Arabian Nights Sleek Palette | leeannpatricia


As some of you may know from my recent blogposts, I have treated myself to the Limited Edition Sleek Palette, called Arabian Nights which I'm absolutely in love with!
The colours are so perfect for night time events and are so pigmented! I completely fell in love with the colours as soon as I saw this palette. 
Heres a picture of the colours that are included in this palette

Now personally I wouldn't use these colours for everyday use apart from the two lighter ones. I find this palette is very glam, but sometimes you may need to re-apply colour when blending due to the amount of glitter. Also you may find that fall outs when using glittery eye-shadow will be more noticeable, so after you've finished your look make sure you clean up afterwards.

Heres a few swatches so show you some colours, I am also aware that the photo quality is poor but I didn't bring my better camera around my boyfriends house when I was meant to be taking pictures for this blog post.



I absolutely love that sleek comes up with so many creative names for each colour they have! I think its such a lovely touch to a product! My favourite colours have to be Scheherazade's tale, Gold Souk, Black magic and 1001 nights! However all the other colours are as beautiful too! So I'd defiantly recommend buying this product while its still available! Add it too your collection because it's defiantly worth it!
You can buy this palette from superdrug for £7.99!
   
Now I thought it would be a good idea so show something I created with this palette earlier!
This look is super easy, I used Gold souk all over the lid and then blended in sultans garden and hocus pocus, i felt like it left a very autumn vibe and brought some warmth to the eye, I'd recommened blending some purple into the crease to warm things up a little bit more, if you wanted too! 


Feel free to ask more questions about this look and go re-create it!

Kylie Jenner Lips In 4 Easy Steps | leeannpatricia


Recently I have been obsessed with Kylie Jenner. However we have all heard the rumours about her having her lips done but I'm here to show you how you can achieve Kylie Jenner lips quick and easy, just using makeup.

Now since I have started wearing lipstick more recently, I do this step before applying my chosen colour! The good thing about this is that you hardly need any products to re-create big lips!

Step 1
Now step one is pretty easy, so firstly you want to conceal you lips so you can achieve a nude colour. I'm using Maybelline's cover stick in 01 Ivory. 

Step 2
This step is a must do, I always apply Carmex before any make-up application so my lips don't dry out.
I applied this over the concealer though so it didnt start to crack. Then I patted it into my lips so my lips weren't glossy.

Step 3
For this step you will need a brown lip pencil or eyeliner pencil. I am using a eyeliner pencil by N07. I start by tracing my lips but going over them so they look a little bit bigger than normal. After this step you want to grab your lip brush and start smudging the line so it blends into your lips. 

step 4
Another easy step for you all is by grabbing your favourite nude or pinky coloured lipstick and I'm using Rimmel London's Volume Booster Lipstick in 102 FOXY. I apply this in the middle of the lips, afterwards using the same lip brush you used earlier fill in the edges!

Now if you aren't great with staying in the lines you can easily grab your concealer and clean up the edges!.. And now your done! Kylie Jenner lips made simple.

Here the finished look!


Who's your celebrity crush at the moment?
