The latest offering from Sleek is a new palette called the Bohemian palette... apparently this was inspired by "antique trinkets, vintage finds and Sienna Miller". Now, when I read the bit about Sienna Miller, I almost turned "agin" this palette on principle - I find the woman so pippin annoying... Luckily, this palette is good enough for me to forgive the Sienna reference...
Sleek have changed up the packaging on this on, with a cardboard cover, and a white palette - Personally, I love the cardboard cover, it is a lot easier to open, and looks a lot more attractive than the usual plastic carton they come in. I love the artwork too...
Here they are in more detail;
These are the four shadows on the left side - a mossy green, copper, cranberry red, and a flesh coloured matte shade.
The middle four shadows are all matte, as are the four on the far right of the palette;
The other matte palette available from Sleek (the Chaos palette) was previously the one palette I was disappointed with, as the matte shadows seemed to have poor colour payoff and were difficult to blend - Sleek have really improved the quality of the matte shades in this, and I found this palette really easy to work with.
The shades included in the palette lend themselves to a variety of different looks from neutral to smoky to bright... rather than swatch all the shades, I got a bit carried away and tried to recreate the look illustrated on the box...
Here is my (admittedly quite crap) attempt - I had fun trying!
I used loads of the colours in the palette, and I thing they are really well pigmented - the palette is well worth it at £4.99 for 12 shadows.
Sleeks website is also back up and running too - they ship internationally...

check you out. I love our recreation, suits your deep blue eyes perfectly. i got my palette yesterday. it does not look too bad actually. i did not realise the cardboard was easily openable like it is, so will keep it. your recreation is perfect. The model just has more heavy black eyeliner but other than that, it's just exactly like it, i love it.
If you're anything like me, it would have taken you a long time to take pictures of the palette you're happy with. You might have also chosen some time during the day to take them, and work around that. It would be a shame if all your hard work would be stolen like this. You don't have to, but with such good photos, I'd be pretty pissed if someone stole them from me xxx
Oooh i hadn't been too keen on this as i thought the colours were shimmers, but now i know they're mattes i'll have to at least give them a swatch :P You have no idea how much i'm liiking forward to the one coming out after this, the circus palette. It's hot pink! :O
I really like the sound of this as I'm loving matte shadows at the moment. I wonder if my superdrug will stock this though as they never had the graphite palette.
I think your attempt at recreating the look was rather good actually!

Its not a crap attempt, you did a lovely job hun! I was planning to re-create this look too :) Isnt the palette just great value for money :)
loving your look. Excellent rendition of the box look. I ordered on and one of the shimmer shadows arrived shatterd so It's going back for a replacement. Sucks. Was dying to use it too!
Amazing job at recreating the look! Me loves! I need this palette in my life. Wish they would offer shipping to Canada. They always forget about us up here. LOL

gorgeous look my lovely I think you copied it really well - don't put yourself down lovely - can't wait to get my palette xx
I think your recreation looks great!!
I can't believe I still haven't tried Sleek, I must be the only one in the blogging world, lol!
Thanks for all the lovely comments guys!
@Liloo - I have no idea how to watermark pictures! It looks quite beyond me - let me know if you come across any super easy web guides...
@LillianFunnyFace - oooh, that new palette sounds fab - look forward to that!
@LoveAudrey - thanks for the lovely comment - It looked a lot better in "real life" but the light was not ideal when I took the pics - this was the best f a bad bunch lolx
@getgawjus - thanks for the lovely comment!
@nongoma - oh thats annoying! Hope your replacement arrives safe!
@LipstickRules - I thought they did ship internationally not? It says on the website that the only area they don't ship to is africa?
@Cat and @Louise - thank you!
@Madame B Fatale - Their palettes in particular are well worth a try!
GREAT recreation! This is my next guilt-free purchase, for sure! So glad sleek still pitch it at £4.99, despite its gaining popularity. YAY
Great recreation, really suits you eye color. I wanted to get this palette and I was thrilled to find that they ship internationally, but the prices are crazy! They charge the palette for £8.50 and with the shipping goes up to £15.50! What a shame!!! :(
I don't think your attempt is crappy at all!
I think I'm going to pass on this one, I have 3 Sleek palettes already and I don't reach for them very often although I find them gorgeous. They're fun to play with but the shadows don't really stay on all day even with primer, at least on me.
I love your recreation!
Love the eye look. Very noooice.
I'm not buying this or Circus when it comes out though. They don't appeal to me and I odn't use the Sleek palettes that I DO have enough as it is.
your version of the box pic is gorgeous! love it loads!!! suits you as well!!! xxx
Yep! I am so going to have to get my mitts on this.
Ex
these colours are so vibrant. they look like water colours. beautiful!
Oh wow, I LOVE the look you made, I was waiting for someone to recreate the look on the box picture and you made an excellent job!!!
I 've only tried the Storm palette from Sleek, and I 'm not that crazy about it (the shimmery ones are my least favourites), but I 'd love to try out this one, if only for that look!

i think u did a great job :)
