Very pigmented..and stays well..longer with a primer..does not crease for a good 6-7 hours even without a primer.
I loved the names in this palette..all related to Vintage Romance and different cities like Pretty in Paris, Romance in Rome, etc
Comes in the standard Sleek MakeUP black packaging with a mirror and dual sided sponge applicator..
Only one matte shade in the palette..and that is a little drier and less pigmented..rest are decently pigmented especially the 2nd row..

When I first saw the names of the shadows, I was kinda surprised..what they have done is..they took one shade from each of their 12 permanent i- Divine palettes..and named them after the palette..
So we have Storm, Paraguaya, Oh So Special, Bad Girl, etc..
Its a standard Sleek MakeUP Palette black packaging..with 12 shadows of 1.1g each and a mirror and a double sided sponge applicator..
Shadows are a mix of matte and satin finish..matte ones being not as pigmented as the satin ones..but the shades sure are amazing..stay on well..and blend smoothly too..
Paraguaya is a matte nude peach..hardly visible..good for blending Sunset is satin finish burgundy Me, Myself & Eye is a frost finish white..works great as a highlighter Bad Girl is satin finish olive green..love this shade.. Noir is satiny bluish grey Ultramattes V2 is a matte deep black.
Oh So Special is a matte grey..not too pigmented Bohemian is a matte coral..makes a good blush Storm is a matte navy blue Sparkle is frost pink..again a highlighter Au Natural is a matte deep plum with silver shimmer..its Festive from Sparkle 2 Palette Graphite is satin finish light milky brown
Overall quite a nice mix of colors..and mix of matte and satin shades..good highlighters and a pretty dark matte black..matte blending shades..and a nice olive green, grey, burgundy, plum and brown..shades which are quite wearable..
Personally for me..I love wearing plums, browns, greys and burgundy, olive greens for weddings, etc..plus a matte black and two highlighters just completes the palette..I am loving every new palette of Sleek MakeUP..but there are a few which are quite suited for our warm skin tones..and quite wearable..this is one of those..I am loving it as much as my Sparkle 2 and Oh So Special 🙂
Sleek MakeUP is out with their new Spring 2013 collection called Aqua Collection..it consists of LE i-Divine called Lagoon, a blush in Mirrored Pink and a nail set in Deep Waves..you would see a lot of aqua blues and greens in this collection.
It is priced slightly higher at £7.99
It comes in the usual black case packaging with a mirror and 2 sided sponge applicator…the shadows are well pigmented, blend smoothly and stay on for 6-7 hours with a primer…the matte shades are a little drier and shimmery ones have some fall out though.
Sleek MakeUP i- Divine Lagoon boasts of 12 shades that pop on all skin tones..9 shimmer and 3 matte shadows..
Sassea is an aqua blue shade with gold shimmer Deep Water is a matte grape purple Reflection is a pale shimmery lilac Emerald is a light emerald green Oyster is an off white pearl..makes a good highlight Black Pearl is deep rich black with some shimmer…gorgeous pigmentation..the best in the palette.
Pink Jewel is a rose pink with gold shimmer..very pretty shade Sand Dollar is a warm yellow gold Underworld is again an aqua blue with gold shimmer..but more bluer than Sassea Sea Shell is a light copper bronze..a good neutral Night Sky is a matte dirty purple..not that pigmented. Ariel is a matte coral red..can double up as a pretty blush
Some of the shades are pretty pigmented while some are ok..matte shades are a little drier and less pigmented in comparision to the shimmery ones…overall a good mix of shades..
My favorites are Reflection, Oyster, Black Pearl, Pink Jewel and Sea Shell..yes I love my pinks and neutrals 😀
