Sleek Storm Looks with a Urban Decay Naked Palette dupes-LOTW-Palette Project

This week I used the Sleek Storm Palette. I liked this palette A LOT more than the Sleek Orginial, but found that I got bored with it easily as the colors are not super orginal. These colors could easily be found in other palettes and because I have so much makeup, it was easy for me to get bord with this palette quickly. However, at the end of the day, for $10, this palette is a good deal, with two really nice matte colors, that are very similar to the ones in the Urban Decay Naked Palette, which I will compair at the end of the post.

On to the looks:

SUNDAY

MONDAY

TUESDAY

WEDENSDAY

THURSDAY

FRIDAY-This is with Sugarpill Birthdaygirl on the lid

SATURDAY- No time for makeup. I woke up 15 min before I had to be at work for my double shift :(

AND as promised, here are the dupes from the mattes in the Sleek Storm Palette and the mattes in the Urban Decay Naked Palette:

On the left is the light brown matte color in the Sleek Storm Palette and on the right is the UD Naked from the Naked Palette

 On top is the dark matte brown from the Sleek Storm Palette and on the bottom is UD Buck from the Naked Palette 

I think these dupes are pretty close. The light brown mattes are pretty darn close and the for the dark brown mattes the Sleek is a tad darker, but they are still close in color.

What do you think? and what are your favorite looks??

My favorites are Sunday and Thursday!

Two Reviews, I think I found a dupe! PLUS a FOTD

Hello Ladies! Happy Monday!
I have two reviews for you. I was wondering around CVS and I came across  the Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Hot Pink Rose. When I saw it I thought it looked really similar to the MAC Dare to Wear, Gimmie that! lipglass, which I always wanted but never got, so sorry ladies, but I personally do not have a comparison swatch for you . However, I took the swatch from Temptalia's Dare to Wear swatches, so you can get an ideas for your self. I think the MAC's Gimmie that! lipglass and Revlon's Hot Pink Rose lipgloss look very similar and I think it is a great dupe for the lipgloss. What do you think?

Temptalia's swatch of Mac's Gimmie that!


Revlon's Hot Pink Rose cost $9.00 and I am sure it can be found at any local drugstore. I love the texture of the lipgloss. It glides on smooth and is not sticky at all. The lipgloss has very fine particles of glitter in them which you can see but I cannot feel them on my lips at all. As you can see from the swatch and you will see in my FOTD, the lipgloss is very pigmented and can be worn without lipstick underneath. I really like this lipgloss A LOT!


My next review is the MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NC15/NW20. This pencil is amazing! It is smooth and glides on my waterline line like butter. It is also long lasting. It stayed on my waterline all day and didn't budge one bit!!! I even laughed so hard that I cried yesterday and color was still on my waterline!! This is rare for me, usually I have to reapply the eyeliner to my waterline throughout the day, but not with this one. I swear I even had some left over on my waterline when I woke up this morning. YES! It is that long lasting..lol



I couldn't swatch it for you on my hand because it just blended right in, but here it is on my waterline



and here is the complete FOTD with the Revlon Hot Pink Rose



On my cheeks I am wearing MAC's dollymix blush, NARS albatros as a highlighter, and Benefit Hoola bronzer to contour

Sweet Joy E/S from Cruelle De Vil Collection
Bed Fairy Nail Polish from the Maleficent Collection

These are all the dupes she mentioned:

Skip DEVILISHLY STYLISH if you have LOTS OF NUDE GLOSSES; it’s a nice champagne nude gloss, but there’s nothing particularly unique/different about it that makes it a must-have amongst nudes.


SWEET JOY if you have DREAMMAKER, CREME ROYALE, CREME DE MIEL. They are all very similar–pale, light yellow gold with a frosty finish. It has a lovely finish, but you may already have something like it in your stash.


DE-VIL if you have COPPERING. They are incredibly similar.


HER ALTER IMAGE if you have BEAUTIFUL IRIS — if you’re on a tight budget. They do differ noticeably, but it’s not a significant difference. It’s skippable if you have the latter, unless you’re a fiend for pale purples.


VAINGLORIOUS if you have STAR VIOLET. They’re pretty similar.


SHE WHO DARES if you have BLUE FLAME and you’re ONLY interested in the blue side–the green side is not dupeable by Blue Flame (or any of the Style Black eyeshadows).


FORMIDABLE if you have ORLY GALAXY GIRL. They are exactly the same. ORLY is $10, MAC is $13, but MAC may be more accessible for some. You can’t go wrong either way–the product is fantastic.


MEAN & GREEN if you have ORLY SPACE CADET. Same reason as above.

YAY!!! WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON GETTING??
