Sleek Sparkle i-Divine Palette

The Sparkle i-Divine Palette is the latest eyeshadow palette released by Sleek. I think Sparkle was limited edition as it is no longer available on the Sleek website, although you can probably find it on Ebay. There is a plastic sheet printed with the names of the eyeshadows. The top row (from left to right) is Cranberry, Dream Maker, Galactic, Twinkle, Star Light and Noir. The bottom row has Illusion, Festive, Mistletoe, Glitz & Glamour, Gold Ribbon and Tinsel.

The Sparkle palette features quite a varied selection of intensely pigmented shades, all sprinkled through with micro sparkles. The sparkles are visible in the pan but when applied, they don't really show up. Most shades have a semi-matte finish, and not a shiny metallic finish. I found the eyeshadows to be a bit too intense actually, especially when applied with the included sponge applicator. So it's best to use a very light hand with these and to have a good blending brush ready at hand.

For this look, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance as the primer, Festive on the inner half of the lid, Twinkle on the outer half, Star Light in the crease, and Tinsel over the browbone area, the inner corners and along the lower lashline.


For the second look, I used MAC Dangerous Cuvée Paint Pot as the base, Mistletoe at the inner half of the lid, Galactic at the outer half, Gold Ribbon at the inner half of the crease, Dream Maker at the outer half of the crease, and Tinsel over the browbone area, inner corners and along the lower lashline.

Some of the shades like Galactic tend to have quite a bit of fallout during the application process, so do try to tap off the excess from your brush or sponge applicator before applying.

The eyeshadows feel a tad soft and crumbly. Other more expensive brands may not be as pigmented as Sleek's eyeshadows but they tend to have a much more refined texture with a more elegant illuminance than Sleek.
