SLEEK BASE DUO KIT: REVIEW

Left:Creme foundation Right:Powder
So in my last blog post I said was running out of my favourite foundation MAC studio sculpt (sad times). However since that post was created I happened to visit my local Superdrug store to have a browse at the drugstore foundations. I went in looking for the MeMeMe Flawless Finish Cream foundation originally, but unfortunately they didn't have my shade in stock. Although I didn't pick up what I wanted, it led to me buying this little goodie... the Sleek base duo kit. 

About the product:
Medium coverage moisturising foundation with SPF 15 and pressed powder. 
Comes in 16 different shade
Retails for £9.99 at Superdrug. 
Its a compact product.

My thoughts:

  • I mainly picked up this foundation due to the fact that I loved it having both the foundation and powder together. It's a great concept and is beneficial as you don't have to buy a powder or foundation separately. 
  •  I love Sleek packaging of all their products, so certainly still love the matte black packaging for this (nice and simple) but it can get dirty. I really like that this product as it is a compact and has mirrors. This means it's a good product to have whilst travelling or to have in your handbag, as you can simply just pop it in and apply foundation wherever you are. However, with carrying it in your bag and things you need to be careful not damage it as the sections can come apart.
  • The shade I picked up was in shell 334 which I feel matches my skin tone well enough. I like the cream/liquid foundation it provides me with a medium-high coverage and can be build-able (I find). I either apply this with my expert foundation brush or with my fingers depending on what I can be bother to do really. There is no particular scent of the foundation or the powder, which I think is a good thing.The powder is completely matte when you apply it, giving you a smooth finish no shimmer or sheen. 
Overall, I am very happy that I found this foundation and would definitely repurchase this again. Sleek have done good!
