Sleek Avoir La Peche Collection + Swatches!

Another great collection which I have purchased from Sleek Cosmetics: www.sleekmakeup.com 

It's the Sleek Avoir La Peche Collection.

This collection consists of:-

- Paraguaya i-Divine Palette : USD $10

- Blush in Pan Tao: USD $6.50

- Pout Polish in Sugar May: USD$6.50

I have also ordered another Pout Polish in Electro Peach and with all this order, it comes with a free mini lip gloss and I've picked the Sweet Sixteen mini high shine. Shipping cost to Australia is USD$13 .

I've always love sleek products and these are of no exceptions! These products are absolutely gorgeous and well pigmented. If you love orange/coral tone... you definitely can't give this a miss!

Here are the swatches and look which I have done.

 

From top left: Parfait, Blush, Cameo, Persian Orange, Peach Gold, Sandstone

Blush in Pan Tao

Pout Polish in Sugar May and Electro Peach

Swatches done and you could see some are shimmery and some are matte/satin

Gorgeous shades especially Peach gold and Tangelo

 

Blush is Pan Tao and have added abit of highlight to my cheekbone.

Using only Sugar May on my lips. Quite moisturizing but it also has a strong scent, like almond coconutty taste to it. Not my favourite like of smell/taste but still love the color though.

I applied Redstone on inner half of my lid, outer half is Tangelo, then on the crease is Stone. On my browbone is Sandstone. I did the same on my lower lash line. I then applied Bellini on the inner corner of my eyes. 

Physician Formula Happy Booster haul and swatches.

I've heard alot of reviews about these products and I told myself that I have to have them and yes I did! As the Physician Formula counters in Australia do not sell the Happy Booster range, I had to order them through ebay. I bought these from Ebay seller: inthewoodshere.
I got 3 of them for the price of USD$12.99 each + total shipping: USD$10.

Overall: I really do like them. I love the cute packaging and the little hearts. Gosh, they are so pretty. I swatched them and the feeling is so smooth to the touch. Quite pigmented... but I personally do prefer more color pigmentation as although they are pigmented, they are  more of light shimmery colors. Even the bronzer is more of light tone but could apply more to achieve the effect that you want. In order to get the actual tone, I had to swatched heavily on my hand. But don't get me wrong, they do worth every penny! Can be used as highlighter or just a flush on cheeks! Just can't wait to try them!

As you can see from swatches, they are quite light in colors.

Rose has the most color pigmentation! Gorgeous flush of pink.

NYX cream blush swatches!

I have recently purchased a whole bunch of NYX cream blushes based on the highly recommended reviews on them. I bought mine from website: www.beautyjoint.com . Compares to other websites, their pricing is very reasonable. Price for NYX Cream blush: USD$3.95 each. I ordered a total of 11 items (which also included 1 Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk") and the shipping to Australia for the whole order is USD$10.04.

(PS: As per BeautyJoint, their price will increase slightly as from April 2011)

Product details:

NYX rouge cream blush offers radiant, long-lasting color in the form of velvet smooth cream. Infused with mineral oils, this blush is creamy in texture and offers provides a dewy glow for natural, fresh skin.

Colors which I bought: Rose Petal, Natural, Tea Rose, Glow, Red Cheeks, Hot Pink, Orange, Golden, Boho Chic and Bronze Goddess.

Swatches as shown below:

Top row: Rose Petal, Natural, Tea Rose

2nd row: Glow, Red Cheeks, Hot Pink, Bronze Goddess

Bottom row: Orange, Golden, Boho Chic

Swatches from left: Rose Petal, Natural

Tea Rose, Glow

Red Cheeks, Hot Pink

Orange, Golden

Boho Chic, Bronze Goddess

Overall, I love them! They are indeed very creamy and pigmented. Because it's so creamy, got to be very careful when you dip your fingers into the product as a tiny bit goes a long way. You can build up color bit by bit. All the colors are nice. If you like something really vibrant, then you definitely gotta go for Orange, Hot Pink and Red Cheeks. However because they are cream based, the staying power is not that long, an idea will be to add on powder blush on top and that will last much longer.

Hope these swatches will help you out in sourcing for the colors that you want!
