Hi Sweeties!
This is my second post of the week!
My local Superdrug just recently had a massive overhaul, and have added a LOT of new makeup to their store, that normally I'd have to go elsewhere to find! I'm so happy about this since it's not far from work so I can pick things up when ~I pop out to buy lunch! ^_^
I figured that it's about time I tried out a contour palette, and so picked up one from Sleek (which I'll be talking about today) and another from Make Up Revolution to compare it with next time!

This is what the palette for Light skin looks like!
On the left is the darker contouring powder, and on the right is the highlighter powder. It also comes with a nice mirror, though I really felt like it was missing a brush to complete the palette. At £6.49 however, you can't expect to get a decent brush anyway, so it's not a big loss at all.
The powders have quite a creamy texture, and the contour powder is pretty strongly pigmented, which means you don't need to use a lot of it. Bonus for long lasting!
The highlighter is quite natural compared to what I'm used to, due to it's peachy flesh tone, but it leaves you with a lovely natural glow.

For this look, I used the contour palette as eyeshadow too, to maintain a lighter feel.
For under my eyes I lightly blended some of the Brown Play101 pencil by Etude House that I got earlier this year, and finished with black liquid liner and lashings of mascara.
For the lips, I gave my brown play 101 pencil a good clean and used it as a lipliner, then blended it together with the reddy/plum toned Reckless lipstick from Makeup Revolution, that I'll talk about in a different post, all about lipsticks that I picked up lately!
I'm really loving a dark lip right now, and think that it's going to be perfect for Autumn looks!
So, what do you think?
I'm quite feeling the Sleek palette - decent price and does the job pretty well!
As usual, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
