FOTD: Sleek "Sunset" Glow

I've received my very first Sleek palette from Vicky, who is one of the sweetest bloggers I know and am grateful to have gotten to know quite well this past year. ♡ She sent me the Sleek "Sunset" e/s palette during out first swap!

To be honest, I was a bit intimidated with the colors since I had nothing like it in my collection! Hence, I didn't touch these for..quite a while. Actually, I used the teal blue and..gold I think once when I went to the vet and kbbq~ lol. Hopefully I didn't scare off any of the doggies or kitties...


Fast forward to today, I've come prepared to worked with some colors! Still on the neutral side since the "color" I used was purple, but it's still a new change for me. (I am determined to use the orange in a look! Maybe something inspired? I'll make it work. ;])

Face: Reviva Primer (review), Skin79 hot pink bb cream, Missha concealer (review to come), Maybelline Dream Matte powder to set it all.
Eyes: NARS Eyeshadow primer (upcoming post about this soon!), Sleek "Divine" palette (see ♥s for the colors I used + full post is on the upcoming list!), K-palette 24hr tattoo liner.
Cheeks: NARS "Sin" from Danmari palette, ELF Healthy Skin bronzer in "Sun kissed".
Lips: Revlon lip butter in "Peach Parfait".


Had a lovely afternoon in Beverly Hills today. Walking amongst the "rich" and where they "shop"...there's something fun and exciting about it. Took many pictures so I'll be doing a "place post" again soon! Many other posts to come like one on lip butters, US L'oreal Infallibles, my attempts at applying falsies, plus many more!

Oh, and I'm going to a schmancy dinner tomorrow night so...an OOTD post as well? It's schmancy, hence I need to get schmancy-fied... but I'm super excited! (though my friend told me to prepare myself for a FEAST...omo).

Hope you all are having a beautiful day! 
It was in the mid-80s here and I burned up! Winter weather...where you at?

  6. I always hear so many great things about Sleek palettes!! However, I do understand why you were a bit hesitant with the colors. I usually stick with neutral colors and when seeing such bright ones I guess I'd be in the same situation. Seriously, I have no idea how to work with teal or orange. lol

  9. Sleek palettes are so good! Such good colour payoff and so cheap too. I used to wear bright colours all the time but now I stick with more neutrals. Though all the colours apart from that bright blue aren't too bad to work with. Looking lovely!

  10. The Sleek shadows are so pigmented. I received one in a blog swap, but still haven't used it yet in a look. Shame on me >.<  The look you did looks nice! The colors are still very wearable :)

  11. cute look! So pigmented.. is this palette chalky or anything? tempted to try some Sleek palettes but I don't know about the actual quality of them :) Would u recommend this palette? :D

  12. I was really intimidated by the Sunset palette too! But once I started playing around with it the colours are actually workable. Love your look! Looking forward to your OOTD too! :)

  14. Hehe you can totally work the orange! Maybe mixed with some gold all over your lid, then orange in the outer corners? Hopefully it's not super opaque so you can layer it nicely.

  25. I'm still gonna try out that one look you did with this same palette! XD Thank you!!! I'll post that soon. :]

  26. Thank you!! Nope~ not chalky at all! I haven't officially swatched all the shades yet, but none are matte so these are extra buttery and easy to blend. :D I would!
