Sleek MakeUP Eye & Cheek Palette Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Multi-functional palette contains four eyeshadows and two blushers from our bestselling i-Divine and Blush range. Eye & Cheek Palette provides all of your colour essentials in one convenient compact.

These velvety smooth eyeshadows and blushers are highly pigmented and long-lasting, making blending and defining simple.

Each palette contains complementary neutral and bold shades suited to all skin tones.

Packaged in a handy travel sized compact, with magnetic snap-shut mechanism and also includes a large mirror and two essential brushes for effortless application.

Dancing Til Dusk includes velvety browns and shimmering fawns from our Au Naturel i-Divine palette. With radiant Blush shades Mirrored Pink, an iridescent soft pink and Sahara, a matte, dark coral, for a sophisticated finish.

How to: Eyeshadow: Use the mini eyeshadow applicator to sweep the lighter shades all over the eye lid. Blend well, as this acts as a base for deeper shades. Then apply the medium or dark shades across the crease to define eyes

Blush: Using the mini blusher brush included, sweep onto the apples of the cheeks

Comes in 2 variants- Dancing Till Dusk and See You At Midnight

MRP: $14.99

Dancing Till Dusk is the one I am reviewing today. It is more on the warm side while See You At Midnight is more on the cooler side.

Dancing Till Dusk has the blushes Mirrored Pink and Sahara and the eyeshadows from the Au Naturel Palette.

See You at Midnight combines deep blue and pearlescent purple eyeshadows from our Vintage Romance i-Divine Palette. Along with Blush in Pomegranate, a golden berry hue and Antique,a shimmery dusky rose, for a captivating look.

It comes in a small rectangular black packaging and has a mirror and a small double sided applicator and a small brush.

Shades:

Eyeshadows:

Satin finish champagne shade (Beautiful!)

Matte taupe (For the crease)

Matte beige n*de (Almost skin color, perfect for blending and brow bone)

Medium brown with gold shimmer

Blushes:

Mirrored Pink – A soft, romantic satin finish bright pink. Very bridal for fair skin tones.

Sahara: Matte peachy coral. Super pretty on warm skin tones <3

I would recommend See You At Midnight for darker/deeper skin tones coz the shades would show up on them well and Dancing Till Dusk for both but especially for warm skin tones. I am glad I got the Dancing Till Dusk coz I am totally a warm person and love neutrals/warms in eye shadows and peachy, natural blushes. Also, warm shades look beautiful on our Indian skin tones.

Its a perfect daytime palette with a brown, taupe, champagne, a shade for blending and a nice peach blush. Mirrored Pink looks a little bright though but looks nice when blended if you want to turn a day time look to a night time look. Its travel friendly and carry one and you are sorted kind of a palette. Highly recommended!

Blend darker shades Valley of Diamonds or 1001 Nights along the eye socket to contour and add definition to your eyes.

Top Row:

Scheherazade’s Tale: Satin finish rosy bronze. Almost cream like finish.

Gold Souk: Metallic yellow gold with glittery finish. You need to pat and layer it like you do with pigments.

Aladdin’s Lamp: Pigmented frost finish deep bronze brown.

Sultan’s Garden: Soft smokey green with green and gold shimmer

Hocus Pocus: Metallic jewel medium-green. Super smooth and pigmented.

Simbad’s Seas: Bold rich deep bluish purple. Super duper pigmented. Reminds me of L’Oreal Paris Infallible Mono in All Night Blue

Black Magic: Satin finish navy blue. Slightly dry.

Stallion: Matte dark burgundy

Sleek MakeUP Bare Skin Foundation Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: This unique super-light foundation gives skin a barely-there no makeup feel, whilst delivering a beautifully even and natural flawless finish. .

Provides light to medium, buildable coverage
Conceals blemishes and imperfections
Innovative formula evens out skin tone
Advanced moisturising properties help to keep skin nourished
Light base feels weightless, allowing skin to breathe
Instantly enhances and illuminates skin

MRP: $13.49 for 30ml

Directions: Blend smoothly and evenly with your fingertips or a foundation brush, working outwards from the centre of your face.

Ingredients: Paraffin oil, Isooctyl palmitate, Isododecane, Beeswax, Sorbitan sesquioleate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium stearate, Dimethicone, Sodium chloride, Iron OxidesCI77491,77492,77499, Phenoxyethanol, Methylistohiazolinone

Shades Available: 12

I have the shades Barley and Praline.

It comes in a glass square bottle packaging with a black cap and a black pump dispensor. Since it is glass, not very travel friendly and slightly heavy too.

I like the fact that it comes in 12 shades and cater to every skin tone possible from lightest to darkest. Its thick and creamy unlike your runny liquid foundation.

It gives medium coverage, even though buildable, wont give that complete flawless coverage hiding your marks/scars. Its good for everyday use, like a tinted moisturiser. And gives that dewy, glowing finish. It stays for 3-4 hours and then starts getting shiny on the T-zone since its quite rich. Oily/combination skin needs powder touch up after 3-4 hours.

Barley is  light for me and Praline is dark, so I mix the both and get the perfect shade.I think Bamboo or Creme Caramel would suit my NC37 skin tone well.

Here it is on me. I have mixed both the shades here.

I would recommend this for people with dry skin looking for a dewy finish foundation and those who do not need much coverage.

Rating: 3.5/5

Another Limited Edition i-Divine Palette from Sleek MakeUP. This time its all about bright shades, for this is inspired by Brazil’s Rio Carnival!

It has the same standard Sleek MakeUP i-Divine palettes packaging and comes with a mirror and a two-sided sponge applicator.

Though I am not a fan of brights, this palette has some beautiful warms and n*des too!

The matte shades in Sleek MakeUP i-Divines were always a little powdery. But all the shades in this palette including the mattes are super bright, smooth and pigmented!

I could’nt believe the pigmentation these had. All the swatches are just one swipe.

Top Row:

Tropics: Matte bright coral orange

Night Fever: Matte bright reddish pink

Ipanema: Satin Plum with gold shimmer

Caipirinha: Metallic lime green

Urca: Beautiful satin finish muted light gold. My favorite <3

Leblon: Deep Matte Jet Black. Most pigmented black in a palette!

Copacabana: Satin finish beige n*de with gold shimmer

Sao Conrado: Matte carrot pink

Bossa Nova: Beautiful satin finish bluish purple. Another favorite <3

Leme: Gorgeous satin deep blue. Perfect for blue smokey eyes.

Overall, I would say, this is by far the most pigmented Sleek MakeUP i-Divine palette. If you are into brights, grab it right now before the stocks get over since its a limited edition. And even if you are not into brights like me, 5-6 shades are such that are super versatile, pigmented, warm, wearable and match up/blend with everything.

You can buy it online HERE.

This one is a must have! And also watch out for another Sleek MakeUP Palette review coming up, which I have huge expectations from!

Sleek MakeUP Del Mar Volume-I i-Divine Palette Review, Swatches

So after the amazing Sleek MakeUP CC cream, time to review the latest Limited Edition palette added to the i-Divine Range- Del Mar Volume-I

What the Company claims: Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.

Get your summer off to a scorching start with our limited edition* Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine palette. Each shade is inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza’s chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.

  • This brilliant eyeshadow palette of vibrant colours suits all skin tones and complements the bright pastel trend prominent this Spring/Summer 2014
  • The exclusive packaging captures the essence of the warm sun and mellow Balearic beats floating into the breeze

MRP: $11.99

How to: Get creative and blend contrasting colours together or mix shimmers with matte shades. Each i-Divine includes a classic matte dark colour, great to perfect that classic smoky effect.

Shades:

1st row:

  • Lounge Lovers– Satin finish n*de gold
  • Poolside– Matte Sea Blue
  • Sunset Strip– Matte wearable warm orange
  • Ambience– Satin finish purple
  • Chilled out blue– Matte white
  • Marlin– Matte Teal Green

2nd row:

  • Opening Party– Satin finish bluish purple
  • On the Rocks– Satin finish coral
  • Talamanca– Matte n*de brown (for blending and transitioning colors)
  • Feel Euphoric– Satin finish peachy pink
  • Baleric Beat– Matte Lime Green
  • Paradise– Matte Lilac

There are more matte shades in this palette..and though they look bright in the pan, they are quite wearable and easy to carry shades. Also, not all mattes are chalky and some are very decently pigmented, but some have to be packed on quiet a few times for the desired intensity.

Its a nice blend of colors, and perfect pool party/beach holiday palette. And appropriate for the Summer launch too. I do like peaches and corals and they look pretty good when combined with the right colors. I would not say this palette is a must have, but if you love summery bright colors, then it can be a good addition to your stash !

Shades: Fair, Light, Medium, Dark

Ok, so as most of you know, we already have the CC Creams now after the BB creams..and the rest till Z will follow soon 😀

Coming to this Sleek MakeUP CC cream, it comes in this white and black cap packaging and has a small nozzle dispensor which just dispenses just the required perfect amount..no wastage here!

The shade Light is like my second skin! It suits me so perfectly, or its the CC cream’s color adaptive technology that makes me feel so. But I don’t feel there is anything on apart my skin, it blends and feels so seamless.

At the same time, its a little rich and hydrating..it plumps up my skin. And gives that soft, dewy, hydrated, glossy skin. I have combination skin, but I love base products that give me dewy skin. I am not a matte skin lover..I like it dewy and natural. So, for me, this formula works perfect. For oily skin, you will definitely need to powder up with this and touch up later.

It stays on me for a good whole day when I am out..has stayed 6-7 hours easily. And does not transfer much, a little on tissue, when there is too much humidity. You know I live in Mumbai and we all sweat like pigs once out of the house !

And as far as the coverage goes, its amazing..medium buildable coverage..and I need only a pea sized amount ! Its my go to everyday !

Here is an FOTD with only this CC cream and some kohl and lip balm.

Pros:

1. Amazing coverage.

2. Skin is moisturized and hydrated, you do not even need a separate moisturiser.

3. Gives a dewy, plumped up, healthy looking skin.

4. Stays for 6-7 hours.

5. Does not transfer much.

6. SPF29 UVA+UVB

7. Good for daily use..feels light like second skin.

8. Shades adapt to skin tone and look completely natural.

9. Travel friendly packaging with a perfect small nozzle which prevents wastage.

10. Also has Vitamin C which helps protect skin against skin damage.

Cons:

1. Availability is an issue.

I don’t think I can think of any other cons..I am so in love with it, right from the first use. Its my current staple. I hit ‘tube-end’ on my favorite L’Oreal Paris BB Cream and was planning to repurchase when this arrived ! And I sooo love this..in my Holy Grail now. Though there are only 4 shades, the Color Adaptive technology helps it match your skin tone. I highly recommend this ! Though oily skin and people who love matte skin, do need to powder. For normal to dry skin, this is a must have.

Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Garden of Eden Palette Review, Swatches
 
I had mentioned about the Sleek MakeUP’s new Garden of Eden launch HERE.
 
I finally received this palette and the blushes..after a long wait ! And sadly, I also had to pay customs on it :/ 🙁 But anyways, coming back to the palette.
 
 
It comes in the normal Sleek MakeUP palette black packaging..and also with the regular mirror and a two sided sponge applicator..
 
RRP £7.99
 
The cover also had instructions behind on how to use the shades, this time.
 
 
Sleek MakeUP says: Enhance what Mother Nature gave you with the striking, beautiful colours of Sleek MakeUP’s new Garden of Edeni-Divine Palette. 
 
 
An earthy, nature inspired palette that echoes the hues of a stunning tropical jungle with dusky purples, earthy browns and organic greens.
 
Garden of Eden i-Divine delivers the iconic 12high pigmented eye shadows associated with Sleek MakeUP once again, with shades such as Paradise On Earth, Eve’s Kiss and Gates Of Eden. Each fresh, vibrant shade stays true from day to night and blends together beautifully to create any look you desire from soft and subtle, to dazzling and dramatic,suited to all skin tones. This is a beautiful palette made up of an array of earthy, nature inspired hues that echo a stunning tropical jungle with dusky purples, earthy browns and organic greens.
 
The swatches are all one swipe.
 
 
 

Shades are :

Gates of Eden : Warm Coppery orange gold
Eve’s Kiss : Metallic lilac pink
Paradise on Earth : Warm taupe purple
Python : Again a deeper taupe brown
Forbidden : Matte grey with gold shimmer..but dry in texture..not that pigmented.
Flora : Matte brick reddish brown..again a little dry
 
 
 
Entwined : Matte Medium taupe brown with gold shimmer..little dry and chalky
Adam’s Apple : Matte light apple green
Fig : Light metallic green gold
Evergreen : Metallic mid green
Fauna : Metallic forest green
Tree of Life : Matte forest green

 
It has the perfect mix of neutrals and greens..and taupe lovers like me would love the taupes it offers..I am not a fan of green shadows as such..but sometimes the deeper forest green ones like Tree of Life make for a super sexy green smokey eye !
 
Pigmentation wise, as usual the metallic ones were amazingly pigmented..but the matte ones were drier and needed layering..With a primer, these stay for 8-9 hours.
 
Overall, I would say if you love greens and taupes, then this palette is specially made for you 😀 But its a good mix of neutrals and brights. Recommended.
 
It launched on 15th Jan..and is available on sleekmakeup.com and Superdrug stores..

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..

Sunset is satin finish burgundy
Me, Myself & Eye is a frost finish white..works great as a highlighter

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 🙂
