Sleek Makeup Featuring I-Dust

Hello Lovelies and welcome back.
So, I recently purchased from Sleek Makeup, its located in London. Sleek are know for their palletes. I personally own the Sleek Acid palette. Even though I have the sleek acid palette I have never purchased from them. The palette was a gift. I placed a order on the 29th of August and recieved it September 10th. That is very fast shipping for something being in another country. Each of their I-Dust are 3.99. They are packaged in 6.5 gram jars with a sifter. I was very pleased and excited to find out that, that the shipping from London to Kansas was only $2.45. That is very cheap compared to some of the US prices. OK, on to the pigments themselves.
I- Dust pigment in breathless. This pigment is a very pretty blue with almost a green tone to it when you look at it in certain light. I am very glad that I purchased this color cause as its name it is very breathless. Good job sleek on this one :)

I-Dust pigment in So Sleek. This a pink fuchsia colored pigment with lots of sparkle to it.
 

I-Dust pigment in sunfest. I don't know what to say about this one. I think that this one was a matte but since the describition didn't say anything about each of the different color I didn't know that until I tried it out. I think maybe it I add some shimmer to it I may like it. This is a very bright and vivid yellow.

I really love sleeks packaging. Here is a photo of what the pigments look like in their jars.

Each swatch was taken over NYX jumbo pencil in Milk and taken with flash.

Each of the pigments here where taken over bare skin. If you have never understood or tried  primer, this and the previous photo shows you how much primer changes what a pigment looks like. You don't have to spend a lot on primer. When I started using primer I just used some cheap clear lipstick, that didn't cost much.
Hope that you enjoyed this little post on sleek
as always

Birchbox September 2013

Hello lovelies,
I recently got my 2nd month of Birchbox in my mailbox. Woohoo right?
I have been receiving Birchbox's off and on for the back 2 years. I tend to get very bored with Birchbox in a few months. My first month I signed up in the middle of the month and had received it the 22nd. The box I received was smashed completely, which everything inside was ruined. Birchbox did replace the box but I got it in September and that is why i didn't do a post on August's Birchbox. One thing that I like about Birchbox than Ipsy, Birchbox has better shipping time and gets to your door faster than Ipsy. I will say I love almost everything in this months package! Are you ready for a peak?
Ruffian Nail Polish.
This polish is a douchrome olive green polish. I really don't paint my nails cause I suck at it, however the size and packaging of it, is so cute.
The full size collection with contains three colors in this size is $24.00 and can be purchased at the link below. Since this is in this months box the shipping is free!

Coastal Scents Day to Night mini sampler. I absolutely love getting samples from coastal scents. I have a total of like 6 different ones of these and love them. Out of the 4 colors I am loving the two top browns. Shocking right? They would be great for linner and inner corner colors.
The normal retail price for their pallete that contains these 4 beautiful colors is $39.00. Yikes, but don't worry that also includes three makeup brushes. Again with this item you will receive free shipping cause this is in Septembers box.

Caudalie makeup remover/cleansing water. I am really excited to try this out. I haven't tried a lot of face wash. I have my dedicated makeup remover and I find it stupid to spend a lot of money on this when I can get good remover for cheaper. however the fullsize bottle of this really isn't to bad of a price.

Last but not least. Amika Blow up Spray. This is for all hair types, which will be nice. I have very dried out brittle hair. This will give your hair more volume to it when you blow dry your hair. I don't usually blow dry my hair, but it will be a great Christmas gift to give my mother.
 
That's a wrap for today! Please look tomorrow for a new post!
As always
