I made the decision to go cruelty free around 6 months ago now and have felt good every since I made the choice, for me it just felt normal to not harm animals anymore so going cruelty free was a good choice. I understand why people don't as it took me a while to find products that actually worked well for me and looked good but now I have my make up sorted I wanted to share an updated what's in my make up case for you.

Beauty | Sleek I-Divine Au Naturel Eyeshadow Palette
When it comes to eye shadow palettes I tend to go for natural and basic ones as I know this is what I'll wear the most out of bright and daring eye shadows, so I was happy to be gifted a palette for Christmas from one of my go to brands Sleek. It is a set of 12 highly pigmented eye shadows in all Natural and basic shades and tones which is right up my street!
Beauty | Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette
One of my favourite and go to make up brands is Sleek as all there products work well for me and it's one I know I can always find what I want when I shop the brand. For Christmas I was gifted a palette which was the Solstice Highlighting Palette which has four amazing and easy to use highlights, it also comes with a handy brush and amazing packaging.
Lifestyle - October Favorites
Autumn has been my favorite month since my childhood so I always end up with a lot of products and items that I've been loving, so I thought it was only natural to do an October Favorites and share with everyone my Autumn favorites. I always go for comfort in the colder months so a lot of the things I'm going to share are home comforts with a few beauty items.
Candles
I have been burning so many candles this last month that I might have to go candle shopping spree soon, from Yankee Candles to large glass jar candles there is always one burning in my room. The main scent I've been burning has been berries and citrus scents with the odd rich toned candle in the mix, I've been going for the brand Yankee Candles as I find there small sample candles to be cheap enough to burn at free will but also the scent fills the room with such heavenly scents.

Sleek's Life's A Peach Review
I was after a new blusher as I only really only rose ones and wanted to branch out a bit more and go for a orange toned one. So I opted for Life's A Peach by Sleek which is available at Superdrug for £4.49, there are around 6-10 shades in the range but they go from bright to dark tones and are at a great price as you get a lovely slimline case with a great mirror in, perfect for your hand bag!
The colour is a shocking orange which can be off putting but the shade actually comes out lovely and light, it is just a matte colour with no added sparkles or shine. It seems to last a good deal of the day for me around 4-8 hours depending what I'm doing and on the weather.
The shade is a rather summery shade but I do find it perfect for nights out and it can work well as a daily blush, I also love the overall finish the product it gives me a sharp look to my rather round face. What's your favorite Blusher you are loving at the moment?

High Street Vs. Fashion AW13 Lips
My staple product for Autumn/Winter has been my MAC Rebel lipstick but I went on the hunt for an alternative product as each season I won't be able to afford the £15 price tag on MAC products. I came away from Superdrug with a Sleek lipstick in shade Cherry which is perfect for AW and at only £4.99 I can't really complain, So in this blog post I'm going to test out each product and score them out of 5.
Packaging
Each come in small black boxes MAC is with simple white writing and Sleek has a picture on the lipstick you are buying. I prefer the overall look of Sleek's as they are all similar but have different pictures on with separates them from all the other lipsticks, were as MAC all the product are in the same box just a different name on a small circle sticker. So Sleek win this point.
Design
MAC has a bullet design with a silver logo and small silver sticker on the base with the name of lipstick, Sleek is a small black design with black lettering but the base has a picture of the shade of lipstick rather then just the words. What's odd is MAC is a larger design but only has 3g and Sleek is smaller with 3.5g. I much prefer the overall look of MAC so this round goes to MAC.
Colour
Sleek is very glossy and has a nice shimmer to it, were MAC is very matte and has a shine to it. Sleek is labeled as a sheen which I would 100% agree with and MAC is labeled as a satin lipstick which I would also agree with. For this round it's hard to choose but I think I much prefer Sleek.
Feel
On my lips MAC feel's really light as smoothing almost like it is a healing product which I love, Sleek feels rather light but as a drying affect after a while. MAC differently wins in this round
How long does it last
MAC tends to last me around 4 hours and then I have to apply it also doesn't dry my lips up and in the morning my lips feel nice and soft. Sleek last's around the same time 4 hours but does dry my lips out and in the morning my lips really quite worn out. So MAC win this round.
Overall MAC win 3 points and Sleek win 2, I still love my Sleek lipstick and would buy it again.
