Sleek i-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks palette

Last week I visited my local Sephora after a long time, and I had some pleasant surprises. They are slowly introducing brands that have been popular overseas for years now, such as Urban Decay, OPI and Sally Hansen, but also the UK drugstore brand Sleek! I couldn't help myself from getting the i-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks palette.

The packaging is of course sleek - it's black, thin and lightweight. For this reason, I would be a bit scared to carry it in my handbag, but I'm not used to have make-up with me during the day.

The palette comes with a huge mirror -which is always handy- and a long sponge applicator. The dimension of a single pan is about that of a €1 coin (1,5cm diameter). 

The thing that convinced me to get this palette is that it comes with twelve matte eyeshadows, which is very hard to find - unless you're not looking for a drugstore product! All the eyeshadows in this palette are highly pigmented and easy to work with. I absolutely love the neutrals in this palette (the last two in the first row, #1, #2, #3 and #4 in the second row) and I'm definitely going to make the most out of it. I only paid €9,90 for this product and I don't regret it! :)

5 Fall nail polishes

Models Own NP098 Purple Ash, Deborah 10 Cashmere Creme, Chanel 505 Particulière, H&M Hunt me down, H&M Fall in love

I'm so sorry for the absence, but school started last week and I'm already busy as hell. Anyway, these are my top five Fall nail polishes! They're the ones I wear the most because they're pretty much all neutrals and go perfectly together with most of the things I wear during this time of the year. When I want to go for a more "dramatic" look, I choose H&M Fall in love, a deep cherry red. Quality wise I'd say the best one is Models Own Purple Ash, because it's perfectly opaque in one coat and it doesn't chip easily; the worst ones are Deborah Cashmere Creme and Chanel Particulière, as the tips start to get ruined after literally ten minutes. Is it just me??

I'd love to hear what your favourite nail polishes to wear in the Fall! :)

Today I want.. #6

...Burberry Body Rose Gold Eau de Parfum. I bought my first bottle of Burberry Body last October in a Burberry store -everything was so glamorous, I was overwhelmed- and I've been using it religiously ever since. Special memories are connected to the warm scent of this perfume: it was the same perfume that lingered in my room in Oxford, a wonderful city I visited last year; I spent such a great time there! Anyway, Burberry has recently released a limited edition rose gold bottle of this perfume - yes, my dear youtube gurus and fashion bloggers, I said rose gold. Not only my favourite perfume, but also my favourite precious metal! I have to get this. Too bad it's so expensive!

Inglot Freedom System Palette

When I was in Valencia, Spain  during the cruise I did last month I had the chance to do some shopping at Inglot. Inglot is definitely one of the most popular brands between bloggers and make-up gurus, so I decided to try out a few eyeshadows. I love the fact that you can create your own customized palettes thanks to the Freedom System! After swatching tons and tons of eyeshadows (the selection was huge, really. I wish I'd taken a photo of the stand), I picked up three.

Matte 360, Matte 341, Matte 319

As you can tell from the photos, they're all neutrals - you've probably heard me saying I pretty much only use neutral a thousand times! There were some stunning, hyper-pigmented golds in the store, and please don't ask me why I didn't get those or even noted their number down, because I just don't know! 

Anyway, Matte 360 is a cool toned light brown, perfect for crease defining. Matte 319 is what I call an "antique pink". It's blue toned and it looks great applied all over the lid, it gives definition to the eye and it looks very natural. Matte 341 is a nude beigey brown. Those were €7 each, and the palette was free! :D I don't know if it was like a special promotion for that store; if not, you better hurry to your Inglot counter! Getting the palette for free is a huge deal!

I couldn't be happier with the eyeshadows I got. They're all very pigmented, they don't crease, they're buttery soft. The palette is sturdy (and it definitely looks professional); I wouldn't fear carrying it in my bag. They're definitely worth the hype, and considering each one is €7, they're much less expensive than M.A.C ones. I believe they're bigger too! Go get you some Inglot eyeshadows if you can :)
