Sleek Gift Box Review and Swatches

Hi! 

As you know from my previous post I had purchased a Silver Sleek Christmas gift box but I also received a Gold Sleek box for Christmas and I thought I'd share my thoughts on each box and the products that came with it.

I love these boxes! After playing with the palettes I would love to buy more eyeshadow palettes!

Sleek Gold Gift Box

Sleek Gold Gift Box

Contents:

i-Divine Bad Girl Palette 596 || Highlighting Palette Precious Metals 029 || Blush By 3 Palette Californ.I.A 370 || Lip 4 Lipstick Palette Mardi Gras 861 || Control Shine & Prime Natural 018 || Full Fat Lash Mascara Blackest Black 421 || Eyebrow Stylist Medium 717

 i-Divine Bad Girl Palette 596

Top: Innocence, Gullible, Blade, Gun Metal, Underground, Noir,

Bottom: Intoxicated, Envy, Obnoxious, Abyss, Twilight, Rebel

This palette contains a lot of dark colours which is perfect for a smoky eye effect. There is more matt shadows in here compared to the i-Divine Original Palette 594.

Highlighting Palette Precious Metals 029

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So pigmented and light! As soon as I swatched this I wanted to put it on my face! It's shimmery and you don't even need a lot.

Blush By 3 Palette Californ.I.A 370

These are very creamy and pigmented. It doesn't feel sticky and it contains natural colours. 

Lip 4 Lipstick Palette Mardi Gras 861

I really don't know how I feel about this product as I'm not a fan of lip palettes but there are some amazing lipsticks in this set. I found the lipsticks on the left really hard to swatch and it was not sticking properly or evenly but I loved the ones on the right because they was easy to put on and not sticky at all. I know that you can mix the colours around to make your own unique colours so I'd love to play more with this palette.

Control Shine & Prime Natural 018

I was so disappointed! I can't really say much about this product because there was hardly anything inside the tube; I did manage to get a small blob. It feels very light and dry. It's perfect for me because I have oily skin.

Full Fat Lash Mascara Blackest Black 421

The design of this mascara is very similar to the Lethal Length Mascara 422 except for the wand. The wand used in this mascara is a little harder to use especially on my bottom lashes as its so big. Ideally I would use this for my top lashes and the Lethal Length Mascara for my bottom lash. 

Eyebrow Stylist Medium 717

I love this item!! I've stopped using all of my other eyebrow kits because this is so much easier. I love the slanted pencil, its shaped as a triangle to you get more control of how thick you want your brows to be.

Sleek Silver Gift Box

Contents: 

i-Divine Original Palette 594|| Eye & Cheek Palette-Dancing Til Dusk 027 || Blush-Flamingo 937 || Brow Kit-Dark 818 || Gloss Me - Fools Gold 442|| Lethal Length Mascara 422

i-Divine Original Palette 594

Top: Black Cab, Royal, London Rain, The Thames, E10, Hyde Park,

Bottom: Cream Tea, London Eye, Big Ben, Penny Farthing, Sterling, Banksy

All I can say is WOW! They're very pigmented and shimmery (except for Black Cab which is Matt). Z loved it! He kept asking me to make a rainbow on his arm. He couldn't stop smiling and that's how I felt with these shades because they're just so fun. 

Eye & Cheek Palette - Dancing Til Dusk 027

This palette is prefect for any handbag. It contains natural colours which you could use everyday and it opens with ease making it perfect for on the go.

Brow Kit - Dark 818

I didn't test this brow kit as I don't normally use dark shades but my sister has been keeping her eyes wide open for this so I might have to give it to her if she asks nicely..

Blush - Flamingo 937

This is such a pretty pink. Its very pigmented like their eyeshadows.

 Lethal Length Mascara - Blackest Black 422

I love the design of this wand because one side is longer than the other. The short side is perfect for using on my bottom lashes and the longer end for the top lashes.

Gloss Me - Fools Gold 442

I have to admit that I am not pleased with this product, its very sticky and feels heavy. The colour didn't show up as much and just look like a clear shimmer.

Boxing Day Haul

Hi!

So Christmas has come and gone and what else is left except to hit the sales! I love my bargains!!!
This year I restricted myself to just a few shops and avoided the supermarket.

Boots

Boots this year disappointed me because there wasn't much so I only spent £6.24.

Botanics All Bright Micellar 3-in-1 Cleansing Solution £2.24 || Royal Jelly Hand Cream £2 || Glitter Babes Bath Fizzer Set £2

I bought the hand cream for my mum because she loves her hand creams and my little sister love her bath fizzers so I bought her the set. I've recently found that my face has become more oily and so I thought I'd give the Botanics solution a try.

Mothercare
I was in search for some new long sleeved PJs for Z as its become very cold and his old long sleeved PJs have grown small so I decided to look in Mothercare. I spent about £47 altogether.

PJ Set of 2 £6 || Rocket Pants  £3 || Spiderman Pants £3 || Thomas the Tank Engine Pants £1

I always buy extra pants as Z still have accidents and I was shocked at the price of the Thomas pants because the sticker said £3 but when I paid it said £1! £1 for 5 pairs of pants is such a bargain!

I got a few bits for my friend's babies and I have no prices for individual items as I lost the receipt but the items ranges from £3 to £8.

Superdrug

Every year I look forward to Superdrug's Sale because they have amazing discounts. This year was no difference except that a lot of stock was already gone by the time I got there but I did manage to do a fair bit of shopping and all I spent about £37 on this haul.

I bought a lot of Kinder Surprise gift houses as they were £0.99 each and I had a boxing day party to go to so I thought I'd get some for the kids there. 

Leafy & Lively Bath Fizzer £0.99 || Princess Pink Bath Fizzer £0.99 || Princess Pink Bath Fizzer £0.10

Lately I have been obsessed with bath fizzers (bath bombs). I haven't been using them in the bath but leaving them out in rooms like potpourri. I normally go to Lush but this year I thought I'd stay local.

Studio Brush Set £4.99 ||  EcoTools Brush Set £4.99

I opened the boxes to see how soft the brushes were. The Ecotool set was less softer than the Studio ones but it was still very soft.

Sweet Snuggles Blanket £1.99

I love the colour of blanket but it wasn't as soft as I would like but I needed to get a small blanket to keep in S car for when Z falls asleep during car journeys.

Studio Spotty Glass Nail File Duo £0.99 || Studio Purple Glass Nail File Duo £0.99 || Flutter Nail File Trio £0.49 || Lipsy Trio Nail File £0.49

I just went crazy with nail files. I have to file my nails at least once a fortnight as my nails chip very easily. I ended up giving some to my sisters because they're always stealing mine.

Bubble Bath Pods £0.10 Each

Z loves his baths and I loved the designs on them. I'm not too keen on using the bath bubble because Z has very sensitive skin so we just use them to play games with.

Sleek Silver Giftset £9.99

Out of all of the bargains I love my Sleek Giftset because it was a bargain! I had received the Sleek GOLD giftset for Christmas and they contain different items. Even the staff at Superdrug was shocked at the price!

What bargains did you manage to pick up in the boxing day sales?
