Product Review: Sleek Snapshots i Divine Eyeshadow Palette.

Hi lovelies!

I can't believe another weekend has passed us by already! This year is simply flying along. Quick post today with some swatches of the new Sleek Makeup Snapshots i Divine eyeshadow palette.

It's a new, limited edition palette available for purchase through the Seek Makeup website. It retails for $10 USD and they ship internationally for quite an affordable fee (it depends on what you purchase but I bought two palettes and got charged about $4 USD for shipping). It contains 12 mineral based, highly pigmented pressed shadows (each with approximately 1.1 g of product), in a combination of matte and shimmery formulas.

I've swatched the shades, these were all taken in daylight without primer, so they'll be more vibrant if you use them over primer.

L-R: Summer Breeze, Martini, Kiwi Flower, Lotus Flower,
Hummingbird and Tequila Sunrise.

L-R: Sand Walker (disappeared on me), Washed Ashore, Sunset,
Green Iguana, Purple Haze and Magenta Madness.

I have swatched them and also created several looks with them, and have been very pleased with the texture. They are smooth, buttery and blend like a dream. Some of the mattes are slightly chalky, with a little bit of fall out noticeable, but nothing that can't be swept away with a fluffy brush after you're done with your eye makeup. One of the shades, Sand Walker, tends to disappear on my skin, as you might see from the photo above.

Pros:
A fun and bright palette packaged in a handy, hardy and...well, sleek, casing.
It's quite hard so it should provides quite a bit of protection.
Travel-friendly and comes with a mirror for easy touch-ups.
Quite affordable at $10 USD for 12 mineral shadows.
Very versatile as it has some matte nudes as well as brights.
Perfect for summer.

Cons:
If you aren't into brights, then this really isn't the palette for you.
Some of the shades are a little chalky/powdery, but not too hard to work with.
The palette can be a bit hard to open.
Depending on your skintone, one or two shades might disappear on you.

Now, in my previous post, I did a look using these palette and asked if any of you wanted me to do use any colours in particular; most of you wanted to see the orange based shadows (Tequila Sunrise, Washed Ashore and Sunset) with a couple of votes towards Magenta Madness and Purple Haze, so I have put together a special post on that, which I'll share tomorrow (it's going to be a little picture heavy so I wanted to keep it separate).

Please check back tomorrow so you can see what I've done.

Much love,
MM.
