Sleek's The Original Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

 Right off the bat I can tell you I LOVE these palettes!! I own four of them already & wanna get all of the other 5 I don't own as well at some point. I thought I'd start with the first one I ever purchased called 'The Original', the shadows in these palettes are gorgeously pigmented and have a really smooth texture to them which makes them really easy to blend. They are really good value too, you get 12 shades for just £5.99, and I recommend not letting your cat knocking this palette from a great height off a table like I did, I had to repair the light gold and purple colours in mine because of doing just that! Whoops haha. All the shades in this palette are shimmery shades apart from the black which is a matte shadow.

Here's a picture of the inside of the palette showing the colours you get and what is inside. You get a double ended foam applicator inside and a veryyy good sized mirror, as well as the pretty shadows.


The swatches show the shades from the palette going from right to left (instead of from left to right in the above picture) as I forgot to flip the images when I was resizing them to correspond to how they are arranged in the palette

Here are the shades from the top row:


The first shade is a lovely Mid-toned Green colour, such a lovely colour :)
Then there is a gorgeous Teal colour, one of my favourites from this palette.
Next is a gorgeous Light Blue.
Followed by a blackened Navy Blue, love this one <3
Then a gorgeous Light Purple
And finally the matte Black

Below shows the swatches with a flash to show the shimmer in these shadows off :)


Onto the bottom row:


This is the more everyday/neutral row, such pretty colours I love the pale pinky colours in this row as they are the neutral colours I tend to reach for when I want a more natural look but still with that shimmery sheen that I love!


The first shade is an Olive Green which rubs out to have a lot of golden shimmer to it.
Then there is a browned Gold shade.
Followed by a Copper Toned colour which is awesomeee
Next is a Peachy Gold
And my favourite neutral, a Golden Pink colour 
And lastly a Pale Gold colour (the one I had to save! lol)

Now if your not a fan of shimmery shadows then these palettes aren't for you as most of the shades in the 4 I own are pretty much all shimmery, the only one of mine with more matte colours in is the Acid palette that has the neon shades in which I'll be uploading pictures of in a little while, but for those of you that love shimmer these are a must have!

You can by these palettes from the Sleek Makeup stand in most Superdrug stores if you live in the UK, or from the Sleek website ( http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/categories/eye-shadow-17.aspx?fdGotoPage_Products17=2 ) as they ship Internationally, although if you can't find the one you want you can always look on Ebay, I'll post a link to the search for each palette in each of the posts :)) Here's the link for this palette:

Stay Tuned for the next 3 :)
