Sleek: Idivine Eyeshadow Palette in Storm (review and swatches)

 About 2 years ago I purchased one of these palettes from sleek (I had bought the "original" palettes) so when I noticed saw the "storm" palette, I decided to buy it! It has 12 eye shadows, 3 are matte and the rest are satin shimmer, the top row of colours are light and more neutral that are good for everyday eye looks- the bottom row has darker, deeper colours which are perfect for smoky eyes that are more dramatic. The shadows are really soft and blendable! I love some of these colours, the jade green satin colour is gorgeous! The only colour I don't like is the matte black colour, it doesn't show up at all, as you can see in the swatches its a terrible colour. No matter how hard I press my brush in the black colour, but I still don't seem to get any colour. It comes with a sponge tip applicator as well. This palette is great for the price and I recommend to anyone!

Very, sleek packaging!;)

Neutral on top, more dramatic on the bottom!

Too Faced: Natural Eye Shadow Kit (review and swatches)

This is a kit of 9 shadows, each very soft in texture but still very pigmented. This kit is very popular, and I've hardly ever heard someone complain about it. It also contains 3 cards showing you how to create each look as well as a little pull-out drawer which holds a double ended applicator, one end a sponge, the other a slanted eyeliner brush. This kit has 6 shimmer eye shadows, and 3 matte eye shadows. They're each divided into different looks that you can create: "day", "classic" and "fashion". I think Too Faced have made a really good job of making it so simple to re-create a natural eye shadow look. I use these with Too Faced shadow insurance, and they stay on from morning til night when I remove my makeup. The colour "sexpresso" could also be used as eyebrow shadow if you have darker eyebrows. I do really like these shadows, and plan to buy more of Too Faced shadow box/kits! :)

Personally, I love the packaging, I've never really seen a box like this before, however some people think its too bulky.

It opens with a tab, and closes shut tightly magnetically. 

These are the help cards, these are good if you're starting out with eye shadows and don't really know what to put where, but after a while I think most people stop using the cards.

Just some close ups of the colours, as you can see, very neutral!

I love all these colours, but I must say, heaven is extremely sheer, and doesn't really show up (as you can see in the swatches). There is only one colour however, that I really don't like, and its "nude beach", Its so glittery and the glitter is very chunky I think other people would probably like it but I think maybe its just not for me! 

Sorry the swatches aren't very good..

Heaven- Sheer matte creamy white colour.
Velvet Revolver- Matte milky coffee base colour.
Sexpresso- Deep matte chocolate brown.
Silk Teddy- Shimmery, cream coloured iridescent pink.
Push up- Shimmery brown, slightly coppery.
Erotica- Deep ashy brown with golden shimmer.
Nude Beach- Very light pink coloured glittery shimmer.
Honeypot- Rich golden shimmer shadow.
Cocoa puff- Deep red brown, with golden shimmer.


I defiantly recommend this kit if you like shimmery neutral shadows!
