The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter is priced at $10.00 for 8.2g/0.29 oz of product.
These are considered drugstore makeup in the UK....our equivalent of say Covergirl or L'Oreal. The prices are comparable to our (cheaper) drugstore brands such as Covergirl and L'Oreal which is awesome if you ask me!
Now of course we have to factor in the shipping because these products are not available in the US (as yet...rumors are they are coming to the US very soon) and you will need to pay for international shipping. Honestly I don't think the shipping is outlandish either since they are coming from the UK after all. Now obviously the more products you purchase the better the deal will be since the up to $13.50 shipping cost covers the entire purchase. Plus you can combine your order with friends to break up the shipping costs.
The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter is a low-end (cheaper) version of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks (high-end) and can be compared to Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips (low-end). All three are very similar products with different price points and product sizes. Overall Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter wins on the price/amount battle.

The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter is available in the UK at Superdrug Stores but for beauty lovers in the USA we are only able to order this product from the Sleek MakeUP website. However, there are plans to supply Sleek MakeUP in US Sephora stores very soon so be on the lookout for that!
The case is quite rigid and solid which makes it ideal for travel and the snap clasp holds extremely well to avoid accidental opening of the case. The Sleek MakeUP logo and product name is printed on the front with an additional label on the back with product/ingredients/company details. The outer box has a graphics that resemble the actual product which is a nifty touch. There are NO applicators included.

TEXTURE
The texture of the Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) is smooth and silky without being powdery. It glides onto the skin smoothly with any scratchy feeling which can happen with glittery products...which this is NOT. The powder does feel very creamy when applied to the skin and glides on without much effort. It's also very lightweight and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The powder is refined and smooth without any chunky glitter particles.
FINISH
The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) has a high-shine reflective finish that can be sheered out to give a really beautiful glowy effect. They do not have a chunky frost finish and there are no glitter particles to be found. This is great for those of us, present company included, who do not like the effect of highlighters with pronounced glitter. I also wouldn't describe these as shimmery but rather they have a great shiny sheen. The two lightest shades have the least amount of sheen to them but when combined the overall effect is a shiny glowy finish.
PIGMENTATION
Each shade Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) has sheer-to-decent color payoff and can be built up for greater intensity. This is a good feature if you chose to use these shades as eyeshadows. However, since this meant to be used as a face color (bronzer, blush, highlighter combo) it does not pack a lot of pigmentation is a single swipe. This is a great thing for the intended use of the product. It is not easy to overdo the application of this product and it can easily be sheered out for a glowy effect.
APPLICATION
The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) is great for use as a highlighter since it does have a great sheer color payoff and is not easily overdone. You should still use a light hand with these highlighters to avoid looking super shiny especially if you have oily skin. These products are ideal for drier skin and can overwhelm oily skinned lovelies such as myself.
Always start light with a tap of the product and then build up from there if you feel the need for more product. This product is best used in specific areas of the face for a highlighted glow rather than as an all-over color a la the disco ball effect!
WEAR
The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) wears decently for 7-1/2+ hours before there is any fading in intensity. When used with a face primer/base and liquid foundation, the product has something to grab onto so the wear is certainly prolonged a couple of hours for more more of a full day of wear (10+ hours). On bare skin or over powder the wear still looks fresh after 6+ hours of wear but start to disappear slowly thereafter. This product claims to be long-wearing and wear time will vary based on your skin type - oily skin can't hold on to many face products for too long.
The Sleek MakeUP GLO Face & Body Highlighter (in Bronze Baby) is actually one of my favorite highlighter products for my skintone. In the swatches you will notice how well it actually blends with my skin for a glowy look. The color compliments my golden tan skin very well without being overwhelming. This is a great product and is certainly worth a look if you love highlight products. They are nicely pigmented and last a relatively long time on the skin. Also, they can be used as an eyeshadow, blush, bronzer or highlighter - multi-use is definitely a PLUS! It's priced right and you get a lot of product for the price. I say try at least one of these.
