I got three of the Sleek palettes courtesy of my lovely mum at Christmas and have used them all sporadically since then. So what do I think of them……… is the title giving it away? 
Clockwise from bottom; Original, Jewel, Chaos
In a word, nasty.
They are pretty to look at, packaging is cute for around £4.98, colours look vibrant and fun.
Where it all starts to go wrong is around the application point. All the palettes are different consistencies, the Original is hands down the best in regards to pigmentation and creaminess. The bolds in Chaos are low in pigment, chalky and disappointing. Jewel is a bit of a mix, some are well pigmented, others poor.
Below is the gold and bronze from the original palette. It has been applied over UDPP, and this is what it looks like after approximately seven hours…..
Apart from the fact that there is barely any of the shadow left on my lid because it flakes so badly, the main problem is that when this shadow gets in your eye, it doesn’t half hurt!
I can wear basically any eye shadow, premium or drugstore, my eyes are not sensitive, but this shadow does not agree with me at all. The first few times it irritated me I thought maybe I had an eyelash annoying me, now after numerous applications I am 100% positive that it is the Sleek shadows.
They weren’t expensive but they have been getting rave reviews, so I kinda feel a bit mislead but I think it just once again proves that in regards to make-up what suits one person won’t necessarily agree with someone else.

Awh,
Its a shame you didn't like them, I have the original and Storm and I am impressed so far. With UDPP they last well into the day and night for me, I even wore a smoky eye using them for new years eye and it stayed put. Still, like you say, products work differently for everyone!

So true, I think it all depends on the individual palette too, I've read a lot of other reviews with peeps saying no two palettes are the same consistency…
That's such a shame! I have the Storm palette and although it isn't amazing (can't really expect much considering the price) I can't really complain! I applied a grey and navy combination at 5.30 this morning and at 12.45pm it's still going strong!
I'm really glad they work for you
The storm palette colours do look lovely but I guess the formulation just isn't for me x
