Sleek iDivine Vintage Romance Palette

Since this is my sixth Sleek review (I think) I will not bore you with the deets on the packaging. It's the minimalistic black casing we all know and love. Only thing I might add is that after months of use of Sleek palettes, I can say that they seem to be indestructible. Really firm and good build. As for Vintage Romance, from the first look I could tell that all the twelve shades have been organized and put together accordingly. It seems like someone really made an effort to make a harmonious and versatile eyeshadow palette at the same time. Since many colors seem muted on the promo photos, one might have thought that it's a boring or a “safe” type of palette but I was truly surprised at how many different combinations and looks I could achieve with one small palette.  

Posto mi je ovo vec sesta recenzija Sleek proizvoda (mislim da je sesta), postediti cu vas dosadnih detalja o pakovanju. U biti sve smo vec upoznate sa prepoznatljivim dizajnom koji volimo. Jedino sto bih mogla dodati jeste da, nakon mjeseci i mjeseci upotrebe, mogu slobodno reci kako je pakovanje skoro pa neunistivo. Odlicne je, cvrste gradje. Sto se konkretno Vintage Romance palete tice, na prvi pogled sam mogla procijeniti kako je svih dvanaest nijansi pomno odabrano i sastavljeno u jednu fantasticnu paletu sjena za oci. Djeluje mi da je netko zaista razmislio o tome da ovo bude jedna raznolika no istovremeno i harmonicna paleta. Posto vecina nijansi na fotografijama djeluje dimasto, zemljano, romanticno – neki bi pomislili kako je ovo pomalo dosadna ili “sigurna” kombinacija boja. Nemojte se dati zavarati jer sam se i sama odusevila raznolikoscu make-up kombinacija koje sam uspjela kreirati uz pomoc ove paletice.

Most of the shades are shimmery which doesn't put it into the “rare drugstore” category since shimmer is always present in drugstore make-up items (even more than actually desired). However, this particular mix of colors and textures along with shimmer results in stunning effects on eyes. I am also in love with the cool and warm toned mix they've thrown in because many of them do get along together and can be paired. This is definitely one dreamy eyeshadow palette – pigmentation and the buttery feel of the eyeshadows is amazing but it isn't flawless. There are some darker shades that are a tad sheer and the glitter in them does seem to be awkwardly inserted while the true buttery metallic shades are absolute perfection. The wear of eyeshadows in this palette is fabulous. An entire day at work – even with the central heating on. Of course, I have some favorite shades but all in all, this must be one of the best Sleek palettes so far. Let's head over to each individual shade. I hope you'll find swatches useful. I've also inserted a photo of one of the looks I've created with this palette. I've purchased the Vintage Romance palette at www.sleekmakeup.com for $9.99.

Vecina sjena sadrzi shimmer sto zaista na prvu ne kategorise ovu paletu medju one posebnije iz drogerijskog ranga – ipak, skoro svi make-up komadi iz drogerija su bogati razlicitim shimmerom (nekada mozda i previse). Bez obzira na tu cinjenicu, doticni miks boja i tekstura zajedno sa shimmerom daje zaista odlican efekat na ocima. Takodjer mi se mnogo dopada sto se dvanaest sjena moze podijeliti na one hladnog i toplog podtona. Posebno mi je odlicno sto se hladni i topli tonovi mogu medjusobno kombinirati. Ovo je nesumnjivo krasna paleta – pigmentacija i puterast osjecaj pod prstima je nevjerovatan no ipak Vintage Romance nije bez greske. Postoji par tamnijih nijansi koje su prosarane shimmerom nesto krupnijih dimenzija koji naprosto djeluje kao da lezi povrh samog pigmenta. Sa druge strane, istinske metalik nijanse su potpuno savrsenstvo. Trajnost ovih sjena je fantasticna. Cijeli dan na poslu bez pomjeranja – cak i uz ukljuceno centralno grijanje. Naravno, imam vlastite favorite u ovoj paleti no sve u svemu, ovo je po mom misljenju jedna od najboljih paleta sjena koje je do sada Sleek izbacio na trziste. Slijede opisi svake pojedinacne nijanse iz palete. Nadam se da ce vam fotke pomoci te sam na kraju ubacila i fotke jednog look-a koji sam napravila sa Vintage Romance.Paletu sam kupila online preko www.sleekmakeup.com i kostala me $9.99.

1. Pretty in Paris – intense light silver eyeshadow with maximum “buttery levels”. It would serve as a terrific highlighter due to its wow effect.
2. Meet in Madrid – equally creamy golden metallic counterpart of the previous shade. It has pronounced yellow undertones and could also be used as an excellent highlighter. j
3. Court in Cannes – the most beautiful dark, chocolate, bronzy brown – the only shade that is better than Maybelline's Color Tattoo in On and on bronze! Extreme pigmentation, extreme creaminess and even application. Perhaps the best shade in the palette.
4. Lust in LA – this is the only contender for the previous shade since it's equally buttery, pigmented and long lasting. Quite unique shade – taupey, bronzy, browny and even olivey at certain light. Amazing eyeshadow.
5. Romance in Rome – it's one of the sheerer shades in the palette. Navy-purplish shade which is buttery to the touch but the pigment doesn't translate as much on the skin/ eyes. Contains tiny, unevenly distributed shimmer.
6. Propose in Prague – a rusty, reddish warm brown shade – a rare matte eyeshadow in the palette. Very beautiful and pigmentation is also great but it lacks in the buttery department. It does flake and crumble a bit while applying it so it isn't the easiest to work with.
7. A Vow in Venice – slightly metallic purplish berry shade which looks beautiful in the pan. However, the pigmentation isn't as intense on my skin as I'd like it to be. It does apply smooth and even.
8. Marry in Monte Carlo – brighter version of its predecessor with reddish undertones. This is a berry shade I prefer in the palette. It has good wear, pigmentation and pleasing texture.
9. Honeymoon in Hollywood – Amazingly pigmented, intense wine-berry hue which is shot through with sparse silver sparkle. It would be a pretty good matte without it but it is somewhat hard hence troublesome to blend.
10. Bliss in Barcelona – my kind of purple – a bit smokey, very deep and intense and mysterious. Almost on same pigmentation levels with Romance in Rome. It simply doesn't translate onto my skin. Such a shame for such a beautiful color.
11. Forever in Florence – falls into the blackened cherry/ burgundy category. Insanely pigmented, almost inky alas it has too much glitter which does seem to distract from the amazing pigmentation. Prettier to look at than to work with.
12. Love in London – averagely pigmented black with shimmer. Not my fave but it isn't useless.

——————————————————————————————————————-

1. Pretty in Paris – intenzivna svijetlo srebrena nijansa koja je maksimalno puterasta.
   Posluzila bi i kao efektan hajlajter zbog izuzetnog intenziteta.




2. Meet in Madrid – jednako kremasta metalik zlatna sjena. Preovladavajucih je zutih
   podtonova te bi zbog presijavanja takodjer mogla posluziti kao efektan
   hajlajter.




3. Court in Cannes – prekrasna tamno/cokoladno/bronzano smedja nijansa – jedina koja mi je
   nadmasila Maybelline Color Tattoo sjenu On and on bronze! Ekstremno
   pigmentirana i kremasta te ujednacenog nanosenja. Mozda najljepsa sjena
   iz palete.




4. Lust in LA – jedina stvarna konkurencija prethodnoj sjeni posto je jednako
   svilenkasta, pigmentirana i dugotrajna na kapcima. Prilicno je
   jedinstvena nijansa – malo je taupe (smedje-siva), broznana, smedjkasta
   pa cak i maslinasta na nekom svjetlu. Odlicna.




5. Romance in Rome – jedna od prozirnijih nijansi iz palete. Tamna, nocno plava sa
   ljubicastim primjesama. Svilenkasta na dodir no pigment se ne prenosi na
   kozu u jednakoj mjeri kao kod prethodnih nijansi. Sadrzi dosta sitan
   shimmer koji je neravnomjerno rasporedjen.




6. Propose in Prague – crvenkasto-smedja nijansa, vuce na boju hrdje – jedna od rijetkih mat sjena za oci
   iz palete. Dosta interesantna boja, pigmentacija je dosta dobra no nije
   puterasta na dodir . Malo je teze raditi sa njom posto se mrvi i
   rasipa pri nanosenju.




7. A Vow in Venice – blago metalik ljubicasta nijansa bobicastog voca koja prekrasno djeluje
   u pakovanju. No pigmentacija mi na kozi nije dovoljno intenzivna, barem
   ne koliko bih ja to zeljela. Doduse, nanosi se glatko i ravnomjerno.




8. Marry in Monte Carlo – nesto svjetlija nijansa prethodnice uz blago crvenkasti podton. Boja
   bobicastog voca kakvu ja preferiram iz palete. Dosta se dobro
   drzi na kapcima, trajnost je pohvalna kao i tekstura.




9. Honeymoon in Hollywood – nevjerovatno pigmentirana, intenzivna nijansa crnog vina i ljubicastih
   podtonova koja u sebi sadrzi rastrkan shimmer. Bila bi odlicna mat sjena
   bez tog shimmera no nesto je i tvrdje teksture te je malo zahtjevnija
   za nanosenje.




10. Bliss in Barcelona – ljubicasta kakvu ja volim – malo je dimasta, bogata, tamna, zagusena i
    misteriozna. Skoro je na istom nivou po pitanju pigmentacije kao nijansa
    Romance in Rome. Jednostavno se ljepota ove nijanse ne iskazuje na
    mojoj kozi. Stvarno je to steta jer mi se boja jako dopada.




11. Forever in Florence – spada u kategoriju skoro pa crne tresnje i crnog vina. Pigmentacija je
    fantazija, skoro je poput mastila ali nazalost sadrzi previse glittera
    koje mi odvlaci paznju od same boje. Ljepse je gledati nego raditi sa
    njom.




12. Love in London – prosjecno pigmentirana crna sjena prozeta shimmerom. Nije jedan od mojih favorita no nije beskorisna.
