Sleek MakeUP Safari Palette - FOTD/Review.

I was very kindly sent this palette to try out - I have blogged before about how I like most of these palettes (the real exception being one that was out about a year ago, which was all matte shadows - the colours had very poor payoff, I actually threw it away!). I am still actually looking for the last LE palette, the Neon palette as it just keeps selling out of every Superdrug I go to!

Sleek MakeUP is a range that covers a wide range of skin tones; they are well know among the blogging/you tube community for their palettes, but they also have other great products - I love highlighters, and their liquid illuminator is a drugstore fave of mine...

The Sleek palettes are available in Superdrug stores, and this particular one was released on the 8th July 2009, and as usual its a steal at £4.88, for 12 mineral based shadows...

Above - safari I-divine palette and swatches

As you can see, you get a good mix of colours, and it makes putting looks together fairly foolproof... There are a mixture of matte (matte black, yellow, nude brown and green) and shimmer/satin type textures in the palette.

The shadows are all well pigmented considering the price, and they have soft smooth texture - some might find this slightly too soft - the shadows can be damaged easily (the black in my palette was actually partially damaged in the post to me), but this is a minor problem considering the price!

As I was off to Chester Zoo for the day with my other half on a very rare Weekend off, what better opportunity to have a play? Safari... Zoo... Geddit!? This is look I came up with this morning... Obviously I like to play with colours etc, but I think the palette is diverse enough to create a range of looks from subtle to smoky to more dramatic...

Products used (for those who want to know!);

Face - Illamasqua Matte Primer; RMK Creamy Foundation, Illamasqua loose powder in shade LP005 (the pink one!)

Eyes - Sleek MakeUP safari I-divine palette; Urban decay brow box; Rimmel sexy curves intense black mascara, Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner in Intense Olive.

Cheeks - Illamasqua bronzing duo in glint/writhe to sculpt and shape; Illamasqua powder blushers in Lover and Posses (the yellow one!)

Lips - Illamasqua sheer lipgloss in Torture

I am also pleased to report that the look lasted the day, despite heyfever induced episodes of watery-eyes! A great value palette that offers good colour payoff...

I was also sent a couple of their new long lasting lipglosses - Wonderlasts - these are still undergoing rigorous MizzWorthy tests, so stay tuned for a review of those soon!

What do you think of the look? I'd love to know how you use this palette if you have it?
