NOTD - Collection 2000 in Hoola Hoop

Today i'm wearing Collection 2000's Hoola Hoop which is a bright barbie pink.
I love this colour and its so easy to apply as the brush is really big.
I started off painting my nails with Eyeko's Pretty Polish but it was really streaky and would have needed at least 3 coats to look like the shade in the bottle.
I would definetly recommend the Collection 2000 polishes as they're brilliant value for money & apply really nicely.
Thank You to everyone who has entered my giveaway - im so surprised by how many people have entered!

Review: Sleek MakeUP Palettes

Before I got my Sleek MakeUP Palettes I hardly ever wore eyeshadow. I never really bothered with it as most of the eyeshadows in my collection were purples and blues – not exactly everyday wearable shades.
The first Sleek MakeUP Palette I got was the Original – I won it in Leanne’s contest so I was really pleased as I hadn’t been able to get hold of one in my local Superdrug. There are a wide range of colours in the palette and there really is a shade for everyone. I prefer the bottom row of colours especially the light gold and pink shades as I can wear them anytime. Im not sure if i’ll be wearing the bright blue much, although it might be good for a bright Halloween look!
My second palette is the Storm one, there are a few more neutral colours in this one and you can team quite a few of them together to create an even nicer look. I got this after I fell in love with the Original Palette and I like the colours in this one even more! There are some really pretty golds and some darker shades which make a really nice smoky eye look.

Im going to treat myself to some of the other Sleek Palettes & the Acid Palette is coming back just in time for Christmas!

What I love about Sleek MakeUP Palettes:
•The price - £4.87 for 12 colours – you can’t go wrong!
•The quality – they’re mineral eyeshadows which makes them easier to apply
•They’re long lasting – with a primer the colour stays on all day without creasing
•The pigmentation – you don’t have to apply lots to make them bright

What I don’t like about Sleek MakeUP Palettes:

•The crappy applicator – i’d prefer a brush
•You can only get them in Superdrug – please stock them Boots!

If you haven’t already tried Sleek MakeUP palettes then I would definatly give them a go!
What do you think of Sleek MakeUP, have you tried any of their other products?
