Review: Sleek MakeUp High Shine Gloss "In Your Dreams"

There are some absolute gems in the Sleek MakeUp product range. I'm not just talking about the palettes, kajals or nail polishes. I'm talking about the bits and pieces that don't seem to get sent out to bloggers and, as such, tend to get ignored.

One of these products in the High Shine Lipgloss. It's pretty much the best lipgloss I've found. They're available at selected Superdrugs or at sleekmakeup.com for £3.49. You get 7ml There are more shades available on the site, plus they won't be all used and gross like they tend to be at Superdrug.


The packaging for this lipgloss is pretty non-despcript and just normal "lipgloss" packaging. A lot of the Sleek MakeUp line is packaged very simply. I like the simple packaging, especially for a budget brand. Too much fancy packaging on a budget brand makes me weary that all the money has been spent on the packaging and not the product inside! There is a difference, however, between simple packaging and cheap packaging.

I have a couple of these glosses now and this is the one I wear the most. I probably will review the other at some point, but I think the review will be pretty much the same as this one! I also own "Shacked Up", just in case you were wondering.


In Your Dreams is quite a deep pinkish red gloss with golden shimmer. I love the colour of this! It's also incredibly pigmented. I think this even is more pigmented than my MAC Lipglasses! The texture is very thick, not runny at all like some glosses can be. I feel it's more like a liquid lipstick than a gloss. It is very glossy though. There's also an interesting taste, quite like burnt sugar or caramel. It's not too strong so I don't find it particularly offensive. I definitely prefer it to the vanilla of MAC's glosses.

For a gloss, this is very long lasting on me. I get a couple of hours out of it before I have to reapply. This is better than my MAC and definitely much better than the Shu Uemura gloss I own. It doesn't leave my lips feeling dried out, or even like they've been moisturised. It does contain Vitamin E but I'm not sure what benefit it's supposed to be having.

I'll definitely be picking up a few more colours in the future.
