Sleek Vintage Romance Palette :)


Hello there! And finally I'm back and this time I have a long long promised review for you :) It's time to review the latest Sleek palette called Vintage Romance :) I know that lately all blogs have been posting about this one, but I thought it would be best to write about this one, since it's limited edition and you never know how long it will be available in stores :)

So to start, I want to mention I got this one with a little discount at this slovenian web store - MojaDrogerija.si :)  I really fell for this one from the first promo photos I saw and I really wanted to get my hands on it :) Now I finally got time to give it a proper review :)

Pozdravljeni na blogu UniqaPoly! :) Danes predstavljam novo paletko senčil Sleek Limited Edition - Vintage Romance :) Kupila sem jo na slovenski spletni strani MojaDrogerija.si, kjer mi je prijazna Anja podarila posebni blogerski popustek ;) 


As you all know Sleek palettes normally have 12 shades and this one is no different :) It has mostly golden, purple and darker shades in it and they are  mostly shimmery :) To me I find these perfect for my make up looks, but lately I really didn't like the colour choice inside. I wasn't in the mood for purply-pinky shades and I used mainly golden and darker shades :) Personally I would recommend this palette to just about anyone who loves makeup, wants a good product for a reasonable price and especially a very good colour collection and pigment payoff :) If you are looking for Christmas gifts - this could be a great gift, I would be thrilled to get a Sleek palette ;) Not that I don't have too many already, but they are really awesome :)

Packaging of this product is simple, like most of their palettes - simple black case, mirror on upper lid, two sided applicator inside :)

Here's a photo of the shades with their names on! I really love this tiny plastic inside with names printed on, it gives the palette that something extra and making each shade something special :)

Sleek paletke imajo običajno 12 različnih senčil in tudi ta ni nič drugačna :) Večina jih je svetlečih, kar meni osebno ustreza, saj sem bolj navajena takšnih odtenkov kot pa mat, nekako bolj pridejo do izraza, sploh ker imam bolj majhne oči in veke.  Zadnje čase mi vijolično-pinky odtenki nekako niso bili najbolj všeč, sem pa zato toliko več uporabljala prve štiri, srebrno in zlate odtenke in pa najtemnješe tri v paletki, v drugi vrsti :) Osebno bi priporočala tole Sleek paletko vsem ki imate radi romantične kombinacije odtenkov, vsem ki bi radi združili dnevne in večerne "Looke" v eni sami paletki :) Sploh pa prihaja darilna sezona in katerakoli izmed Sleek paletk se mi zdi super darilo ;)

Pakiranje - standard za Sleek, črna z ogledalcem na notranji strani in dvostranskim aplikatorjem. Tudi seveda z prozornim listkom z imeni posameznih ličil, kar daje vsakemu senčilo tisto nekaj kar ga naredi še dodatno posebnega :)



On to shades, from first row I really loved Pretty in Paris, a silvery shimmer shade. Also I use mostly the next three shades - Meet in Madrid, Court in Cannes and Lust in LA :) They are simply the best shades for every day make up and they suit me perfectly, even when I'm totally not in the mood to apply anything on my face ;) All three all goldeny shades, browny and golden-browny, all three are shimmery. Next are Romance in Rome and Propose in Prague. I kinda don't use these two much, they simply don't fit me well or the looks I'm creating. Romance in Rome is a more darker blue shimmery shade, but it really looks a lot lighter on swatches, it's not that well pigmented. Propose in Prague is a more orangey browny matte shade, but I find it too strong, too bright... doesn't fit very well with my normal, everyday looks. Second row starts with three pinky-purply shades, named A Wow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo and Honeymoon in Hollywood. I fell in love with the palette also because of these three shades, but now that I have them I see they are a bit brighter than I'm used to wearing. And I usually use them in combination with a darker shade because they seem really bright on my eyes and that's kinda out of my comfort zone. Anyway the shades are great! A Wow in Venice could be described as a maroon colour, Marry in Monte Carlo is a darker pinky shade and Honeymoon in Hollywood is a more burgundy  shade and I like it best out of these three, I also use it most often from the bottom row :) Honeymoon also contains visible glitter, quite larger than the rest of the shimmery shades, but it's more visible in the palette than on the eyes. Next are the darkest shades of the palette - Bliss in Barcelona, Forever in Venice and Love in London :) First one is a dark purple shimmery shade, but it can also look a bit more blue than purple under certain lights. The pigmentation of this one is not as good as the rest of the palette, kinda like the Romance in Rome. Forever in Vanice is dark plum shade with visible, big glitter and very good pigmenation and  Love in London is a deep black shade with silver glitter - both shades are total win of the palette, if you ask me :)

Še malo o posameznih senčkah :) Pretty in Paris je srebrna, svetla senčka, svetleča. Je mehka senčka in prijetna za nanašanje :) Meet In Madrid, Court in Cannes in Lust in LA so pri meni skoraj najbolj pogosto rabljena senčila. Vsa tri so popolna samostojna ali v kombinaciji, variirajo pa od zlate, zlato rjave do bolj rjavkaste barve :) Naslednja je Romance in Rome, ki mi nekako ne gre, ne morem je velikokrat uporabljati pa tudi pigmentiranost te mi ni všeč, ker nekako ne pride tako lepo izrazita kot je v paletki. Propose in Prague je res božanska barva, mat,lepo pigmentirana, ampak kaj ko mi tako redko paše poleg mojih  vsakdanjih lookov ali večernih. nekako mi je presvetla in jo res redko kombiniram poleg. Druga vrsta se najprej prične s tremi odtenki, ki mi zadnje čase nekako ne pašejo, čeprav so me ravno ti trije prepričali v nakup :) Gre za odtenke A Wow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo in Honeymoon in Hollywood :) Prva je nekoliko bolj kostanjaste barve z roza pridihom, druga je temnejša roza in tretja temnejše bordo barve, tretja mi je tudi najbolj všeč in po njen sem segla najbolj pogosto takoj ko sem prejela paletko. zadnje čase se veliko bolj navdušujem nad naslednjimi tremi odtenki, zadnjimi v paletki - Bliss in Barcelona, Forever in Venice in Love in London :) Nekako mi temni odtenki vedno bolj ležijo, sploh za večerne izhode in zimski čas :) Prva je nekoliko slabše pigmentirana, nekako tako kot Romance in Rome, vendar jo vseeno rada uporabljam v kombinaciji z ostalima dvema. Druga je popolna temna vijolična z velikimi srebrnimi bleščicami, tretja pa klasična črna z srebrnimi bleščicami. :)

All in all the pigmentation of the palette and each shade is very good, and I'm very satisfied with it. Maybe just these two - Romance in Rome and  Bliss in Barcelona stand out, because they are not as dark as they appear to be and they are the only ones that kinda dissapointed me with colour payoff.

Pigmentiranost - paletka kot celota je super, izpostavila bi le odtenka Romance in Rome in pa Bliss in Barcelona, ta dva me nista preveč navdušila. Nista tako temni kot se zdita v paletki, drugače pa nimam pripomb, vse ostale so res super :)

Longivety -  with my ArtDeco eyeshadow base this stayed on all night and didn't budge at all, so I would say they are pretty good :) Except when I used the shades with bigger glitter parts, that glitter I found later in the night under my eyes, but that's kinda normal and I don't mind. I never expected them to stay completly put :)

Obstojnost - uporabljam bazo za senčila ArtDeco, z njo mi senčila zdržijo celo noč in sem res zadovoljna z obstojnostjo :) Imam mastne veke, ampak s tole bazo je problem skoraj popolnoma zmanjšan :) Edino pri senčilih z velikimi srebrnimi bleščicami se zgodi da po večih urah padejo pod oko, vendar mene to ni motilo, nisem pričakovala da bodo ostale na mestu celo noč.. 

Enjoy some more photos :)

In še nekaj slik :)














To sum it all up - I am satisfied with this buy, I really love the whole palette, just too bad I'm not that into pinky - purply shades lately, because they are really good shades :) Also the price in Slovenia is standard - around 12 euros, but that's normal for their palettes :) I really recommend it to all that loved these shades and I also think it would make a great X-mas gift to someone ;)))

Da povzamem -  sama sem zadovoljna z nakupom, bi ga še ponovila v kolikor bi  mi uspelo porabiti paletko dovolj hitro ;). Ne pozabite da gre za omejeno kolekcijo in ni nujno da bo tudi ta paletka ena izmed tistih, ki bo na voljo še eno leto po tem ko je bila izdana :) Cena v Sloveniji je nekje 12 evrov, kar je kar povprečna cena za njihove izdelke. Najdete jo lahko tudi na njihovi spletni strani za malo manj kot 10e, vendar potem doprinese še poštnina :) Če pa morda iščete ideje za darila, mislim da bi bila marsikatera punca zelo vesela take paletke ;)

Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly

    1. Ja res je taka fajn kombinacija barv in kvalitete/cene :) Saj tak al tak že pričakuješ da bo Sleek paletka fajn, potem je sam še vprašanje izbora odtenkov :)
