Sleek Palette - Storm

Here is another of my Sleek Palette swatches/reviews. This week we have the Storm palette, I think this was one of the permanent range so you may be able to source one somewhere or find it on ebay.

My previous Sleek palette swatches can be seen here: Bohemian, Safari and Graphite.


I knew I had to get this one as it is stacked full of neutrals and makes a great staple for any cosmetic collection. Great for days when you are not feeling so brave, or just want to look more natural.

This palette has a mix of matte and shimmery, though more shimmery shades this time, nine out of the twelve. It is full of browns, beiges, with a few deeper shades of green, blue and grey for good measure.


Colours inside:

1. Beige Gold metallic
2. Buttermilk metallic
3. Beige matte
4. Gold metallic
5. Pink metallic
6. Deep red rust metallic
7. Brown metallic
8. Dark grey metallic
9. Deep moss green metallic
10. Dark navy metallic
11. Mid brown matte
12. Black matte


This is a great palette for more natural looks, though very heavy on shimmer and metallics so not as subtle as your average neutral.

Sleek Palette - Graphite

Here is another of my Sleek Palette swatches/reviews. This week we have the Graphite palette, one of the limited edition palettes.

Swatches of the previously reviewed palettes can be seen here: Bohemian, Safari.


This palette was a must buy for me as I love smokey eyes and I use loads of greys, so this was just perfect for me. Being a limited edition one also made it one I had to get my hands on fast. SO on release day I went off to Superdrug and picked one up, they were flying out so quick!

This palette is really all metallics with the exception of one matte shade. It is full of greys, black, navy, purple and a couple of highlight colours. A great mix for any smokey eyed look.


Colours inside:

1. White metallic
2. Cream metallic
3. Silver metallic
4. Light grey metallic
5. Light/mid grey metallic
6. Mid grey metallic
7. Mid/dark grey metallic
8. Dark grey metallic
9. Black matte
10. Slate blue metallic
11. Navy metallic
12. Purple metallic


A great palette for smokey-eyes. Okay, so it has a lot of the same shades, but then it is designed to be for darker looks, so it does what is sets out to do, and it does it well. One of my fav ones this one.

More Sleek palettes next week!

Sleek Palette - Safari

Here is another of my Sleek Palette swatches/reviews. This week we have the Safari palette, one of the limited edition palettes.

Swatches of the previously reviewed palettes can be seen here: Bohemian


This palette was love at first sight, I knew I had to have this one the moment I saw pics of it online. I love earthy colours, I feel safer using neutrals and dusky shades for everyday, they just work so well and always give a nice sophisticated look, so this palette was a must have for me.

This palette has a mix of matte and shimmery, though more shimmery shades this time, nine out of the twelve. It is full of rich, earthy tones, from browns and golds, to deep greens.


Colours inside:

1. Black matte
2. Bright yellow gold metallic
3. Khaki green metallic (gorgeous!)
4. Moss green metallic
5. Rich burnt orange metallic
6. Mid yellow gold metallic
7. Pale fawn matte
8. Buttermilk matte
9. Bright grass green matte
10. Dark green metallic
11. Gold metallic
12. Brown/bronze metallic


These are some fabulous colours, they really do suit the safari name and work so well together.

This has to be one of my favourite Sleek palettes, it just ticks all the boxes for me, love it!

More Sleek palettes soon!

Sleek Palette - Bohemian

I have been collecting the Sleek palettes for a few months now, I don't have them all as I came to them quite late, but I have gotten all that I was interested in, with a total of six now.

Here is the latest one, the Bohemian palette, which I believe is the latest limited edition palette.


The Sleek palettes have become almost legendary on blogs and YouTube. They are so cheap but very pigmented and pretty good quality. How can you resist 12 colours for only £4.99 !?
They are very very soft in texture, they can damaged easily due to this, but so far all of mine have been fine, even survived a drop off the bed! The pigmentation on these is amazing, I usually use Urban Decay shadows and I adore them, they are high quality and pigmented but a bit pricey. Sleek shadows are pretty good too, rich deep colours and vibrant tones, you can't go wrong really, not at this price.

I wasn't sure if I wanted this one at first, some of the colours looked a bit scary and I wasn't sure I would use it very much. But I saw some swatches online and it looked far nicer than I thought. I was very drawn to the navy and green in this palette as well as the neutrals, so decided to go for it and get it while I still could.

This palette has a mix of matte and shimmery, though more mattes at nine out of the twelve. Makes a nice change to see more mattes in a Sleek palette. The colours go from neutral browns to rich blue and purple.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the new white palette though, I much preferred the black ones, just looked a bit classier somehow.....


Colours within the palette:

1. Antique Gold metallic shimmer
2. Rich Bronze metallic shimmer
3. Rich Burgundy matte
4. Bright Yellow matte
5. Buttermilk matte
6. Black matte
7. Peach matte
8. Deep red rust metallic
9. Mid green matte
10. Deep Navy matte
11. Rich purple matte
12. Dark Brown matte


Some lovely shades here, not as scary as it first appears. The matte ones are surprisingly pigmented, as much so as the metallics, which shocked me. I love the green and navy mattes, really nice useable shades. The metallic golds and bronzes are fab too, though a bit much for everyday LOL

I am very happy with this one. I am so pleased I finally bought it before it ran out, the colours are just stunning and I can't wait to start wearing it.

I will be swatching the other five Sleek Palettes that I have over the next few weeks. So you can look forward to swatches of the following palettes from Sleek: Storm, Original, Safari, Graphite and Sunset.
