Sleek brows

The colour of my brows is pretty defined and naturally dark so I’ve never thought about using any brow kits or colour enhancements. However, recently I’ve seen the Sleek Make-up Brow Kit and as it was buy 2 for 3 promotion at Superdrug I decided to go for it, as was already buying some eye shadows from the brand.

The Brow Kit from Sleek Make-up is available at Superdrug, RRP £7.99, and it comes in two shades: light and dark. I bought the dark option as my brows are dark already.

The packaging is very sleek and has this high end finish.

In this kit you get a pigmented wax (seen on the right, in the darker colour) and a setting powder that is lighter in colour. There is also an angled brush that helps shape the brows (to use with the wax), a more rounded blending brush for the setting powder and tiny tweezers that helps remove any stray hair.

The product itself looks good when applied and delivers to its promise. As inexperienced in this field, it took me forever to apply it but as always, practice makes perfect! See below for the before and after shots of me. There isn't massive difference, which I'm glad about, as I wouldn't like this to look obvious. My face looks a bit more defined with the brows being groomed using this product. What's your take on the below?

I’d use this product again; however, I need to practice a bit more with application. Do you use brow kits? If so, which one is your favourite? Let us know either by leaving a comment below or on our twitter account @beautyu!

Au Naturel from Nude Collection by Sleek Make-up

It wasn’t until yesterday that I’ve discovered the Sleek Make-up company! I know it took me some time! I’ve been flicking through the December’s issue of Glamour and saw the Au Naturel eye palette from the Nude Collection and decided to get it as am a neutral colours fanatic. The very affordable price (RRP £6.49) makes this palette even more appealing. It’s available in Superdrug across the UK. 

Check out the product below:

Divine Eye Palette - Au Naturel from Nude Collection - RRP £6.49 at Superdrug

It comes in a very (excuse the pun!) sleek packaging. Looks very much like a high end product!

Those are the colours: from top left: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe and from the bottom left: Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir

Those are the swatches of the nude top colours. I know it's hard to see them properly as they are very natural looking. From the left you can see: Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast and Taupe.

Here you can see the swatches of the bottom, darker colours. From the left: Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir

Here's my eye made-up using a few colours from the palette! I've made the black liner with the use of the Noir colour!

This palette is very handy and brings all the colours I love together so it’s a winner for me! Have I mentioned they are mineral based! Even better as I love my mineral make-up! The only disappointment is the aplicator, hence I used my own brushes to apply the product!

The combination of the matte and the shimmer colours makes this palette so much more versatile and wearable for both day and night make-up! Are you a neutrals girl like me or do you like experimenting with different colours? Let us know on Twitter @beautyu!

Stay beautiful!
