The first palette of 2013 from Sleek makeup, hot
off the heels of the Sparkle 2 palette at Christmas and the edition of false eyelashes, felt tip
eyeliners and addition of more lipstick shades, they are back with the Aqua
collection. Ready for Spring, launching on the 13th March is Sleek
Make-Up's newest cosmetic offering dubbed the Aqua collection which
borrows inspiration from all things aquatic.Just by looking at this collection you can't help but wish for a holiday!
Sleek
Make-Up Limited Edition Aqua Collection of course features the usual suspects
such as the eye shadow palette and blush but it also features a lovely
set of nail polishes which Sleek Make-Up aren't
precisely well-known for.
But the
soul of this collection is no doubt the Lagoon i-Divine Eye shadow Palette which
brings some tremendous colors in itself. All shades have their own charm
and beauty. Including 9 shimmer shades and 3 matte shades Lagoon i- Divine
holds the key colors to be seen in this spring.
As with every Sleek Make-Up Eyeshadow
palette this boasts 12 well pigmented eyeshadow shades and this instance the color arrangement does turn bright and bold with the odd neutral exploded in
for good amount.
A view on the shades..
Sassea,
Deep Water, Reflection, Emerald, Oyster Black Pearl, Pink Jewel, Sand
Dollar, Underworld, Sea Shell Night Sky, Ariel , every shades are beautiful and
gorgeous. These are nice high shine, shimmery colors. Black Pearl is a smokey
pearlescent finish, so it's not pure black. Even the matte coral named ARIEL!
Being the
main inspiration of this collective the palette does feature a good
few green and blue shades which are quite wearable. These shades will be
amazing not only for spring but for summers too.
Discussing about the eyeshadow finish the Lagoon palette has mainly metallic shades
with only three matte shades. All metallic and matte shades are well
pigmented and beautiful. Only Night Sky is a bit chalky and less pigmented but a single flaw doesn't matter much.
The
texture of all shadows is soft creamy like silk. I’ll say Lagoon i-divine is a
dreamy palette for holidays.
I really
love the fact how long lasting these shadows are. You can be free for about 8 to 9 hours
if you have primed your eyes and I think it’s just marvelous.
The only weakness
of this palette is that all the shades do produce a slight amount of fall out.
On the whole the shades are well formulated -
soft to the touch, blend well, highly pigmented and very long lasting.
My
personal favorite shades are Sassea, Pink Jewel & Deep Water!
