Sleek Makeup Collection

I am a big fan of high street makeup I think in the last couple of years high street makeup has undergone a huge change and it's great. One of my favourite brands is Sleek Makeup. When I was first getting into makeup I remember being drawn to the Storm eyeshadow palette, at the time it was actually quite hard to fine good quality eyeshadow palettes. I was instantly hooked and haven't looked back since. 

I have developed my collection of Sleek products, you will notice that it's powder product dominated and that's because I know the products work for me and I love them, but I do promise to reach out and try liquid based products from now on :)
Anyway let's get on with the good stuff..

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette




I received the Oh So Special palette from Glossybox quite a few months ago and I think it's probably one of the best products that they gave me.  I love the pigmentation and longevity of Sleek eyeshadow palettes. This palette is available from Superdrug for £7.99 which I think is a good price for 12 shades and the quality as they blend beautifully.  I like now that Sleek have introduced names to their shades even though they are printed on a separate sheet of plastic so most people will probably throw it away with the box. I like how all the shades in the palette are compatable with each and there is a good combination of matte and shimmery shades. The palette is brilliant for day or evening looks and has been my 'go to' palette for weekends away recently, especially as it comes with a massive mirror.

Eyeshadow Palettes Collection

If you saw my 52 things for 52 weeks post, you will have seen one of the goals I have set myself is to take some form of control and not buy any eyeshadows for the entire year.  5 weeks down 47 to go!  I thought this would be the perfect time to show my collection of palettes. For some people this might seem excessive and for others, won't even be a drop in the sea. Personally, this is more than enough, baring in mind that I also use smaller palettes and single eyeshadows that aren't shown.

Urban Decay - Naked Palette
Urban Decay - Naked 2 Palette
Superdrug - Earth Eyes Palette
Sleek - Storm Palette
Sleek - Respect
Sleek - Au Natural Palette
Sleek - Oh So Special Palette
MUA - Heaven and Earth Palette
MUA - Undressed Palette
Next - Just Pink Palette
Beauty UK - 4 Palette

So you can probably see a theme here not only the shades that I tend to go for, but also the brands, for me MUA and Sleek palettes are the best from the highstreet. The Urban Decay Naked palettes are the only highend palettes that I own so I can't really comment on other highend eyeshadows.
You may also think that quite a few of these seem practically untouched. That is because I never used to wear eyeshadow on an everyday basis, when I'm in a rush it's the part of my makeup that I miss out.  It's something that I am working on though.
I will be doing full posts on some of these palettes with full swatches and everything, but let me know if one does catch your eye.
