So Sleek!

So happy Sleek's website opened their online sales to the US.
Last year I ordered 3 palettes - 1 from a crappy 3rd party website and 2 from an awesome eBay seller.
Unfortunately my favorite eBay seller has limited and older palettes verses what is being sold in stores now.

I pretty much go between my Sleek and my Urban Decay Naked palette.

I use the Storm palette the most but have been dipping into the Chaos palette as well.
Such gorgeous, highly pigmented and let's not forget the variety of colors you get.

I decided to browse Sleek's website to check out their new products.
Ended up purchasing 4 new palettes.
The prices ranged from $10-$10.50 each with an additional shipping to California at $10.
Some may argue it's pricey but for the quality and 12 pigmented shadows, I'd say it's not too shabby.

My package arrived in a black box.
I wanted to see how secure their packing was so I lightly shook the box side to side.
No movement. Which is a good sign.
It means their securely tucked in the box.

I opened the box and found hot pink tissue paper.
Pop of color!



Inside was two more boxes.
Each box held two Sleek palettes in one.


Bubble wrapping in the center so the boxes have a mini buffer.


Pretty satisfied with how they packaged and shipped the potential fragile eye shadows.

And now the fun bits!


Left to right:
Au Naturel - Me, Myself, and Eye - Bad Girl - Oh So Special



The Au Naturel Nude collection caught my eye first.
It's a collection of neutral, matte, creamy and one dark shimmery shades
I pretty much am a sucker for neutral eye shadows.
Definitely see myself using this often if not daily.






This palette launched with another called Good Girl.
However I wasn't fond of the explosion of pinks in Good Girl so I stuck to the blues, greens and grey.
I find this palette easily described as powerful.
A great set to create smokey eyes or a nice bold liner.






Sleeks collaboration with PPQ Clothing.
The most colorful one out of this order which are all a refreshingly punch of fun shades.
Again a mixture of matte and shimmery formulas.






Is definitely special!
A dainty set that has wearable pinks, peachy peach, warm browns and creams for highlighting.
A very girly palette with delicate shades.




Happy my order arrived safety without breaking.
Definitely give Sleek palettes and their online store a 5 out 5 star. 
Do you have any Sleek palettes and if so which one is your favorite?
