Sleek eyeshadow palettes

makeup 2

Today I want to talk about my Sleek eyeshadow palettes which I am totally excited about!
For the last several weeks I have this obsession with eyeshadows, I have been searching and looking at all colors from every possible brand, I even wanted to make my own Z palette, but I just couldn't choose the colors myself so I ended up purchasing these ones from Sleek at a very reasonable price!
I already had one, the Ultra Mattes Darks bought about a year ago, but the other two just arrived today!
I was so excited, I immediatelly started taking photos and I even made swatches, I can't believe the mess I created but I hope the result will be satisfactory for you.

This is the newest one from the big collection, the All Night Long palette and as you can see it consists of neutral , earthy tones and it's funny that I bought this one because if you would have shown me these colors last year I wouldn't even took a glance, I hated them, I found them boring and useless, but just look at these shimmery tones, I especially love the copper colors and the light color from the first row, it's actually a soft pink with golden highlights, the photo simply does not do it any justice, it's gorgeous!

Ah, the Garden of Eden -  this palette seduces you only by hearing its name. This is my favorite of all because it has the perfect violet shades which you can mix together with the perfect green shades! Each color compliments the other perfectly and I just couldn't resist that, you can make endless color combinations that will balance out amazingly.
There are sparkly colors with a satin finish and also matte colors with a light, but very light shimmer, which makes them appear so delicate and beautiful!

This is the Ultra Mattes Darks, the one I had for about a year and I have been using it since, especially the lighter transition colors. As you can tell, all colors are matte and highly pigmented, I especially love the crazy turquoise, the navy blue and the deep violet from the second row.

I also got the Nyx Matte lipstick in the shade Alabama, I really wanted to try out their lipsticks, I heard many great things about them and you know, it really is amazing because the color still has some gloss to it, but it reaaaallly stays on the lips! I mean, I ate and drank in the last 5 hours and it still stays on, but not just that, it looks as the first time I put it on, just perfect!
I wish I could've taken a photo before trying it on but somehow I managed to ruin the top and it looks pitiful right now, but hopfully the swatch will help you see the shade. It's a copper red, a color I really love and I was really looking for a long time!

In Romania, you can purchase these products from The Makeup Shop and I pretty sure you can find them in Sephora as well.

What do you say about them?

If it's Autumn, then I'm wearing purple

 There is this classic feeling I get each Autumn that makes me want to wear purple clothing and violet lipsticks - such as this one I am wearing here, I got it from Nyx in the shade "Transylvania" ( I thought it was appropiate, since I acually live in Transylvania!) 
 Paired with dark greens or teal, or even burnt yellow tones, there are so many possibilites, this color is really suited for this season, it looks bitter-sweet and it leaves me craving for red wine! 
Speaking of Autumn, I fear it's almost gone. All the beautiful leaves are on the ground and the trees look sad, the cold is kicking in and I feel (as almost all years) that I didn't manage to enjoy a sunny Autumn as much as I wanted to.
 But oh well...time flies and we're looking forward for Black Friday sales now, aren't we? Did you made your shopping list?

Violet, purple, mauve

This is what I wore yesterday for a walk outside; it started raining a bit so here I present my goofy old umbrella, I left the stylish one back home, haha.
I came to realization that violet and green, especially light green go so well together, it is one of my favorite color contrasts, a delight to my eye!

This is a simple outfit for me so I decided to accessorize it with a colorful headband and bracelets, but just not too much, you don't need to look like a Christmas tree.
