Sleek Makeup Palette Review (Storm and Sunset)

I've had these palettes for a while. I've used them quite a few times. I've even used the Storm palette on some bridesmaids I did makeup on. The storm palette consists of neutrals, and the sunset palette has more colors. On to the review. All pictures in this post can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Each palette looks like this on the outside.

This is the back of the palette. I'm starting with the Storm palette as you can see. Here is the inside/colors of the palette:

This palette is definitely more neutral than the Sunset palette is. I have used this palette the most. However, I haven't used this one a lot on myself. Some of the shadows are inconsistent/chalky. I do not like the black in this palette at all. You will be able to see from the swatches that the black is not opaque and is kind of chalky. NOTE: One swatch is missing because I could not get it to show up on my arm.

This is the top row. There are two swatches for each color. The one on the left is without a primer, and the one on the right is over MAC painterly paint pot. As you can see, the colors are mostly shimmer. The black is matte and the light brown is matte. The light brown color shows up better over a primer versus on its own.

This is the bottom row. You can see from the picture that the black hardly has any color at all. This surprises me considering how opaque the black is in the Sunset palette. The other colors are pretty consistent and show up the same on their own or with primer.

My Thoughts (Storm Palette):
I do like this palette although the black is weak. This is a great palette neutrals with some darker colors, i.e. blue and green, to give it a little kick. The only disappointment I have in this palette is the black. Would I buy this again? Yes. I do not believe that the weakness of the black should be the deciding factor. The eyeshadows themselves are very silky and some except for the mattes. The mattes aren't as silky.

Next up is the Sunset palette as shown.

I am definitely more drawn to this palette because of the gorgeous colors in it. You would be amazed to see what these colors do for blue eyes. Here are the swatches:

This is the top row of colors. Every color in this palette is opaque, even the lighter colors. You can see how much more opaque the black is in this palette than the Storm palette.

This is the bottom row. Once again, these are swatched with no primer on the left and MAC painterly paint pot on the right. The only matte in this palette is the black.

My Thoughts (Sunset Palette):
This is my favorite palette of the two. Which I'm sure I've already said. This palette is perfect for blue and green eyes, but it would be gorgeous on everyone. The shadows are more consistent in this palette. Would I buy this again? Most definitely. I believe that this is one palette (considering I only have these two) that is worth investing money in. If you have a chance to get this one, do it! I know you won't regret it.

Here is a look I did using the Sunset palette: I do not have any close-ups of the eyes, though.

I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
