Sleek Comestics!!!!!!!

I'm always on a quest to find new products without spending an arm and a leg via, youtube and other blog. A few weeks ago i was in search for an contour kit that had both a highlighting powder and a contour powder. I came across two MAC sculpt and shape powder (which is limited edition, i was able to find it on www.allwholesalecomestics.com) and Sleek cosmetics' Contour face kit.

For those of you unfamiliar with Sleek it is an UK brand only available to us (in the USA) via their website. I placed my order almost a month ago ( thumbs down) I'm not sure if this is the usually time it takes for the products to be shipped or if it was because of the Christmas shopping season. However, once the products were actually sent out it only took five business days for it to get here via USPS (thumbs up for that) so i revived them yesterday in the mail! I was pleasantly pleased with my products ( I also got a beautiful blush). The products are reasonably price the contour kit was 12.93 and the blush was 8.23 (the shipping was 13.50) and definitely worth every penny (not the wait though)! I used the contour kit yesterday and it performed just as well as the MAC!

Overall I do plan to give Sleek another shot, i here great thing about their eyeshadow palettes and there's a few more blushes I want, I just want to see if what took so long was do to the Christmas season or that's normally how long it takes!

Face Contour Kit
A highlighter and pressed powder kit, which can be used to help sculpt and define one’s features. This product contains two powders.
The darker powder is used to create shadows on the face, such as defining the jaw line or contouring the cheekbones. The lighter powder is the highlighter, used to reflect light off the face and can be placed in various places such as the apple of the cheeks, the temple, the tip of the nose etc. 14g

Revlon Photoready!!!!

Revlon is really trying to keep up with the make up big dogs by releasing their version of a HD foundation this Feb/Mar 2010 called PhotoReady. It is currently available in some store as a "trial" (revlon often does this with new products) and i went to my local CVS and scoop this one up!!! It claims to give "Perfected airbrushed skin in any light" It is also oil and fragrance free. There was only 10 colors (I know not much a selection) so i pick it up in cappuccino 011 ( the next shade down was rich ginger 09 there is no 010 at the moment). I noticed it was lighter then the Revlon colorstay in cappuccino, more similar to SFF in NW 45

(l to r SFF Nw45 Photoready in cappuccino 011 and Colorstay in cappuccino note thecolorstay is darker and redder)

The consistency was also less runny then colorstay abd way easier to blend. The finish is a dewy "sheen" that can easily be altered with a powder. It also has a pump, which was one of my major gripes with colorstay! It the standard 1oz/30ml of product and has spf of 20. Overall i'm pleased with this foundation! please see my youtube for a more detailed view coming soon(http://www.youtube.com/user/dahoodmodel)

FOTD: Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation and Mineral Finishing powder

I must say that trevlon is becoming one of my favorite line, the color stay foundation has inspired me to try more of their products, so i picked up the colorstay mineral finishing powder in Sunkiss. I used it instead of MAC MSFN in deep dark, i must say it was beautiful. Unlike MSFN, this did not oxidize and stay in place like the foundation, however it did not control shine (nor does MSFN). Overall i like this powder thumbs up!!!
