Review: Sleek i-Divine Palettes in Vintage Romance & Oh So Special

Heyy guys!
So, this is short review on 2 new Sleek Palettes I got recently and 2 Sleek Blushes!
My only other Sleek eyeshadow experience I had was years ago when I bought the Sleek Acid palette!
While its a really cool palette I don't find myself picking it up a lot ha

However, I saw these palettes a lot on Youtube and people I know have them, so I was really intrigued!  

The first one I got was the Vintage Romance palette.
I saw a couple of looks a girl I worked with done using this and I just thought they were soo pretty I had to try them out for myself!
From top left to right: Pretty in Paris, Meet in Madrid, Court in Cannes, Lust in LA, Romance in Rome, Propose in Prague
From bottom left to right: Vow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo, Honeymoon in Hollywood, Bliss in Barcelona, Forever in Florence, Love in London

The second one I got is the Oh So Special palette!
I first saw this used on Youtube by Emma Pickles (who is just amazingly talented btw!) and I just thought it was soooo pretty and looked like a really soft girly palette!
From top left to right:  Bow, Organza, Ribbon, Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate
From bottom left to right: Pamper, Gateau, The Mail, Boxed, Wrapped Up, Noir
Okay  FIRST off, all these swatches were done on BARE SKIN WITH NO PRIMER! Look at that colour pay-off!! These palettes only cost 10euro! That is crazy good! I genuinely think these palettes are better quality than the Naked 3 and that cost me 44euro!

Another thing I noticed right off the bat was the shadows feel really smooth and soft when you touch them! They apply so smooth and they blend really nicely too!
I haven't had any chance to do any proper looks with these yet, but I am DYING to get creative with them!

As for packaging, the palettes are nice and sturdy plastic material! Their really thin so they don't take up a whole lot of space! Nice sleek (haha Sleek get it? :P) black finish!  Really like the design overall :)


Time for the verdict!

HOW MUCH WOULD I LUST AFTER THIS PRODUCT?
4/5 !! 
These palettes are FANTASTIC! The only reason they lost a point, on the eyes they do need a good base just for longevity. But nothing major, SPECIALLY since their only 10euro!
So everyone, I hope you enjoyed this review & definitely expect to see these bad boys in the future!

Talk to you all soon!
