First Impression Fridays Featuring Urban Decay, Sleek and Gosh

Hello there!

Welcome back to another first impression Friday. This month I don't have too much to show you, mainly because I am trying my best to save some money (If you have any tips please share them down below, I need all the help I can get!). Anyway I have three beauty products to show you all that I have tried and tested throughout the month and here they are...

URBAN DECAY GWEN STEFANI EYE SHADOW PALETTE

This month I was lucky enough to get my hands on the very sought-after Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette. The palette contains 15 eyeshadows including matte and shimmer shades. One of the best things about this palette is the wide selection of colours and textures. They make the whole palette very versatile allowing you to create so many different looks. Like all Urban Decay products the eyeshadows are of a very high quality with strong pigmentation and staying power. They don't smudge or stick when blended with other products either. To be honest this palette is the perfect addition to my make-up collection. Stay tuned to my Youtube channel for a tutorial using this palette soon.  

SLEEK MATTE ME LIPSTICK IN BITTER SWEET

I fell in love with this Sleek matte me lipstick colour bitter sweet in store and because Sleek is so affordable I thought I would pick it up. Plus, I'm a little late on the matte lip trend and wanted to try it out. The colour is exactly as I imagined when applying it and it has some serious staying power. The formula however, is a little strange to me. Not bad, not good just different to anything else I have experienced. At first it feels quite sticky but when it dries it feels almost chalky. Also, I think, although it doesn't state so on the packaging, that this lipstick has some lip plumping properties. After the product had been applied for an hour or so I felt that my lips looked alot bigger. If you've experienced anything similar please comment down below to let me know.

GOSH VELVET TOUCH LIPSTICK IN SWEETHEART

 I am not over exaggerating when I say that I am in love with this Gosh velvet touch lipstick in sweetheart. The colour, the formula, the texture and the finish are everything I look for in a lipstick; minimal stickiness, maximum pigmentation, strong staying power and a more than reasonable price tag. This lipstick is so versatile too. I have paired it with all of my daily make-up looks from my classic winged liner and smokey eyes to more natural minimal make-up. It's just the perfect lipstick shade. I'm officially obsessed.
