Sleek Face Form Palette - review and swatches

The first product I want to review is the Sleek Face Form Palette. I bought this palette two or so months ago, and I use it on a daily basis - I absolutely adore the contour in this palette. I bought it off www.crushcosmetics.com.au, which is a wonderful website for Australians who are looking for international makeup brands. It was $17.95, the postage was not too expensive - and everytime I order makeup off the site it usually takes 1-2 days to arrive!

The palette looks like this:


The packaging is rubbery in texture, and can get a little dirty (as you can see in the picture). The palette I have has a contour, highlighter and blush, and the palette comes in four shades - fair, light, medium and dark. I got my palette in fair.


By far, my favourite aspect of this palette is the contour - in the pan, it does appear to have a bit of shimmer, but it does go on completely matte. I enjoy the highlighter as an eyebrow highlight, but it can be a bit too shimmery - and I'm not the biggest fan of shimmer. Because of this, the blush is a little too shimmery for my liking, but I love the colour and concept of the rose gold blush. It is a beautiful colour, but it is super pigmented and I really don't think I can pull off such a powerful blush.

I do think this palette is worth it, mostly for the contour. As I am very fair (think NC15 fair), it is hard to find a contour that is light enough to not look like a hot mess on my face. This baby is wonderful, and if you have a very light skin tone, I would recommend checking out this palette.


Above is a swatch of the products - contour, highlight, blush


And here is a picture of me wearing all three products.

I hope you enjoyed this review, thanks for reading guys!

Current wish list

1. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

I am the biggest lover of Urban Decay eyeshadows. I own both the Naked palettes, the Fifteenth Anniversary palette, the Vice palette, and another palette I cannot remember the name of. I am the biggest hoarder of these palettes - and I cannot wait to get my hands on this palette! Mostly matte shades, hello ;)



2. MAC Party Parrot Lipstick 

It's just a pretty colour, okay? Buying this tomorrow night when I get paid!



3. Lime Crime Airborne Unicorn Lipstick

Two months ago I bought the OCC liptar in Hoochie, but my expectations of the product was extremely high and it was a disappointment. My lips were so dry, and the colour wasn't as long-lasting as I was led to believe. I just want a beautiful purple, and this one looks like a match!
I think I may also purchase Serpentina and Poisonberry




That's it for my current wish list items! What's on your wish list? :)
