Sleek Makeup has some awesome palettes with very reasonable prices and this palette is definitely one of them.
Solstice Highlighting palette contains four highlighters – three powders and one cream. It has cool and warm tones mixed together which is good. Sometimes I need a golden glow and other times I want a cool shimmer.
You may ask yourself: Do I really need a palette just for highlighting?
And the answer is of course!!! not necessarily, but..
.. the packaging is gorgeous! Especially compared to Sleeks’s usual black packaging this looks luxurious and I love to just look at it. I guess it just makes me happy.
.. the colors work well as eye shadows too. So really you get four highlighters as well as four pretty shimmery eye shadows. I feel like they work best on the lid or in the inner corners. The creamy color, Ecliptic works as a creamy eye shadow base for a glittery shadow.
.. it’s long lasting. The colors are really pigmented so you don’t need to use a ton of it at once. It’s still not crazy pigmented as some highlighters are – so you don’t have to worry about getting white streaks on your face. Of course you can pack it on to make it really intense but the glitters are quite fine so it looks beautiful on your face.
For 12,49€ it’s quite a deal! What do you think? Do you have this palette or some other highlighting palette?
This year is almost over and it’s time to choose the winners – the best beauty products of the year. I use a lot of different products so choosing the ultimate products wasn’t easy. There are so many amazing products that I love and use constantly but I didn’t want to choose 100 products..
Instead I picked you 10 products that I used during this year and that I absolutely love and recommend to you. (I wanted to type on every single one of these products: this is the best!!!! but I chose to express myself differently.)
*adlinks marked
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer *link There is magic in this world and it goes by the name NARS RCC. This is a lifesaver. I’m never giving up on this one (or looking tired again)! My shade is Vanilla.
This can be found on almost every makeup look I do.
MAC Satin Lipstick in FAUX *link I feel like I hopped on to the MAC-train a little late but I’m glad I did. Their lipsticks are good! I love this beautiful nude shade (muted mauve-pink). This leaves a semi matte finish.
Here is an earlier review and a photo of me wearing this lipstick.
Urban Decay Vice 4 This is seriously the best palette I own. It has some nude and brown shades and then it has all the colors I could wish for. It’s the perfect size too and I love the big mirror – I often take this with me when I’m travelling.
See makeup looks made with this palette under the Vice4 Tag.
Philosophy purity made simple *link Oh, purity. You make my life a lot easier. Taking off makeup can sometimes be exhausting, but with this it’s quick. I remove all my makeup (face, lips, eyes) with this and continue with my life. Purity made simple literally.
Madara SOS Hydra Repair Intensive Serum
A moisturising serum for all skin types that actually works for my mixed and sometimes really oily skin. Lightweight, soft and lovely. Works as a serum or as a moisturizer in Summer.
PATYKA Almond Blossom Moisturising Body Milk
Body lotion that made it to this list – let’s give applause! Ever since I got this lotion I’ve had a feeling I don’t want to let go of it. This is my second product already. This smells like heaven, is lightweight and nourishes my body really well.
Earlier post about new green beauty favorites here.
RITUALS The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel *link Shower gels matter. I’ve understand it’s an easy way of bringing luxury into your every day life. I love these foaming shower gels from Rituals and I have them in different scents. This scent is really clean and pure and quite unisex.
UNIQUE Hair Care Moisturizing Shampoo
The best thing for my difficult, dry and sometimes oily scalp: 100% organic shampoo. This feels like a regular shampoo, it foams and it cleanses well – all without the usual chemicals that’s in shampoos. This is a keeper.
Wella Professionals Eimi Perfect Me Lightweight BB Lotion *link The best BB-cream of the year is for hair. This product is lightweight yet it makes my hair soft and easy to work with. And it’s really long lasting.
HURRAW! moon balm lip balm – *link The holy grail of my existence. This is the lipbalm. This is the most hydrating and the best lip balm there is – again – without any harmful chemicals. It’s organic, vegan and made with raw ingredients. We all know it: we eat a lot of the products we put on our lips.. so this is the perfect (and safe) choice for your lips.
Now. Tell me: What are your top beauty products for this year?
Also, I think in year 2017 I will be start doing Monthly Favorites – what do you think about that?
