Sleek Whimsical Wonderland

Sleek is one of those brands who continues to surprise me, I adore their makeup and they are forever bringing out surprises. If you are a fan of pastel shades and something that little bit different, then Whimsical Wonderland will be right up your street. Launching on the 1st June with an i-Divine Palette, Lip VIP Lipsticks and Gel Cheek Blushers, this is a launch that will have you whooping with delight.

All the Fun of the Fair i-Divine Palette - £7.99

I love my Sleek i-Divine palettes and have 3 or 4 within my collection. This one has 12 mineral based long-lasting eyeshadows which are long lasting and simply stunning shades which I wish I could get away with wearing. They have quite a creamy texture and have very little fallout which is really impressive and they are more pigmented than I had been expecting. The palette hosts 5 shimmery shades and 7 pastel mattes shades and they are as follows:

On the top row from left to right, the shades are - Carousel, Shoot-The-Chutes, Loop-The-Loop, Ferris Wheel, Twister and Teacups.

On the second row from left to right, the shades are - Hit-The-Bell, Swing Boats, Hook-a-Duck, Helter Skelter, Dodgems and Hall-Of-Mirrors.

 Carousel, Shoot-The-Chutes, Loop-The-Loop, Ferris Wheel

 Twister, Teacups Hit-The-Bell and Swing Boats

Hook-a-Duck, Helter Skelter, Dodgems and Hall-Of-Mirrors

Lip VIP lipsticks - £5.50

Again, with all the fun of a funfair in mind, these three lipsticks are just incredible shades - Fancy Pants, Big Shot and Hot Tottie and in keeping with the VIP lipsticks, of which I am a fan, the formula and pigmentation is superb. All three lipsticks are semi matte and they give a velvet finish with the intense colour. Again, as with the rest of the collection, they are also moisturising and the colour pay off lasts for a good 3-4 hours before you need to re-apply.

Big Shot, Hot Tottie, Fancy Pants

Sweet Cheeks - £5.99

The final item within this collection comes in the form of three Sweet Cheeks Gel Blushes. Again, there are 3 shades that reflect the tones of the lipsticks and they have a gel like formula which allows you to have a sheer wash of colour across your cheeks which you can build upon to your desire.

The three shades are Lickety-Split, Hullabaloo and Tomfoolery and each one is so pretty and not at all as I expected them to be. The texture is one which is really lightweight and it is quite cooling on the skin.  The swatch below shows just one swipe across my arm and each shade is buildable to really make the colour pop, depending on your comfort zone.

Lickety-Split, Hullabaloo and Tomfoolery

The collection will be available from Boots, Superdrug and www.sleekmakeup.com from 1st June 2016.

Soft & Gentle #BodyBalance

For many of us, Soft & Gentle are synonymous with deodorant. Now they are taking to the high-street with a launch of a brand new collection of innovative feminine care products and as I have been trying and testing them out, I am today sharing them with you.

Soft & Gentle are experts in the field of women's personal care and the new collection presents the introduction of a new pH balanced intimate wash and care range.  I am sure many of us have wondered around supermarkets and high-street stores trying to discreetly shove the intimate washes into a basket without anyone seeing us. The lovely people over at Soft & gentle have taken this into consideration and have created a range that is not only discreet but has multi-use benefits.

Enriched with a prebiotic complex which protects and stimulates the skin's natural defences, bringing you beautifully balanced skin.  Each product uses soothing ingredients and cleansing extracts found in all products, they help to reduce any skin discomfort, whilst the delicate allergen-free scents offer all day freshness.

The products are:

2-in-1 Shower & Shave Mousse - described as being the hero product, this shower essential is a must-have as part of your daily routine. The innovative formula delivers a luxurious mousse that leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised.  What I love about this mousse is that you only need a small amount for a large amount of lather and at just £3.99 it is a bargain.

Daily Shower Wash - This is my favourite product from the trio and it is really gentle on the skin. It can be used all over the body and it smells just divine.  It not only moisturises the skin but give you that clean feeling.  Priced at £2.99 for 250ml again I think this is a bargain.

The final product is a Fragranced Spray and until now, I had never used anything like it. Designed to be an intimate deodorant spray for intimate skin it is suitable for use on underwear, sanitary wear and straight onto the skin and it neutralises any odour caused by sweating.  I have found no irritations when using this product and think it is just a brilliant concept.  Priced again at £2.99 it is well worth trying.

All these products are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin, it is gynecologist approved and dermatologically approved and dermatologically tested range is pH balanced.  You can find them at Superdrug, Boots Morrisons and in independent pharmacies.
