Sleek Make - up Palette

SLEEK MAKE-UP PALETTE 

Au Naturel

I have recently been wearing alot of neutral colours for my eye make up to try and tone down my everyday look that i am soooo use to having. So, I have been trying out different neutral colours to wear on various days and i've been getting a few compliments off my friends that it looks good =) 

I saw on Stylesuzi  blog that Sleek Make-up have brought out a new eyeshadow pallete from their Nude Collection that i really wanted to get my hands onto. So, i popped out to my nearest Superdrug store, getting all excited to purchase it but just my luck, they were out of stock, I was soooo disappointed !!!! So i decided to go to a different Superdrug store hoping that they would have some in stock and yay!!! they had ONE LEFT !!! =) grabbed it and its mine ^^

 

 How gorgeous does these colours look, they are sooo pigmented and only priced at £6.99, such a bargain too!!!
