Beauty Review: Sleek & Kat Von D

Finally received my Sleek highlighting palette yesterday after almost 2 months. But the highly coveted solstice was OOS and I didn't wanna wait for it anymore so I just told them to refund me my $. I also ordered a color correcting palette which was OOS too.

So in the end, my parcel only consisted of the Precious Metal highlight palette and 1 blusher.

I also wandered into Sephora after work and left with 2 lipsticks from Kat Von D. 😅 They were too unique to pass.
I also received my Morphe 35W eyeshadow palette the day before!

So many new makeup to add to my collection. 💕

Okay, let's talk about SLEEK first.
This palette costs $14.99 Usd?

Very decent packaging, sturdy and the amount of product is quite substantial too.

Compared to the highly raved Solstice palette, this Precious Metal one is more warm toned and actually much more wearable for your usual day-to-day look in my opinion.
& here's the swatch.

I would probably use all 3 shades on the left except for the darkest one.

I haven't tried it on my face yet so I can't tell if it's really as awesome a product as everyone says it is.

It isn't as pigmented as I thought it would be with just 1 swipe, but it's very build-able though.
Next is a blush in "Rose Gold".

And I got it because it seriously looks like Nars Orgasm to me. & it was only selling $6.99 usd, no harm trying!
& here's a swatch of it.

It's really pigmented! I used on my cheeks today for work and I made sure I applied it very light handed-ly. And I love it!! It gives a really healthy glow & pinched-look to the cheeks. 💕

Actually I think I may have this blush in my collection..... Cause I own a blush palette from sleek.. But I've never gotten around to using it. Shit. I shall go home and check that blush palette out.
Next is the Kat Von D studded kiss lipsticks.

L - Gothica
R - Magick
They both have tiny glitters in them which is why I was drawn to it.

Cause with the amount of lipsticks I have at home, I think I pretty much own every color I would ever need or will wear.

But a lipstick with such glitter in them is something that I don't have!

So I bought it.. Hehe

It cost $31 per stick! If I'm not wrong.
Gothica when worn.

It's a brown tone lipcolor with specks of gold glitter in it and it doesn't look over the top at all when worn.

I'm loving this 💯
This was taken via snapchat.

Copper is the only word I can describe the color. It's not super pigment, but can be layered very well. So I got this effect with 2-3 layers? And it isn't drying at all.

I'll definitely buy this again once I've used it up.

Super unique color!

And for the next color, which also supposedly contains glitter - Magick.

It isn't as glittery as the swatches that I saw online. Not sure if it was the lipstick that I got or what..
Magick on my lips.

If you look REALLY closely, you'll be able to make out a few glitters on my lower lip. 

It is a dusty pink shade that goes on matte and is very opaque. Much more pigmented than Gothica for sure.

This color is surely one that I'll wear very often, similar to what I wore in my previous entry? 

But this gives a high shine look to the lips, it really special though. Cause the color is almost matte but it has shimmering glitters that peeks through and appears whenever it catches the light.

👌🏼

Definitely makes me want to try out more lipstick from the Kat Von D range.

Attended the event with @evepek and @vaingloriousyou! 

The new Sephora is located at B2, opp La Senza and it is huge! 

Even though we attended the media launch which was 2 hours before the official opening, the place was already so so crowded! Everyone was there. Djs, well known MUAs, fashion + beauty + lifestyle influencers. Everyone.

I arrived 40 mins late cause traffic and I took a little longer than I predicted to perfect my makeup and by the time we arrived, the party was in full swing!
But surprisingly, I ended up not buying a lot of things.

I prefer taking my own time to shop and try out products on my hand before I purchase, which was impossible at the event so I only got these 3 items!

- Becca's highlight in Pearl
- Beauty Blender
- Kat Von D tattoo liner in dark brown

Most of the items I wanted were not launched at Sephora yet. Woes of a Singaporean watching US youtubers' videos.. I always wanna get what they are showing! But have to wait months before it hit Singapore.
I'm in LOVE with this Kat Von D tattoo liner.

Before trying this, I used to stick to Kate, Heroine, Dolly wink pen liners.. Until I found my holy grail which was Moteliner that I bought in Japan. I loved it so much I told @jaynetham to help me buy 2 more from japan!

But once I've tried KVD's, I can say this is the best I've used so far.

The brush tip is very fine and flexible yet has a firm base to it. So it doesn't go super bendy and all over the place.
I love that I'm able to have such good control of where I want the brush tip be at and it is so easy to tight line my eyes and get in between my lashes to give a very full lash line effect.

I got it in brown cause I didn't want a super harsh look but it looks pretty dark brown to me, almost like black lor. So I think the black color is like blacker than black. 😂 

This KVD tattoo liner isn't cheap lah, $32, so let's see how long it can last me.. I hate it when my pen liners dries out fast.
I wore this Becca shimmering skin perfector in Pearl the very next day but it was dark by the time I went out so I didn't get to see how it looks like when worn in daylight.

It's very pigmented as what I've expected and it gives an almost white sheen on your skin.

I mostly own gold highlighters because that's the most common & universal color for all skin types, so I decided to add a white highlighter to my collection!

This costs $58 which is seriously expensive..
This was how I wore the becca highlighter that day. Only picture of my face I could find cause I was taking OOTD for my sponsored outfit.

These just came in the mail!! Took me near 2-3 weeks man.😓

But yay!!! 

Let me try and swatch it..
The bottle is pretty huge..
Added 1 tiny drop but it seems to be too much..
Oh my...
I tried blending it out to see how it would look like.. And this is true love
Nothing can top this but I think I'll need to use a beauty blender to spread this product properly on the cheekbones so it won't look too streaky.

I think it can only be worn with liquid base foundation/cushion as I think it wouldn't sit do well on top of powders. 

I'll review it again for you guys once I've tried it out, if you're keen!
& here's Cover FX's cream concealer.

I wanted to try the stick one which was good to be used over blemishes but it was sold out😞

So I got this cream one instead!
A tiny dot which was way too much as usual.😅

I think with Cover Fx products, you'll really only need a teeny tiny bit.

Here's the color blended out. It looks a little pink and I'm kinda worried it wouldn't look right on me.

Shall try it on tmr to see how it goes on my skin.
