Sleek Nude Collection: Au Naturel Palette ★★★★

From Sleek's Nude Collection is the Au Naturel palette - consisting of seven matte shades and five shimmer shades. I'm so glad that Sleek name their shades now- it makes it so much easier! These are all very pigmented and very wearable. I love Taupe, Conker, Mineral Earth and Regal, but can definitely say I would use every single shade - Nougat is a perfect highlight for me too. Definitely one of my favourite Sleek palettes!

L- R Nougat, Nubuck, Cappuchino, Conker, Moss, Bark

L-R Honeycomb, Toast, Taupe, Mineral Earth, Regal, Noir

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipsticks ★★★★

I managed to get a hold of seven Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipsticks - a line that I believe was discontinued after the introduction of the new ColorSensation line :( These are amazing lipsticks - a huge range of shades and for a drug store lipstick these have a great staying power.

The shades I bought are Born With It, Roseberry, Royal Red, Peach Mocha, Sweet Ginger, Plum Wine and Rum Raisin.

Born With It: a gorgeous pink based neutral shade with subtle shimmer
Roseberry: a pure dark plum shade
Royal Red: a true red with no shimmer that can be built up upon for an instense red lip
Peach Mocha: a beautiful pink based brown, a perfect 'my-lips-but-better'
Sweet Ginger: an opaque pink based brown with noticeable gold shimmer
Plum Wine: a dark plum, a gorgeous shade that can be built up upon
Rum Raisin: a brown shade with hints of pink and a gold shimmer finish

L-R Born With It, Roseberry, Royal Red, Peach Mocha, Sweet Ginger, Plum Wine, Rum Raisin

Top 15: MAC Eyeshadows (August 2011)

So what are my top MAC eyeshadows? Well, from my tiny tiny only-just-started collection I've managed to choose fifteen :)

With my green eyes I do like my purples - Stars N Rockets, Trax and Beauty Marked.
 
I also love greens and blues using Fashion, Tilt, Freshwater, Birds & Berries, Steamy and Juxt.

Neutrals are a must for me: Vex, Shale, Solar White, Shore Leave, Mulch and Black Tied.
