Sleek Vintage Romance I-Divine Review and Swatches


Hello everyone, today I am bringing you a review on the beautiful Sleek vintage romance palette, full of romantic, vibrant, and rich shades. Sleek for me is a recent discovery, as I have always found myself just passing by the products in superdrug, however, the moment I saw this palette I knew I had to get it; and boy am I glad I did. The colours are sensational, they are a dream to work with, feel like butter and blend seamlessly into eachother. I love the fact that this palette can take you from a daytime neutral to a full on glam look, with such a wide variety of colours, from brown, to gold, silver, bronze, purple, blue, to pink! Another thing I love is the variety of finishes included, there are mattes, frosts, glitters and shimmers; altogether making this palette extremely versatile.The thing that stood out the most to me in the palette is the rich, pigmented colours. From past experience I have always found purple eyeshadows to be very hit and miss across all brands, however sleek has got the formula down to a tee, they are outstanding. Not to mention the price, £7.99 for this is an absolute bargain, and I would recommend to everyone :)



The top row:

From left to right:
Pretty in Paris- The perfect inner corner highlight or lid colour, a beautiful white silver frost
Meet in Madrid- A  yellow gold frost (also a perfect match to the maybelline colour tattoo in eternal gold)
Court in Cannes- A light bronze frost
Lust in LA- A mixture of Meet in Madrid and Court in Cannes, a really beautiful multi-dimensional bronzey gold shimmer
Romance in Rome- A duo-chrome navy purple shimmer with light blue specks
Propose in Prague- A brick red/brown matte, the perfect colour to use in the crease or to blend out, as it works perfectly with all the other colours included

The bottom row

From left to right:
A vow in Venice- a beautiful mid tone grape shimmer
Marry in Monte Carlo- A stunning deep fuchsia, purple frost (My favourite shade)
Honeymoon in Hollywood- A glitter deep wine colour, perfect for the outer corner and lower lash line
Bliss in Barcelona- A duo-chrome shimmer deep purple-blue
Forever in Florence - Very dark glitter burgundy
Love in London- Glitter black

Bottom Line-
Packaging: 10/10 Nice stylish compact with a huge mirror
Texture: 10/10 buttery smooth
Pigmentation: 9/10
Fallout: 8/10 little if any at all, more is apparent in the frosts than the other textures.
Price: 10/10  you can't beat £7.99, worth every penny
