Sleek Acid and Ultra Mattes Palettes

I was finally able to get my hands on some Sleek palettes.  A friend who lives in the UK offered to get these for me, and I immediately agreed to it.  I know the Acid palette was not being sold in the US due to FDA regulations, and if I read correctly somewhere online, it is the same case with the new Ultra Mattes :(
Here are the 2 I chose, and of course I now want more and more Sleek :)

My new loves....<3

I am loving these palettes so much, that I think I want the other Matte version and perhaps more of them. I did use the dark matte palette, and I forgot to take a picture lol.  I will try to get creative and I will post a picture when I come up with something.

Have you ladies tried Sleek?

FOTD: SP Heart Breaker...again lol

I have been playing with the new Heart Breaker Palette from Sugarpill every day since Monday when I received it.  It is very pigmented and I actually love it.  This is my 3rd look using them, so this is what I did...

Lashes are not SP, they are off Ebay.
I did not use a base, just primer, TFSI, although I must say that in order for the green to show this bright 
on my inner corner or lower lash line, I do need to use a white base, other than that it will appear dull and ugly. However, that is not the case when used on the upper lash line or lid. weird eh?


Love love love love and adore this palette. It has been a blast to see all the stares I get when I am out and about.  Let's see how the Daycare ladies react when they see me today (they have never seen me with bright makeup ever. not even bright lips lol). 

Are you ladies going to purchase this?  I think its worth it. Even though I most likely have similar colors from other palettes and some pigments.

FOTD: Summer Acid


I went all colorful today and decided to use my new Sugarpill Palette, Heart Breaker.  


This is what I came up with:



I love the colors. They are pigmented and gorgeous, but fair warning, if you swatch them on your hand with no primer, they will appear to be nothing special and a couple will be sort of chalky, but on the lid, they are wow!  I used TFSI and no base or glitter glue etc. and look at the color payoff. I also do not have Photoshop, so all i did was focus on the center because i have unkept brows lol. 

I love this palette, and I am regretting not swatching the Burning Heart one on my eyes over primer.
