Gold Souk and Genie: Sleek Arabian Nights Eyeshadow Palette Review
The Sleek mineral-based eyeshadow palette comes in 12
different shades of varying colours. The colours are really sophisticated and ‘mysterious.’
At first sight I thought hmm...they’re really dark and moody, but actually many
of the shades of green and blue are quite vibrant. Depending which shades you
combine together, you can achieve a day time look as well.
I like the fact that you have a shimmery flesh tone ‘Scheherazade’s Tale’ to give your
eyelids a popping brightness in the inner corner or as a base, and then you
have the charcoal-dark ‘1001 Nights’ at
the other end of the spectrum to create a cut crease or smoky look. Who invents
these shade names hey? Just the names (Simbad’s
Seas, Sultan’s Garden...) make me
want to start playing around with the emeralds and blues!
With a soft, velvety concentrated pigment, the shades slide
on really well. And you only need a small amount! When I wore Valley of Diamonds at a wedding, the
gold glitter within it stood out, and was still visible after a long 4 hours. Perfect
for a hot summer’s day. At no point did I need to re-apply this eye shadow
because of any ‘fall-out.’ Guess what this means? You only need a small amount to work it along the eyelids! Would I still use a primer before the shadow? Yes I would. It just helps to neutralise the eyelid colour.
The casing itself is really strong, with the entire inner lid
encasing a mirror.
I’d recommend this product because it oozes with style,
sophistication and smartness.
Don’t you just love the satisfaction of a great long-awaited
buy?
