My Week in Makeup #7

This week started off as a dreadful week by being back in office full force (say "Hi" to the post-holiday syndrome). Dragging myself out of the bed in the mornings were painful and in these desperate times, I tend to switch up my makeup routine every other day to introduce some adventure (reminding me of the good times via make up wise of course) in hope that I may eventually brighten my week.

Swatches & Review: Sleek Face Contour Kit

To be honest, I haven't been purchasing any makeup products lately. My current efforts seem more focused on searching for the perfect anti-aging skincare regime than adding any new products into my already quite packed makeup drawers. However, I still couldn't pass it up when I stumbled upon Sleek Makeup booth in the country that I'm currently posted. I swear that my heart skipped a beat, as the last time I've seen Sleek  Makeup booth in person was in Superdrug UK.

Swatches: Sleek Original Palette

I've owned this palette for quite some time now. Since I have not been wearing any eye makeup this year, it kinda held me back in swatching/reviewing this palette. I know many might say that it is totally fine to just swatch them but I always felt that if I have not tried the product at least once then I can't really give an accurate accoun of the palette. 

So pardon me for that, this post will only be focusing on the swatches and my first impressions of the palette.

As with the name of the brand, this packaging of the palette is a really "sleek" black casing. However, the downside of this (like MAC's palette) is that it gets stains really easily. Being slightly OCD, sometimes it drives me nuts to see stains on all my black casing products.

First impressions:

Albeit the fallout (which can be solve by applying a good base/primer on the eyes), the colors are really pigmented with soft and smooth texture. I like how all colors (except the black) are with shimmery finish. Totally can imagine myself wearing them out for party at night. I bought this from the Superdrug at Oxford Street, London at £6.49 and I think it is really a money well spent product.

I was checking out sleek makeup's website and found out that they came out with new line of pout paint (dupe of OCC lip tar?). Seems like a pretty interesting product and it's on my next shopping list. =)

What are your favorites from Sleek?
