Review : Sleek True Color Lipstick

These are probably my 8th and 9th lipstick purchase this month. If there's anything I have quite a lot of, it's lipstick. But these two were so hard to pass up.

Check out my previous post for product photos

First up, Sleek True Color Lipstick in Barely There

I'm so glad I had the chance to test this shade because I wouldn't have bought it online. It looks really light in photos and there are certain light shades that make me look like a corpse LOL. But this one was definitely a winner from the first swipe.

Next is Sleek True Color Lipstick in OMG

It looks bloody red in the photo but in person, it's more orange than red, which is what I was looking for. I was originally aiming for the shade called Papaya Punch but it didn't suit me. This was a much better choice! 

They're really so easy to apply because both these shades have a sheen finish. The staying power also isn't bad at all. For Php 400 each, you won't hear me complain!

Review : Sleek Creme to Powder Foundation

For just PHP 650.00, this foundation packs in a lot of power.  I didn't think I'd ever be able to find a product that will help me address my main frustration when it comes to my skin : OIL.

I am so excited to share this because I know there are a lot of you out there who share my frustration.

Today, I got to try it out because I had to go with my toddler to her Halloween Party in school. It was the perfect time to do so because I knew I wouldn't be holed up in an airconditioned room the whole time. I really was so excited to put this to the test!

Here I am as soon as I got to the school, about 15 minutes after application

(I'm wearing Sleek's True Color Lipstick in Barely There)

Then here I am about 2 1/2 hours later. Take note, no airconditioning.

At this point, I was already extremely impressed by it but I decided to take another photo just to prove my point.  This last photo was taken approximately 4 1/2 hours after application, as soon as I got home.

I never had to touch up or use oil blotting paper (my bestfriend) the whole time. 

I'm so sorry, MAC Studiofix, I've obviously found a much better foundation. You've served me well but it's time to move on with Sleek!

P.S.

I just thought it would be nice to show all of you how oily my skin really is

This photo was taken last night, after coming home from a dinner out with friends.

I used MAC Studiofix, stayed out from about 6pm to 9pm and stayed in an airconditioned room the whole time. But look at how oily I am!

SLEEK Haul

I finally got a hold of them last night! We had a mini try-out session after dinner because my friend, Smile, who runs the site Updated Trends brought her stuff with her for the rest of us to try. Winner plan!!! (Updated Trends is one of two online stores that carries Sleek)

Because everything was within reach and with testers at that, I easily gave in to temptation.

Creme to Powder Foundation, Php 650
(I'll blog about this separately because it deserves its own entry)
You can get this from DigitalTraincase

I chose SAND which is next to the lightest shade they have

Looking at the pan, I knew I had chosen the right shade

Up next, the blush which I got in Pomegranate. Php 400.
I love the really compact packaging. It fits right into my tiny kit.

I made a stupid mistake and rushed to open it so that my nail dug into the blush when I flipped the lid (see that dent on the left side?). Does it look scary in the pan to you? It kinda does. But I'm sure with a light hand, it will all work out good. I've never tried a similar shade before and I'm in the mood for a bit of adventure! I can't wait to take this out on a road test!

Last but not the least, lipstick! I can't not have lipstick!

Php 400 each.

Again, two thumbs up for packaging! The tubes are so elegant-looking. I love that they're black.

I chose BARELY THERE and OMG, both with sheen finish. This, after trying on so many other shades!

OMG on the left, BARELY THERE on the right

One dark and one light.

I'm happy!
