Sleek Garden Of Eden I-Divine Review and Swatches




Hello everyone, today I am bringing you my review of the new Sleek Garden of Eden I-Divine. This is a beautiful new palette, filled with rich earthy tones, which features colours from bronze, to pink and greens. Overall I am impressed with this palette, I really love the shades included, especially the pinks , I think the colours are very unique, can create a variety of looks, are a dream to work with; and blend into eachother seamlessly! However I must say, there are three shades in this palette, the two glitters and a matte (as shown in the pictures below) that just lack colour pay off , and have a rough texture, compared to the normal buttery texture. I found this very disappointing, but, the other colours are so exceptionally good that this doesn't bother me too much, just make sure you use a white base underneath :)



From left to right we have:
Gates of Eden- A beautiful rustic gold frost, looks absolutely stunning on the inner corner and lids
Eve's Kiss- A light mauvey-pink frost with a gold undertone
Paradise on Earth- A darker mauvey-pink frost with a bronze undertone, looks beautiful when paired with Eve's Kiss
Python-  A dark brown frost with a rosy undertone
Forbidden- the first of the let down shades, very sheer grey glitter with a pink undertone, such a shame it isn't more pigmented as it looks so beautiful in the pan
Flora- A dark muddy brown matte


From left to right:
Entwined- Mid brown with gold glitter, not very pigmented, the swatch was three layers!
Adam's Apple- A pastel lime green matte, the last shade that's a bit of a let down, it's not that it's not pigmented, it's that it's such a pale colour that it doesn't show up that well on the lid , however with a white base it does look quite nice
Fig- A lime green frost with a gold shimmer, this looks stunning when over the top of the maybelline colour tattoo in eternal gold
Evergreen- A true green frost
Fauna- A cool mid tone green frost
Tree of Life- A dark blue tone matte green


Bottom line:
Packaging- 10/10 sleek, stylish, travel friendly, love the huge mirror
Texture- 6/10 most buttery, hit and miss
Pigmentation- 7/10 some shades lacking
Fallout- 8/10 little, most in the frosts
Price- £7.99 bargain
