Sleek Bad Girl Palette Swatches!

Hey! :)

So the Sleek Swatch-a-thon continues today with the Bad Girl palette. Straight off the bat...If you <3 Purple    this is a palette you need in your collection ;)
It is also a great palette for creating a nice smokey look too!
Sleek also has a Good Girl palette too, so stay tuned for that tomorrow :D

Here is what the outer packaging looks like:


I love the cool necklace design, its pretty bad ass! Haha :)

And here is what all the pretties inside look like:

Most of the colours are swatched over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, except for the darkest shades on the first row, which were swatched over Black Bean which is another NYX pencil.

Here is the first row Without Flash:

And With Flash :)

Innocence is a pretty frosty white shade with lots of multicoloured shimmer.
Gullible is a really nice light champagne colour with the shame shimmer as Innocence.
Blade is a cool toned, medium silver shade with lots of shimmer, and when rubbed out has a very slight tinge of purple to it.
Gun Metal is a classic dark smokey shimmery silver shade.
Underground is a very deep Gray, pretty much black smokey shade with shimmer.
Noir is one of only two matte shades in the palette, and is just a classic matte black. This shade has been in a few Sleek palettes, but you can never go wrong with a nice pigmented black like this one so I don't mind so much.

There is a definite pattern with a lot of these shades, apart from Noir, they all have a lot of multicoloured shimmer to them, which could be a problem if your not a fan of shimmery shadows. If however you are I don't recommend this palette as there is only one other matte shade.

Below is row two Without Flash:

And With Flash:

Intoxicated is a deep satin finish forest green.
Followed by Envy which is a very dark blackened green, perfect if you love a green smokey eye!
Obnoxious is a deep royal blue base with a gorgeous deep purple sheen to it.
Abyss has a similar but less darkened blue base like Obnoxious with a less obvious purple tint to it.
Twilight is an insanely pretty blackened plum base with a dark purple sheen to it in the light.
Finally Rebel is a deep blackcurrant/aubergine, I really love these sorts of shades, specially to add a bit of smokey colour to a neutral look in the crease. this is the only other matte in the palette though which is a bit disappointing.

I would have loved there to have been a really deep matte forest green shade as they are hard to come by but other than that I really like this palette overall. Its my go to for the darker colours for a coloured smokey eye :). I was glad that the multicoloured shimmer pattern in the first row didn't continue throughout the second row too.

The Bad Girl palette can still be found on Sleek's website http://www.sleekmakeup.com/en/shop/searchresults.aspx?fdPageReset=true
So if you wanna get your hands on this one for an awesome price at £6.99 I'd snap it up, especially if you love all shades of purple and also smokey eyes! :)

Hope you enjoyed this post Lovelies!
