Sleek MakeUp - PPQ Shangri-La Collection Respect Palette



      So when it comes to makeup I'm kind of snobby, sorry - I cant help it, I'm in the mind set you get what you pay for, I used to be a skincare specialist and its pretty much ingrained in me to look at the ingredients list. But I'd heard such amazing reviews about Sleek MakeUp that I had to pop into Superdrug and have a play! 20 minutes later I came out with this palette, an amazing MUA Eyebrow Kit thats identical to the HD Brows one, for £3.50!!! Also a free Rimmel Scandeleyes Nude eyeliner. So I think its safe to say I've been convinced, now no makeup is safe from me!

      Anyway I was pretty pleased with myself and couldn't wait to get home. At first look, I was a little put off by the sponge applicator - it's my pet hate, I never have a never will like them, but that doesn't stop me loving ALL of the colours. The shadows are said to be inspired by classic Motown sound and the 60's style, they even have some really fun names like 'Otis Red' 'Aretha Orange' and 'Motown Mink'. 

      The browns and taupes are timeless classics which you can never have enough of and they are suited for everyone's colouring. Then the more spring/summer shades of pinks and coral, that are stunning. Perfect for that extra pop of colour when you feel the occasion is necessary, for me that nearly every other day :) My thoughts on the shadows in quality are that; they have great colour pay off, super easily blendable and have very little fall out, pretty perfect!

Top Row (L-R) Gladys white, James Brown, Shalamar.
Bottom Row (L-R) Roberta Black, Vandellas, Cameo Cream. 

Top Row (L-R) Count Basi Beige, Aretha Orange, Otis Red.
Bottom Row (L-R) Motown Mink, O'jays, NewJack Pink.

       After swatching the palette, I can honestly say I am shocked at how super pigmented they are. There are some beautiful subtle frosted colours. And then the matte shadows have a lush creamy texture to them. Motown Mink, O'Jays, Shalamars & Vandellas are my favourites!

      At £7.99 I will most defiantly be going back for more! There isn't one shadow in this palette I don't like. I can't wait to have a proper play with them  on my eyes :) 

      What are you favourite Sleek products? Is there any other must-haves out there?
