New Product Alert - Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette

If you are subscribed to my Youtube channel, then you would know I am a sucker for highlighters and this palette is right up my street.

Sleek launched a highlighter palette late last year, which went down a storm. Now they have created a brand new palette with new shades ready for the Christmas period. This palette comes in a nice, pretty rose gold packaging, which is the 'in thing' at the moment. I think making the  packaging a rose gold colour makes the palette extra special and makes it look more higher end than it is.
Within the palette itself, it comes with a mirror that covers one side and a brush to apply the product with. I usually don’t bother with the brushes that come with the palettes due to the brush being a bit crap and worthless. But if you are travelling, then it is an ok make-up tool to have. The palette comes with four highlighters that are all different colours that can be used in different areas of the face and body. Two of the four highlighters are baked powders, one is a shimmer powder and the last one is a cream formula. So you do get a good variety of textures and colours in this palette. The top two highlighters are Ecliptic which is a champagne cream and Hemisphere which is a pink/purple baked highlighter. The bottom two are subsolar which is a yellow shimmer powder and Equinox is a bronze baked powder. Apparently Equinox is a dupe for the Becca highlighter in champagne pop, but is a lot affordable and easy to get in the UK.
I do like how there are different colours of highlighter, with different formulas to suit everyone's needs. Sleek claims this palette to enhance the complexion with a radiant glow with a metallic finish that gives a sheen to the skin. They also say these highlighters can be used on all skin tones and can be used for the skin and body.


This is definitely on my make-up wishlist as I love Sleek products and I love highlighters, so I need a trip to Superdrug to find it.


If you want to buy the Sleek Solstice Highlighting palette, it is out now and available from Sleek website, Superdrug and Boots. The palette is a part of the permanent line and costs £9.99.

Upcoming Product - Collection Illuminating Touch Foundation

Collection are on a roll with bringing out brand new products into their range at the moment. They have recently launched a contour kit and a highlighter stick. Now they are about to launch a brand new foundation to complement another product which is the illuminating touch concealer. Yes, they are bringing out an illuminating touch foundation to add to the illuminating touch range. 

The illuminating touch foundation is meant to give a flawless and radiant look to the skin by using light reflecting pigments within the formula. If you have dull skin this will work for you since this will lighten the skin to give a radiance boosting look and make you look more awake. This foundation is hydrating to the skin, which will be perfect for people who have dry skin and struggle to find any foundations that will not show any dry patches. The formula is medium to high coverage which will help to cover any problem areas like blemishes and redness. You can build the coverage up without looking cakey to make it full coverage.  Collection also claims this foundation to be long lasting that will stay all day without moving or slipping off the face. They also claim on their website that this foundation will give you a 'your skin but better' look.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle that has a frosted finish and comes with a black pump and a lid. I do like how foundations come with a pump and a lid for it. However, because of the glass bottle, it will make the weight of this foundation a lot heavier and if you drop it on the floor, then it will smash.  

There are six shades of this foundation; Porcelain (1), Ivory (2), Cool Beige (3), Warm Beige (4), Honey (5) and Golden (6). 

Personally, I am not sure if I will try this foundation since I have oily skin and have a natural shine from the oils within my skin. I might try this in the winter time when the weather turns colder and my skin needs a bit of a boost. 

The Collection illuminating touch foundation will be available from Superdrug/Wilko on the 23^rd September and will later be available in Boots on the 30^th September 2015 at a cost of £ 5.99 each. Collection already have a web page for this foundation ready for its launch, but it is still too early to buy online.
