I've kept my eye on the blogosphere, and the Sleek iDivine Palettes looked stunning. I knew I wanted several, 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.
Storm looked like it would be a favorite of mine!
These have been compared to MAC colors, as far as being heavily pigmented, easy to apply, and colors-to-live for. What I love about this palette is that it has beautifully deep shades of greens, grays, and amethyst or plum as well as some shades that can be used to highlight.
Today I used a sort of apricot for the highlight, then a lighter deep green for the outer corners, a deeper green for the lower lash line, and the deep amethyst for the top line.
My take
I rate this a 5 out of 5. The colors are amazing. I know I will enjoy using it, either alone or in combination with other Sleek colors or other brands.
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?
