Sleek - Oh So Special Palette

After looking in all Superdrug I could find, and not finding the Oh So Special palette, I decided to order it online, and I am so glad I did. I am in love with this palette. There are so many looks I can create and for me it is one of those palettes that will take you from day to night.

The shadows are so pigmented, and so pretty, there is the right amount of shimmer and matte eyeshadow, and I love that.

Here are the pictures.

Depois de procurar e procurar em todas as Superdrug que encontrei, e nao encontrar a paleta Oh So Special da Sleek, finalmente decidi compra-la online no site da Sleek, e ainda de bem que o fiz. Eu amo esta paleta. dá para criar tantos looks, e na minha opinião é uma daquelas paletas que dá para o dia a dia e para a noite.

As sombras são tão pigmentadas, e esta paleta tem o numero certo de sombras com shimmer e mate.

Aqui ficam as fotografias.

Sleek - Storm Palette

This Storm Palette is definetely for me a night palette, most shades are so shimmery but gorgeous.

All the shades are so pigmented even without primer, I took pictures with and without primer and the difference is almost not visible.  

I love this palette, and I am so happy that I finally got it.

Esta paleta da Sleek, a Storm para mim vai ser uma paleta que vou usar mais para criar looks para a noite ou mais dramaticos, a maioria das sombras tem bastante shimmer, mas são lindas.

Todas as sombras desta paleta são bastante pigmentadas mesmo sem o primer, eu tirei fotos com e sem primer e a diferenca não é quase nenhuma.

Adoro esta paleta, e finalmente decidi compra-la, não me desiludiu.

Sleek and ELF Haul

So earlier on, I posted about two parcels that arrived for me today.

So I received some ELF and Sleek products that I ordered on Friday, so I am very happy about the time it took for it to come, it was very quick.

Form ELF I got a High Definition Powder from the Studio line, a mineral lipstick in Nicely Nude, A studio cream eyeshadow in Candlelight, I also bought two new products that are now available on their website, which are the eyeshadow primer trio, in three different colours, Nude, Champagne and Pearl, and also the new Clarifying Oil Blotting Sheets.

I plan to do a full review on the eyeshadow primers and the Clarifying Oil Blotting Sheets once I've use them.

From Sleek I bought two eyeshadow palettes, the Storm, and the Oh So Special. 

I will do another post latter on or tomorrow, with swatches.

I am so excited about these two palettes I cannot wait to use them, and do some looks with them.

No meu outro post, eu disse que tinham chegado dois pacotes para mim.

Recebi umas coisinhas da ELF e da Sleek que encomendei na Sexta, estou estremamente contente com o tempo que demoraram a chegar, foi muito rapido.

Da ELF, comprei o High Defenition Powder da linha Studio, um batom mineral na cor Nicely Nude, uma sombra em creme na cor candlelight tambem da linha Studio, e tambem comprei dois produtos novos no site deles, um set de 3 primes com cores diferentes, Nude, Champagne e Pearl, e tambem comprei ums Clarifying Oil Blotting Sheets, que é para usar durante o dia quando a minha pele começar a ficar muito oleosa, vamos ver como eles trabalham.

Quando os usar faço uma review deles e dos primers tambem.

Da Sleek comprei duas paletas de sombras, a Storm e a Oh So Special.

No proximo post irei falar delas ainda hoje ou então amanhã.

Mal posso esperar para usar estas paletas especialmente a Oh So Special, que é linda, tem cores mesmo lindas, e vai ser tão facil usar essa paleta para fazer look que vão do dia para a noite.

Neutral Toned Eyeshadow Tutorial

This is the same eyeshadow look that I'm wearing in my previous post (Neutral Eyes, Red Lips). I just thought I would show you how I went about doing it! I use more or less this same technique for any eyeshadow that I wear. The names of all the products are listed below but here's a photo of everything that I used anyway! ...

1. Apply MAC Painterly Paint Pot as a base all over the lid. You can of course use any base or primer that you like. I just prefer Painterly because it covers redness and leaves a nice blank canvas. I apply this just using my finger.

 2. Blend MAC Soba eyeshadow onto the outer half of the lid and into the crease with a fluffy blending brush like the MAC 217.

3. Using a flat brush like the MAC 239, bring some of that Soba eyeshadow underneath the lower lash line too.

 4. Using the same 217 brush that was used before (I just wiped it off), apply MAC Dazzlelight eyeshadow to the inner half of the lid. Take a bit onto the tear duct area too. This opens up the eye.

 5. With a small pointed brush (I'm using the Laura Mercier Crease Brush), take some of the golden brown shade from the NARS Surabaya Duo and apply it to the very outer corner and slightly into the outer part of the crease so that it creates a 'c' shape.

6. On the 239 brush take some of that NARS eyeshadow underneath the eye - only on the very outer part of the lower lash line.









7. Now the harsh shape of that darkest eyeshadow needs to be blended out. Take a bit more MAC Soba eyeshadow on the 217 brush and go back into the crease with this, using it to blend out the dark NARS eyeshadow. I tend to blend in both windshield wiper and small circular motions.

8. Take some MAC Vanilla eyeshadow (or any shadow which is about a shade lighter than your skin tone) on a MAC 222 brush and apply it under the eyebrow on the brow bone. This adds a bit of a highlight as well as softening the edges of the crease colours, making sure everything is blended really well.

9. Line your top lash line and wing it out if you want to. I'm using a cake eyeliner and a Louise Young LY24 brush. I've already done a winged liner tutorial so if anyone wants to take a look at that you can do so here. Line your water line too with whatever you like to use (I use Clinique's Cream Liner in black). Apply mascara and that's it! You can always add false lashes here too - I used half lashes with this look in my previous post.






Voila! Hope that was somewhat useful! Here's the finished look (you can also of course see the full effect of this look in my previous post!) ...
