When I held
the eyeshadow palette in my hands for the first time, it felt like a chocolate
bar to me and I just wanted to have a bite. Luckily my mom called me, otherwise
the pictures you see today would have a dent.
The beautiful Gold standard i-Lust palette from Sleek makeup has a sleek and neat packaging. It has a mixture of some glamorous shades in different finishes. Laurent is a deep plummy sparkly shade with brown undertones. Coco is a deep copper shade. Margiela is a super pretty coppery brown eyeshadow in creamy finish. Vera is a gorgeous golden shade. Louis is a silvery creamy finish eyeshadow whereas Vivienne is a very light champagne shade that serves only as a highlighter purpose for me.
All the
shade names have been inspired by famous designer names! So if you wear one of
these shades and describe your look to yourself in front of a mirror, don't
forget to add "Oh! I am wearing Coco too!"
The formula
is easy to work with. All the eyeshadows have a very smooth texture, good
pigmentation and blend in easily with a few pats. There's a nominal amount of
fall out, so ensure to tap in your brush in air before you pat it on your eyes.
Regarding
the staying power, the powder ones wear on my oily eyelids upon a primer for
more than 6 hours with minimal fading which is pretty good. The creamy ones crease
on my oily eyelids on their own but since I always wear them with a powder
eyeshadow on top, it doesn't bothers me. Combined with a powder eyeshadow, they
definitely increase their staying power and give them a better hold and
intensity.
Sorry for the not so clear swatches. It's the gloomy weather.
