Sleek i-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Darks Palette swatches & Review

I bought this palette a while ago and thought I'd do a post on it before I throw away the packaging it came in. I'm a fan of matte make-up and liked the idea of having a palette of all matte shadows hence this lovely Sleek purchase!
 The palette contains 12 1g eyeshadows in a range of gorgeous 'dark' colours. I bought mine for £7.99 and there is also a 'Brights'(they don't lie about this, bright for sure!) matte palette.
Here's some pictures I snapped up, unfortunately my 'better' camera is recharging right now so I hope these pictures do the job.

My favourite has to be 'Orbit' followed by 'Ink', I quiet like 'Paper Bag' too (picture does no justice) but it's a nice brown. 'Flesh' is uh...very flesh toned on my skin so you can't see it as well.
 Pro's
-The eyeshadows are easy to blend.
-Most of them are very pigmented.
- The range of colours is nice.
 -Affordable and come's in a sturdy black palette with a good mirror.
 Con's
 - Not all the shadows are as pigmented, there's a few exceptions.
 - A little chalky- I had loose 'bit's' of shadows when I was swatching which you can see in the second picture.
Verdict? 
Overall I'm impressed, I personally don't think it's easy to find a decent matte set of eyeshadows so I'm pleased Sleek released this one!

Do you own this palette?

New Purchases: Benefit They're Real and Sleek Blush by 3

Just a quick post about my new make-up purchases. I'm trying to refrain from buying any especially as I'm doing a swap with Andrea! But I just had to get these two products, they have been blogged about over and over again, I'm sure most of you have seen/heard of/have them.
I am super excited to finally have them myself.
I caved into getting Benefits They're real mascara as I just keep hearing positive things about it so I'm looking forward to trying it. I decided not to open it until I'm actually ready to use it.
I also got Sleek's Blush by 3 in 'Lace' I chose Lace as I was drawn in by the oranges and my blush collection at the moment is all pinks! This cost £9.99 from Superdrug. This is also my FIRST Sleek product!! Crazy I know.
I tend to feel *ugh* when taking pictures of make-up/swatches as it can be so hard (to me at least) to capture the true colours. But I tried my best! 
The two colours on the outside 'Crochet'- Orange and 'Chantilly'- Red toned Coral are matte whilst the middle 'Guipure' has shimmer but not in a bad way, trust me I normally stay away from shimmer/glitter make-up.
The middle colour also reminds me of Nars orgasm a little bit, I don't own it but from what I've seen online in person this sleek blush has the similar two tone peach-gold kinda colour to it, it's gorgeous! I also believe Sleek sell this blush on it's own under the name 'Rose Gold'. All three colours look incredibly pigmented and bright in the pan
 So far I am loving this trio and I will do a more in depth post about it soon! I am even tempted to buy the other trios whilst their still being sold..
What do you think? own any Sleek Blush by 3's?
