REVIEW - Sleek - I Divine Palette - Storm


Hullo Ladies, 

So as you may know I'm obsessed with Sleek and I thought I'd write up a review for the Storm Palette I bought a few weeks ago :-) 


Probably one of the most talked about Sleek palette's in the beauty community, Storm is a gorgeous Neutral eye shadow palette with quite a wide range of shadows. 

Included are 9 shimmer shades and 3 matte shades. 




From Left to Right - Sand Storm, Snow Storm, Calm Before The Storm, Thunder Storm, Perfect Storm, 

Firestorm, Dust Storm, Gathering Storm, Storm Cloud, Electric Storm, Eye Of The Storm and Blackout.




This stunning palette gives you the opportunity to create anything from light neutral everyday eye makeup to dark smokey night out makeup. 

I find the shadows in the Storm palette as pigmented, bendable and long lasting as all the other palette I've tried from them. In other words, Amazing!

I bought this palette from Amazon but you can also buy them from Boot's, Superdrug and the Sleek Makeup Website :-) 

No doubt I'll be buying more palettes soon, which ones are your favourite?

REVIEW - SLEEK - Oh So Special Palette + Eye Looks :-)


Hullo Ladies!

I recently become obsessed with Sleek products and after years of hearing so many wonderful things about the eye shadow palettes, reading about them in all your blog posts, I decided to try them out.

I recently bought a few that I had my eye on. 



The one I really wanted to get was this Oh So Special palette.

I loved the look of it online and after finding it on amazon for £5.75 I decided to go for it :-) 


This palette contains 12 shadows, 5 shimmers and 7 mattes. 





From left to right - Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate, Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up and Noir. 

All of the shadows are pigmented and smooth and although I had read about the bad fall out you can get with Sleek I haven't noticed any more than I'd get with other brands which is good :-) 

Here's a few looks I've created with this palette! 

I created this pink/purple look for a meal out with the family! 


What I did : 

1) I primed my eyes with my Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer

2) I placed the colour Gateau all over the lid. 

3) Then I used Wrapped Up as a transition colour through the crease. 

4) I blended the colour Celebrate into the outer 'V'.

5) Then I took Gift Basket and ran that on my lower lash line. 

6) I put the colour Bow onto my brow bone and in my inner corner. 

7) Finally I lined my eyes with Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Liner in Black Ink and applied some Eylure False Lashes. 



I created this look yesterday :-) I just felt like a smokey eye and after falling in love with the blue colour in this palette I decided on this look! 




1) I primed my eyes with my Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer.

2) I applied Glitz all over the lid, into the crease and on the lower lash line. 

3) I used Wrapped Up as a blending colour, taking it into the crease and above it. 

4) I then took Celebrate and put that into the crease. 

5) I then take a tiny amount of Noir and darken up the outer edge. 

6) I take some of my The Balm Mary Lou-Manzier and use it as brow and inner corner highlight.

7) Finally I line my eyes with some Bobbi Brown Gel Liner and swipe on some mascara. 

I would definitely suggest picking some of these palette up as they're super pretty, easy to work with and inexpensive!

I'm dying to get my hands on the Au Natural, I-Candy and the Garden Of Eden Palette. 

Do you love the Sleek Palettes?

Which one is your favourite?!
