Looks: Orange and Red

Hi everybody,

today I want to share with you another EOTD. The pictures were taken late at night and the lightening wasn’t that good so that’s why the pictures didn’t turn out too well. :( Oh well, here it is, let me know what you think:

red orange 03

Products used:
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit in Light (pale beige/nude shade)
- Wet n Wild White Eyeliner
- Barry M Dazzle Dust #84 Cherry Red
- Sleek Chaos Palette (orange and green)
- Helena Rubinstein Glorious mascara

Directions:
I applied UDPP with my fingers all over my lid followed by a pale beige nude to set it. Then, I applied Wet & Wild white eyeliner on the lid and lower lashline. Apply Barry M Dazzle Dust in cherry red on the lid and an orange shade on the crease. Highlight the browbone with a pale beige/nude shade. using MAC 219 pencil brush, apply a light green shade on the lower lashline. Finish off with applying mascara.

I also wanted to show you my latest makeup purchase: Sleek Acid palette. I love love love bright eyeshadows and this palette features neon shades! So, when I saw it I just couldn’t resist, I had to get it! The palette was LE, so it wasn’t easy to get a hold of  but I managed to find one on ebay! yay! Delivery was very quick but one of the shadows was broken :( Nothing irreparable though.

The colors are all very pigmented, insanely bold and absolutely gorgeous! The swatches don’t really do them justice.

Like all the other Sleek palettes, the quality is really good. The colors are easy to blend and last all day.

Overall, I’m very impressed with this palette. Now all I have to do is track down the Safari palette. It’s another LE item, so won’t be around for long. Isn’t this one beautiful too?

Wow, that palette is to die for! It reminds me of the Ben Nye palette but without shimmer. This eye look reminds me of something NARS did a while ago. I wouldn’t pull this look off as easily.

Sleek said on twitter that we soon can order their products online, but I only see 3 palettes there right now. All the LEs would probably not on there once they finish the online store set up. Thanks for the review

Connie: I love colorful and bright looks :) Now that I have such a beautiful and bold palette I can create even more :)

Danielle: really? Cos they are so pigmented and bold I wouldn’t really use them as highlighters :)

Dao: some of the colors remind me of Ben Nye palettes too :) Some of them are matte but some are pearlescent with a shimmer finish. Thank you! But I have to say that when I wear such bold looks I can get funny looks from some people. Not that I care, I love them :)

Dee: thanks! At the moment Sleek makeup can only be found on a very few online shops. I know Sleek is working to create a new website where they will also sell their products. Hopefully you’ll be able to get some then cos they are really good!

Hanna: thank you sweety! Honestly, those shades are challenging for me too. After playing with it for a few days, I think some of the colors are wearable, at least if you’re comfortable with wearing bright shades, but some are so bold and neon I haven’t figured out how to pull them off yet. I will post a look I did with it soon :)

Halifax: thanks for sharing, I follow Sleek makeup on twitter but I missed that message. I can’t wait for their store to open! And I hope they will sell LE items too, it would be a real shame if they don’t :(

Jen: thank you! I’m really glad I managed to get that palette, the colors are gorgeous!

Nikki: thanks hun, I’m glad you like it! I’m gonna have lots of fun creating bold looks with the new palette, I’m hoping to post some looks I do with it soon :)

Nicola: thank you! It looks more pink to me too, I think it was the bad lightening cos it definitely looked red in real life. :( Still, I think it looks quite nice but I don’t think I’ll be taking pix so late at night anymore.

Thanks Celeste. I love the colors too, but only 4 or 5 five are matte, the rest has a shimmery finish. But the shimmers aren’t too obvious and my crappy camera didn’t capture them. :( The colors are really more beautiful in real life.

It’s not easy for me to find a red/pink color like you did….I have many eyeshadows in different shades of pink but somehow the pinks either ended up to light on my lids or a totally different shade of pink altogether. I really like this EOTD.

But somehow it isn’t so me to put on such bright colors on my lids by myself. Need to get someone to do it for me I guess. ;)

Thanks Vonvon. This shade looked more red in real life but still it’s hard to find a color like that. It’s one of Barry M Dazzle Dusts, which are available in a huge selections of colors, and I had to go all the way to London to get it! I couldn’t find anything similar in Italy.
I know what you mean about pink. My skin is very very pale but still, it’s hard to find a pink shade that shows :(

Whoa, those are some madly pigmented colors! I think you have an eye color that can pretty much handle all those colors, you’re lucky :D

Thanks Renee! I love Sleek eyeshadows, their pigmentation is always excellent!
