Sleek Mediterranean Collection/FOTD


So last Wednesday (8th June) Sleek came out with a fabulous collection called the Mediterranean collection. I manged to get mine on the Friday, I literally ran to Superdrug haha

It comes with:
"Inspired by the Mediterranean, this 12 shade palette is the perfect addition to your summer make-up. Choose from sunset oranges and browns, or breezy turquoise to highlight your holiday tan! Best worn with our hot pink Monte Carlo pout polish and Santorini blush to achieve the perfect Mediterranean summer look."  - from the website. 


 Monaco eyeshadow palette
Top L-R: Bamboo, Aquamarine, Midnight garden, Sunset, Washed Ashore, Magenta Madness
Bottom L-R:  Summer Breeze, Sand Walker, Kiwi Zest, Lotus Flower, Humming Bird, Moors Treasure

This palette is AMAZING!! The colours are SO pigmented, as you can see from the picture below. I saw a post on this by Bubblegarm and I was SO SO excited to purchase this collection. My favourite's are...OK so I just tried to pick my favourite and I can't haha


 Monte Carlo Pout Polish it comes out very sheer, but it does give your lips a nice touch of colour. And it doesn't give you that gross sticky thing that some lip glosses do.

Santorini blush
Santorini blush is INSANE, when I saw it I could not believe the vibrancy of this colour. It does not fail once on the skin, it is very build-able, but if I went any brighter I would have looked like a clown or an 80s reject haha
I couldn't be more happy with this collection. I give it 5 out of 5. If you do not own this collection, go get it NOW!!!! You can get Sleek at Superdrugs or on the Sleek website. Seriously get it before its sold out :)

Here are two eye looks I tried out, while I was playing with the palette..
NOTE: Please ignore the terrible state my eyebrows are in, they need serious plucking.

 The colours used were: Kiwi Zest first part of the lid and Humming bird on the outer corner of the lid and bamboo as a highlight.

Sandwalker on the main part of the lid and Moors Treasure on the outer part of the lid and Bamboo as a highlight.

So after playing around I decided to do a full face of make up using the entire collection.




I would run to your nearest superdrug and get this collection the blush and pout polish were going fast. I luckily got the LAST Santorini on the shelf...yay me :-)

  1. Your last face is very cute :L I'm tempted by the palette and the blush, think I'll pick those up, but I'll pass on the Pout Polish - I like my colour intense.
