I recently purchased the ELF brush shampoo as you Will see from earlier posts , so today I decided to trial it firstly the bottle is much smaller than the image portrays it is actually only 120ml and I expected much bigger bottle considering it is a shampoo it currently retails for £3.50 and you can purchase it direct from ELF at www.eyeslipsface.co.uk . My brushes were in desperate need of a good clean so I decided to do my foundation brush or should I say one of my foundation brushes first , and tbh I wasn't that impresses it took 4 squirts of the shampoo to get it even vaguely clean and to be honest I have had better results using baby shampoo so I shall not be repurchasing at all. As an aside In the end I used the ELF brush cleaner spray in the end to clean my remaining brushes and that fared much better and also retails at £3.50. just simply sprayed them and wiped using a baby wipe. What brush cleaner do you use lovely ladies ? can you recommend me a reasonably priced one that will not take me an age to clean my brushes with.

Okay so I have a confession I bought this set as a gift for someone and then decided to keep it myself

sorry cannot make image bigger but it is a nail set from Scarlett & crimson the ladies behind Ruby & Millie a younger persons range if you will with 2 slightly gothic girls as the characters on the packaging anyways thought it was the perfect gift for someone I know who has a slightly gothic vibe going on (they are a student and younger than me) but as I'm poorly sick at the mo I thought Id keep it myself oops. It contains 3 nail polishes in black , silver and a very pale opalescent pink , toe separators , a  cuticle pusher , nail transfers gothic inspired and tweezers to assist in using the transfers it was £12 and is currently in the boots 3 for 2.

I used the silver and in two coats and a top coat of seche vite it looks pretty good I think not too much of a glittery silver if ya know what I mean.




I today purchased two sleek products from superdrug , a pout polish in powder pink an an eyeshadow palette in sunset.

The pout polish has an sp15 and I believe has been featured in a recent magazine article it comes in 5 different shades electro peach, powder pink, pink Cadillac , chocolate kiss and perfect plum and are £3.99 each. Here's what sleek say about it on their website

'A tinted lip conditioning balm formulated with natural oils such as Almond Oil, Shea Butter, Avocado Extract and Vitamin A, C and E to help condition the lips and lock in moisture.

It also includes SPF15 to help protect the lips from sun exposure'

I purchased powder pink and found it great to apply and feels very moisturising on the lips and the colour isn't too sheer either , I haven't included a pic of it on I'm afraid as I have a cold sore yuck !! ( first time I have ever had one). Anyway here some pics for you









Next I bought a sleek palette in sunset , I already have the original , and have the bad gal , good gal & storm version on the way from a facebook sale that sleek did. They are such well pigmented eye shadows and great value at £5.99 each so a great price to try out colours you wouldn't normally try



 They have good lasting power these shadow and I think the palette is a handy size to put in your handbag.

You can buy sleek products at your local superdrug or at www.sleekmakeup.com 








Here is my nails of the day using a Nails Inc polish in Jermyn street , I got this free with my glamour subscription which is out now and their is a choice of 4 different colours. I really liked this think it is a great nude colour


ELF is a brand I have recently discovered  and I must say I have been very impressed with the products I have purchased which have mainly been from their studio range and their mineral range most of these are priced at £3.50 each though they do a lower price range starting from £1.50. I ordered these today and I will include swatches and reviews once they have arrived and I have tested them.
