A Generous Gift from Sleek Makeup!

So recently, the makeup gods blessed me with the opportunity to work with Sleek Makeup! The team at Sleek Makeup know how much I adore their products and decided to go out of their way to send me a total of five more for review! Is that not the sweetest thing? They sent me their Storm Eyeshadow Pallet, Blush compact in Suede, Gloss Me in the shade Maria Maria, a lipstick in Mulberry, and their Conceal and Correct trio. I was shocked to see that they had been so generous! I can tell you now that if I didn't love them before, I sure do now! I'll be reviewing them all below in a series of mini-reviews

The i-Divine Storm Pallet

First up, we have the Sleek i-Devine Storm Pallet. This pallet has nine shimmer/metallic shades and three matte shades that are not at all lacking in the pigment department. I have no doubt in my mind that these shadows are much better than those in the Oh-So-Special pallet - only because here, the matte shades actually show up without having to use half the pan.

(RP: $11.99)

The consistency is the same as the Oh-So-Special pallet. They are smooth and buttery. Very soft and so picking the shadows up isn't an issue. The packaging is the same as the other pallets in the i-Divine collection. Matte black with the brand name embossed in the front and the pallet name on the back. These pallets come with a long, double ended sponge tip applicator as well.

Swatches: Top row left to right, then bottom row from left to right. Stardust's Rating: 9.5

The Sleek Blush Compact in Suede

This is the Sleek compact Blush in the shade Suede. I have mixed feelings about this one. Suede is a lovely matte blush with some peachy hues towards it. I dislike shimmery blushes and so to see that Suede was not that, I was quite taken with it! I swatched this on my hand and I was a little underwhelmed. It's pretty sheer and not very pigmented. I used it on my face and trying to get noticeable colour out of it was a real struggle. This is a buildable blush but I prefer pigment before safety. Reading this, you might think that i don't like this blush, but here are my Pros when it comes to this. I think if you're learning how to apply blush, this is awesome because you have a low risk of suddenly over applying and theres a decent amount there to play with. The packing is also very sturdy so this blush is safe in clumsy hands! (RP: $6.99)

I like this blush. I think I'd like it better in more intense pinks that show up a little more. Still a great starting blush for a beginner! Stardust's Rating: 5

Sleek's Conceal and Correct Trio

I like this. This is one of the hits for me. I was sceptical due to the very creamy, slippery consistency but I really ended up enjoying this! I have used this to conceal and correct my blemishes, scars and discolouration before foundation and then used the first shade as a highlighter under the eyes and on the nose bridge. The concealer is the first shade in this trio and is the lightest of the creams. The corrector is the cream in the middle and at the end, we have a convenient setting powder that is matte! These are very pigmented and blends like a dream! I love these and they seem to stay creaseless for a long time before you even set them with powder. (RP: $11.99)

Sleek's True Colour Lipstick in Mulberry

This lipstick is awesome in pigmentation. It looked exactly the same on the lips as it does in the tube. Mulberry is a vampy, berry shade that I personally think would slay on chocolate ladies! This is a sheer application and feels super moisturising and nourishing for the lips! Unfortunately this lipsticks staying power is nowhere to be found. Because its so creamy, it slips off pretty quickly. The upside here is that it's easy to remove and it also doesn't stain the lips. Editing you application is also super easy! (RP: $7.49)

Would I buy this? Personally, I wouldn't because I'm lazy and like the long lasting matte look. This one makes the lips look super plush and makes them feel even better after wearing it. This lipstick falls under the category of "Meant To Look Pretty". The convenience isn't really there. With this one, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Sleek's Gloss Me in Mari Maria

I'll start by saying that I really am not a fan of gloss. My hair gets in it, I constantly have to reapply and I'm generally just a hot mess when a lipgloss enters my life. I guess it would take a special gloss to change my stubborn ways. Sleek's Gloss Me (RP: $7.49) is a thick and pigmented consistency. It's like a liquid lipstick but stickier. Its really easy to work with and because of the intense hot pink pigment, I don't need to layer it on. So in the end, a little goes and long way!

It's pretty weightless and feels hydrating on the lips. I can't see that being a deal breaker for anyone. I've found myself reaching for this more than ever. It's easy to sheer down so it looks almost like a tinted balm. Your lips would look plush and full. I like it a lot more than I thought I initially would! Stardust's Rating: 8.5
