New Things: Sleek & Liz Earle

Hope everybody is enjoying the second day of the Bank Holiday! I’m having a lazy day, recovering after a much needed night out yesterday, so I thought it was a nice time to share some of the hottest products being released this Autumn. Let’s face it, it’s practically Autumn already, we haven’t really even had a Summer this year – boooo! First up is the Sleek ‘Nude’ Collection, due to be launched this upcoming Wednesday (31st August) in Superdrug’s across the UK and on their website, but don’t panic as it’s an addition to their permanent line – phew! Comprising of 3 products, embracing neutral tones and warm hues, this collection just screams ‘sell-out!’. Reviews of this collection have been done to death in the blogging world, so I will keep mine short and sweet 😉 Of course, people are going to go crazy for the 12-piece ‘Au Natural’ eyeshadow palette, these palettes have become a bit of a collectors item in the beauty world and always seem to hit the spot. As people have already said, the top row of shadows lack in pigmentation, which is a shame as those more softer shades would be ones that I would wear on a daily basis, however the bottom row packs serious punch and will make some fab crease shades. I’m a massive fan of their Pout Polishes, and I was early awaiting the release of this nude shade called ‘Bare Minimum’, but it seriously lacks any type  of colour to it at all, and should be seen as more of a tinted lipbalm, if that! The stand-out of the collection for me, is one that has been overlooked by many and is the blush in ‘Suede’; when I first saw it I thought of NARS Madly, and although the two are comparable Suede has much more of a brown tone to it and lacks the shimmer of Madly. But dusted over the checks Suede adds such a pretty warmth, it’s almost one of those double blush and contour shades so will be great for rushed mornings! Suede is definitely my top pick from the new collection 🙂
