This review
had been long pending. My love for Sleek Makeup products is not unknown to you
all: Be it the versatile neutral eye shadow palette called Au Naturel (my most used palette!) or the Contour Kit in dark (even though I got a shade mismatch).
This love story continued when I laid my hands on this limited edition palette
by Sleek! My friend Tapaswini was selling this in a makeup sale page on FB and
I wasted no time in booking it! ;) How could I when the very name won my
heart?? Arabian Nights….ah! mysteries…..sensual…secrets….magic...royalty…. Stories….
So many things come to my mind when I hear “Arabian Nights”… umm..ok.. back to
review people! Read on to check all about this dark beauty:

Pigmentation of all
the shades is mind-blowing but the shades of the lower line are even better
pigmented than the upper line ones, just like the Au Naturel Palette, remember?
Staying power of Sleek
products on me has always been terrific and these shadows stayed on me for a
good 7 hours before fading slightly: without any primer!

Jotting down the
plus points of this palette:
v Cost effective- 12
extremely good quality eyeshadows for $11-12 is actually cheaper than spending
around Rs.600-700 on mono eyeshadows
v Shade Selection: The
shades compiled in Sleek i-divine palettes are very comprehensive. They have
pearls, shimmers and mattes in one palette which is good!
v Staying power: Stays
for a long period even without primer
v Texture: Buttery
smooth texture and no issues in blending.
v Pigmentation: Mind-blowing!
v Travel friendly packaging and good
quality mirror and dual-end sponge tip applicator included.
Only
disappointment with this palette with be availability issue L

Rating: 5/5
Recommendation: A highly recommended
palette from Sleek Makeup. Buy it if you want a set of good quality eyeshadows
for dramatic smokey looks. Skip if you prefer only neutral shades for eyes J
