Crown Brush Professional Contouring Palette Review

Crown brush won my heart over this summer when I tried out some of their brushes for the first time! BUT this brand doesn't only make fabulous brushes, oh no, they also have a gorgeous ever-growing make-up range to go alongside them.

I'm a big sucker for palettes, mainly because I'm a sucker for anything pretty/fabulous, and the contouring palette from Crown is no exception!

This 26 shade masterpiece contains a full of a range of colours to help enhance nearly any complexion and I have fallen hook, line and sinker for it.

This palette comes in a back slick, slim hard case which is easy to store and looks as professional as it's name!

The range of neutral shades are right up my street, I'm a bit of wimp when it comes to brights, especially on the eyes so these pinks, tans and slight plums are perfect for me for both my everyday make-up and my awkward attempts at creating a smokey eye. (Yes, I'm not the greatest.... but I blame my eyes - they are so small!)

Crown Brush Professional Contouring Palette*

I thought I would highlight a few of my favourite shades above! The bottom two I have been loving using together daily - the left tan shade to help contour my cheeks and then the warmer pinker tone alongside it!

You only need to tiniest bit of the bottom right hand shade as it is pretty bold but when blended across the cheek it gives a gorgeous rosey gold shimmer.

The other shades pointed out are the ones I have been using most on my eyes, they blend together so well and I've actually been choosing this over my holy grail naked palette (along with another palette which I've also fallen in love with and which I'm sure you will all see soon!)

And..... there's a closer look for you! This shades are amazing quality, so pigmented and some gorgeous shades that you would pay a hell of alot more for if they were from somebody like Mac! 

With both matte and shimmer shades to compliment and contour this versatile number from Crown Brush UK is a perfect addition to any make-up lovers collection whether just starting out or professionally. For just £19.99 I think this is a total steal and you can find out more and/or order it - here!

Sleek i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette - Au Naturel

I am a sucker for netural eyeshadow colours.
I'm not really one for wearing wacky, bright or rainbow colours on my eyes - just for the plain and honest reason that I just cannot pull them off so I'm always going for browns and creams... what a bore!
 I love a natural smokey eye and it is pretty much my deafult make-up when I'm doing a proper full-face. I have been using my Naked palette non-stop since I got it and even though I love it like a sister I'm starting to want some new palettes and shades to play around with when doing my make-up ..... queue my new Sleek palette from the i-Divine collection - Au Naturel.

I'm always so impressed with everything I purchase from Sleek and this has been no exception! 

A gorgeous selection of 12 netural shades with both matte and shimmer formulas. This cost me £7.99 and I purchased it from Boots, although I'm sure it is available in Superdrug too! A fraction of the price of a naked palette with some fantastic colours!

You get this plastic sheet inside the palette with all the names of the shades on which is really handy but I'm praying I'll never loose it! (Although I suppose I can now always come onto here and read the names.... genius!)

From left to right :

TOP  - Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuccino, Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe.

BOTTOM  - Conker, Moss, Bark, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir.

I'm loving having some new shades to play around with and for the price the quality is fab! Highly pigmented and I can tell they are going to last a long time.

Great for both daytime and for big nights out there is such a great variety for both light and dark colours!

 My favourites have to be Conker & Taupe I think!

Another fantastic purchase from Sleek - everytime I buy a product from them I fall in love with them more and more!

Do you recommend any Sleek products or have you tried out any of the other eyeshadow palettes?
