Sleek PPQ Me, Myself, and Eye Look #5

Hello Everyone,

As I was saying before, I'm on the mission to use the shades from Sleek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette that I would not normally use. So for today's look, I randomly selected two shades that I think most people would probably not put together. But I am me, and something like that never stopped me :)



I think my makeup matched the "nice" fall day here in UK, or at least it matched my mood which was just ok. I felt like dressing up and going early Christmas shopping for the family because we're ALWAYS late with our gifts and I decided to NOT be late this year! So there! Gifts will go out early lol.




I actually have GOSH lipgloss on, but because the day was so fugly pretty, it looks like I have nothing on.






I didn't realized, but Supernova matches my sweater exactly! That made me happy for some reason. :) And I also want to know why is that dark green called Blue Monday? I don't see it as blue, I see it as very dark green. Am I crazy, or is my lightning playing tricks with me?

What do you think? Would you try this shade combo?

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself & Eye Look #4

Hello my Funky Readers,

I have a pretty boring look for you today. Well, boring by my standards that is ;P


I actually wore this look twice in a row, but I didn't take any photos the first time because it was so FUGLY outside I didn't want to deal with it. Guess what? Today is also super FUGLY, but today I felt more up to messing with my camera settings. My husband will be proud, since he is always complaining about how I won't learn my camera.






Turns out, I really don't like these shades! They are great in terms of application and lasting power, but I'm not partial to these particular colors. It could be because every other shade in the palette is overshadowed by that "letter Z in reverse" that's right in between this green and lavender.



Which shades should I use next for a look?

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself and Eye Look #3

Hello Everyone,

I'm back with another look using Skeek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette and this time I've used my three favorite shades. I'm sure it wasn't that hard to guess which shade is my favorite, seeing how I always gravitate towards various reds.
~*~*~
На третий день я  использовала три моих любимых оттенка. Я уверена, что какие мои любимые  было не трудно догадаться,  видя, как я всегда возвращаюсь к различным красным тонам...



I simply love those three shades! I think I can go on and on with creating looks with them and not get tired.
~*~*~
Я просто люблю эти три оттенка! Я думаю, что смогу создавать и создавать с ними и не устану.



I'm using Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in Anemone on my lips and I simply love that stuff! It's my favorite balm at the moment.
~*~*~
На губах Covergirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm бальзам/глосс? (как на Русском называется а? А то я эти термины в Украине не выучила, а потом в Америке мне как-то не надо было хаха) и я просто люблю эту вешь! Это мой любимый бальзам на данный момент.








I know that I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I simply can't tell you enough just how much I love those three shades! But I need to give some love to the other shades in the palette, so I promise I'll have something different for the next FOTD.
~*~*~
Ну что я могу еще сказать? Повторить что люблю я эти три оттенка, люблю!! Но обещаю Я обязательно еще что-нибудь другое для следующей FOTD сделаю, с другими оттенками.

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself and Eye Look #2

Hello My Funky Readers,

Today's looks is also from a month ago. This time I tried to combine two shades in a different way, and also added a third shade as an eyeliner sort of way.



Pink Beret is surprisingly pigmented. Like amazingly so! I keep reaching for it along with Supernova... shame on me, but I can't help it :) I've also added another shade to my favorites, but I won't tell you what it is until I re-create some looks! (Although I bet you won't have any trouble guessing which one).








And a picture of my lips. Except I'm not sure what I've used... Whoops! But I know that I've done this combo before, so it is either a Gosh Lip Stain or MaxFactor Lip Stain along with one of Gosh lipglosses.


Have you been using this palette? Or are you waiting for spring? Since it is inspired by PPQ spring collection.

Sleek PPQ Me, Myself and Eye Look #1

Hello Everyone,

I got Sleek's Me, Myself, and Eye palette and while back. Well... actually I got it the second it was released, because I'm suck a Sleek palettes junkie, but that's besides the point right? Then I did some looks, then I disappeared into the schoolwork hell for a month, and didn't take pictures of all those looks. But since my schoolwork is not too bad right now, and I got my blogging mojo back, I'm here to rectify!

This look is over a month old, and since it was my first time using the palette I haven't figured out which shades I like yet. Although... I'm pretty spot on :)



I'm pretty disappointed with the Chris de Burgundy shade. It might look pretty pigmented in the pictures, but let me tell you it took a LOT to get there! I don't know if it's just my palette, but this shade is just so hard to use! It's like it doesn't want to be used :( Such a shame too, because it had the potential of being my favorite.



 Supernova on the lid, Pink Beret on the inner corner, and Chris de Burgundy as a statement. One of Collection 2000 Cream Puffs on my lips. At that time I still held hope that I will like them. Alas, the hope is now gone.







I didn't know at the time, but Supernova and Pink Beret will end up being my favorites. In fact, I've been using this palette for a week straight and I am yet to touch any other shades! Of course, I don't have any photos but I think I will recreate the looks. I even had random people comment on them. which is pretty cool.

Do you have this palette? If yes, what's your favorite shade?

Sleek Caribbean Curacao Love #8 Color blocking

Hello Everyone,

As much as I love Curacao, I'm starting to get tired of it... after all this is my 8th look! In reality, I've done more looks than I've posted, but the rest of them I didn't take any photos. So I've been playing with this palette for a long time and I'm ready to move on to something different. Plus I think we all can agree that I've given it a lot of love.

For my last look I've decided to do some color blocking. I've been hearing all about it as the fall trend, and I've come to the conclusion that I've always liked it, just never knew the proper name for those crazy color combinations. For once, I'm actually with the trend instead of doing my own thing.


I've decided that I needed to use the pink shade, since it barely got any love from me.






Actually there is one shade that I didn't even touch, the orange one! As much as I love reds in eye shadows, I really dislike orange (or that particular shade at least).

I tried to take the color blocking to the next level with Collection 2000 Cream Puff in Fairy Cake. I actually had such high hopes for this shade, it was my favorite out of all of them but alas.. I really really HATE it on my lips! I don't think the shade works for me at all. :( I had a suspicion that I won't look good in orange toned lip products, and now I know for sure.

What do you think?
