SLEEK "FLASH A POUT" REVIEW AND SWATCHES
A few week back i got a potpourri of sleek studio makeup and skin care products.
The skin care products came just in time, since i had just run out of most of my skin care things and the facial wash became a quick favourite. i will be doing a specific review on that soon but as a hint " my skin has never felt better".
So i got six(6) lippies from sleek.
 
They Say: The description on the body says " longlast matte lipstain with led light and mirror for perfect application even i the dark".
How to use: "moisture lip before application".
Ewabela Says: Great product, i love it and i will purchase most of it when i run out. Also i recommend you buy it.
All the colours are great for a professional makeup artist , nude, pink, red, orange, deep wine and deep purple. So you can go from bridal nude, bridal pink - bold bridal red and a gothic bridal look with deep wine or deep purple with these products.
For personal use stick to the nude, pink, red and orange

ALLENCHANT EYE SHADOW PRODUCT REVIEW
Allenchant mineral eye shadow is made from 100% natural mineral products. It is in a powder form and it comes in a very small plastic, transparent beneath and black cover. it has a sift to keep the products from spilling.
I got two colour purply and corona, both colors have a metallic finish. so you get get a very reflective sheen, yet satin finish rather than a frosted appearance. the color payoff is lovely - dense,opaque color and the texture is soft to touch, buttery feel, smooth and very blend-able.
The PURPLY is purple as the name imply's, it has a metallic shimmer closer to sleek eye dust "fantasy" but it has more gold, while the CORONA is a bronze color, it has mega shimmer and golden toned finish.
Worn alone (with no primer) the look is sheer with a noticable hint of color , i didn't notice any creasing for 5 hours - which was when i cleaned it off. Used with a primer the colors came out spectacularly, no creasing or fading out.
Application is best done with a short stiff brush to avoid fall out, am happy to say the fall out was very easy to brush off without staining your makeup.
Package for the product isn't impressive but it holds so much products that i don't mind. i love the sift which helps in minimizing wastage.

NYC LIQUID EYELINER
I love this liner for precises application of very slim lines, its highly pigmented and it comes with a very thin brush. This brush can be a bit difficult for first timers, you needs patience and it takes time.
Package is good but nothing grand.

TINT LIQUID EYELINER
This eye liner is the best of all best, its just perfect. Texture is great, pigments fantastic its sooo black and i love it so much i rarely use it. The applicator it comes with is a slim stick not a brush, which makes it great for beginner as well as for pros that want to create a very slim line.
Package is beautiful but i feel its too small - i want more.

TARA LIQUID EYELINER
This liner is cool.UPON First application it looks glossy and shiny but it dries into a matte finish which was a huge relieve to me. since i hate eye liners with glossy finish. it comes with a stick applicator, which great for beginners or people that find applying eye liner very tough.
Packaging is beautiful i love it and the size is just perfect.

PRODUCT REVIEW: SLEEK EYE SHADOW (THE MAKEUP)
This are a couple of looks i created using sleek eye shadow only.
this is the divine mineral based eye shadow- safari.-572.
One eye has shades of green and silver highlight, this look was done to be more dramatic.
Second eye has champagne, deep bronze and black.
The eye shadow was primed with TARA eye shadow base and it was lined with LISE black out eyeliner

PRODUCT REVIEW: SLEEK EYE SHADOW
Sleek eyeshadow, in one form or another is in the make purse of about 50% Nigerians between the ages 20-30. So there is no doubt about the fact that sleek is a very popular brands in Nigeria.
Am going to be review one of their most selling brand of eye shadow "divine mineral based eyeshadow" specifically - safari 572".
What sparked my interest in this particular type is the fact that it contains matte colors.
Here are my obervations.
The matte colors come out very sheer and didn't improve much even with eye shadow primer/base
The shimmer eye shadows were fantastic, highly pigmented, very little fallout as compared to its storm version or even TARA HIP.
It also contain a nice variety of colour, a very good shade of chapiagn and deep bronze that can be used everyday if you don't mind shimmers both colors blend well and they will sooth our African skin tone, whether light, medium or dark.
One down side is that it doesn't have shades of blue, which would have been nice for those that wear a lot of blue jeans but it makes up for this by having various shades of green.note: if you are particular about blue as a color then buy their " divine mineral based eyeshadow - ORIGINAL".

VERDICT.
The shimmer eye shadows were fantastic, highly pigmented, very little fallout. The matte colors come out very sheer and didn't improve much even with eye shadow primer/base BUT NOTE THAT there were few matte(2) and more shimmer(10) - so you still get you money worth. More over i used the neutral shade of matte for blending.

PRODUCT REVIEW: TARA HIGH INTENSITY PIGMENT
I have been wanting to do a review on Tara/ orekelewa products for ages. i love that woman , So a negative review was a no-no even if i was paid, i just could not - but those first set of orekelewa eyeshadow where nothing to write about, pardon me i love the "ovialeke" but still it just wasn't it for me. Those old 3-in-1 eye shadows had a great satin finish but it will not last up to 3hrs it just disappears your have to use a primer to get it to last 5hrs. But that is enough rambling on old school tales backup to lastest news, about the new tara high intensity pigment eye shadows.
First thing that caught me was the fabulous advert pictures, i couldn't believe our beloved tara who is a freak for natural looks will have tons of lovely looking pigments on her own face. Anyway, i have been curious but i ain't buying any more local brands - have been badly burnt (too much money for less quality) so i didn't allow myself get moved until one of my student brought it in yesterday after like a year of release. i was shocked and duly impressed, hence my review.
This eye shadows are simply divine and that is no exageration (this is not a sponsored review) i really love them. it has a very mineralized feel, sleek satin finish (so it suitable for even for a bride) yet its so pigmented that you can do without primer and still get 5hrs good hours out of it.
The colour combination in my pallet is great(queen amina),containing colours you can use on a daily basis. you might of-course have a favorite color but am sure you will find all shades in it to be useful.
Colors: gray,deep blue, teal, bronze, baby pink, lilac, fushia pink, peach, silver, deep bronze,sky blue and a grayish blue. I find the various shade of pink to be fantastic and if are like me i.e you love blending colors- you will love this pallet.
The outer packaging is lovely though the applicator inside is useless for a professional. I also had issues with the fall out from application, i guess this expected from any highly pigmented eye shadow but my main issue is with fact that the fall out eye shadow didn't clean off easily.
This are the swatches of the color set that i have and am hoping to get the remaining so i can show those one too.

PRODUCT REVIEW:TARA HIP EYE SHADOW "QUEEN AMINA"
3 STEPS TO AVOID FALLOUT;
1.First apply your eye shadow.
2.Clean up all the fall out with an eye makeup remover, rub gently because the skin under the eye area is tender and to avoid pre- mature wrinkles.
3.Now apply foundation and powder to finish your look.
This product has our seal as a good buy for all makeup lovers.
Enjoy!
love, MUAH!
