Hi everybody!

When I saw first reviews of The Berry Collection from Sleek I knew I had to buy it! It went on sale on 23 November and I picked it up straight away :) The gift set costs £9.99 but if you have some Superdrug receipt, complete their online survey and you'll get 25% off Sleek products. You can also get it at sleek.com

What Sleek says: "Sleek MakeUP’s gift to you this party season is the limited edition Berry collection! Get berrylicious this Christmas with this three piece collection featuring rich, sultry berry tones. Add a flush of warmth to your cheeks with Fenberry blush, for the perfect wash of crimson rose. Flattering festive eyes will be yours with, Kohl Pencil in Mossberry, a deep burgundy chunky liner that is easily smudged for a cloud of berry-hued smokiness around the eye. Finally finish the look with True Colour lipstick in Cranberry, a matte mulled wine toned shade that will add a kick of spiciness to your party look!"

Kohl Pencil in Mossberry - the pencil is quite hard but I hope it is only the first top bit and then it will be better. The colour is in my opinion more suitable for lips than eyes but I'll give it a chance :)

True Colour lipstick in Cranberry is very nicely pigmented. it is quite dry but on the other hand it didn't 'bleed' on me and had nice rich matte colour. If it's too dark for you, just lightly dab it on you lips and spread the light colour wwith your finger. I like the colour, it reminds me Estee Lauder in Sarong or Mac Rebel.

Fenberry blush is very nicely pigmented it looks to me like it will be good for contouring or just adding a little colour to my cheeks. I had a little problem to get into the packaging, I had to use my nails to open it which I hate :-/ I have the same problem with Illamasqua packaging.

Swatches L-R: lipstick in Cranberry, Kohl Pencil in Mossberry, Fenberry blush
I find the swatches quite colour accurate in comparison with the pictures above.

Fully coloured lips (excuse my chappy lips)

Hi girls :)

I finally swatched the whole Muppets collection :) Today is the summary of all the glitters. You can have a look at the Part 1: Colours if you haven't seen it already.

All the glitters except Excuse Moi! were exactly the same only differed in colour. They are great for layering, in fact they look much better layered over another colour. All the swatches here (except Excuse Moi!) are over Color Club Black.

Getting’ Miss Piggy With It - small red hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. Again I've used one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. It dries fast and you better use the fiol technique to remove it. This combo reminds me of Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers polish except in DL polish are all glitters red, no silver ones. I personally like this mani with Getting’ Miss Piggy With It better...and it's chaper ;)

Fresh Frog of Bel Air - small green hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. I've applied one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. There's not much more to say about this glitter, only that it dries fast and looks good :)

Gone Gonzo! - small light blue hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. It has exactly the same formula as other glitters in this collection - dries fast, it's tough to remove and applies good. This one reminds me Revlon Blue Mosaic except it doesn't contain green glitter.

Rainbow Connection - different size and colour glitters in a clear base. This is a great layering polish. I don't like it by itself, it looks like circus on the nails or confetti, just too much. But like this over black or white it looks quite nice :)

Divine Swine - purple and silver glitter in a clear base. The purple glitter is ordinary small glitter, the silver glitter is bigger hexagonal glitter. It dried fast which is always great. It really reminds me of polishes like Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance.

Excuse Moi! - beautiful dark pink jelly with different size and colour glitters. There's so many colours that I'm not going to write them all :D I've applied two thicker coats and you can see the coverage in the pictures. I think it's pretty good for a glitter and jelly :) It dried reasonably fast. As most glitters, I had to use a layer of topcoat to make it nice and smooth. This polish is really adorable and I like it the most from all the glitters in the collection :)
