Matte Me Shades: Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Rioja Red, Party Pink, Petal & Birthday Suit

Gloss Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each
Matte Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each

Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me

Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.

Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.

Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.

Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..

On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..


Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p

T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush

Here is it on me..

L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red

I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.

Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

Sleek Vintage Romance Collection Palette has 12 shades..only one is matte..rest 11 are satin/metallic/glitter finish.

Very pigmented..and stays well..longer with a primer..does not crease for a good 6-7 hours even without a primer.

I loved the names in this palette..all related to Vintage Romance and different cities like Pretty in Paris, Romance in Rome, etc

Only one matte shade in the palette..and that is a little drier and less pigmented..rest are decently pigmented especially the 2nd row..

Overall a perfect fall/winter palette..lovely mix of metallic neutrals and warm pinks/purples..and a navy blue and blackened green thrown in between..I loved the combo..though would have liked a few more mattes..

Sleek MakeUP Vintage Romance collection also consists of a blush named Antique..comes in the tradeamark Sleek MakeUP rectangular black blush packaging..with a mirror..

MRP: £4.49

R-L: Blended, Unblended

MRP: £8.99 (Around Rs.760-800/-)


Directions and Ingredients:


Siren is a combo of amazing corals and oranges..Ballet has pretty nudes..Tease is filled up with hot reds..and Showgirl has hot hot pinks..

It comes in a square black trademark Sleek MakeUP packaging..a little bigger than the Brow Kit..and comes with a nice big mirror and a small lip brush..

The palette has a combo of gloss, satin and matte finishes..satin is a little easier to work with than matte..small water droplets you see on any finish..thats satin..

I have got Showgirl and Tease for you..

T-B: Vegas, Lola, Jewel, Dancer

Showgirl

Vegas – Matte bright candy pink
Lola – Glossy raisin berry pink
Jewel – Satin cool toned bright pink
Dancer – Glossy barbie pale pink

Clockwise L-R: Vegas, Lola, Jewel, Dancer
T-B: Spotlight, Show Off, Paris, Dita

Tease

Spotlight – Glossy classic blue based red
Show Off – Matte Bright Coral
Paris – Glossy bright true red
Dita – Satin watermelon pinky red

Clockwise L-R: Spotlight, Show Off, Paris, Dita

Its a perfect travel companion..and shades can also be mixed and matched..I am amazed by the pigmentation..these are super pigmented and leave a strong stain behind..

Only issue is glossy shades are too soft and creamy…they would get a little messy..and also they transfer easily and don’t stay on for long..matte shades need to be layered and neatly applied..I love the satin finish the most..can also be used with fingers and dabbed on lightly like a stain..they are stiff unlike the glossy which would dent your finger in :/ These are only available online..

Overall these are pretty amazing..the colors, combo, different finishes and the brush and mirror..make it ideal for travel..and if you love reds you surely going to love Tease coz all the shades are wearable..in Showgirl I liked Lola and Jewel the most..

These would be available online on sleekmakeup.com or Superdrug stores from 8th May,2013..

Celebrate Sleek MakeUP’s notorious eye shadows, with SHOWSTOPPERS!

It would be available on the Sleek website from 10th April,2013.

MRP: £7.99

When I first saw the names of the shadows, I was kinda surprised..what they have done is..they took one shade from each of their 12 permanent i- Divine palettes..and named them after the palette..

So we have Storm, Paraguaya, Oh So Special, Bad Girl, etc..

Its a standard Sleek MakeUP Palette black packaging..with 12 shadows of 1.1g each and a mirror and a double sided sponge applicator..

Shadows are a mix of matte and satin finish..matte ones being not as pigmented as the satin ones..but the shades sure are amazing..stay on well..and blend smoothly too..

Paraguaya is a matte nude peach..hardly visible..good for blending
Sunset is satin finish burgundy
Me, Myself & Eye is a frost finish white..works great as a highlighter
Bad Girl is satin finish olive green..love this shade..
Noir is satiny bluish grey
Ultramattes V2 is a matte deep black.

Oh So Special is a matte grey..not too pigmented
Bohemian is a matte coral..makes a good blush
Storm is a matte navy blue
Sparkle is frost pink..again a highlighter
Au Natural is a matte deep plum with silver shimmer..its Festive from Sparkle 2 Palette
Graphite is satin finish light milky brown

Overall quite a nice mix of colors..and mix of matte and satin shades..good highlighters and a pretty dark matte black..matte blending shades..and a nice olive green, grey, burgundy, plum and brown..shades which are quite wearable..

Personally for me..I love wearing plums, browns, greys and burgundy, olive greens for weddings, etc..plus a matte black and two highlighters just completes the palette..I am loving every new palette of Sleek MakeUP..but there are a few which are quite suited for our warm skin tones..and quite wearable..this is one of those..I am loving it as much as my Sparkle 2 and Oh So Special 🙂

These are online exclusive and do check online at www.sleekmakeup.com

Launch: April 10th 2013

Deep Water is a matte grape purple
Reflection is a pale shimmery lilac

Available in matte and sheen finishes these new additions provide you with lippies that will keep you abreast of trends, no matter what look or occasion you are opting for…now that’s lip service!

Try Loved Up for a playful pink, Tangerine scream for a zesty orange shade or Smoulder for berry perfection.

 True Colour Lipstick shades are highly pigmented, available in matte or sheen finishes and created to compliment all skin tones.
 Contains Vitamin E to keep your lips hydrated and protects your pout against harmful free radicals.
 Prestige quality lipsticks for the High street

MRP:  $6.49 for 3.5g 

Pro Tips: Mix and match sheen and matte lipsticks to create unique lip looks.

Apply Luminaire Highlighting Concealer to prime your lips before applying a True Colour.

Ingredients:  Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Polybutene, Isononyl Isononanoate, Polyethylene, Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Diisostearyl Malate, Microcrystalline wax, Beeswax, Simmondsiachinensis (Jojoba) seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Mica, Titanium dioxide, D&C Red No. 6, D&C Red No. 7, D&C Red No. 27, Iron Oxide Yellow, Iron Oxide Red, Iron Oxide Black, FD&C Blue No. 1, CI 77019, CI 77891, CI 15850, CI 45410, CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499, CI 42090.

Sleek MakeUP lipsticks come in their trademark black rubbery finish packaging..shorter in size..and flip tight..good enough to carry

Loved Up is a super bright shocking blue based pink..another dupe to MAC Girl About Town I guess after Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia…I love love loveee this shade..wore it to a wedding with my neon yellow anarkali 😉

Russian Roulette is a deep red with slight blue undertones..dupe for MAC Russian Red or Viva Glam I ? This red would suit both warm and cool skin tones equally well.

T: Russian Roulette B: Loved Up

Pigmentation is just amazing…full packed color in just one swipe..it would cover pigmented lips too..Sheen ones are obviously creamy and Matte formula is also not very dry or uncomfortable..

Sheen ones stay on for 3-4 hours..and matte stays quiet longer and leaves behind a stain.

And on me..

Pros:

1. Super gorgeous shades..
2. Highly pigmented.
3. Good staying power.
4. Matte formula is not uncomfortably drying.
5. Very economical..these are the best quality lipsticks I have tried at this price..
6. Contains beeswax, castor oil and jojoba oil.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue..they are available online HERE

No other cons I can think of..I am in love with these lipsticks..love both the shades..especially Loved Up !! Highly recommended..

Other shades I like are Tangerine Scream (dupe of MAC Morange) and Plush..
