Sleek Eyeshadow Palette Review

Good morning beauties!
Today, I am so (so, so, so, so) excited to present you a little haul featuring the Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow palettes. You know, the ones that are constantly being talked/raved about? Yeah, those. I decided enough was enough, and so I whipped out my credit card and did some online shopping with the delightful Luxola.com, which (if you read my blog regularly) you all know is an online beauty site/store I simply adore. It has amazing, insanely fast shipping (free on orders over $40), constantly holds incredible sales and discounts and carries a ton of exciting products and cosmetics brands.
But back to the topic of Sleek palettes.
I went ahead and picked up three, as I have read so many reviews I felt compelled to buy at least 3 palettes. My gut instincts told me I'd grow to regret not buying enough of the sleek palettes, and even at 3, I am already feeling a slight twinge of regret for not buying all of the available palettes offered on the site at a shocking 40% (cyber monday, duh!). But alas, I am still so excited to share with you my thoughts and opinions on the ahhhmazing eyeshadow palettes- so let's dive into it!

Now if you're a fan of Sleek and are familiar with the design, you'll have realised that the front of the packaging of the palette has been slightly altered. Previously, the word 'sleek' was larger and placed diagonally across the front. As you can see, the newer version/packaging has the word 'sleek' embossed in the centre, which is just something I thought I'd point out to you in case you haven't noticed.

i-Divine Ultra Matts V2 #731

i-Divine Ultra Matts V2 #731

First up- a palette loaded with gorgeous purely matte eyeshadows of varying vibrance and boldness, all of which offer medium to full coverage. Pigmentation varies between the shadows, but not drastically, making this palette great for the price you are paying. It has some very snazzy and bold colours, and it also has a handful of neutrals and fall-autumn-y shades that are simply stunning.

I personally love all the shades in this palette, which is a rare occurrence. The green/teal/turquoise shades are surprisingly wearable- you can work it any way you like; for subtlety, opt for a sheer application, for dramatic, build up on the colours and apply with a heavier hand.

I am in absolute awe when it comes to the first shadow (turquoise). It is called 'Orbit', and is so incredibly pretty. The cream shades are extra creamy and blends like a dream. The medium brown shadow somewhat vaguely resembles MAC's brown shadows (MAC combo of Soba + Sable). It also makes for a fabulous eyebrow colour if you have dark brown to brown hair (it looks perfect on asians who have bleached or dyed-brown-or-orange hair). 

All in all, a perfect palette for those who want to experiment with a few new shades without being too far fetched and overly ambitious with the dramatic eye look. 

... and here are the swatches.

i-Divine Storm #578

This palette is, again, incredibly wearable. I feel it is the Sleek equivalent of the Urban Decay Naked palette (the original); it has some blues, coppers, cool and warm tones, a matte sable-brown and a matte black. Pretty, sultry and gorgeous. Again, incredibly value for your money- you can do countless eye looks with just this one single palette- whether you're going for a smokey or just barely a wash of colour,  the Storm palette has you covered from A-Z.

The colour of the shadows look more true in this photo- gorgeous, isn't it?

... and here are the swatches. 

i-Divine Vintage Romance #141

Last but certainly not least, we have the vintage romance palette- a stunning selection of purples, violets, blues, plums, and lighter warm tone golds. All of the shadows in this palette are metallic, and a couple that I have tried look absolutely stunning applied wet. 

I was told purple shades on the eye compliment asian skin tones (fair-light-medium skin tones) very well, and decided to take the plunge. And yes, I am very much in love with the shadows in this palette. I managed to create countless different looks with this palette- all of which are suitable for a wide range of social settings; work, day, night, events...

... and here are the swatches. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! It has been a awful long while since I last posted a beauty related post, and for that I sincerely apologise to my loyal readers. I am looking to post consistently and regularly in the upcoming weeks as I am about to enter my summer holidays (queue enthusiastic hoorays).

So don't fret and definitely stay tuned.
