Sleek i-Divine Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette - Review, Swatches, and Makeup Looks

I've been extremely lazy with blogging AND putting on makeup lately. Plus with the warm and sometime hot weather, I really prefer to wear as little makeup as possible because I sweat really easily and it always feels like my face is going to fall off. This is interfering with my reviews. Heat makes me crabby. Other than that, lately I also feel a lack of excitement with the beauty world. Like I need to slow down and take a break from time to time to just relax or find another fun way to pass the time. Anyhow, sorry for being a pooper. It's Monday and I had a long day...let's move on to the review.


Packaging

• The palette was much smaller than I expected. The eyeshadow pans are about the size of a nickel. 
• The packaging is made out of black matte plastic with a large mirror and double-ended sponge tip applicator included. It does get a bit dirty as you handle it because it attracts finger prints, other than that I do like the sleek and compact packaging. 
• There is 12 eyeshadow pans with different colors. Each pan is 1.1 g or .03 oz. Inside the palette is a sheet of clear plastic with the name of the eyeshadows labeled on it. I do like that each eyeshadow has a name.

Product

Top row from left to right:

• Bow - satin matte off white. Soft texture, pigmentation is average. It kind of blend right in on my skin. 
• Organza - frosty warm pink. Creamy texture and good pigmentation. 
• Ribbon - matte salmon/coral. Soft texture and excellent pigmentation
• Gift Basket - very shimmery medium bronze. Creamy texture and very good pigmentation.
• Glitz - very shimmery metallic gunmetal grey with blue undertone. Creamy texture and very good pigmentation.
• Celebrate - dark shimmery eggplant with pink shimmers. Love this color! Creamy texture and very good pigmentation.

Bottom row from left to right:

• Pamper - light matte warm pink. Soft texture and good pigmentation.
• Gateau - very frosty shimmery light cool pink with gold shimmers. 
• The Mail - matte medium warm beige. Slightly dry texture, poor pigmentation. 
• Boxed - matte medium brown. Slightly dry texture, ok pigmentation. 
• Wrapped Up - matte medium brown with a purple undertone. Slightly dry texture, ok pigmentation.
• Noir - matte black. Slightly dry texture but excellent pigmentation. I was quite surprised at how black and pigmented this eyeshadow turned out. 

Final Thought


This palette is great for day to night looks and if you want colors that are soft and feminine, you'd like this. Most of the colors have good pigmentation, though a couple of the lighter shades really don't do anything for me. I like how they included 3 dark shades to give depth and dimension for a sexy smoky look if I wanted to go there. The colors also work great together. Overall, I like. Still wish for better color pay off on some of the matte shades.
