Limited Edition Sleek i-Divine RIO RIO Palette Review

Hello All!

So today I have a review of the latest Sleek palette- the Limited Edition Rio Rio Palette, exclusive to Superdrug at £7.99.

You may remember that I LOVED the last Limited Edition Palette (the Del Mar one) and I've used it loads. I like this one as well, although I'm not such a huge fan of these colours.

Here they are swatched:

They have names that are hard to pronounce!

Top row- Tropics, Night Fever, Ipanema, Caipirahna, Urca, Leblon

Bottom row- Cachaca, City of Gold, Copacabana, Sao Conrado, Bossa Nova and Leme 

There's some interesting colour possibilities here and a good mixture of matte and shimmery shadows. Enjoy!

You can buy at Superdrug or on their website.

Sleek i-Divine Del Mar Volume I Limited Edition Palette- I'm in Love!

I received this palette yesterday and I am soooo impressed with it! I love the shadows- they are super pigmented and the shades are gorgeous- perfect for summer.

It came in this cool box!

As always, the Sleek packaging is robust and looks really nice and the palette contains a mirror.

As I said, the shades are great and really unusual. They go so beautifully together. I applied them with the Mac 237 brush and I was really impressed with the pigmentation, the way they applied and the blendability!

The shades have names and the palette comes with a transparent bit of plastic with the names on it.

I can't emphasise how much I love the colours- really intense but not too crazy, if you know what I mean? I hope there is a volume 2... I will definitely be buying it!

You can buy the palette here: Superdrug link!

Sleek i-Divine Acid Palette versus Makeup Revolution Acid Brights Palette!

Hi all

So you may have seen my post a few days ago about the Makeup Revolution Acid Brights Palette. The shades are good, but the pigmentation less so. I heard it is a dupe of the Sleek i-Divine Acid Palette and I thought I'd compare the two!

Makeup Revolution's version is only £4. The packaging looks nice, but has no mirror and is a bit flimsy. I like the long, thin shadows though- they look cool!

The shadows are quite powdery and the matte ones are not very pigmented at all. this is a general problem with mattes, but particularly in this palette! You could use the shadows wet and using a white base will help too.

The Sleek palette feel very sturdy and has a mirror, plus traditional round pans of shadow.

Overall, it is a little smaller than the Makeup Revolution version...

The shadows have a nicer formula and feel smoother and less powdery. they apply better and have better pigmentation, in my opinion.

Here are swatches side by side. The row on the right is Makeup Revolution. You can see that some shades are definitely bolder in the Sleek row of colours! 

Colour wise they are very similar, although the second darkest shade is a shiny dark grey in the Sleek palette and more of a silver in the Makeup Revolution offering. The shimmery light blue has more depth in the Sleek shade, too.

Overall, I would say that it's worth forking out the extra money for the Sleek palette for the better formulation and pigment!

What do you think? Do you have either palette? Or both?
