Simple Review: SLEEK CORRECTOR & CONCEALER PALETTE

Today I'm gonna give you a simple review about Sleek Make Up Corrector & Concealer palette. 

Yes another Sleek Make Up to review I know. As you can see Sleek MakeUp is now my staple or go to makeup product for a year now. Love them to bits because they don't cost an arm and a leg like other brand. Product also delivers what it says. And with its mid range price? 
I can proudly say I can collect them all without hurting my wallet or even I don't have to smash my piggy bank just to get it.. =)

Anyway back to our review


Item Says:
The ultimate concealer palette containing a corrector, concealer and setting powder in one handy compact, perfect for on-the-go touch up's.
The brightening properties within the corrector give an instant lift to the eye area, whilst the concealer neutralises discolouration leaving you looking wide awake and flawless. Use the light setting powder to hold the concealer in place.
Both the concealer and powder contain SPF15. Price at 650.00 locally or USD 9.99 via Sleek Make Up UK.

Packaging
All Sleek make up packaging are  sturdy. I love the matte black compact as its very elegant and sleek looking. It's flat that you can easily slip it on your bag pocket without a hassle specially if you need to do some touch up. It also has a mirror just like its blushes and iDivine palette that I really find it so convenient especially when I'm not in front of my vanity.  
Note : That I swatched this product on a  BARE face before I review
The corrector for the eye area is quite impressive. It's not too creamy and not too thick that I can easily apply and blend. I can also build how much product I want to put in your eye area. Doesn't give you that white film around the eyes as it blends well on skin. 


swatches: Corrector, Concealer & Light powder on my arm
The concealer is also good that I only need a small dab on to the palette to conceal the redness of my face, marks and imperfections. It's also not sticky and is very easy to apply.(I posted before that I despise sticky products)  I only use dabbing motion on to my face and the product blends in naturally. 
The only down side I see is using it on my bare face alone  I find out that it doesn't totally cover the dark marks around my lip but I'm sure it'll cover if I put on foundation first.   
The Light setting powder  blends on my skin instantly it doesn't give me that obvious powder  look dabbed on to my skin which I find it great. 

Over all I think Sleek make up impressed once me again with this palette and it's price. Great to use everyday as it doesn't feel heavy on skin and goo to keep inside my bag for minor concealing during the day. 

XOXO

Simple Review on : VICHY DERMABLEND CORRECTIVE FOUNDATION

 For a person not a huge fan of liquid foundation I tell you have a few of them on my stash. I think around 4 or 5 of them but anyhoo. I only use them on times I really need a good cover up as I get some zits or breakouts from time to time and when I attend some function I'd rather conceal them with liquid rather than powder ones. I find F also lighter on my skin and then just pat it with a little powder. 

Today I'd like to give you a simple review on VICHY Dermablend. Yes I also watched Liza Eldridge's blog. he he he! I got so curious about this product as she described it as one of her favorite and only needs a small amount to conceal all skin imperfections and it's buildable so I bought it at Watson's while I was in HK during Christmas. There's only 2 shades available to one is Opal light color and  Nude medium. I find nude a bit too dark for me so I took Opal shade that matches more of my neck color  for HK$ 210.00

Item Description
A smooth blendable texture that glides on evenly leaving the skin with a natural, lightweight flawless finish. Recommended for minor to moderate skin imperfections such as redness, acne scars and pigmentation disorders. Moisturizing all day long. With the soothing properties of Vichy Thermal Water. 12 hours of long-lasting flawless wear (16 hours with Setting Powder)

Innovation: A total coverage foundation that respects the skin

Results: Skin imperfections are perfectly concealed with an even and natural looking complexion.

Dermatological Standards: Allergy tested. Tested on sensitive skin. Tested on sensitive eyes and contact lenses wearers. Fragrance free. Dermatologist tested. Ophthalmologist tested. Non-comedogenic.



Vichy's consistency light  and  not so thick. really easily to apply. Coverage is medium to heavy and buildable.  Best to use fingers rather than sponge as the latter will just suck up the product and you would tend to use more and product will run out in no time. it also gives that semi-matte finish that won't leave you skin looking flat.

I have red spots on the center of my face specially around the nose area. I always have to to check on this one from time to time as pat some powder on  as this  part of my face part also tends to be oily. But I noticed with Vichy  Demablend is I don't need to use concealer after application, which is really good for me as I don't have to use another product to hide the redness of my face. 



Staying power is good too. Vichy to me last a good 5- 6 hours no oiliness and almost no transfer when I blot my face during the day.  Another thumbs up for that


The only down side that I see is it only has 2 shades available and  it's not locally available other than that  I'd definitely recommend you to get this one. 
Overall id recommend this product to everyone who needs to conceal skin imperfactions like scars, acne marks, redness or rosacea. 

Have you tried Vichy's Dermablend Corrective Foundation?

Sleek Make Up True Color Lipstick Swatches


Call me crazy all you want but I'm deeply in love with Sleek True Color Lipstick! 




Sleek True Color Lipstick

what it says:
A superb highly-pigmented lipstick enriched with Vitamin E which leaves amazingly rich shades on the lips with only a single coat. 

Can be applied using a lip brush for a professional finish. 3.5g



Sleek Make Up Swatches


All True Color lipstick are very pigmented. There's Sheen and Matte finish. Some with shimmers too. They are mostly bold b,right and beautiful! 

Yes, this Girl can't go out without a lipstick! =) 


Pros: 
Most colors could be worn from day to night
Packaging doesn't look cheap and very sturdy
No smell nor taste
Good formulation
Cheap for  only Php 400  locally


Cons.
All bright & bold
I wish they could come up with more nude colors
Matte formulation could be drying but could be mended by applying a lip balm first which is sometimes a hassle.

Recommend these colors to people who love bold colors and to the ones who would like to use just lipstick as their everyday make up. 



Will I buy again? Definitely, Yes. =))
