Sleek - i-Divine Bad Girl palette

Another day, another Sleek palette! This time, it's the Bad Girl palette, which is made of 12 stunning dark & jewel-toned shadows.
The box proclaims that it's a limited edition palette, but I've seen it in a few branches of Superdrug now. As with the Ultra Mattes Brights palette, it's priced at a very reasonable £6.99. As with all of their palettes, Bad Girl comes with a mirror in the lid & a dual-ended sponge applicator.

The palettes, regardless of edition, are all the same size & it's a good size to carry around for touch-ups. I have found that some of the Sleek shadows can fade a little throughout the day, even when used over primer, so being able to take it with you is a definite plus.

Sleek - i-Divine Ultra Mattes VI Brights palette

I'd seen some pictures of the Sleek Ultra Mattes Brights palette & decided I wanted to check it out. For £6.99 you get 12 eyeshadows, which is a pretty good deal.

The palette is a neat black that isn't huge, it will happily fit in most handbags for touch-ups. Opening the lid reveals a decently-sized mirror, two rows of shadows & a double-ended sponge applicator.

Nubar - Black Polka Dot

Another of my recent Nubar purchases, this is Black Polka Dot. This one is a top coat rather than a polish to use on its own.

Nubar - Teal Glitter

Because I was so impressed with Nubar's Reclaim, I decided to give some of their other polishes a go. One of the shades I got is Teal Glitter.

The texture of Teal Glitter is a good one for a glitter polish, it isn't too rough once dried. It applies easily & smoothly.

MAC - Hey, Sailor! Pigments

Although I haven't bought anything from the Hey, Sailor! collection from MAC, I do already have the two pigments, Naval Blue & Old Gold, lurking around in my stash. Because I've had these a while, they're in the older style of packaging, so they look different to the jars in this collection even though the pigments are the same.

Naval Blue pigment

Firstly, there's Naval Blue. Described by MAC as a "deep smoky blue", there's a hint of purple to this dark navy pigment. One of the more finely-milled pigments, Naval Blue has a frosty finish to it.

Nubar - Reclaim

Yes, it's another holo polish! This time, it's Reclaim from Nubar. This is the first Nubar polish that I've tried. What drew me to it is the shade; Reclaim is a really pretty grassy, mid-green with the linear holo effect that I have a problem resisting.

As with both the HITS & Glitter Gal holos, Reclaim is one of those holos that is a dream to apply, there's no dragging or skipping & you won't end up with little patches where the polish has been pulled away upon application of another coat, which is something I've found all to easy to do with the China Glaze holos.

HITS - Demeter

After being a little disappointed with Glitter Gal's Orange Sparkle, I decided to give Demeter from the HITS No Olimpo collection a whirl.

Although it's not quite as bright as I'd hoped, Demeter definitely comes far closer to the mark than Orange Sparkle did.
