Sleek "Oh So Special" i-divine palette: Review & Swatches

Back when sleek (sleekmakeup.com) had a 30% off sale I took the plunge and ordered a few things. Since I am in the US the shipping took 3 weeks untracked, I also hear you can order from Amazon.com. I am going to try to post all of my reviews as soon as possible now that I have had my products for a while and have a feel for them. 
Nothing I ordered came broken, and nothing was smooshed. 
Suggestions of looks to create on the back.
Like the brand name the packaging is very sleek, it is a matte black with a lacquered black insignia. 
On the back it tells you what palette it is because the front is the same for all the sleek palettes. 
These palettes also come with a little plastic sleeve with the names on it. 
Here is a better look at the eyeshadows without the plastic sleeve. 
  • Bow: Matte, white/ cream color, light in pigmentation,  perfect for browbone
  • Organza: Shimmer, Light pink, average pigmentation, lid
  • Ribbon: Matte, pink- looks brighter in the pan, sheer pigmentation, blending color
  • Gift Basket: Shimmer, rosey brown, average-great pigmentation, lid or outer corner
  • Glitz: Shimmer, Charcoal gray, very smooth and great pigmentation, lid color for smokey eye
  • Celebrate: Shimmer, Deep almost black with a purple sheen, lid for smokey eye



  • Pamper: Matte, Pale Pink, lighter than in the pan and sheer, browbone color
  • Gateau (means cake in french): Shimmer, Iridescent pink-purple, average pigmentation, lid color
  • The Mail: Matte, Light Warm Brown, weak pigmentation, blending or transition color
  • Boxed: Matte, Dark Brown, average-great pigmentation but sheers out, crease color
  • Wrapped Up: Matte, Plum, average- great pigmentation (darker than in pan), crease color
  • Noir (black in French): Matte, true black, a bit dry but INTENSE pigmentation
Overall, very impressed with the quality. 
This palette has a great mix of mattes and shimmers, and a range of colors.

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Image
Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlight I love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like this Screenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticks Not as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long time Can be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonabl

There are many contour options from single shades, palettes, powder, cream, but rarely do they cater to fair skin tones. This cream contour palette is in the shade fair, retailing for $40. There are three highlight shades in the top row, and three contours in the lower row. Cruelty free Sleek packaging After watching With flash No flash For a video demo:  https://youtu.be/jXuu8vNIljs The consistency is creamy but on the drier side Can mix with a facial oil if desired Still blends out very easily on its own I usually apply with my fingertips to desired areas and then blend out with a beauty blender Soft Light is a more peachy pink "pale peach" toned concealer / highlight Lustre is an iridescent clear shimmer "sheer porcelain" Not my favorite shade since it is not intense enough as a highlight and the product still needs to be set in place Fair is more yellow toned "pure sand" and is concealer toned on my skin F
