Becky/Sirvinya bought this for me and sent it over as part of our semiregular makeup exchange. I was looking forward to this as soon as it was announced, but overall I think it’s one of Sleek’s lesser offerings…at least among its i-Divine palettes. It’s not necessarily horrid, but I’ve definitely been happier with some of the other i-Divine palettes that Sleek’s put forth.

This palette was a bit of a surprise. Usually, as a rule, Sleek’s shimmers have had better color payoff than the mattes. This time around, of the five shimmers, three have pathetically sad color payoffs and another is iffy, while the color with the best pigmentation is one of the mattes. The color shades themselves are decent, but they don’t appear to form much of a strong “themed” palette unless you count colors that can be named for singers and bands. (The Storm palette was fairly distinctive, and all of the colors went together. Same for Bad Girl, Chaos, Oh So Special, even Bohemian. These…not so much.)
