Superdrugs Haul Part 1 (Sleek Palettes)

Hi hi!

Rather than a long and picture heavy entry, I have decided to put the Superdrugs haul into 2 or 3 parts, I will include the 'brand' of the featured products in the title, so you can click on whichever you like to read about! The next thing I must learn in Photoshop is how to 'combine' pictures together. Now that Sis is back, she can show me how!

And I am so happy to get my trusty digital camera back, so I am really trigger happy with the pictures.

If you want to see the other Superdrugs stuff she bought for me, click here for part 2 and part 3.

I wrote in her list, to grab all the different Sleek Palettes she can find, and these are the 2 she found. I know there is a new one, Graphite, with very cool silvery purple blue smokey colors but she can't find those.. but I think I have a couple coming my way.... so we shall see. :)

The Original palette, I like the combination of colors here, neutrals, smokeys, cool and warm tones.

This is the Acid palette. The matte flourescent colors are super interesting! I can't wait to play with them.

That's all, and I will do many looks with them, and update.

Thanks for reading!

One Item Haul From makeup merchant (UK)

I am so excited about this. I chanced upon one of my fave blogs to read, in case you don't know - hele's blog and holly's blog. Both young moms in the UK, with a passion for makeup too. So, holly started a new blog recently, selling items which you can only get in UK. And she only sells them maybe 1 pound more than retail price, and charges very fairly for shipping. I ordered sometime midweek, and I got my item TODAY> that's super fast!!!

For her blog, which is called Makeup Merchant, click here. So if you want to try out Barry M, eyeko, Sleek palettes (yes, that same one which allthatglitters mentioned in her latest haul, which was given to her by lollipop26 - other pple follow drama serial, I follow YT pple --- but that's another story altogether, and not all good I may add.)

Anyways.. Guess what I ordered: I paid 6 pounds for this, and 3pounds for shipping total is about $22 SGD.. which is reasonable, and hey... it is cheaper than a MAC eyeshadow! See reviews of this amazing product in the first two links I included at the start of the post.

STORM palette there are a few color range.. but this is like the IT color palette.

I am still happy that I paid such a good price for this, and did not have to get rip off from ebay sellers. Asked my cousin to get for me, but she couldn't find it at the superdrug she went to.

And now to show you the colors: Mainly smokey to neutrals, and most are shimmery except for the 2 matte browns which are super for blending.

I am not going to swatch it yet, but you can see swatches and all the endless looks created using this palette on Hele's blog.

So, if you always wanted Barry M, Sleek palettes, and all those UK brands you can now try your luck at Makeup Merchant. She takes Paypal. :)

I have a US fashion haul on its way.... it is taking longer than this cute package, which honestly, took less than a week to arrive from the time I ordered.
