Sleek Mediterranean Collection + True Color Lipsticks

Here's one of the latest from Sleek cosmetics- Mediterranean Collection + some lipsticks. I ordered them directly from www.sleekmakeup.com. The items which I have ordered were:- (+ int.shipping :$13.50)

Monaco I-Divine palette - USD$10.50
Blush in Santorini - USD$6.50
True Color Lipsticks - USD$6.00 each
(Sheen - Peaches & Cream, Barely There, Fuchsia)
(Matte - Papaya Punch, Mystic)

Overall I pretty happy with my purchases (Except one of the lipsticks were damaged upon receiving it but I contacted Sleek and they will replace me a new one.) I have always like their makeup range especially the eyeshadows and blushes. This is actually my 1st time trying out their lipsticks. There are 2 different types of lipsticks choice- Sheen or Matte. Both types are pigmented but comparing on both, Sheen lipsticks are more moisturising whereas Matte can be very dry and if you have dry lips, they'll emphasize on the dry/ crack lips. Recommend to apply lip balm before applying matte lipsticks.

As for Monaco I-Divine eyeshadows, here is the description:-

Inspired by the Mediterranean, this 12 shade palette is the perfect addition to your summer make-up. Choose from sunset oranges and browns, or breezy turquoise to highlight your holiday tan! Best worn with our hot pink Monte Carlo pout polish and Santorini blush to achieve the perfect Mediterranean summer look.   

Santorini blush:-

A highly pigmented hot pink blush, sweep on to cheekbones lightly for the perfect day time pinky flush, or build for a dramatic evening look. Best worn with our Monaco i-Divine and Monte Carlo Pout Polish to achieve that Mediterranean Summer look.

This time round, I didn't get the pout Polish as I've read several reviews and although it looked vibrant and yummy on the website, the reviews about were - too sheer, not as pigmented as wanted it to be.

So here are the pics and swatches:-
 







Swatches from left:  Peaches & Cream, Barely There (the one which was damaged as you can see), Papaya Punch, Mystic and Fuchsia






Nice and cute sleek packaging. (Please note that the lipsticks only contain 3.5g of product unlike other lipsticks e.g. NYX, others contain 4g of product) 






Monaco I-Divine swatches from top left: Bamboo, Aquamarine, Mignight Garden,
Sunset, Washed Ashore, Magenta Madness.
From bottom left: Summer Breeze, Sand Walker, Kiwi Zest,
Lotus Flower, Humming Bird, Moors Treasure.







As you can see from swatches, this palette has a combination of matte, shimmer and metallic tone. My favourite would be Sunset, Humming bird and Kiwi Zest.
