Now that there's another 4 or 5 days until we can all start packing our party dresses up the attic, us beauty junkies can still afford a bit of extra glitz&glam to our makeup, am I right? Enter Sleek's Sparkle 2, a limited-edition eyeshadow palette that fits perfectly the holiday season.
This is my first tryout in the much acclaimed Sleek palettes, and I must say I'm amazed.
Apart from the ease of having so many eyeshadows in one place (yes, I'm a neat freak),
the seletion of colours is unique and their pigmentation is pretty awesome! I've already made a mental note of an eyeshadow combo that should look stunning on my eyes: navy on the lid, burgundy in the crease, and some black glitter around the top&bottom lashline... Brown-eyed girls, take note!
That being said, not every single shade performs as great as the next one- but I guess that's something to expect in a 12-eyeshadow palette. At the end of the day, there's ALWAYS one or two shades that are left unused in any makeup palette!
So, the theme of the Sleek Sparle 2 palette is, obviously, glitter. My initial fears of too in-your-face drama were quickly dissolved. You see, there are 4 shimmery shades that are perfectly wearable, while the rest eyeshadows apply like mattes, with some gold glitter particles thrown here and there. I quite like that, although if you're fond of real glitter, this palette will most likely dissapoint you.
Onto the swatches:
