Review- Sleek Pout Polish

A couple of months back I ordered a few items from just4girls.pk. Sleek's pout polish was one of them.

Sleek Pout Polish in Electro Peach

My Experience:

This season, I'm officially obsessed with tinted lipbalms.I cannot explain how dry and chapped my lips are throughout the year. Fascinated by the name "pout polish" I decided to give sleek's tinted lip conditioner a try.

This pout polish turned out exactly how I expected it to be. I had gone through numerous reviews before ordering the color and thankfully electro peach was my perfect shade. At first I was a little scared by seeing that dark reddish coral balm in the pot since I'm not at all a fan of red bold lips but upon application, it looked a very pretty light coral color.

Being a "tinted" balm it's color payoff is extremely good. I don't know for the lighter colors, but this one sure does show up on your lips with the very first application.

I have to say I do really like the packaging. It's nothing too special but the pot still attracts me alot.It's one of those products that I'd like to get the whole range of and keep them in my vanity just because they look nice.

The pot is much lighter than I was thinking it would be since it looked like a heavy glass pot on the internet. But it's quite light weight. Perfect to carry around.However I do have a problem here. It can be pretty unhygienic to dip your finger in the pot again and again. I try to apply it with a lip brush but when in rush, I have to put my finger in. Make sure your fingers are clean and NEVER let anyone else apply your balm with their finger.

The polish has an SPF 15 which is nice since none of my other balms have it. I has a warm vanilla-ish scent which is quite pleasing but not over powering. 

Since the formula is very moisturising it's staying power is not good. I'm talking about the color here. But hey! Its a lipbalm, color is not our concern. As for the conditioning effect, I love it. It leaves my lips soft and keeps me away from biting them again and again. I'm for sure getting more colors but I've heard that MUA lip balms are great too and half the price so lets see whether I go for them or I end up buying the pout polish again. 

End Note: Sleek's pout polish is my absolute favourite. I reach for it daily since I get moisture on my lips along with a nice tint. I'd totally recommend getting these.

Review- Sleek Glisten Me Liquid Iluminator

I've been looking for a good liquid illuminator since ages. So when Just4girls.pk announced that they've become the official re-sellers of Sleek makeup,I scanned all of sleek's product and stumbled upon this illuminator. I can't believe I didn't pay attention to it before. I should have gone for it ages ago.

Sleek Glisten Me Liquid Iluminator 

A liquid illuminator containing light reflecting mica pigments for highlighting areas of the face such as the brow and cheek bones to create a glowing appearance. It can also be used to add a glistening look all over the body.

For highlighting, apply a small amount of the liquid to finger tips and smooth gently over the skin. For an overall glowing complexion, mix a small amount of the product with your usual foundation and apply. 30ml

Sleek Glisten Me in Empress.

My Experience:

The one thing I've always wanted to have was that glossy glow on cheeks. It just looks so amazing and glam but I don't think I ever succeeded in creating it,the result of a foundation with dewy finish is another thing,I'm talking about that extra shine that adds an oomph to you face. 

This illuminator actually gave the result that I was expecting. I never paid attention to it on sleek's site. My main interest was towards their blushes and eye palettes. Where the hell was I sleeping?

So after doing a little research I couldn't resist myself from ordering this.It comes in two shades Empress and Goddess. I got empress since it was lighter. Goddess has more of bronze tones to it. Since I only wanted glow I went for empress. If you are more of a bronzed glow person then Goddess might be the one for you. The container is a small glass bottle with 30ml of product. I think it is alot since you need a very small amount for application. They've provided with a spatula under the lid. The amount present on half of the spatula is enough for both cheeks in my case.

The texture of this illuminator is very smooth and creamy. It's neither too thick nor runny. I like how light  it feels on skin.The last thing you want on your face is something heavy on top of your foundation.

Since it blends very easily you need a very light strokes of brush to set this on your cheeks.I use a stippling brush for my application but that's just my preference. You can use your fingers as well to apply it by tapping it on the areas you want to highlight. I usually take some out at the back of my hand,dip in the stippling brush and apply it on the face. If I want an intense glowy look I stipple it very lightly but if it's day time and I just want a glow,then I just swirl the stippling brush to blend it in.

It's lasting power is okay though. On my face it lasts for around 2-4 hours. I wish it lasted more because when you're out,the few things you may re-touch are only powder,blush or lipstick. Highlighter is not something that I would carry around in my bag. 

Since it is colourless, you don't have to worry about the colour of your foundation being changed. You can easily apply it on specific parts like cheeks,On the cupid's bow nose or even collar bones without creating colour,but just sheer natural glow.

If you want a very light glow all over your face,you can even mix some of it with your foundation. I did try that but I like to use separately more than when mixed with foundation simply because I have big pores around my nose and I don't want to highlight them. Speaking of pores,even when using it separately,do not bring it anywhere near your open pores or bumpy skin. They'll get accentuated and make your skin look bad. 

End Note: Love this Illuminator! It's probably the best highlighter I've tried so far so I'm gonna be repurchasing this when I run out of this bottle (If Ever!). If you're a fan of glowy cheeks then I would definitely recommend this.
