Sleek Pout Paint

The Sleek Pout Paint is a lip color that is SUPER SUPER REALLY FREAKISHLY pigmented. You only need the tiniest amount to color the whole lip. That's why many people are in love with them. It comes in 11 beautiful colors, and meant to be mixed to create your own color, but some of them are great to use on their own. I got 2 of them, in the color Minx and Pin up.

Minx is a soft nude pink. It's great for lighter skin tone. I use this in the tiniest possible amount to create a nude lip.
Pin up is a vibrant red. I'm sure it works for any skin tone. You can build the color by applying more layer if you want a darker red. It is a very versatile product, I even use this one as fake blood for face painting.

To use this, you'll need a lip brush, you don't want to apply this with your fingers, because it will create a mess. Take the product in a tiny dot and then apply it all over your lip. You'll be amazed by the pigmentation. It's crazy.



You can see on the left of each color I take a tiny amount of product and the right one are the same amount blended. One tube of this pout paint will last a lifetime, because a little goes a long way!

Hope it helps!

Sleek Bad Girl Palette

I've seen this palette several times, but never really want to buy it. All the colors are dark, and I think I don't need that much dark-colored eyeshadow. Black and brown were enough.

But then I think this palette is perfect for evening look, to create many kinds of smokey eyes.
So I bought it. And I am absolutely in love with this one.

Of all the Sleek palette I got, this one by far is the most pigmented one. It is incredibly pigmented! I even have to wash my brush as soon as I finish using this palette. Otherwise the stain will stay on forever.

Nothing special with the packaging. Like other Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow palette, all the colors have individual names on the plastic, the brush is the same, and so on.










When I first open the box I immediately want to try the blue ones. It's just gorgeous. You can use both blues to create a really bold dark blue smokey eyes.

But basically every color in here is amazing.

The upper part contains white, pearly pink, 3 shades of grey, and black. The lower part contains greens, blues, and purples. Each in darker and lighter shades. What more can you ask for a smokey eyes?

Matte: 4 colors (obnoxious, abyss, rebel, noir)
Shimmer: 8 colors (innocence, gullible, blade, gun metal, underground, intoxicated, envy, twilight)

I can't wait to use this!
Hope it helps!

Sleek Acid Palette

This palette is all about brights, bolds, and neons. It may not be perfect if you're looking for a palette for everyday use. But it is sure fun to play with. I have so many looks I've been wanting to try since I got this.

The packaging is similar with all the other i-Divine palette by Sleek, but one thing I notice is that this one doesn't have names for each color in the plastic inside. Not important, but in case you're wondering.









I really love the olive green on the bottom left, next to the light purple (which I think is the most poorly pigmented in this palette). The neon colors in the middle are not too pigmented, which I think would be nice as a base.

Matte: 8 colors (white, yellow, orange, light purple, olive green, pink, neon green, dark grey)
Shimmer: 4 colors (dark purple/plum, dark blue, light blue, light grey)

As usual, I chuck away the brush that came with it because for me it's just useless.

All in all, great palette to play with, I'm just a bit disappointed with the pigmentation of the light purple on the bottom left. But the rest are great!

Hope it helps!

Sleek Oh So Special Palette

This palette is my current favorite because I can create almost every look I wanted with all the colors in it. The Sleek Oh So Special Palette has 12 beautifully pigmented eyeshadows that's easy to blend. Some are matte (7 colors: bow, ribbon, pamper, the mail, boxed, wrapped up, and noir), some are shimmery (5 colors: organza, gift basket, glitz, celebrate, and gateau). As long as it has more mattes than shimmery ones and the black one is matte, I wouldn't mind. I hate black eye shadow with shimmer.


So today, i play with this palette and created a pink-purple soft smokey eyes look, using pamper, ribbon, wrapped up, and noir.


To create this look, you can follow these steps:

1. Apply eyeshadow base all over the lid to help the product stays. I'm using elf mineral eyeshadow primer. If you don't have oily lids you can skip this step. Lucky you ;)
2. Apply pamper and ribbon all over the lid. I mix this two colors because i think pamper is too bright and ribbon is too dark to use as a base/main color for me.
3. Blend those two colors all the way to the socket.
4. Apply and blend again until you get the desired amount of color.
5. Apply these 2 colors also on the lower lash line, bring it all the way to the inner corner. We don't wanna leave the lower eye colorless.
6. Apply wrapped up which is a matte deep-purple on the outer corner of the eye, almost in a "C" shape as you can see.
7. Apply and blend again. Do not bring this color to the center of the lid, because we only need the dark color on the outer corner.
8. Apply noir on the upper lash line with an angled brush. I'm using it as an eyeliner.
9. Apply noir also on the bottom lash line, but only about 1/4 of the eye, starting from the outer corner. This will help making the eye stands out even more. If you apply dark shadow all the way through the inner corner, it will make the eye look smaller.
10. Apply black eyeliner inside the waterline, all the way through the inner corner. Eyeliner on the waterline helps define the eyes. Makes sure you apply the one that stays really well, unless it will smudge all over your lower eyes. I'm using L'oreal infallible eyeliner.
11. Curl lashes and apply mascara.
12. Done :)
