Sleek Jewel Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

Here is the next lot of swatches of the 'Jewel' Palette (check out the previous post for another lot of swatches from another of Sleek's palettes here http://cupcakekittencosmeticjournal.blogspot.com/2010/11/sleeks-original-eyeshadow-palette.html). This was the second one of these I ever bought. Looking on the site I'm not sure if this one is available any more unless you can find it at the Sleek counter/display in Superdrug, its not listed on the site and I had a look on Ebay and couldn't find one on there either. I'll put the swatches up anyway incase you wanna see the colours for if you want to try and track one of these down. Here we go :)

So here is the palette itself (the double ended sponge applicator is missing from this one as I misplaced it):


Again the swatches go from left to right, instead of right to left as they are in the palette:


 The first shade in the top row is a gorgeous Coppery Red colour <3
Then there is a an almost Maroon Brown toned colour. Gorgeoussss .
Then there is a lovely Forest Green.
Followed by a Blackened Olive/Antique Gold shade.
A beautiful sparkly Gold with a slightly Orange sheen in certain lighting.
And a very Dark Grey/Black with just a tiny hint of shimmer.

The last colour for me wasn't as great as the other shadows, it takes a lot of product to try and get an even coating and doesn't blend as well as the other shadows, but if you want a softer look than pure black this one would work with a few good layers of product for a more subtle look :) 

Here's what they look like with the flash on:


Onto row 2 :D


The first shade is a blue toned Silver, very pretty colour.
Next is a true Light Gold.
Followed by a gorgeous Dark shimmery Blue.
Then there is a pale Minty Green.
The next shadow is a Dark Bronze with a slightly red tone to it.
And lastly is a Golden Tan shade.

Again these eyeshadows are really pigmented, apart from the Minty Green in this row and the Dark Grey in the first row, these you have to apply a good amount of product to stop them being quite so sheer unless thats the look you want :) But otherwise I really do adore these palettes. Below is the picture of what these shadows look like with the flash on:


Like I said at the start of this post, I'm not sure if you can still get this palette any more, but hopefully you will have better look tracking one down than I did!

Stay tuned for the Sleek Sunset Palette next!
