My Nail Wheels

Aloha Bloggerinos,

In the comments on my last couple of nail polish videos, I have seen one question crop up over and over.

"Where did you buy that nail wheel?"


Well Sprinklerinos, I shall tell you. They were cheapypeapy ones from THIS EBAY SHOP  and have been worth every penny!

If you, like me, are the kinda gal that likes to make videos or blogposts, but doesn't always have perfect nails to model them on, these can be your saviour! Ooorr, if you are a little bit obsessive and wanted to catalogue your collection, this might be your bag. *Goes of to start painting wheels*.

Short and sweet tonight, hope that has helped a few of you.

Do you know of any good beauty bargains? Are you a nail-aholic?

Toodlepip!

Lou's Reviews :: Sleek PPQ Me, Myself & Eye Palette


Aloha Bloggerinos,

Yep, as with all my posts for the next few days, I'm pretty late on this one. Florida and family life prevented me being as on the ball as I (like to think) usually am.

So without further ado, here is the latest Sleek MakeUp eyeshadow palette, just waiting to be added to your collection. Does anyone else collect the palettes?


Sleek's Me, Myself and Eye Palette is said to be inspired by PPQ's S/S11 collection and aims to toughen up a soft feminine silhouette- oh lala.


With a mixture of frost and matte and a wide variety of colours, you would think this would be a winner. For me it isn't. I'm all for lots of colour if it works, like in the original palette, but this seems all a little haphazard. Mint, red, peach and olive all in a row for example, there isn't a happy flow there, in my eyes anyway.

Also, (haha as if I hadn't finished being negative!), matte colours aren't my bag. I'm all for a bit of shimmer and I find matte colours can be pretty chalky with poor pigmentation. Saying that, there will be people out there in the big wide world, who prefer matte shades, so who am I to talk?



Some shmexy swatching for you there m'dears. I think the bottom deep green colour will look beautiful for Christmas.

Apologies for not going into too much detail for this beauty review, but I don't want to rave about something that doesn't float my boat and I'm not in the business of full on slating products. Beauty is only an opinion after all.
