Price 
The Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes retail for $10 on http://www.sleekmakeup.com/ with an additional $13.50 for international shipping to the US. I factored in the shipping because these palettes are not available in the US and in most cases you will need to pay international shipping fees as well. Honestly I don't think the shipping is outlandish either since they are coming from the UK afterall. Now obviously the more products you purchase the better the deal will be since the $13.50 shipping cost covers the entire purchase.

On their own, $10 per palette is quite a deal. You get 12 eyeshadows that contain 1.1g of product each for a grand total of 13.2g of product. Compare these to M∙A∙C Eyeshadows which are $14.50 for 1.5g of product. Even with shipping these amount to less than $2 per eyeshadow. Quite a steal. 

These are considered drugstore makeup in the UK....our equivalent of say NYX or Wet 'n' Wild. They are priced closer to NYX palettes rather than Wet 'n' Wild (no one beats WnW prices).

Packaging
These eyeshadows come housed in a sleek (quite fitting) black palette with a full-sized mirror inside the lid. The eyeshadows are a bit smaller than a M∙A∙C Eyeshadow and are embossed with a waffle design. They also come with a double ended sponge applicator which is recommended for 'best results'. 

The palette sports the sleek makeup logo on the front and a label on the back indicating the name of the palette, the ingredients and all that jazz. The eyeshadows do not have individual names which can be a bit tedious in our beauty world of swatches and looks.

Product & Performance

This palette is a nice assortment of colors and finishes with 3 neutral mattes and 9 pigmented frosts. These eyeshadows are all silky smooth and swatch beautifully. The top row features highlighter colors that are similar to rest of the palettes with beautiful hues of gold and pink. The bottom row blew me away with highly pigmented silvers, purple, bronze, deep brown and black. These colors are smooth and creamy without the bothersome fallout of the other palettes. All the colors apply well and last hours over a good primer/base.

Overall
This is overall the best palette of the bunch and one of my faves. There is a great assortment of colors and finishes. The colors are pigmented and wonderfully smooth. There are duplicate colors here from the Original Palette but the execution is much better in the Storm Palette. Skip the Original and go with the Storm Palette.

Product & Performance

All but one of the shades are frosts, high frosts at that, with one lonely matte black shade. While the eyeshadows swatch nicely I must note that they have potential for fallout. They are not completely silky smooth but rather have a chunky feel to them that remind me of the M∙A∙C Lustre finish...particularly the entire bottom row. The black, purple and deep slate colors swatch beautifully and are blissfully smooth. The lighter blue shades swatch nicely but almost identical and the green swatched sheerly.

As said before the bottom row has spotty shades that swatch and apply with a slight chunky finish. The two pinks again look almost identical to each other. However, the shades are workable with a good primer/base and can make great highlight colors.

Overall

I am on the fence with this one. The first 3 eyeshadows in the top row are nicely pigmented and gorgeous. They are also smooth to the touch and glide on with ease. However, the other colors have spotty colors and the two light pink colors look almost identical to each other. I am not impressed enough by 3 colors to splurge for the entire palette but some may like the other sheer colors based on their personal preference.

PICTURES & SWATCHES

 Top Row: The black, purple and slate grey are beautiful and the two blues look identical but also swatch nicely. The green is very sheer.

 Bottom Row: The first 3 shades would make nice highlighters and the next 3 are sheer and neutral.

Product & Performance

The Chaos i-Divine Palette is a matte eyeshadow palette and comes with reds, pinks, neutrals and blues/teal/green. All these eyeshadows are matte in finish and have poor pigmentation. They are also chalky and powdery. You will need to really pack on the eyeshadow to get a decent color payoff. They also fade within a hour or two of wear even with a primer.

Overall
This palette was the one I was looking forward to because I LOVE mattes. However, I was seriously disappointed with the spotty color payoff. I say stay away from this one altogether. No bueno!

PICTURES & SWATCHES

 Top Row: The white didn't even swatch at all! Everything else is after packing on the color with all my might!

  Bottom Row: The yellow again didn't even swatch at all! Everything else is after packing on the color with all my might! The black was the only savior here.

Product & Performance

The Sunset i-Divine Palette is a sunset/tropical themed palette and comes with reds, pinks, yellow, orange and even a turquoise blue. All but one of the shades are frosts, high frosts at that, with one lonely matte black shade. While the eyeshadows swatch nicely I must note that they have potential for fallout. They are not completely silky smooth but rather have a chunky feel to them that remind me of the M∙A∙C Lustre finish...particularly the 3 lightest shades in the top row and the yellow in the bottom row. However, the other 8 shades save the day with their beautiful color payoff and great pigmentation.

These are nice eyeshadows for the price and hold up pretty well over a good eyeshadow base/primer. They are all (but one) frosty shades but not metallic so they do accentuate lines and creases. They also blend nicely on the skin but beware the fallout. They are nice to work with and there are many color combinations that can be created from the array of colors.

Overall
This is my favorite of the 4 palettes I picked up (reviews and swatches for those coming up). Although I am frost-shy, the vividness of these shades may me sway a bit to the shimmery side. I think the Sunset i-Divine Palette would be a great option for those of us that love sunset colors (reds, yellows, pinks). The price is also a great plus (even with shipping). But do not expect a superb texture since some of these eyeshadows can get finicky.

PICTURES & SWATCHES

 

 

 The last 3 shades are spotty. Even the last 2 look almost identical in color. The 2nd shade is also almost identical to the 2nd shade in the bottom row.

The last five are my faves with the orange shade taking my breath away! The 2nd shade is almost identical to the 2nd shade in the top row.
