The last of the 5 looks for 5 dollars: Classic Smokey Eye!

Here it is the final look of my 5 looks for 5 dollars with my E.L.F 32 color palette. I decide to go with something that every woman should know how to do and thats the classic smokey eye.

so here what I use: I started off with my usual primer Loreal decrease primer, the followed by my NYX jumbo pencil in blackbean. The first color i used was 7th color in the last row (matte black) followed by the 7th color in the 2nd row (matte reddish brown) to blend it out and a little of the 3rd color in the last row (matte medium gray). I also used the 3rd color in the first row (shimmery peach) as my highlight. I finished the eyes off with Loreal lash primer under Loreal volumious mascara. On the rest of my face I used MAC studio moisture in dark deep, studio fix powder in nw 43, coastal scents bronzer in dark, sleek contour kit in dark, and MAC modesty lipstick.

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!
