Review: Sleek Original eyeshadow Palette + OOTD


Hi all,
Thank you for all the lovely comments for my previous post, you're all too kind! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics!

Here's my review on Sleek's Original i-divine palette 594:
Comes in 12 colours, mirror and applicator.
Price- £6.49
What it is: mineral based eyeshadow, they are all velvety and highly pigmented colours (only the black colour is matte).

I adore 8, it's such a pretty pink, but I'm still working on how to wear it without looking like i'm 10 years old. They are all such lovely colours! I like them all!
NO FLASH AND BAD SKIN
PACKAGING; front
I am new to Sleek products, I was recommended to try their products by friends because apparently the quality is great and the prices are really reasonable- I couldn't have agreed more!

Summary:
(+) Great value, less that £7 for 12 colours that are all usable and pretty, which i'm really impressed about.
(+) Great quality, lasts quite long for me when I use a primer (I have oily lids)
(+)The colours are very pigmented, it's fine for daytime but i usually wear no more than 2 colours, the  more dramatic colours are great for evening. 
(+) colours are easy to use and blend, most of all you can wear them on their own (great for lazy people like me!)
(-) boring black packaging which is the same as all my other palettes, it gets confusing which palette i pick up.

Overall, I'm going to buy more! I heard the Storm palette is pretty popular too, so i'll be checking that out!

Here, I'm sporting the two browns, if you refer back to the palette above it's numbers 10 and 11. I know you can't really see the colours when my eyes are open, only a little that is peeking through, but it's because I don't like wearing too much make-up during the day. I know, that's why I'm rubbish at eye tutorials, ah wells! 

Outfit of the day:
Top: Primark
Belt: Uniqlo
Chino trousers: H&M
Shoes: Debenhams

Have any of you tried Sleek products? Let me know what you think about the brand! I will be reviewing Sleek blushers soon, so stay tuned.

I hope everyone is well, I've been keeping up to date with Japan's news and I can't help but tear up everytime I read a news article about Japan. It is so shocking and tragic, the devastation is immense.  Fortunately all my friends that live in Japan are fine but they are all so shaken by the disasters. Lets all keep praying for Japan, and most of all help in any way we can i.e. by donating any spare change or more.

Take care my loves! xX
