I recieved this as a lovely gift, and I am so greatful because I love it!
The packing is "sleek" and well presented. The pallete is easy to open and close, however I often have grubby makeup hands and find that I dirty the packaging very very easily which is a bit of a turn off.
For the price I was very impressed with the pigmentation of the colours and how they blended so nicely to create many everyday and nightime looks. The pallete I own is called "oh so special" it contains 12 shades, about half matte and half shimmery. Which is nice as you can definitely mix it up without too much glitter distraction which I am not a fan of! The shades are quite purplely/ rosey / pink colours with a couple deep blue and & black colours which is nice as I find it gives variety and depth to the makeup looks. The shades are quite unique and different to what I usually would go for, so that's a positive as I find I'm able to leave my comfort zone more comfortably!
I'm definitely keeping my eye on sleek ppalettes as I've heard I haven't tried the best yet!
I LOVE this palette, even more than any of the Naked ones! I was lucky enough to buy this on a recent trip to England, I tossed up between this and the Too Faced eye shadow palettes, and I am glad I picked this one. Value for money is a 11/10, for around $7 pounds, it didn't even come close to the Too Faced (or any other eye shadow palettes for that matter).
The pigments are amazing. The colours are mainly all matte which I love, and a couple of shimmery shades, which are very wearable and not full of glitter. They can be a little hard to apply, I found that a tapping motion works best. The shadows do not crease at all on me, which makes a change (even the Naked ones seem to).
All in all I would give this palette a 9/10. It is such great value for money. I will definitely be buying the whole range...
