Sleek iDivine Eyeshadow Palette

I've seen so many good reviews about the Sleek palettes, but I just couldn't see what was so great about them once I purchased my own. I chose the Oh So Special palette and found the matte shadows were quite powdery and all of them had poor pigmentation. Tried with and without an eyelid primer and made no difference. Such a shame since I love the shade range!

Drawn to these by the inexpensive price tag, and the rave reviews - I grabbed a few of these palettes to try out. The palettes I have are Vintage Romance, Arabian Nights and Ultra Mates V2. (I also had Garden of Eden but gave that away).

I have very mixed feelings about these palettes. As with most palettes, some shades are amazing, whereas some... aren't. In my opinion, the best palette (with the best colour payoff and pigmentation), is the Arabian Nights palette. Filled with beautiful jewel colours, this is super pigmented and fairly easy to blend out.

The other palettes I have by Sleek vary - some shades are amazing whereas some shades aren't that great at all.

In all honesty, I wouldn't purchase any more eyeshadow palettes by Sleek (although their contouring and highlighting kit is amazing). I think for the price they are definitely worth getting, but I have been spoiled by higher end, better performing shadows and so expect everything to perform like those.

If you're looking for inexpensive, yet (mostly) good quality shadows then these are worth getting to try out.

Hate it! I find these to be very chalky, NOT pigmented and cheaply made eye shadows. I had such high hopes as it seems like everyone loves Sleek products but I just do not.

I do not like the formula - it does not feel luxurious and applies poorly. In fairness the eye shadow palettes are very affordable so they are worth purchasing to see if you are a fan or not. The only colour I found very pigmented was the black shade I think it is called Noir. This shade is very VERY black and has amazing staying power.

I also hate the casing as it is matte black and looks super dirty as you can see your finger prints all over it.

Prior to purchasing the iDivine Palette range I had only used Urban Decay and Mac eye shadows so my review may come across a little harsh as the quality is nothing like these. I never ever reach for my Sleek Palettes.

I honestly didn't get the hype over these palettes. I purchased Au Naturel and Oh SO Special and I really didn't think they were that fantastic, the pigmentation was lacking for me and the shimmery shades were hard. I love Sleek's other products but these just didn't do it for me, I never reached for them and they've sat unused for a long time. I would rather recommend Coastal Scents Hot Pots.
