Turquoise

Spring is on its way!

I decided today that i wear browns/neutral colours on my nails too much.

Excuse the state of them :)

1 x base coat

2 x sleek Turquoise.

I havn't worn too many polishes by Sleek really. I have a few (mainly browns and neutrals) i thought id go for something different as it has been neglected. 2 coats covered my nails nicely, although the consistency was really runny.

Have any of you painted your nails summery colours recently? Im far too excited at the thought of summer, i'm fed up of the rain and cold.

The Face-Off: Winners Of 2010

Continuing on from my last post, here are my winners of the face-off!

Mac 187

I got this back at the beginning of summer, i was so excited to get it, but after paying about £30, i really didn't want to use it to make it dirty (ha!) but its such a good brush, if you have to money to spend on a foundation brush, i definitely recommend this one. its amazing! 

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation.

I've been using it a few months, i'm not sure about their colour range as i usually just look for the lightest ones, but this one matches me really well. I love the formulation of it and i like that its matte. Im not a fan of the shiny face!

Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

The only thing i don't like about this is the price, other than that, its such a good mascara. It separates your lashes and adds length well.

Sleek's twist-up eye pencil.

I've only been using it for about a week, but its so smooth and goes on well! A very good eyeliner if you like something similar to a khol, but don't like liquid liners.

What products win your face-off? any of the one's i've mentioned?

Finally!

After waiting a month, today i finally received my Sleek order! Its been annoying me so much recently that i've had to e-mail so many different people, get no response, try an find a phone number (that doesn't work) and eventually go mad at the general manager. 

They had such poor customer service, to say the least. 

Yesterday, after waiting days for my order that was apparently dispatched Thursday of last week, i decided that enough was enough. I heard back from the general manager who told me it wasn't actually dispatched and it would be dispatched tomorrow (today) i went mental and replied with a pretty pissed off e-mail. I told him that id been waiting for far too long, i wanted my postage refunded and i wanted it sent by courier on next day delivery for the aggravation, annoyance and time wasting they had caused me (amongst lying, ignoring and being generally shit!) He replied and agreed, so it eventually turned up today. I don't think i've ever had to wait so long for a parcel that should supposedly take 3-5 working days.


Anyway, thats the downs, on the up side, the make-up is good and although it was a looong wait, it was worth it. The eyeshadows are so pigmented and the nail varnishes are surprisingly much better than i thought. I've already got quite a few sleek products, but i'm glad i did get the bits i bought as it comes in at such a steal for 50% off.


For anyone wondering, i would buy their products again, but from Superdrug. I'd never waste my time on their site. I didn't want this post to reflect how bad their customer service is or how not only me, but many other people have been pissed around by them, but the "50% off event" was completely un-organised and ridiculous. They need to work on the problems they encountered with this sale before they even conceder doing another one. (Which they are apparently doing, for anyone that missed out. Beware!)


I don't plan on really doing reviews or anything in this post as i'll wait till i use them, but for now, here's a few of the bits i got.

Did anyone else buy anything from them or try and get anything? How did you get along with it?

Sleek 50% off
