Flash review: Sleek High Shine lip gloss minis

These miniature lipglosses were gifts with purchase from Sleek, one with each order my nice boy made for me.
Sleek High Shine Allure lip gloss minis in In Your Dreams (top) and Sweet Sixteen (bottom)
They are tiny! About the length of my thumb, to be precise. They came with a cord on the end, I guess so you can attach it to a keychain or something, but I didn't keep them on.

Swatched over otherwise bare skin, L-R: In Your Dreams and Sweet Sixteen; direct sunlight, no flash
The colors are In Your Dreams and Sweet Sixteen, and both are decently pigmented and have a sugary scent/ taste to them. The full sizes retail for £3.59, or $5.50, and contain 7mL of product.
In Your Dreams
In Your Dreams was picked out by the boy when he made the first order, and it's my favorite of the two. It looks dark bronze in the tube, but it's a pink with gold shimmer on my lips. It doesn't feel gritty, but it is a bit sticky.

Sweet Sixteen was the one I picked out, without having any swatches to go by.
Sweet Sixteen
It looks candy pink in the tube but goes on as a really light sparkly pink, and actually covers my natural pigmentation so my lips look lighter than normal.

Not a big hit for me, but it's not exactly a huge waste either!

These tiny glosses are really handy for nights out, though - since they're even smaller than a tube of lip balm they fit easily into a jeans pocket or tiny handbag :)
