Officially this collection isn't released until the 6th of July but Superdrug seem to have leaked it a little sooner so it's well worth checking your local store just in case. Like most of the Sleek collections this again is Limited Edition and composes of a twelve pan eyeshadow palette, a blush and pout polish.
Lately I haven't been feeling the pigment of the Sleek eyeshadows most of the matte shades seem to be lacking that punch that they were renown for but I can say with a giant happy face that The Curacao Palette has stepped up its game.
Each shade (well the black aside its a tad chalky) is buttery smooth and has so much pigmented that one swipe is all that is needed to get a wonderful dose of colour. Now I get this palette won't be most girls everyday palette but it is perfect for injecting a little colour into your look. I especially love the greens along my lower eyelashes. I can happily recommend this palette and say that it has restored my faith in Sleek eyeshadows haha!
Now the pout polish is a different story! Doesn't it look fabulous in the pot? All sexy and neon orange (can you tell I love the shade orange? Sadly Bonaire Lip Polish swatches to what can only be described as a yellowy orange shade that is lack luster and uber unflattering on my lips.
I have quite pale almost brown lips so maybe it would look wonderful on those blessed with cherry red lips? I have found a use for it though, it works rather well over MAC Morange Lipstick and any other bright orange lip. That being said its not a stand out piece and I think most after swatching this will pass it up! I will quickly point out it has an Spf 15 and smells like baby powder.
The last piece of the collection is the super bright orange Aruba blush. Aruba is a bright matte orange blush, it is strongly pigmented and is in no way chalky. Yes in the pan Aruba is shocking in fact its quite scary looking but if applied with a light hand its really flattering and works wonders with blue eyes.
I will say this is best suited for medium to dark toned girls due to the intensity of the colour. Like the palette I highly recommend it and for me it is the stand out piece but I would say that being a blush fan and all!
Sleek is available in the U.K from Superdrug and worldwide it is available to buy directly from Sleeks website.
Will you be picking anything from this collection up?
I most definately want to pick this shadow up! :)

You're just adding things to my Sleek Buy List for when I have the cash saved up for all the things I want to order (in one sweep, to save on the international shipping cost.) I adore the palette and the blush but agree with you on the pout polish. The search for the perfect orange but non-morange lip goes on!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colours! I especially love the colour of the pout polish :)

the cream blush is to dye for
ReplyDeleteI need Sleek in my life. That palette and the blush are making me want it so bad! Ahhh! *pulls hair out and screams like a madwoman*
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of the blush. Nice swatches
ReplyDeleteI will surely get the Curaçao palette and may be Aruba blush. But if Superdrug already leaked out before the launch date, then will there be any palettes left on the official launch date??? I am busy with work now to go into town where the Superdrug is. :(
ReplyDeleteWith eyeshadows that share the name of cocktails, IM SOLD! :p Haha they are really bright, I have the med pallette and i still dont even know how to pull that one off :( gorgeous colours though xx
