Sleek i-Divine Storm Palette

Did I mention that I've won something for a Halloween contest with my chinese opera look? LOL!!! Jealous? Muahaha... So my prize for that contest is a Sleek i-Divine Storm Palette. (Why do I always get to win sleek palette? Not that I don't like. In fact, I love them but it's just that couldn't it be other things instead? = _ = )


Packaging : 7 / 10
- It's sleek. (Pun intended.) :p
- It's compact and really slim. It can be easily put inside your bag. Though the content will definitely be lesser but we'll never gonna finish all. Are we? Or maybe just me? =D


User-friendliness : 8 / 10
- It has a huge-ass big mirror. I like the mirror and I often use the mirror there even if I'm not using the palette that much.
- Comes with a dual ended smudger. Easy and simple. Nothing to complain about it.

Scent : 9 / 10
- It's almost odourless (or scentless?). If you sniff hard, there are actually some light talcum smell but nothing strong about it. So I'll take this as a good point as I don't like smelly eyeshadow.

Texture : 7 / 10
- Soft, smooth, buttery. Not bad for a drugstore brand. However, they happen to be a little loose. So when you press the shadow harder and you'll be taking too much of the products that you need.




Color : 7 / 10
- This palette's colors are all very nice for everyday use. Be it for work (top row) or for a wild night out (bottom row), this 12-colors palette sure can be a good mate in your handbag.
- It has 3 matte shades in there. Two of them are earth tone (beige and brown) which can be use for face contouring (nose bridge, eye socket, etc.) and a matte black shadow that can be use as eyeliner. Pretty useful.



Pigmentation : 9 / 10
- Excellent! They are super pigmented. The swatches above are without any base.

Lasting-Power : 7 / 10
- Apply without eye base will cause creasing after like 2 hours on my oily lids which is quite alright for me. Color fade a little after like 3 to 4 hours. It's good enough for an outing but if you're using it for a 8-hours work, put on your eye primer.

Price : 10 / 10
- This is very very very very for it's content and performance. It's less than £5.00 each (less than RM30.00 each).

Availability : 2 / 10
- Sad. They're not available in Malaysia. No shipping to Malaysia as well. (I heard they will start international shipping but no idea is Malaysia included.)
- I suppose we can get this through some spree BUT, I still haven't meet one yet. (USA spreers a lot, UK spreer zero.)
*** Sleek MakeUP, if you're reading this please put Malaysia into your shipping list and try to make the postage cheaper. :p

Overall : 8 / 10
- It's overall a pretty good product (albeit the availability). I'll really love to have all of the palettes. They have a new LE palette name Graphite which is a pretty smokey eye palette and also their Sunset palette. Drool~ Haha! I'll put them in my wishlist. *Hint hint*

Read my review about their Original palette here.

That's all for now. Tata.

love,
