| Sleek i-Divine Au Naturel Palette |
I finally bought a Sleek eye palette! I rarely use eyeshadow but that could be down to the fact that the only eyeshadow I own is in an ANCIENT Virgin Vie palette and there isn't much left. When I do use eyeshadows, I prefer a neutral, understated look so I figured that this palette would suit me best. I really wanted to get the
Urban Decay Naked Palette but I can't justify spending nearly £40 on eyeshadow when I rarely use it anyway! So I opted for Sleek's more affordable palette.

You can buy Sleek make-up at Superdrug, or online
here, and this Au Naturel palette retails at £6.99. There are 12 shadows included, 8 of which are matte shades, and 4 shimmer. This is great value for money considering you could pay that for just one eyeshadow from another brand. The shadows come in a simple but sophistcated black matte case with the Sleek writing on the lid.

| Shades in Au Naturel palette |
Above, you can see the colours included in this palette. You also get a handy little eyeshadow applicator, and a large mirror on the lid of the palette. The packaging is so pretty, I didn't even want to swatch the shadows because they look so nice as they are! But I did swatch them, just for you guys.

| Swatched |
I've tried to catch the shadows in the best light possible, but I do apologise as it's still quite hard to see, especially the lighter shades. From L-R, the shades are
Nougat (a pale matte cream),
Nubuck (a light grey-brown matte),
Cappuccino (a light matte beige),
Honeycomb (a warm yellow-beige matte),
Toast (a matte light orange-brown),
Taupe (a shimmery light brown/gold),
Conker (a shimmery purple-brown),
Moss (a shimmery green-brown),
Bark (a matte true brown),
Mineral Earth (a shimmery dark brown),
Regal (a dark matte purple-brown) and
Noir (a true black matte).
My favourite shade is definitely Taupe, it's the perfect gold-brown for me. I haven't used these on my eyes yet so I can't comment on their durability, but they are well-pigmented and at £6.99 for 12 eyeshadows, you can't go wrong really!
Have you tried any of the Sleek palettes? What's your favourite shade?
