Sleek Makeup Sparkle Eyeshadow Palette Review

The Sparkle palette is a limited edition eyeshadow palette.  It has 9 sparkly shades, a matte black, gold and silver.





Most of the shades were very pigmented and long lasting.  So much so, I felt like they were eye dyes!  However, I did have a couple of issues with this palette.  First, the silver and gold were ok, but they had very little staying power compared to the others, and other shadows in general.  Second, the sparkles wore off after only a short time as well. 

Swatches:


If not for these issues, I would have liked it as much as other Sleek palettes.  However, this does detract from the palette overall in my opinion. 

I also tried one of the shadows, Star Light, wet, to see what it would do (and also because it broke to bits when I dropped it on the floor), and here's how that turned out:


It was very intense!  The only problem was, it didnt stay that way on my eye. 

Here are (little blurry- sorry, yes I think I will invest in a new camera instead of getting my cousin a $700 Iphone) the sparkles:



Overall, I don't think this is one of the better palettes from Sleek, but it is still nice.

  1. The pigmentation looks amazing! It's a shame about the staying power and that the sparklers wore off! Cute blog :)
