Super Sleek!

Hello!

A while back I read online via blogs and Youtube gurus about the Sleek pallets exclusively available in the UK, of course upon hearing about such exclusivity naturally I wanted and had to have one.

So on a recent trip up to Belfast I made it my business to locate a Superdrug and pick up a pallet.

Which after many minutes rushing around Belfast city centre in the lashing rain with the family in tow I found a Superdrug and much to my delight they had loads of my much desired pallets.

I picked up the Sleek Storm pallet to try out and decided if I liked it I would pick up more on my next.visit.

To begin with the packaging is lovely. It is very professional, smart and sleek as the name suggests.

When opened it contains a large mirror and twelve shadows which when swatched with a finger tip are highly pigmented.

This was a day or two prior to my 20th birthday party which I had my make up done in MAC for as part of my lovely boyfriends present.

To my despair on the day my makeup ran quite bad around my eyes as unfortunatly the MUA got some of the duo lash glue in my eyes by accident and my sensitive eyes never quite recovered.

None of my MAC eyeshadows would cover the areas of skin that had gotten wet from my teary eyes however the Sleek pallet stepped in and saved the day.

The shadows covered all the affected areas of skin and stayed put fabulously. I bowed down to the sleek pallet from then on!

My only issue with the pallet is the texture of the shadows, they are super soft which is brilliant for blending but not so good for keeping them in the pallet.. (yes black eyeshadow I am looking at you..) that has caused me a few stresses.

The shadows being so soft and crumbly I find a bit messy and upon opening the pallet it has crumbled out onto the carpet in my room marking the carpet.

This has caused me to not reach for the pallet as much purely for that reason. I wouldnt recommend this pallet as one to carry around for fear of it destroying a bag or anything fabric as upon taking the pictures for this blogpost it has once again destroyed the carpet. :(

But as a product to use purely at home (over the sink perhaps :/ I would highly recommend.

It wasnt too expensive around €8-12 I think it cost me, I will try to confirm the price.

Unfortunatly I do not intend purchasing anymore of Sleeks pallets for my kit as I would be too afraid to take this with me to someones home or studio for fear of it staining something belong to them which is a shame as I do enjoy using the shadows  :(
