Hey guys

I bought this a couple weeks ago when superdrug were doing the 3 for 2 I think this was £6. I think this is meant to be a dupe for the Urban decay smoked palette which I have just ordered from debenhams. These pictures have been saved in a draft post for a couple weeks and in clicking into the draft to write this my first thought was that it has the same colours as the urban decay I've just ordered so there may be a subsequent comparison post (It hasn't arrived yet otherwise I would). 

This like the urban decay comes with a eye liner which I was really impressed with as it was a very true black and in no way gray.

The colours apart from the two really light mattes were really well pigmented and so I'm kind of regretting ordering the urban decay as I completely forgot about this palette. At least I got 15% of the smoked palette and that it also comes with a primer potion.

Hope you enjoyed

Hey guys,

As I said in one of my latest posts I've been on a real palette buying kick recently. I picked up this palette and a couple other products to get the 3 for 2 offer that superdrug, and boots, are doing at the moment. I really wanted to try an MUA palette as I have a few of the singles (I will go into these in a separate post) and wanted to see if the palettes were as good. I'm not a big fan of neutral makeup and like to experiment with makeup, so I wasn't that excited about this. I however have been loving gold and copper shadows so was looking forward to trying out those shades.  

I was glad that the majority of these weren't matte finishes as I do prefer shimmery shadows. I loved the golds and coppers and was surprised to fall for the pink rose gold shade which is the bottom shade in the picture above.

The pigmentation of the shimmers was really great yet the mattes let this palette down as they lack pigmentation. 

The packaging isn't the best and the brushes that come with these sort of palettes I always just throw away. It is nice that you can see the colours through the clear top of the palette. Overall it feels a bit cheap but for only £4 this is a steal and I would definitely recommend to any neutral shimmery eyeshadow lover. I think the single shadows(£1) are of a much better quality but the palettes do work out cheaper as each shadow in them works out to  34p each.

Hey guys,

I recently picked up this technic eyeshadow palette in a budget beauty shop near me. I had heard of this brand before but I had never bought any of their products. I got this for £1.99. They were also selling another pallet that kind of reminded me of the sunset palette from sleek, but I didn't fancy the colours in that one so only picked up this one.  

The palette is basically the same packaging as all the sleek palettes.

I was really surprised with how pigmented this turned out to be. All of these swatches were done with one swipe of the colour. I am in love with the olive green shade but haven't worn it on my eyes yet. I don't think it will go with my blue hair :P. I can't believe the colours are so good for something that was £1.99 it works out at about 17p per eyeshadow! If you see this product I would definitely recommend picking it up.   

Hey guys,

I've been on a real pallet buying frenzy at the moment and have got a lot more to show you coming soon. I really like sleek makeup and have owned the acid pallet for years. I also used to use their liquid eyeliner (which is my fav liquid liner) until I switched to using there gel liner when the liquid ran out. I've been wanting to get all the pallets for a while but decided to wait until superdrug was doing a 3 for 2 as it would save me a bit of money as sleek have gone up in price since I first bought the acid pallet.

Today I wanted to show you the original pallet as it is really good quality, super pigmented and cheap in comparison to buying single eyeshadows as you get twelve different shades for £7.99 which works out £0.66 ish per shadow. I also wanted to show you this one to start with as I've got 7 more sleek pallets to show you and felt I should start with the original :P

On with the swatches. (sorry about the quality I had to take these on my phone)

All the colours are super pigmented. Most are shimmer/ metallic apart from the black which is black which suits me fine as I'm not a massive fan of matte shades. This is without flash 

Same as above but with flash. Some colours took more than one swipe to build up the colour such as the darkest blue and the purple but other than that most are the result of one swipe. 

The pallet without flash. I love all the shades but my favourite are the two in the bottom right corner the gold and the olive green. All these colours are amazing for this season and could create really great daytime and party looks alike. 

The pallet with flash. All colours come out true to how they look in the pallet and are such good value for money. I really recommend this pallet and the older sleek pallets as some of the latest releases such as the vintage romance pallet are not as well pigmented. Also the black shades are a lot more true black in the older releases as they are more charcoal in the newer pallets.

The back of the packaging is good as it says the name of the pallet so you don't have to open all the pallets to find the one you were initially looking for.
