Mini Review: Sleek Sparkle Palette

This is Mistletoe on its own. You can see the glitter (or lack thereof) is unevenly distributed despite blending. I think that as a palette - minus the glitter - it's quite nice in terms of colour and of course pigmentation like all Sleek shadows. However, if I'm rating this as a glitter palette like it intends to be - it's a 2/10.

It doesn't bother me (so much) that the glitter falls off straight away - it's more that some remains when applied and it ends up looking unintentional. Like you've accidentally picked up a little bit of glitter on a brush and used the brush to blend your edges and now you can't get the glitter off without starting your makeup from scratch!

If anyone has any tips on how to make this work, please share!

Sleek Sparkle Palette Swatches

Who else picked up the Sparkle palette today? I didn't cheat (technically) on P5P - John bought this for me! It's really pretty and I'll be wearing it tomorrow to see how well the sparkles last!



First impressions - I really, really love Twinkle. Swatched, Illusion and Festive look more or less identical. Perhaps it's my light. Gold Ribbon and Tinsel look quite out of place despite Noir being the only matte shade. Overall it's a lovely palette and for the price, another great addition to my collection! I'm happy to own it.





L-R:
Cranberry, Dream Maker, Galactic, Twinkle, Star Light, Noir
Illusion, Festive, Mistletoe, Glitz & Glamour, Gold Ribbon, Tinsel

What do you think? Will you be picking this up? I also had John buy one to give away! Isn't he lovely?

Update: Applied, there's next to no glitter. Most, if not all of it falls off when you blend it out. There is a pretty iridescence to the shadows though.
