Limited Edition Sleek i-Divine RIO RIO Palette Review

Hello All!

So today I have a review of the latest Sleek palette- the Limited Edition Rio Rio Palette, exclusive to Superdrug at £7.99.

You may remember that I LOVED the last Limited Edition Palette (the Del Mar one) and I've used it loads. I like this one as well, although I'm not such a huge fan of these colours.

Here they are swatched:

They have names that are hard to pronounce!

Top row- Tropics, Night Fever, Ipanema, Caipirahna, Urca, Leblon

Bottom row- Cachaca, City of Gold, Copacabana, Sao Conrado, Bossa Nova and Leme 

There's some interesting colour possibilities here and a good mixture of matte and shimmery shadows. Enjoy!

You can buy at Superdrug or on their website.

MUA Matte Lipstick- Lilac Belle

I love MUA lipsticks and was excited to see new shades in their £1 matte range. I grabbed this one- Lilac Belle! It's really nice and stays well. And for £1, who can argue?

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick

Amazing product! I love the colour I got too- it's number 02 Frambourjoise. It's quite muted which I like. This lasts quite well; I've heard other bloggers say it 'doesn't budge' but I don't agree- it wears off on me quite fast but I've yet to find anything that really stays on my lips apart from Maybelline 24 Hour lipstick. So this is pretty good I guess. The formula feels lovely- quite luxurious!

It has a doe foot applicator which I am not a massive fan of but it works well with this product:

Here's swatch before it dried fully so you can see the colour. It does dry to a matte finish in the end!

Have you tried this? What other shades are worth getting?

Barry M Gelly Shine Nail Paint

Hey all!

So on my crazy Boots spree the other day I picked up two more Gelly Shine Nail Paints from Barry M. These are so great and I love the formulation and the colour range!

Here are the ones I got:

The first one is a lovely purpley- blue shade that doesn't really show up well on camera. It's really subtle and it's called Blueberry. I love it!

The second one is gorgeous too and called Sugar Apple. I can't wait to try it!

What do you think? Do you have any of these?

They are only £3.99 and I got mine at Boots but they are also available at Superdrug.

Barry M Matte Nail Paint

So as I was perusing the racks at Boots, I was drawn to the Barry M stand. I think Barry M are now mainly known for their nail varnish, whereas back in the day I always went for their dazzle dust! Anyway, they have SO many amazing shades and I accidentally bought a few. I was interested in their matte range. I have a matte topcoat that I use which turns any nail polish matte, but this seemed cool- it's missing out a step after all!

So I got 3 colours and they were £3.99 each.

I just couldn't resist!

The first one is this lovely blue shade called Malibu:

Then this lovely candy pink, called Miami:

Lastly this green colour, which is called Waikiki:

I was drawn to this as a sort of lime green or grass green shade, but I'm not really sure about it- I veer between thinking it's kind of retro in a 1970s bathroom kind of way and then thinking it's rather unpleasant!

The formulation is good and it dries fast to this awesome matte finish!

Let me know what you think?

Rimmel Kate Moss Idoleyes Eyeshadow Stick

So another new Rimmel product to try! This is the Idoleyes Eyeshadow Stick by Kate Moss in the shade 103 Pure Turquoise.

I'm not a huge fan of chubby eye sticks but I love this one. The colour is beautiful and it lasts all day. It claims to last 24 hours and be waterproof- I haven't tested either of those but, suffice to say that once it's on it doesn't budge.

It's a lovely colour- bold but not too bright.

Highly recommended!
