Sleek I Divine Ultra Mattes V1 Brights Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 Brights Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches & Eyemakeup
Hello Lovelies,
With brands launching new lip products one after the other, my palettes have been feeling very lonely 🙁 So, I decided to take out my bright and colorful palettes since summers are here! Sleek has been one brand that has never let me down particularly with their eyeshadow palettes! They are great value for money and I already own about 6-7. Today, I’m going to review Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 Brights Palette!
Product Description
Ultra Matte Brights are intensely creamy and super blend-able. Due to the intense colour, a little goes a long way. With cobalt blue and canary yellow neon shades these are ideal for creating strong vivid eye looks. Use as a liner along your top or bottom lash line for edgy colourful eyes.
Price: $ 11.99
Can be bought online at Sleek Makeup
Packaging
All Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes come in a classy black palette with Sleek embossed on it. The palette was packaged in a colorful cardboard box and I love storing all my Sleek Palettes in these boxes as they are so pretty. The palette contains a huge mirror inside along with a double ended sponge applicator. The mirror is great for application though I hate the applicator and find it useless.
Texture
Being matte eyeshadows, I wasn’t having high hopes from the palette though most of the Sleek palettes have a soft and satin-y texture. The eyeshadows are quite soft and easily blendable but some are just too chalky and create such a mess! It does lead to fallout and its always best to use matte eyeshadows with a proper eye makeup base.
Pigmentation
The pigmentation is pretty decent for matte eye shadows but it shows up much better with an eyeshadow base. Some of the shades though lack in pigmentation and fail to show up no matter how many times you swipe it for eg floss and sugarlite.
Staying Power
The eyeshadows stay put for a good 5 hours with a base underneath. I believe the Sleek Ultra Matte Brights Palette has a decent staying power which does not crease or fade that easily. With a good primer underneath it lasts even longer.
Shades
The Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 Bright Palette contains a great variety of bright shades ranging from pinks to yellow and purple. Most shades aren’t that wearable and are better suited for those love doing bright eye makeup.
Chill: A pale sky blue eyeshadow which shows up much better with a base
Pout: A bright fuchsia pink
Sugarlite: A deep purple eyeshadow which does not show up that well despite being a dark color.
Dragon Fly: A bright mid toned green which is quite pigmented
Pucker: A bright pink which is quite similar to Pout
Bamm! : A matte yellow eyeshadow. I love working with this shade for some bright looks!

Worth the money?
Overall, I think Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 Bright Palette is a great value for money though I wouldn’t call it a must have unless you love bright and matte eyeshadows. I like Original, Bad Girl & Snapshots much more but yes if you like the shades in this palette then I think its a great purchase for you

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 Brights Palette contains a good mix of bright and vibrant colors. The texture of the eyshadows is soft, well pigmented and has a decent staying power though a few shades did let me down. It is certainly not apt for daily use and I recommend it for those who love bright eye makeup
