#BigBlogmasproject2014 Day 1 - Xmas Shopping FOTD

I'm so excited now its December as I love this month for playing with make up, so what better way to kick off the Bigblogmasproject2014 then with a FOTD!

I wore this recently for heading out Xmas shopping, it was quick and easy and didn't look overly done.

For base it was a mix of the two Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude in Soft Beige and Ivory. Concealer was Bobbi Brown creamy concealor. Onto eyes and I used Collection Eyeshadow Pencil in Vanilla Sky all over before using Mac Cork in the crease. Liner was Espresso by Laura Mercier. Mascara was Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro. Brows are Benefit Browzing. On the cheeks for some colour is Sleek's Rose Gold. Onto lips and this is Maybelline's Colour Drama pencil in Keep it Classy which stays put for the day but adds a bit of winter berryness.

I love simple make up like this for a day out as it needs no touching up, but I can't wait to ramp up the glitter a bit this month!

What do you think of my Xmas Shopping FOTD? xx

Sleek Pout Polish - Bonaire

Afternoon all, I hope this post finds you safe and well where ever you live.


I'm totally shocked by what has been going on around the country, especially those in central London.


Any how, I think I'm a bit late on the bandwagon with this post as it now seems to have vanished from the shelves, however I only managed to hunt this down last Monday!


I'm fairly new to Sleek make up, I have the Storm Palette which I adore, but I always stop by the stand in my local Superdrug.

I've read a lot of posts about orange lip colours for the summer season, but the thought of applying a lipstick filled me with fear, I struggle to apply normal coloured lipstick, so a tinted balm is much more me!

I picked up the Sleek Bonaire Pout Polish and was amazed at just how orange it really was. I applied it using my finger and was pleased with the result.





The consistency of the polish is very to a Vaseline lipbalm, and the colour payoff is just enough to tick the orange lip trend. If you wanted to deepen the colour you could layer it over an orange lipstick or lipliner.


The colour lasted about 2 hours before it needed to be reapplied, and wasn't gloopy at all. The only downside to this is that it gets gloopy in the pot when it is hot, and I don't think I will get it all used before it's no longer 'in fashion.'


What do you think of this Pout Polish? Are there any other ones I should pick up?
