so todays post is going to be a little different to the makeup reviews, I thought id tell you all about my holiday in Dubai last year. I stayed in the beautiful Jumeirah Zabeel Saray  five-star luxury hotel that does absolutely everything in superb style. From its exclusive location on the west crescent of the iconic Palm Jumeirah to the truly spectacular lobby entrance, every detail inspires awe and delight. As soon as I entered this hotel I knew my holiday was going to be incredible the staff were very attentive  to your needs and very friendly. The hotel is on the palm in Dubai id say its about 20 minutes in a taxi to the shopping centres and the waterpark wild wadi. The hotel has multiple restaurants inside it that you can choose from i'd defiantly say the Indian was one of my favourites. This hotel defiantly has it all with the amazing sea views it also has a private beach with luxurious sunbeds. The wifi was also great you could use it in your room, around the pool and even the beach it was totally free!!

I'd say this hotel did not let us down and I'd love to go back in a few years time!

Today I thought I would review one of my must have beauty items, Estee Lauder’s foundation in the Double Wear range. I love the look of the bottle, it’s made out of glass with a matt look to it, it’s compact enough to take it with you, and has a pretty gold lid on top. However, when you open it, I expected a pump to show up.  Because there is no pump, to apply this foundation, it’s best to apply with a foundation brush to your face and then blend with a stippling brush. I do think a pump would of been beneficial but I've had no problem getting the foundation out. When I first applied the foundation I immediately thought it wasn’t the right shade for me But once blended it looked amazing.The foundation shade I bought it 3W1 Tawney 37, which seems darker in the bottle than when actually applied to your face. I was so pleased with the coverage it gave me I'm not one for getting sports so I didn't have that problem but if you suffer with spots this foundation is totally for you!

I purchased this foundation for £20 from feel unique normally £30 but it had £10 off if you spent over £20! I know how good is that? You can purchase this foundation from most online shops  and store.I loved the way this foundation looked on my skin it may be a thick foundation but my face felt light and it covered all the redness on my cheeks.

I hope you enjoyed this mini review x

Today I'm going to do a post all about the new Sleek highlighting palettes as I'm all about a good highlight i feel it really adds to any makeup look. As you all know there are hundreds available on the market ranging from £1-£60! Crazy i know i have a few highlighters in my collection i love the Mac mineralise skinfinnish in Soft and Gentle i also love the SLEEK ones. 

 The Sleek Solstice palette is defiantly one of my favourites as they have a complete dupe for the Becca Champagne pop at nearly £50, this palette is a bargain for only £9.99!!

Ecliptic – cream highlighter
Hemisphere – baked powder highlighter
Subsolar – silky shimmer powder highlighter
Equinox – baked powder highlighter

How gorgeous are these highlighters! my favorite out the four is defiantly the Equinox as this perfect with my skin tone. these highlighters are extremely pigmented! 

The next one i have is the Midas Touch i love this pallete as its very different to anything else i have in my collection. This palette is from the 24k collection, don't get me wrong i wouldn't use all these shades as a highlight for my face but its a multi-use palette i would use some shades for eyeshadows to pack on the colour they would be perfect!

From left to right- 

Cubic Zirconia - powder highlight

Rhinestone- baked powder highlight 

Tanzanite- Silky shimmer powder highlight

Solitaire- cream highlight

Last but certainly not least is the Precious metals pallet this is the first one I purchased as the shades really caught my eye!! They have something for everyone.

Sleek are well known for their deeply pigmented formulas and it goes without saying that these palettes did not disappoint.
