Sleek Eye Dust Review

I recently received two of these shades in the Feb Goodiebox, and I was pretty happy with that as Sleek isn't a brand I would go out of my way to purchase, and neither is eye shadow! I have the shades 690 So Sleek and 681 Fantasy.

Fantasy is a gorgeous purple. In the little jar it looks shimmery and metallic. Swatched on my hand just now it is very metallic. It is also very buildable, and looks much better the more you put on as the metallic really gets a chance to shine. In some lights it looks almost grey or brown, but in the right light it is absolutely gorgeous. I really like this color.

So Sleek is a lovely, Barbie pink. In the jar it doesn't seem very shimmery, but it looks like it has purple undertones if you look at the right angle. Swatched on my hand just now it is very pigmented, and you almost don't need to keep adding to it to get the same color in the jar. It is not nearly as metallic as Fantasy but it is still very nice (albeit not my color!). The pink does have some sort of shimmery effect to it, though. It isn't metallic but it is almost glittery.

However. There is no noticeable smell to the purple, but the pink? Good GOD where did they get their ingredients? A rotten fish market?! It smells absolutely foul. My fiance, Captain Must-Touch-Everything, opened it and he almost threw it across the room, commenting on how it smelled like a woman who hadn't washed her lady parts for a while. I don't understand why it smells like this and I'm in half a mind to email both Sleek and Goodiebox to ask why it smells like this.

I used the purple over the weekend, and while it was only a thin coat, it lasted all day and frankly, I looked fabulous. The purple suits my eyes really nicely. So while I would use the purple again, I might not use the pink out of fear that people would be able to smell the eye shadow and think it was coming from me!!
