Sleek i-Divine Del Mar Palette Review

 

Lounge Lovers/Poolside/Sunset Strip/Ambience/Chilled Out/Blue Marlin

Opening Party/On The Rocks/Talamanca/Feel Euphoric/Balaric Beat/Paradise

You no that feeling when you get a new piece of makeup that you love so much, your just so excited to talk about or if your also a blogger blog about, because you adore everything about it? Well thats how i feel about this palette!
The new Sleek i-Divine palette is a limited edition collection of new colours with an Ibiza theme. Everything from the packaging down to the individual eyeshadow names has an Ibiza vibe.
The palette consists of twelve of the most perfect pastels, corals and aqua shades that just scream Spring/Summer. At first glance the colours may seem a bit bold and scary but in fact their quite subtle extremely wearable shades. You don't have to wear purple, orange and green all together if thats a bit much for you the great thing is you can mix them with some of the neutral shades for a more toned down look.
In fact on the back of the box there's a few helpful tips included with ideas of ways to wear the colours if they seem a bit daunting and you don't no what to mix with what which i think is a great idea especially if you a makeup beginner.
The shadows are a mixture of matt, metallic and pearl finnish, and i personally love having a bit of variety in a palette.
Lounge Lovers is the only metallic finish, its a gorgeous neutral shade that goes amazingly with all the colours.
Opening Party, On The Rocks, Feel Euphoric and Paradise all have a pearl like sheen to them which is so pretty and gives a bit of dimension.
All of the rest of the colours, Talamanca, Poolside, Sunset Strip, Ambience, Chilled Out, Blue Marlin and Balearic Beat are matt shades, i think its great to have a matt white in a palette and also the matt brown shade Talemanca is a great shade for the crease to add definition.
I don't really think i could pick a favorite colour from the palette there all so unique and amazingly all go so well together, with this palette the colour combinations and different looks you can create are just endless.
This little beauty really is my top pick for Spring/Summer eyes, i no I'll be getting a lot of use out of it and it will definitely be coming with me on my upcoming holiday!

Which colour is your favorite?

Sleek Blush by 3 Palette Californ.i.a

OC/ THE SURF/ NEWPORT BEACH

Hello lovelies i ran a giveaway back in January and the prize was to win one of the lovely Blush by 3 palettes in Califon.i.a or Pink lemonade, and i liked the look of them so much that i wanted to treat myself to one too...as you do. 

Im usually one for pretty pink blushers so Pink Lemonade seemed like the obvious choice, however i decided to go for something different for a change. 

"Blush By 3 is the ultimate blush palette offering three times the impact in one compact. With intense pigment, you can use these complimentary shades individually or blend together for a unique shade"

The Califon.i.a palette consists of three cream blushers in gorgeous warm orange shades, i thought this would be a great palette to have for spring and summer to add a healthy flush of colour to the cheeks. 

OC my favorite of the three is a beautiful coral, with a very fine shimmer to it, i personally love corals i think they just look so flattering and pretty on all skin tones. The Surf is a peachy orange with the prettiest fine gold shimmer which i can imagine looking so fresh and healthy on summer skin. Newport Beach is a darker more terracotta orange which i think will be great with a summer tan. Im not used to wearing orange shades on my cheeks but there all such nice colours and are really not as scary as they look in the palette, they come out quiet light and can be easily built up to the colour you desire. 

The formulation is great very smooth and creamy, and their easily bendable. there is nothing worse than a cream blush that blends badly and leaves you with patchy colour on your cheeks! 

Im glad i decided to to try something different and im looking forward to having a play around with these and layering some colours together, i think the darker shade Newport Beach could look great with The Surf on top and may end up being my favorite summer combo. 

Have you tried a Sleek blush palette? Would you be brave enough to try something different?
