Review Sleek iDivine Palette — Sunset

I've hankered after the Sleek iDivine Palettes, ever since I found them being talked about by various bloggers. I kept trying to find a way to purchase them, because they looked terrific, and I knew I wanted several of the color sets, if I could get my hands on them, but they are available in the UK. I waited a long time to find a place to buy them, then for them to arrive. I wished I had known to look for them on my last trip to London.

There is a wide variety of palettes available, which sell out fast when they first arrive in the stores. Some are matte; some have some matte colors as well as shimmery; some are shimmery. I don't think that any are glittery.

Sunset looked interesting to me, with possibly too many browns and russets. But if you are looking for these colors, then this palette is wonderful!

The Sleek palettes have been compared to MAC colors, as far as being heavily pigmented, easy to apply, and colors-to-live for.

So far, I have only used the bright teal as a dry liner, and it is gorgeous! Perhaps tomorrow I will try some of the other shades, even if I only used them to contour or highlight.

Edited to add: you can see other photos here.

My take
I am cautiously looking forward to these colors. They would be beautiful on deeper skin tones or blue or green eyes. I'm sure they are heavily pigmented and easy to apply.

Size
I couldn't tell from the pictures online if this was a decent size or more like a credit card size, which some brands carry. I asked before I purchased.

It is not credit card sized (small) but a very nice size -- approximately 3 inches X 5.5 inches, with a high quality mirror that is the same size. Each color is good-sized -- 3/4 inch in diameter. It is convenient to carry on a trip or to stash with your stash.

Packaging
Even the exterior is pretty with the case being matte black and the words shiny and artistically placed. Very rich in feel and in looks.

I would have liked Lauren Luke's palettes to be closer in size to this. The Sleek is more convenient. But Lauren's includes other products, such as liner, primer, blush and lippies.

Value
The value of these sets is also extremely good -- they run about 4.50 pounds, sometimes less. I have newly found them on amazon.co.uk but I don't know if the various stores in Amazon will ship outside the country.

Have you tried these palettes? Do you have a favorite? What do you think?
Have you worn the Sunset palette?
