I purchased this because the colours looked so vibrant but found some of the brighter colours to be chalky and have little colour pay-off even with a base. There were however a few colours that were really pigmented and like butter, they turned out exactly like in the pan so I imagine SOME of the palettes are probably lovely, I'd research reviews before purchasing again.

I have used several of these palette, they were my first palettes when I started doing makeup. They have an amazing range of colours and the packaging is totally gorgeous, not to mention the great sized mirror which makes them travel friendly. Quality wise, I think they are pretty good. The matte and shimmer shades are beautifully pigmented, not too chalky and blend nicely. Several of these palettes contain shades with ALOT of glitter in them, which makes for quite a bit of all out in some cases and not as much pigmentation as say the Matte or slight shimmer shades. My favourite palettes would have to be the Vintage romance and the ultra matte V2. Overall these are great little palettes at an affordable price
The Oh So Special sleek palette was the very first palette that I ever purchased. Since then Ive brought 4 more as I think they are great value for money. When I wasn't confident about applying eyeshadow I found that these were perfect to practice with. They aren't overly pigmented but the variety of colours in each palette is really good. I love that a lot of the palettes include a matte black as the brown pigments aren't very dark so it would be hard to achieve a smokey eye look without the black shadow. Personally, I don't think that the metallic shades are very good - they look more glittery than anything so you don't see much colour. These palettes are great for people who are just starting out with makeup or perhaps people who don't want to spend a lot of money on it but still want decent quality.
I have the Supreme palette. This palette used to be my go to palette. I was in love! The colours are stunning as are all the sleek idivine palettes. After receiving my first palette and swatching all the colours I decided that I needed the rest! BUT, this did not happen. I decided to (like with any makeup) use this one for awhile and see how I went. Everyday without a doubt; I would reach for this palette, and I knew I was absolutely sold. Until one day where I hit about midpan on one of the shadows...the pigmentation had just.....left me. I reached for another shadow a few weeks later and noticed the same thing. Although still managed to get pigment from building up and using ALOT more shadow. I tried the good old wet brush trick and this just destroyed the eyeshadow. (I used this trick quite regularly). I decided that although it was as it seemed, a match mad in heaven, I decided to leave it for abit. I will definitely revisit and purchase another incase I got a dud, but things like this always keep me cautious.
I have used 6 different Sleek palettes and they are only okay to me. The mattes are generally really chalky, but they do do some really nice shimmery shades.
Tips: You NEED to use an eyeshadow primer with these eyeshadows, if you don't the colours will barely show up and they will look extra chalky. With a primer, you can get an average - good coverage out of the shadows depending on the shade and formula.
I wanted to love this sleek palette (I have Oh so special) but I just found myself never really reaching for it.
There are some awesome colours like Noir (matte) Celebrate (shimmer) and gift basket (shimmer) but in general I found the colours just didn't really suit me, especially the quite pink toned ones. I am pale with blonde hair so that could have something to do with it. I also found some of the colours a bit chalky and the shimmers actually applied stronger if you used your finger instead of a brush.
In terms of the packaging it is pretty 'sleek' but is made of similar material to NARS products so it gets dirty pretty quick. Also the clasp to close the palette could be a bit tricky to open and close which I found really annoying. I wish this palette came with a brush instead of those horrible foam applicators.
Overall I think this is a good palette if you are looking for something more affordable with a range of colours, mattes and shimmers. But if you are pale it may pay to go with one of the other Sleek palettes with a more suitable colour range. I will be looking to try a different one sometime soon!
Tips: Use a primer to intensify the shadow colours and make them stay on longer.
I have four of these palettes - Bad Girl, Vintage Romance, Garden of Eden and Supreme - and overall they're ok. On one hand Vintage Romance is fantastic all round with the majority of shades being pigmented and blend-able, but then you have Supreme which is an all round fail with dry, chalky un-pigmented shades. The matte black palette builds are great for the price and I love the huge mirror that takes up the whole lid :) but the pans themselves were smaller than I thought at 21mm. Overall I would recommend googling reviews/swatches first before deciding which one to buy as there are some duds in the range.
I have only used this palette once and will most likely never use it again... The colour range of this palette is quite nice but something I have now realised is that Im more into my warmer toned eyeshadows and this palette seems to be more on the cool toned side. In this palette you get 4 shimmer shades and 8 matte shades, the mattes lack pigment except for the black shade and I find them very hard to build up on my eyelids and blend out however the shimmery shades are reasonably pigmented and the shades of them are gorgeous! I dont know if I just got a bad batch or what as it seems there are a lot of good reviews on these palettes?!
I have the Au Naturel palette and was so excited when i brought it, but i was left disappointed. All the colours look wearable and lovely but half of the matte colours barely show up whilst two of the glittery/metallic colours show up chunky with loads of fall out.
Tips: Defiantly need to use a primer to make these colours show up and last.
I got Sleeks au naturel palette off their website which made it a very affordable purchase especially because the postage is so cheap!
I found the dark chunkier colours harder to work with and I was disappointed with the black as it wasn't very pigmented and also difficult to work with. The lighter matte shades were great, especially the grey and light yellow which were perfect transition shades and the cream colour was amazing! One of the best cream eye shadows I've tried. Unfortunately I broke it and the palette became less appealing. Overall this is a great palette, very versatile and handy for travel and so affordable. Sleek products in general are definitely worth a try.
