Quick Review: Sleek's Curacao Palette from the Caribbean Collection

I won this palette from a giveaway from the fabulous Robyn. Unfortunately the asshole postal service here decimated my package and this palette was one of two things that made it all the way from England. (When i called to complain they actually said that they would look for my items. Yes, good luck finding a tube of lipstick somewhere in between here and England.)

I love the colors in this palette. I have one other Sleek palette, Paraguaya, and that one is mostly oranges and pinks, so it was nice to have one with some variety. There is also a good mix of mattes and shimmers, although a few of the mattes are a little sheer and one is downright terrible (you'll see).

Top row
All of these applies pretty well. The light blue matte applied the best, but the other two mattes weren't bad.  As I noticed with my first Sleek palette the textures are really soft (almost to their detriment sometimes) and pretty pigmented.

Bottom row
The shimmers all applied beautifully, as did the bright blue matte. The purple was hard and sheer, while the black was well... look at it. Not so good. But I don't care because the rest of the palette is amazing. Thank you so much fabulous, wonderful, gorgeous Robyn for sending it to me!

  4. That's so weird that the black is so crappy, don't they throw a matte black into every palette? You'd think they'd have got it right by now :S anyway I LOVE the look of the bright matte blues in this palette, I don't have anything quite like them!
