(REVIEW) Sleek i-Divine Oh So Special Palette

So, talking about eyeshadow.

Not everyone wears eyeshadow everyday, but I do... well, almost everyday. To me, having one eyeshadow palette in versatile colors is a must. I could carry that one palette to work or even for a business trip. All I'm saying is, sometimes you only need one palette to cover your eye area. Sleek i-Divine Oh So Special Palette is my holy grail eyeshadow palette.

It has amazing 12 colors and they are very pigmented, which I love. The colors are wearable for both day and night look, so it's perfect for work, weekends, formal events and any other occasion.



For a neutral-everyday-look, I use Gateau on my lid, Gift Basket as a transition color on my crease, and Boxed on the outer-v -and they look fantastic! Definitely not too much for a smart office look, and still okay for a casual coffee time with friends. The shimmer on Gateau really makes my eyes popped and Boxed does a good job at emphasizing my eyes.

However, this palette tends to be too powdery. A lot of fallouts, so don't forget to gently tap your brush to remove excess powder.

This palette also has a mirror in it, which is great. There's an applicator for the eyeshadow but I find it rubbish. Stick to your blending brush, girls. You'll need it a lot.

Last but not least, I believe that eyeshadow base plays an important role in here. You will need an eyeshadow base to make the colors last longer. 

So, the conclusion is:

+ Beautiful colors in matte and shimmer
+ Versatile for many occasions
+ Quite inexpensive, I got it online for about Rp 165.000 (shipping fee is not included)
+ Can be carried every time you need it

- Fallout
- Some colors are not very pigmented, so it needs a little push from eyeshadow base
- Not available in Indonesia

Let me know what you think!
