so much. Don't know how i ever survived with out it to be honest..
Lip Stick.... Okay... WOW... Seriously... I'm quite speechless at the superior quality of these lip sticks. They are super pigmented, super long lasting, they have a gorgeous creamy texture and without a doubt the quality of a MAC lipstick. Infact i way prefer texture of the SLEEK Lip stick. Its quite insane how good these are considering they are quarter of the price.
Contouring and blush palette in the shade Light- I love it when they do these combos. So handy, especially for carrying around. It contains a bronzer, highlighter and blush. I feel the bronzer isn't as pigmented as the other two but its definitely workable. the highlighter is gorgeous. this is 100% my new go to powder highlighter. It has a beautiful pearly finish. The blusher is a rose gold color, perfect if you want to go with the bronzed look. I also got a blush in the shade Pixie pink and i absolutely love this color. It pairs very well with the blush in the palette. Not disappointed with either of them two products.

Next up we have the cream to powder foundation. Usually i stay well clear of thee foundations as i often find them quite cakey and flat. However i really like these. I have them in two shades, oyster and white rose. These are definitely my new go to everyday foundations. As they are cream to powder foundations i expected them to have more of a powder finish, and they don't but i like that. They are quite good coverage and are so handy and compact and best of all affordable. I'm glad i instead :)
Sleek Bare skin foundation- in the shade Barley. Okay so from the pictures you can tell this shade is a little dark for my pasty white Irish skin tone but it will be perfect in summer for that slightly more bronzed look. This foundation has a medium to heavy coverage. Its super build-able which is awesome. And its ridiculously light weight which is very important to me as i hate heavy foundation. I feel like you are getting plenty of product for your money also so yeah thumbs up for this product...

And the best news yet... I found a dupe for the famous MAC heroine... Its SLEEK (obviously) in the shade EXXXAGGERATE. If you don't have this gorgeous sought after purple tone lipstick i suggest you get it! I have both MAC and SLEEK! The SLEEK one wins my vote ;) (This pic is not in the shade exxxaggerate, i have misplaced it so don't know the shade off hand)

Illuminate in the shade- luminaire 01. I tried this in the store and i didn't think much of it. i found it a bit sticky in texture. I got it home and tried it and i really changed my mind. There is such a gorgeous glow from this product and it works just perfectly over or under foundation. Great wee product!
And last but DEFINITELY not least the Mascara- FULL FAT LASH 421- this Mascara is the bees knees, the cats elbows, you get where I'm going!! I cannot brag enough about this product! Once again the packaging is on point and i love the shape of this brush and how it handles. I think the pictures speak for it self. By the ways this is after just one coat. If you don't have it already then YOU NEED TO GET IT!!
Final Thoughts
