Sleek Storm Palette

17 Comments

The Sleek Storm Palette is my 3rd palette from Sleek, the first two being Sleek Sunset and Sleek Graphite. This eyeshadow palette focuses more on earthy tones, that are great for coloured smokey eyes so would be fab for this fall season or clubbing! Like all sleek eyeshadow palettes, these are mineral eyeshadows, which are very finely milled and really soft. Each palette with 12 eyeshadows retails for less than £5 so they're very affordable! At the moment, these are sold by the UK drugstore Superdrug. Keep reading for product photos and my review!

As you can see, these shades are earthy tones of blues, greens and browns. I have heard many raves about this palette, and its not hard to see why! Swatches ahead!

This palette is very pretty. Most of the eyeshadows are velvety and shimmery, however, I have a few qualms with the ones that aren't. These are the two brown ones: 3rd from top left and 2nd from bottom right. I found them to be quite difficult to swatch, and the payoff isn't that great.. but I think its to provide more variety for textures, and for less shimmery eyeshadow crease colours. But still, I don't like those two very much, but on the whole, this palette provides a lot of colour variety for those who want smokey earthy eyeshadow colours. I can imagine this palette would look amazing with nude lips!

Do any of you have this palette? What do you think? ♥

I just got this palette! Yet to try it but looks gorgeous so far. I think you're right, a nude lip is most certainly the way to go- it would look gorgeous.
