After learning of this brand called
Sleek some years ago, I have been trying to get my hands on their wonderful well pigmented, vivid colored and cheap eye palettes. Thanks to
Luxola, I am able to enjoy products from Sleek without having to go through all the hassle of shipping it from UK. I first started out my collection with the Au Naturel palette, after which I went on to buy the Oh So Special from some blog sale. Just within a year, my Sleek eye palette collection grew and so I would like to share some swatches and thoughts of the palettes.
My Collection:

Oh So Special is one of my most reached for palette. The pinks in the palette are so pretty, can be played with a light hand for a girly touch or with a heavier hand mixed with browns to give a romantic look.

From top to bottom: 1.Noir, 2.Regal, 3.Mineral Earth, 4.Bark, 5.Moss, 6.Conker, 7.Taupe |
Another palette which has colors so natural and wearable for everyday work look. It's the palette I go for when I am in a rush and just need a dash of color on my eyes for some definition. I have only swatched the bottom row of the palette as the top row just wouldn't show up.

The orange and pinks in this palette are simply to die for. Colors are bold, definitely not for the weak-hearted.
Snapshots i-Divine Palette

A palette with eye-popping colors. I love the good mix of mattes and shimmery eye shadow colors.
Storm i-Divine Palette

I just love the metallic look of this palette. It's the palette I would go to for a stronger and edgy look. The colors in the bottom row helps to do smokey look really easily.
In general, the palettes from Sleek are really well made and really worth getting. Pigmentation of the eye shadows are really good, only the natural matte eye shadows are harder to pick up. The color selection and combination of each palette are nicely done, especially at such a cheap price (~SGD$20). Only complain that I have of the palettes is the recurring black eye shadow that appeared in four out of five palettes. Why would I need so many black eye shadows for, especially when I could have gotten another special color?
For those who lives in Singapore and is interested to get the Sleek palettes, here are some online sites that I have found to carry them:
