sleek makeup blush - rose gold

Blush in Rose Gold - £4.49

I picked this blusher up in Superdrug a while ago & kind of forgot I had it until I rediscovered it the other day! Firstly, the colour is an absolutely gorgeous peachy coral shade, with plenty of gold shimmer, I personally don't think my images do it justice, even though I used natural lighting this afternoon... sigh. The blusher adds a nice highlight thanks to the gold flecks that gently sparkle when sweeped across your cheeks. It applies like an actual dream, it is velvety soft & well pigmented, I only need to swirl my brush in the pan once & add a little onto my cheeks. Originally I wasn't sure the colour would suit me as I am ridiculously pale, but it is actually a good tone for my skin & gives me a healthy glow! The matte black packaging feels pretty sturdy, especially considering the price & the mirror is a handy feature for on the go touch ups. Finally, I have heard this product is a dupe for Nars Orgasm & looking at the images online I can see a definite resemblance, if you own Orgasm let me know what you think!?

Have you tried any Sleek products?

wednesday wishlist #5

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine

Red Tartan Scarf: forever running into any h&m store I see to try & track down this damn scarf! no luck so far, & I'm really unwilling to pay postage for one little item...

Lord Pug Necklace: I love pugs, so how could I say no to this!?

Teddy Robe: So snuggly & cozy, perfect for the chilly nights that are already here! 

Christmas Cookie Yankee Candle: My sister bought a little sampler of this last year, it's such a sweet vanilla scent, very similar to my all time favourite Vanilla cupcake, but as the holidays are approaching a Christmassy version makes sense!

Ren Skincare Kit for Normal Skin: Possibly already bought this as it was available on ASOS earlier with 25% off! I'm looking forward to trying out some decent skincare products.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star: I'm yet to try a Soap & Glory moisturiser, but I have so much love for their products & the packaging is extra cute too!

Models Own Wonderland Collection: I already own far too many glitter polishes, but a few more can't hurt right!?

Topshop Crescent Moon Highlighter: I've actually been meaning to pick this up for a while now, everyt ime I'm in store I swatch it but never seem to walk out with it! I know this shade would be a nice match for my ghostly pale skin too (:

ASOS Cable Knit Mittens: These even have fleecy lining, my hands would be so snug! I wish these were available in cream, burgundy or navy though as the red & cobalt blue options wouldn't match with much in my wardrobe.

october favourites

John Frieda Full Repair Styling Spray - I'm planning on doing a review on the Full Repair range as I got sent a few items to try out, this product smells so good & protects my hair from heat damage.

Johnson's Dreamy Skin Night Facial Cleansing Wipes - I've used these for absolutely years, but because this is my first 'monthly favourites' post I thought I'd include them. I know people say makeup wipes are bad, blah blah blah, but these smell delicious, are soft on my skin & do a pretty good job at removing everything.

MUA Pro Brow Kit - I did a full review on this here, I've used it everyday for the past couple of weeks, it's a great kit & I can't see myself ever going back to my old eyeshadow now.

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Antibacterial Cleansing Gel - I've had a couple of bottles of this & will always repurchase, it's a definite necessary living in London & catching the tube... it's the nicest smelling hand sanitizer ever to!

Miracle Oil - This is of course a dupe of the much raved about Moroccan Oil, which sadly I can't afford... I picked this up from Aldi for only £4 & it makes my hair much easier to manage. I add a couple of drops to the palm of my hands & smooth it through the ends whilst my hair is damp.

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation - Probably my favourite foundation I've ever tried! It's the perfect shade for my skin, lasts all day & is great coverage. I can't recommend this foundation enough!

Figs & Rouge Rambling Rose Balm - I got this ages ago in a Glossybox, its really moisturising on the lips but it can also be used on your skin, I have a really awful anxiety habit of picking the skin around my nails & when I apply this it soothes the skin, resulting in a quicker healing process.

What are your October favourites?

my week in photos #9

I need to start getting back into doing these posts each Sunday as I enjoy having a little summary of my week & it'll be nice to look back on in say, a years time & reminisce on what I got up to! I have actually included a few of my favourite photos from the past few weeks because I didn't want to miss them out, so really this post should be renamed as 'what i've been upto' but I'd prefer to keep the little series going. If you don't already follow me on Instagram my username is 'loulabeth'.

I'm now tucked up in bed, about to start revising for my exam tomorrow morning, my degree is pretty demanding, 2 exams & 2 assessments this week so I'll probably be quiet on the blogging scene again! :( On a nice note though, I've lit my Vanilla Cupcake Yankee candle & have a bar of Cadbury's fruit & nut chocolate to get me through!
