I've been eyeing up some of these bits for quite a while so I took the plunge this week. Just my luck that the day after, Superdrug's 3 for 2 mix and match made a return (as well as bonus points on cosmetics)! But if you fancy grabbing any of these make sure you use the offer!
Collection
I love Collection as they're such fantastic value. After having a sniff of their Cream Puff Lip Creams (£2.99 each) I decided to get Cotton Candy and Angel Delight. Cotton Candy is a blue-toned pink (which is totally different for me) and Angel Delight is a brown-toned nude. I also got one of their Deluxe Lipsticks (£3.99) in Charleston, which is definitely lighter and more sheer than I thought! It does have a little touch of shimmer but that's hardly visible once applied.
Maybelline
I had wanted to pick up a Colour Elixir too in Caramel Infused but unfortunately they'd all been opened. So I picked up a Coloursensation Lipstick (£6.99) in Velvet Beige, a lovely dusky pink. I chose this because Hannah from A Day in the Life of a Northern Girl was wearing it at the Bloggers Tea Party Event and I couldn't believe it was such a cheap shade. Again there's a tiny bit of shimmer but you can barely see it.
Sleek
I've heard little-to-nothing about Sleek's Matte Me (£4.99) range but so far I'm really impressed with the dusky pink shade I got, Birthday Suit. Another bit of a copy-cat purchase was the True Colour Lipstick (£4.99) in Dare, as Ellie from Life of Ellie Grace was wearing this at the Little Black Dress event and I thought it was a gorgeous shade. It's a red-toned berry matte, not a million miles away from their Vamp shade.
Let me know what you think of what I chose and I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried any of these shades before!
The colour 'dare' is amazing!! Such a gorgeous colour!!

DeleteGreat purchases! Love Sleek Matte Me in Birthday Suit! Coincidently I saw another blogger talking about it yesterday and I thought the colour looked beautiful. Will definitely check it out, especially now that Superdrug got a 3 for 2 promo in all of their makeup. :D xx

Yes definitely, such a nice dark nude xx
DeleteAll of those colours look gorgeous! The only one I'd feel comfortable with is Dare but some of the others look gorgeous so I might be brave and give it a go! :)

They're so cheap so it's definitely worth spending that to try something different (instead of £15 on a MAC one that's a bit of a risk!) x
Deletethat sleek lippie looks perfect for Autumn/Winter! I may have to invest. A girl can never have too many red lipsticks! :) xo
