I did try to photograph the swatches in different light so you could get a better idea of how they show up on the skin. I am also aware that my skin is pale so the colours are going to look different on different skin tones. As the colours are so pigmented they would easily show up on even the darkest skin tones.
On the website they have pictures of different women with varying skin tones with different products on their skin, so this could help give you an idea how colours would show up on darker skin tones.
Each of the colours have a honeycombe type pattern on, which I find makes it so easy to pick the colour up on your brush. The colours can seem a little crumbly in texture, but they wash onto the eyelids with ease, and they last all day long when applied to a good base or primer. I find the matte black works brilliantly as a black eyeliner. It would also make a really easy smokey eye. I have used the black mainly as an eyeliner and it works great just to make your lashes look thicker, but it would also blend easily for a more subtle look.
I can't wait to get some more Sleek palettes. I hope they still have the limited Bohemian palette so I get a chance to try that out too.
I am looking forward to the challenge of only using these products until they are finished, and then buying something new to replace them. I will obviously still continue to use my foundation, concealer, eyeliner etc. Seeing as they are not products included in this round.
Once I have completed this challenge, depending how it goes I am likely to do another. I will even push myself that bit harder next time to commit to trying to use up other products I have such as body cream and perfume etc.
So project 10 pan, here I come. I will keep you all updated on how it goes and how I find it being on makeup rations, lol.
I challenge all of you to have a rummage in your makeup bag/collection and pick 10 products that you will use up.
Good luck...
How long do these signs have to be present before they are diagnosed as depression?
With major or clinical depression, one of the key signs is either depressed mood or loss of interest. For a diagnosis of depression, these signs should be present most of the day either daily or nearly daily for at least two weeks. In addition, the depressive symptoms need to cause clinically significant distress or impairment. They cannot be due to the direct effects of a substance, for example, a drug or medication. Nor can they be the result of a medical condition such as hypothyroidism.
What are some common feelings associated with depression?
People with depressive illnesses do not all experience the same symptoms. How severe they are, how frequent, and how long they last will vary. It depends on the individual and their particular illness. Here are common symptoms people with depression experience:
While these are common symptoms of depression, they may also occur in patterns. For example, a person may experience depression with mania or hypomania, a condition sometimes called manic depression. Or the symptoms may be seasonal as in the case of seasonal affective disorder.
There are several types of manic depression. People with bipolar II disorder have at least one episode of major depression and at least one hypomanic (mild elation or high) episode. People with bipolar I disorder have a history of at least one manic (extreme elation or high) episode, with or without past major depressive episodes. A patient with unipolar depression has major depression only but does not have hypomania or mania.
How do I get help for depression?
Most people have felt sad or depressed at times. Feeling depressed can be a normal reaction to loss, life's struggles, or an injured self-esteem.
When feelings of intense sadness, including feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless, last for days to weeks and keep you from functioning normally, your depression may be something more than sadness. It may very well be clinical depression, a treatable medical condition.
What about depression in teenagers?
It is common for teenagers to occasionally feel unhappy. However, when the unhappiness lasts for more than two weeks and the teenager experiences other symptoms of depression, then they may be suffering from adolescent depression. Because as many as one in every 33 children and one in eight adolescents suffer with depression, talk to your doctor GP to find out if your teenager may be depressed. There is effective treatment available to help teenagers move beyond depression as they grow older.
Is depression difficult to diagnose?
It is estimated that, by the year 2020, major depression will be second only to ischaemic heart disease in terms of the leading causes of illness in the world. Patients with depression sometimes fail to realise (or accept) that there is a physical cause to their depressed moods. As a result, they may search endlessly for external causes.
In the UK, about 15% of people will suffer from at least one episode of major depression, according to the NHS. The suicide risk in people with this type of depression is the highest rate for any psychiatric state. Unfortunately, most people with clinical depression never seek treatment. Left undiagnosed and untreated, depression can worsen, lasting for years and causing untold suffering, and possibly suicide.
Are there different types of depression?
There are a number of different types of depression including:
Are there other types of depression?
Other types of depression that can occur include:
Can depression occur with other mental illnesses?
Depression commonly occurs with other illnesses such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, phobias and eating disorders. If you or a loved one has symptoms of depression and/or these other mental illnesses, talk to your GP. Treatment is available to lift the depression so you or a loved one can regain your meaningful life.
Can depression have physical symptoms?
Because certain brain chemicals or neurotransmitters, specifically serotonin and norepinephrine, influence both mood and pain, it's not uncommon for depressed individuals to have physical symptoms. These symptoms may include joint pain, back pain, gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, and appetite changes. The symptoms may also be accompanied by slowed speech and physical retardation. Many patients go from doctor to doctor seeking treatment for their physical symptoms when, in fact, they are clinically depressed.
