Hey guys,

I recently picked up this technic eyeshadow palette in a budget beauty shop near me. I had heard of this brand before but I had never bought any of their products. I got this for £1.99. They were also selling another pallet that kind of reminded me of the sunset palette from sleek, but I didn't fancy the colours in that one so only picked up this one.  


The palette is basically the same packaging as all the sleek palettes.




I was really surprised with how pigmented this turned out to be. All of these swatches were done with one swipe of the colour. I am in love with the olive green shade but haven't worn it on my eyes yet. I don't think it will go with my blue hair :P. I can't believe the colours are so good for something that was £1.99 it works out at about 17p per eyeshadow! If you see this product I would definitely recommend picking it up.

Hey guys,

I've been on a real pallet buying frenzy at the moment and have got a lot more to show you coming soon. I really like sleek makeup and have owned the acid pallet for years. I also used to use their liquid eyeliner (which is my fav liquid liner) until I switched to using there gel liner when the liquid ran out. I've been wanting to get all the pallets for a while but decided to wait until superdrug was doing a 3 for 2 as it would save me a bit of money as sleek have gone up in price since I first bought the acid pallet.

Today I wanted to show you the original pallet as it is really good quality, super pigmented and cheap in comparison to buying single eyeshadows as you get twelve different shades for £7.99 which works out £0.66 ish per shadow. I also wanted to show you this one to start with as I've got 7 more sleek pallets to show you and felt I should start with the original :P

On with the swatches. (sorry about the quality I had to take these on my phone)

All the colours are super pigmented. Most are shimmer/ metallic apart from the black which is black which suits me fine as I'm not a massive fan of matte shades. This is without flash 


Same as above but with flash. Some colours took more than one swipe to build up the colour such as the darkest blue and the purple but other than that most are the result of one swipe. 
The pallet without flash. I love all the shades but my favourite are the two in the bottom right corner the gold and the olive green. All these colours are amazing for this season and could create really great daytime and party looks alike. 

The pallet with flash. All colours come out true to how they look in the pallet and are such good value for money. I really recommend this pallet and the older sleek pallets as some of the latest releases such as the vintage romance pallet are not as well pigmented. Also the black shades are a lot more true black in the older releases as they are more charcoal in the newer pallets.

The back of the packaging is good as it says the name of the pallet so you don't have to open all the pallets to find the one you were initially looking for.

Hope you enjoyed

Dyeing My Hair Turquoise

Hey Guys,

Just before going to uni I decided that I was going to go from dark brunette hair to bright turquoise
blue/ green.  That was about 5 weeks ago and I had to re-dye my hair last weekend as the dye is semi permanent so does fade.

To take my hair from brunette to turquoise I first had to bleach it. I used Live Color XXL Colour Intense Blonde Absolute Platinum twice to take my hair to light blonde.


 After I had bleached it twice I tried to tone it to get out the brassy tones with touch of silver but I dont think this worked and so my hair was a bit greener in patches.


The first time I dyed it. With Directions Turquoise 




My hair today, I'm wearing my new wolverine tee. 

Hope you enjoy, leave some comments if any of you have crazy coloured hair like me :P
