Sleek Arabian Nights-smoke and shadows

Hello everyone, today I am reviewing a product I have been dying for ever since I heard about it.It's the sleek Arabian nights palette.It was a sleek special edition eye shadow but I guess You can still find it in shops.Ever since I saw it I was in love with the range of color's it in.From smokey colors to pretty neutrals for blending and shiny shimmer's for highlight's this palette has got it all.Sleek if a cruelty free brand so it can be bought by vegetarians as well.I got mine from banglashoppers a shop in Bangladesh for 1450tk but now it's price has decreased to 1050tk. You can also order this product online from their page. link of page here: https://www.facebook.com/bangla.shoppers?fref=ts








Now let's talk about the colors.From top left the first two colors are light and shimmery which is perfect for brow highlight.next few colors can be used alone or in combination with the others to create a great smokey look.This palette contains mostly shimmery satin shades with only Stallion being a matte shade.All of the colors have great pigmentation except gold souk which seemed a bit flaky.They also have very good staying power and has 0 fallout.I would totally repurchase this.My rating on this would be 9/10 only for that one eye shadow.

Well that's all for now.Like my fb page for more updates like & comment if you like this review and would like a review on any other specific product and stay pretty.

Smart shopping beauty blender-Thrift Thursday

Hello everyone,
for today' thrift Thursday I am going to show you the dupe for the famous real technique's beauty blender and it is the smart shopping's beauty blender.


Now for those of you who are new to beauty blender they are sponge like well umm sponges used to apply liquid or cream foundation ,contour and highlight in your face.Now the first beauty blender made is  a pink one and that costs $20 which is about 1550tk ,then came out the dupe-ish sponge for the originals pink one from real technique which is $6 but everywhere in bd you get it for 750-850 ish which isn't exaclty cheap or budget friendly.So then we get this dupe of the rt's one from smart shopping and this is the bomb! Trust me when I tell you this blender feels totally like the rt's one.from the shape to the size to the dimensions they are totally alike ,it even feels just as soft but the only difference and this is a difference I like is in the pricing.While in bd you can find the rt's one for 750-850tk this beauty blender is only 300tk that's like less than half of the rt's one!.I have used this one a few times and have washed it once and it is still retaining it's shape so the material seems good as well.It is definitely a must have for people who use cream or liquid foundation as it gives the foundation a nice almost air brushed finished .Will I be repurchasing this, most definitely and you should too.

Sleek Ultra matte v1-Swatch & Review

Hey lovelies,
So today I am doing a review for the sleek Ultra matte v1. SleekSleek introduced this palette and another palette called ultra matte v2 .The v1 is more vibrant and bring and colorful while v2 is more dark and smokey neutral kind.I got mine from the page Let's be pretty but you can get it from banglashoppers for 1050tk.The great thing about this palette is that it is not tested in animals and is suitable vegetarians.




Ingredients-Mica, Talc, Kaolin, Magnesium, Stearate

Dimethicone, Paraffinum Liquid, Ethylhexyl 

Palmitate, Propylparaben and Methylparaben, +/- 

[CI77510, CI 77289, CI 77491, ,CI 77492]. 

Now onto the colors.All of them are matte and unlike most of the sleek palettes this one does not contain a black color which is a  good thing considering the fact that I already have like 5-6 black eye shadows one from each of their palette so don't really need no more.Sadly not all of the color have the same creaminess and the color floss and pow were the least pigmented.The color Bamm was pretty pigmented but a bit chalky ,but expect these all the other colors were super creamy and pigmented.My most favorite color in this palette would probably be a tie between blot,puker,strike and sugarlite cause the are super vibrant and pigmented and blends like a dream.Chill is also a pretty turquoise minty color which I haven't seen in any palette recently.All in all a very pretty summer palette and can be used on wedding and parties as well just add a bit of glitter on top of them and you are good to go.They also have really good staying power and would last for 7-8- hours before fading.For people with tan skin like mine I would suggest using a white base before using the colors to get these colors to pop.Would I repurchase this ,ummm probably not cause I don't really use this colors on a everyday basis so this one will last me for quite some time.
