My FOTD ft.Sleek "oh so special" & Gerard cosmetics "1995"

Today's post is a pretty long back one, which was lying untouched and unpublished in my drafts. So, I thought it's time that I release this one and make it public to everyone...

A long back post of my look playing with Sleek i-divine eyeshadow palette in "oh so special" and "Gerard Cosmetics" lipstick in "1995".

"A pretty neutral kind of lip shade when paired up with shimmery smokey grey eyes then it creates a pretty subtle glam look."
 A perfect smokey look which might be uneasy or uncomfortable for few people but my comfort zone lies in it.

 

Starting with a short review about the palette:-

The palette is perfect for day and night look. It is easy to carry as it sleek in packaging.

Availability:- Sleek website sleekmakeup.com
Price:- $11.99 + shipping

The sleek palette is most affordable palette that is worth buying for beginners mostly. The sleek and sturdy packaging made the palette travel-friendly. Each eyeshadow is quite pigmented. The shimmery shades are more pigmented than the matte ones. The matte one do have little fallouts which I think can be sorted with proper eye shadow primer. The shadows stay pretty 7 hours on my oily lid along with primer and without primer, it stays 5 hours. 

The Sleek i-divine palette consists of 12 mixed shades of both matte and shimmer. On my upper lid, I used "Glitz" and "Noir" shades from the palette. To blend the harsh line I use the shade "The Mail". On my lower lid, I use "Glitz" on my lash line followed by a black Kajal to tightline upper and lower lashline.

Over in all Sleek "oh so special" palette is a must have a palette in your stash if you are an eyeshadow lover. It is one of the hottest selling palettes in their website till now.

On my lips, I used "Gerard Cosmetics" Lipstick in the shade "1995".

Coming to a short review of the lipstick :-

It comes in a beautiful golden case which enhances my lipstick stash to some extent. The packaging of the lipstick is so classy that I can grab few more from this range due to it's packaging only.

Availability:- www.gerardcosmetics.com
Price:-$19 

My experience with lipstick:-

The lipstick is matte in texture which is smooth on lips. Although it claims to be matte but I personally feel it is satin in texture on my lips. The lipstick is perfect neutral shade for me. It is medium pigmented, need 2-3 swipes to get opaque coverage. It stays pretty 4-5 hours on my lips. It fades evenly a bit after any drinks or meal but as it fades evenly it doesn't look patchy on lips.
The Gerard cosmetics websites always have some offers going on so it is always better to grab these lipsticks during the offer.

Over in all Gerard cosmetics, lipsticks are the most beautiful packaging affordable lipsticks.




A closer look of my eyeshadows:-

So, finally here is the FOTD featuring Sleek "oh so special" palette on my lids and "Gerard cosmetics" lipstick "1995" on my bare lips.

I hope you like today's post.
I will see you soon with another interesting post soon.

Romancing with Sleek I-divine Vintage Romance Palette:-

Hey girls,       

After a long series on Lipstick Talks (Part I 
Part 2  Part 3 Part 4 )

Here I am up with a small review on one of recent favorite palette and it’s all from Sleek. Few detailing pictures about the palette is just below...

The palette comes in a beautiful cardboard box. Although the eyeshadow case comes in a matte black case with the name “sleek” written on it. Definitely the packaging of the palette is boring compare to the cardboard which is colorful. So I usually keep the palettes along with cardboard as it is easy to find out the palette seeing the outer box when I am in hurry. But again on second thought I am really thankful to sleek for focusing on the eye shadows mostly not on packaging. As shredding extra bucks just for a cute packaging sometime doesn’t worth.  Moreover the price of palette are really affordable. And thus easy to grab.

Product info by the brand about this palette:-

According to sleek the palette can be used to create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. I-Divine eyeshadow palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each eyeshadow palette includes a matte dark color, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.

Create enchanting eyes with Vintage Romance i-Divine eyeshadow palette.

Metallic Court In Cannes or matte Propose In Prague can be applied on the eye lid as a base for every look Shimmery shades such as Pretty In Paris and Meet In Madrid can be applied to the inner corners, to brighten the face and widen eyes Blend sparkly, darker shades Forever In Florence or Love In London along the eye socket to contour and add definition to your eyes Sleek MakeUP suggests opulent eyes by applying Court In Cannes all over the eye lid sweeping it underneath the bottom lash line. Blend metallic shade Bliss in Barcelona along the eye socket to define eyes. To intensify the look, layer sparkly Forever in Florence over the eye socket, focusing on the outer corners.

Suitable for vegans and vegetarians                                      

Vintage Romance collection encapsulates an old world floral affair of dreamy and enchanting shades. Inspired by the sheer beauty of romance; fall head over heels for sparkling, pearlescent, intensely pigmented shades and style yourself up in oh so glamorous Vintage Romance. 

Okay next coming to the palette. The palette have some pretty range of shades. It has beautiful shades of golden, silver. It has different shades of purples and blues along with a sparkling black eyeshadow. One can create both day and night look with this one palette. 

Coming to the pigmentation few shades are quite pigmented while few are medium pigmented. I have problem with their fallout issues but then at this price when you getting twelve pretty eye shadows then I think it totally worth the price.

Sleek always try to come up with beautiful palettes, but may be due to under rated media handling I think they are always away from limelight (I wish sleek listen to it). The fallout issues of eye shadows can easily be sorted out with a good eye shadow primer. I always found few shades are chalky in most sleek palette but surprisingly in this particular palette all the shadows have satin texture. Specially the gold and bronze shade have buttery texture. Whenever I swatch the shades I can feel the buttery texture of eye shadows. 

Here are the swatches. All the swatches are done on single swipe and without any base.
 

And finally here I am experimenting with the palette in two different look :)

So, over in all I just love the palette and definitely it is a must have palette in your kitty.

So, that’s all for today…!

See you in my next post soon.

Sammy ! :)

Now My take on the product:-

The palette contains all beautiful bright shades...I should be confident to wear it [which i am not].I think if you want to try out this palette then you should first try out the Sleek i divine storm palette one because that palette will give you a little hint of this palette.As all the shades are highly pigmented...one should be more confident to apply it as removing this shades is little harder with my regular biotique makeup removing oil ...Otherwise it is a great palette.

Pros:-

• Not pricey compare to other eyeshadow palette that are available outside India.
• Travel friendly packaging.
• Customer attractive too.
• Highly pigmented.
• All are shades are just perfect for party.
• Contain both matte and shimmer shades.

Cons:-

 Sorry I haven't found any negative thing in this palette.

My ratings:-5/5
My suggestion:- Sleek palettes are just incomparable to any other palette as they worth to have it in your kitty.

Love
Samannita
