I adore the boxes that this collection has come in, they're beautiful! The palette is the usual black and I believe it's going to be £7.99. I do quite like the black cases. They're, well, "sleek".

Lagoon has a rather nice mix of colours. They're all fresh and springy. I think all the palettes now have the flat finish, which is a bit of a shame I think! The pattern was unique to Sleek! In this palette there are 9 shimmers and 3 mattes. The shimmers, as usual, were better performers than the mattes. I find Sleek's mattes to be a bit hit and miss for me. The blacks tend to be awesome some some other shades can apply a little patchy.



Black Pearl is easily the best performing shade in the palette! It's rich, has a slight shimmer and applies so easily! I really liked all the blue and green shades, but I think Reflection was my favourite. It's a slightly silvery lilac and looks amazing as a lid shade with one of the deeper greens blended into the crease. Pink Jewel is also pretty gorgeous, a pink with a golden shimmer. It pairs rather nicely with the blush from the collection! The shade that gave me the most issues was Night Sky, a deep matte purple. It applied very sheerly and went rather patchy as I tried to build up the intensity.
As with all my Sleek palettes, I got good wear out of these shades. There's enough of a range of colours in here to complete several looks. Oyster is a rather shimmery pearl but applied and blended carefully, it can make a really good brow highlight. I applied these over primer when I wore them and got a good 8-10 hours out of them. I did find Underworld to stain very slightly when no primer was used though.

There are determinately some gorgeous shades! I love the look of Deep Water and Seashell.
ReplyDeleteI always liked the 'waffle' pattern of Sleek shadows too!
I miss the waffle as well! I think the texture changed slightly since they took it off.
DeleteSuch pretty colours, although I don't think I'd get much use out of Night Sky, Ariel, Reflection and Pink Jewel! x
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm ever going to wear Ariel either, to be honest!
DeleteLovely swatches!:)) thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them :)
DeleteI miss the patterned top on the sleek shadows too!!! I love sleek palettes, but I am not sure if I need to get this one, perhaps as the summer comes I will be looking at those watery blue shades...lovely clear swatches as ever. xx
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bailey - the Deep Water is just beautiful! Night Sky would be my 2nd choice though, ahead of Seashell! Some really uplifting colours here though! :-)
ReplyDeleteFinally thawing here in the northeast - I look forward to lighter shades...
ReplyDeleteThanks for this
