REVIEW: Sleek's i-Candy Eyeshadow Palette.

Hey guys! Today I'm here with a review and this time it's on Sleek's i-Candy eyeshadow palette -which is apart of their i-Divine palette range. This particular palette is full of bright, candy inspired colours and they have equally sweet names to match.


The shadows range from matte, shimmer and frost finishes. Let's take a closer look at the shadows...


So, on the first row of the palette from the left, we have Strawberry Sherbet which is a Barbie bright, matte pink. It's quite nicely pigmented and blends fairly well.

Next we have Bon Bon which is a frosty light pink. It's very pretty and looks lovely in the light.

Parma Violet is a deep matte purple and one of my favourites from the palette. It's well pigmented and is buildable too, which I like.


Apple Sour is frosty apple green which can look a little blue in certain lights.

Pear Drop is a shimmery lime green, it looks quite yellow in some lights but is pretty nonetheless.

Flump is a beautiful, bold purple shade. It's fairly pigmented and has a matte finish.


On to the second row of the palette, we have Liquorice which is a matte black - it's a nice black for soft look but it is not the most pigmented.

Then, we have Blue Fizzle which is a grey kind of toned blue. It's quite a deep, metallic shade.

Aniseed is next and this is frosty and shimmery reddy pink shade. Again, it's nicely pigmented and makes for an interesting colour.


Bubble Gum is a lovely bright sky blue colour and it has a matte finish. It's highly pigmented!

Mint Cream is a green with a little bit of shimmer running through it. It's more on the pastel shade and is kind of comparable to Apple Sour without the frostiness.

Finally, we have Cream Soda which is an extremely shimmery white. It's very pigmented and has the most fall out of all the shades.

Overall, I'm really impressed with the palette and it's definitely one of my current favourites. More or less all of the colours are so pigmented and not too mention absolutely gorgeous to look at. There's a nice mix of both shimmer and matte shades which means there's going to be something for everyone's preference. I think this palette also makes a great dupe for some higher end palettes with bright colours - most notably Urban Decay's Electric Palette. If you like bright colours, or maybe just want to start using them, I think this is definitely a worth while buy. At only £7.99 from Superdrug, I really don't think you can go wrong - especially with the high quality you'll be getting from this palette.

Thank you for reading this review, I hope you found it interesting and / or helpful! 

Have you tried this or any other Sleek palettes? What are your thoughts / recommendations?!

REVIEW: Lush - Snow Fairy Shower Gel!

Today I have a review for you guys; it's on Lush's infamous Snow Fairy shower gel!

Snow Fairy is an extremely popular, seasonal shower gel that Lush release every year during the Christmas period. This year was actually my first time every trying it and I loved it!


As you can see, the shower gel is this really pretty, bright pink colour and it has little blue glitter bits running through it (which don't stick to you or your hair, don't worry). It has an extremely nice smell; it's very sweet and fruity and has definite hints of candy floss and bubble scents in my opinion. It smells very nostalgic in a lot of ways.


After using the shower gel, the scent actually stays on your skin which is great because it smells so good. It feels very nourishing on the skin and leaves it feeling rather soft.

This is a really nice shower gel and I personally think people of all ages and genders would love it, believe me! It may smell and look like the girlies shower gel ever, but men love it too!

I got Snow Fairy in the largest size they did which is 500g. This was a pretty pricey £10.95 but the bottle is massive and it will definitely be lasting me a very long time. The bottle does come in other sizes too: 100g for £3.50 and 250g for £6.85.

Snow Fairy is a real Christmas treat which I'd use on all occasions. It would make a lovely gift or simply a nice little treat for yourself - give it a try!

New Camera and Perfume Collection!


Hey! So, in this post I thought I would share with you all my perfume collection! Before I get started, I just wanted to let you guys know that I finally got a NEW CAMERA! I am so excited to have it and have been using it all day today. So yeah, that means better quality photos for my blog which i'm really happy about and I hope you enjoy it too! If any of you may be wondering the camera I got is the Nikon D3200.


Now, onto the good stuff! As I said, I am going to share with you my perfume collection and I will also use the perfumes' official descriptions to give you an idea of their scent..


Harajuku Lover's - Love perfume 10ml and 30ml:


I love this perfume! First of all, how CUTE is the bottle top? I love the little dolls and their purple hair especially and they make such pretty decorative items even once your perfume is all gone which mine nearly are. These perfumes are super cheap but have a really nice smell, I only wish they came in bigger bottles. This fragrance is describe as delicate with notes of green apple, watermelon and raspberry.


Next - Paradise 100ml:


This is one of the cheapest of my perfumes and it's probably one of my favourites. I absolutely love Next perfumes and you get so much for such a little price. This is one of my old Next favourites and it really is lovely, especially for the Summer. This is described as a light and fresh floral fragrance with white floral and green notes.


Britney Spears - Midnight Fantasy 100ml:


I don't usually like celebrity fragrances and I'm not much of a fan of Britney Spears, but her perfumes are amazing. They are one of my all times fragrances and I love their fruity, sweet scents. This particular one I have used quite a bit of as you can tell and I need to get myself some more pronto! This perfume is described as a seductive floral bouquet with musk and dark amber notes.


Britney Spears - Curious 100ml:


Here I have another Britney Spears perfume and this is one of my very first fragrances that I bought for myself. I love the packaging and think it is very girly and pretty, especially with the little pink hearts around the bottle neck. This perfume is floral accented with Magnolia and vanilla-infused musk.


YSL - Babydoll 30ml:


This perfume I received as a birthday present. It looks really tiny but it's actually 30ml which isn't too bad and I have found that it actually lasts for quite a while. I wasn't very keen on this scent to begin with, but I have warmed to it and I do actually quite like it now. This fragrance has a fruity blend gooseberry, grapefruit and rhubarb as well as base notes of grenadine, peach and cedar wood.


Next - Just Pink 100ml:


Here we have another Next fragrance. This is the first Next fragrance I ever tried and it is still one of my favourites. This scent is simple yet still very lovely to wear. The packaging has changed over the years for this perfume and I really like this one. This fragrance is fresh green and floral and has soft fruit and pink blossom notes. 


Harajuku Lovers - Lil' Angel 10ml:


This is another Harajuku Lover's fragrance and again, how cute is the little doll?! I am such a fan of these perfumes but as I said before, I only wish they sold them in bigger bottles. This is a citrus/floral fragrance with raspberry, cranberry, violet and crystal amber notes.


Calvin Klein - Secret Obsession 100ml:


This perfume is more of a night time and is a little more on the musky side. I don't usually like musky fragrances but this one I do quite like. Not too keen on the packaging, mind you! This fragrance has notes of exotic plum, burnt amber, rose and cashmere woods.


Calvin Klein - In2U Her 100ml:


This is one my new favourite scents and I actually got this not too long ago for my birthday. The packaging kind of reminds me of Old Spice! This fragrance is described as having notes of pink grapefruit, sugar orchid and neon amber.


And that concludes my perfume collection! Thank you for reading and please feel free to leave any comments or post suggestions down below, they are very welcome and I love to hear from you!
