Day 15: Sleek I-Divine PPQ Shangri-la collection - Respect Eyeshadow Palette

Hi,

Wow what a long name for an eye shadow palette, not quite sure what it all means but basically Sleek have come out with a new collection called "Shangri-la" and within it is 2 eyeshadow palettes and 2 matt lipglosses. I decided to get the respect eye shadow palette and the Jazz lip gloss, as they both seemed to go so well together and the colours are just so bright and beautiful.

The outer packaging is very vibrant when compared to sleek's usual black on black so stood out a mile on the display stand:




Inside the packaging is the usual from sleek shiny black on matt black, simple but I love it. The only downfall to this is that at a glance I can't tell all my sleek palettes apart?


what's inside this simple looking palette however more than makes up for the exterior. The glorious warm colours of the 12 eyeshadows dazzle you as you open it, with oranges, ochres, browns and creams this is a palette that could take you from the day to night with ease.

The large mirror makes this ideal for travel with room for a small brush if you
don't like the applicator sponge it comes with.
What I also love about this palette aside from the gorgeous colours is their names. They have clearly been inspired by 60's motown, as the names contain some of the best musicians from that era.

Top L-R: Gladys White & James Brown
Bottom L-R: Roberta Black & Vandellas
Top L-R: Shalamar & Count Basi Beige
Bottom L-R: Cameo Cream & Motown Mink
Top L-R: Aretha Orange & Otis Red
Bottom L-R: O' Jays & New Jack Pink

 As always with the Sleek palettes the colours are highly pigmented, the only colour that I felt wasn't, was Gladys White which I could not get to swatch at all. I've swatched them in the three sets of four as above (they are all with primer as I always use it nowadays):

L-R: Gladys White, James Brown, Roberta Black & Vandellas

L-R: Shalamar, Count Basi Beige, Cameo Cream & Motown Mink

 L-R: Aretha Orange, Otis Red, O' Jays & New Jack Pink

Let me know in the comments below if you have tried this palette or any other products from Sleek.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
