Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes | My New Bargain Heroes

I've ooo'ed and ahh'ed over many a Sleek eye shadow palette in my time but for some reason never bought one. I've read a ton of good stuff about them and they look amazing.

I'm a girl who loves a bargain and these palettes really hit the spot at only £7.99 for 12 colours so I eventually decided to give in and purchase two to see if they live up to all the hype I've heard.  The palettes I chose were the Sunset Palette and the Ultra Mattes V2 Darks Palette.

Sunset Palette

I'm in love with this palette.  I've only had a little play around with it so far but I adore the reds.  There's great pigmentation in all the colours and I find they blend beautifully. Check out those swatches - aren't they amazing? All the colours have a beautiful shimmer and I can definitely see myself using all of them. 

Ultra Matte V2 Darks Palette

I wasn't sure how much of a fan of matte eyeshadow I was... I've always tended to stick to shimmery shadows. With that in mind I thought I'd try out the ultra mattes dark palette in a bid to try new things and become more adventurous with my make-up. Oh my goodness, I've been missing out! These colours are so intense and pigmented. I think the range of colours for this time of year in particular are really fantastic. There's a great mix of lights and darks and I can't wait to play around with these more.

My first impression of these Sleek eyeshadow palettes is nothing but positive.  I wore them yesterday and they definaetly seem to have great staying power - I applied my makeup at about 10am and they were still going strong way into the evening. I think they may have just become my new bargain heroes. How many other palettes do they do?... I think I need them all.

Have you got the Sleek palettes? 

What do you think of them?

Any recommendations as to which one I should get next? I see Superdrug have a new Limited Edition Birthday Palette to celebrate their 50th birthday.  Hmmm I might just have to get that one...
