Sleek Storm I-Divine Palette

According to their website
The Storm i-Divine palette comprises of 12 strong and rich shades perfect for accentuating the eyes and creating natural looks.


The velvet-touch consistency gives full and shimmering coverage to the eye lid for maximum effect. Each shade can be applied alone for a dramatic effect or mixed to create a personalised look.Best applied with the applicator enclosed.





 On their website, the Palette costs $10. I didn't buy it on their website. Instead, I ordered it from Ebay. I bought 2 of the same palette. It made more sense to buy it on ebay. Why? Because I only added and       extra $4 and I got an extra palette. Good deal right?

First Impressions:

1. The Palette is smaller than what I thought it would be. I do like the fact that the palette came with a mirror.
2. The eyeshadows are Nickel-sized. So its a bit bigger than my coastal scents 88 eyeshadow palettes.
3. Very Pigmented, swatched the eye shadows twice, one with a primer and the second time without one.
4. Can get a bit chalky, after swatching the eyeshadows, there were a lot of loose shadows on the palette.
5. Staying power can be a bit medium. Meaning they can stay for a good amount of time.
6. Color choices in this palette is awesome! Because you can take this palette from day to night, and anywhere in between. They're all mostly earth tones. Most of them have a warmer undertone, and its not to cool or harsh for my skin tone.
7.Blended some of the shadows after swatching them, and they did stay put.
8.Fallout can be a problem. That is, because these are mineral eye shadows, so what do you expect.
9. A good mixture of matte, satin/frost finish. Nothing too metalic .

As usual, with any eye shadow with a primer underneath it, the eye shadows will look more vibrant. As you can see in the swatches, there is not a big difference with the lighter colors. As for the darker ones, you can tell, that a primer makes the eyeshadow pop more.


 Repurchase: Yes, but just this palette. The other ones that they have on their website is not really my type of colors. I'd like something that I can actually wear, rather than let it gather dust. It's just a long wait to purchase this, why? Because it is not available here in the US, or not in any retail stores around me either. Buying it thru ebay only took 4 days. It came all the from UK, which is pretty good considering it was overseas. Its very inexpensive, but shipping can be a drag. Definitely worth a try without breaking the bank.
