SLEEK I-DIVINE PALETTES



Sleek i-Divine Palettes


Hi Guys today I want to review 3 of my Sleek palettes of my many Sleek palettes. Snapshots, Ultra mattes Darks and Ultra mattes Brights.


I got to know about Sleek 2 years back and its been a year and so I have fallen deeply in love with their eyeshadow palettes. I mean it is one brand that provides highly pigmented, excellent quality eyeshadows at a reasonable price. Unlike Urban Decay, in Sleek almost all the shades are unique, and they rarely repeat the same shade in different palettes accept the shades 'Black' and ' White'.

SLEEK I-DIVINE SNAPSHOT PALETTE

The Snapshot palettes contains rich vibrant colours. 5 mattes and 7 shimmer eyeshadows. Its has all the colours one might need, starting from deep bright colours like 'purple haze' to ' martini' a frosty white shade which can be use for higlight on the brow bone, different shades of green and blue, shimmery red to orange.It is the perfect palette to use during spring. They are soft and I dont think I need to repeat the word pigmented. The shades in this palette are very photo friendly. Swatches are given below with names of each of the shades.


My favourite shade in this palette is ' humming bird' its kinda like a shimmery blue-ish green shade and I love the colour =D.

SLEEK ULTRA BRIGHT PALETTE

The ultra mattes bright palette contains all kind of extremely bright, neon, funky colours. This is the best palette to use for theme parties ;).... The palette contains 9 catchy bright tone shades and 3 light tone shades. I think both of the ultra matte palettes ( brights and darks) have the most pigmented and extremely soft shades compare to all the other sleek palettes. Swatches with names of each shades are given below.


My favourite shades in this palette are ' pout', ' sugarlite and 'bolt'. Although I said all the shades are soft and smooth, I really had a hard time to swatch 'bammi', it was hard and was not coming on my finger properly. I had to swatch couple of times to get the colour. Weird =/

SLEEK ULTRA MATTES DARKS PALETTE

So the palette contains 9 deep dark tone shades and 3 light tone shades. The palette is really good for smoky eyes, party and club looks. Swatch with names of shades given below.


The 3 light matte shades, 'flesh' is a nude colour , and best use as eyeshadow base, and the rest two ' dune' and ' pillow talk' can be used as highlight in the brow bone. My favourite shades in this palette are 'orbit' and 'ink'. 

All in all I love it, and will keep on collecting more palettes and suggest others to get hold of sleek palettes, instead of wasting money on high end brands. Cause they are awesomee..... =D

NYX Round Lipstick- Pure Red and Indian Pink

                                         
                                                      NYX Round Lipstick
                             Shade- Pure Red (LS533A) & Indian Pink (LSS550)


NYX Round Lipstick is classic lipstick for all occasions. The mineral-bases emollient formula offers a beautiful velvet texture, saturated colour and it resists wear and smudging ( as stated in the NYX cosmetics website, I will compare this with my opinion below, after having a closure look at the packaging)

So packaging.........
Front
                                           
Bottom
                                           
Top

So the packaging is simple, plastic black case, the front body only have NYX written ( which is now the new packaging). The bottom bit is transparent and shows the colour of the shade. The interesting part is I read in a review if you ever get to open the bottom, you will find out its actually rubber in exact colour of the shade. The top has the name of the shade and the colour code.

Now my opinion, after use- I would say they are extremely creamy, moist and therefore gives a velvet texture I agree. Good for those who have dry lips( like me, my lips are extremely dry), prevents lip cracks from being visible. The colours are highly pigmented. I wont say they are 100% smudge proof but neither smudgy..........I dont agree the part were it said they 'resist wear', they do wear off after a while. All in all I will give 7.5 out of 10. The best part, NYX Round lipstick have around 108 shades to choose from, thats a lot of options right =D.

INDIAN PINK

NYX Jumbo Pencil- Milk and Cottage Cheese

NYX JUMBO PENCILS

Hi guys welcome to my blog. This is my first blog post and I will review two products from one of my favourite brand NYX. =D. I am sure you guys are very much familiar with NYX jumbo pencils. I am writing this review completely based on my opinion.
So the packaging....

As the name suggest they are very thick long pencil eye liners. With a transparent plastic cap. The name of the shade is written in the bottom along with the shade code. Now I don't know about others but I love the packaging. Its easy to hold and enough to last a long time. Now lets have a closer look at the tips.

The NYX Jumbo pencil can be used as eyeshadow, base, primer or eyeliner and I would say they serve all the purpose very well. They are soft, creamy, highly pigmented. The best part is, because of their soft creamy formation they blend easily and there is zero flakes. I mean being a messy person I always end up having smudges here and there cause of flakes..........and its hard to fix after you have already applied your based make up...........I cant tell you how many q-tips and facial wipes I have wasted and time redoing my make up, taking of smudges especially underneath my eyes and then again re-apply concealer ='(. With this Jumbo pencils I can work smoothly with zero flakes so no smudges =D

Milk- I think Milk is the most popular among all the Jumbo pencil shades. It is pure white colour and can be best used as eyeshadow base or apply it in the waterline to highlight your eyes.  ( i.e. makes your eyes look sharp and big =P)

Cottage Cheese- The Cottage Cheese is more like a white pearl colour. It is shimmery unlike Milk which is a matte shade. It can be use as highlight on the brow bone. Also on the inner corner of the eyes and outer corner especially when you used a dark eyeshadow on the outer lid.
( I hope to do a look soon, using these jumbo pencils to show what I meant)

Swatchessss............

All in all I love them, they are awesome for the price of $4.50 each. I hope to collect more shades soon. Yayyy =D.

THANKS GUYS.
