Sleek Makeup Gift Bag Winner

Hello Beauties, hope you all had a great weekend?

In the last week of January, Sleek Makeup had a 5 day competition on Facebook  and on the 3rd day, I was a lucky winner. Fast forward to last week, my winnings finally arrived by post and I was pleasantly surprised because all the items that was sent were not already in my collection.

The items were placed in a Sleek Makeup gift bag which I have kept nicely for future use.
Side note: am I the only person that collects cute looking carrier/gift bags?lol
The gift bag contained 6 items perfect for creating Spring/Summer look with 2 pout paints, black liquid liner, dark brown brow kit, oh so special palette and a lipstick.

 True colour Lipstick - Stiletto (matte finish).

 Dip-It eyeliner - Black

 Brow Kit  - Dark

Oh So Special Palette - Top (L-R): Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz and Celebrate.
Bottom (L-R): Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up and Noir.

I'll let you know what I think of these items after I've played with them a lot more.

 If you'll like to keep up to date with Sleek Makeup then like their Facebook page here and also follow them on Twitter here as they are having another competition this week.

Thanks for stopping by beauties and let me know what you think of these items if you've used any of them.

PS: I promise to be a better blogger this week.

LIPSTICKS (Part 1)

Lipsticks are a great way to add a pop of colour to your look and to give a longer lasting lip colour. It depends on the look you are going for but I like to always wear a lip stick underneath just to have colour on my lips when my gloss fades away.

So in this post, I will be sharing with you my lipstick collection starting with the True Colour Lipsticks by Sleek Makeup.

Cranberry is a limited edition lipstick that came out in November 2011 as part of The Berry Collection. This has a deep red wine shade and gives a matte finish. I love this colour because its the perfect berry lip colour and  I can tone it down and use as a lip tint when I don't want too much "berryness".


Peaches and Cream has a peachy shade with a sheen finish. This is one of my newest purchase and to me it's just like Bare All with a little bit more colour with a sheen finish.


Coral Reef has a neon-coral shade and gives a sheen finish. This colour is everything I want in a lipstick; it's bright and it's loud and I love it.


Majestic is a dark-plumy shade with a matte finish. It is no longer available from the sleek website but you can find a similar shade such as Vamp.


Fuchsia is the very first lipstick I purchased from Sleek and I love it. The label is the same as Majestic but different from the rest because Sleek changed their labeling (PS: love the new label better). It has a matte finish and is still available to purchase from Sleek.


Naked is a nude lipstick with a sheen finish but for me its too light and gives me the ashy look so I pair it with a brown lip pencil to match my skin tone better.


Bare All is a nude lip colour with a peachy undertone and it has a matte finish. I love this so much that I went through a phase where I wore it every single day.

So that's all of my True colour Lipsticks and I am hoping to update this post with any new addition in the future. In the meantime, I'll be doing another post which will contain all the other lipsticks I own from other brands.

Do you own any True Colour Lipstick? If you do, which one is your favourite?
