Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Vintage Romance Palette

 

Hello folks. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eye shadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eye shadow junkie. In order to de-clutter a bit I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eye shadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eye shadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag.

These are the looks I created this month:

So as you can see I created all sorts of softly colorful and slightly smoky looks with these shadows. Generally speaking, the quality of this palette is fantastic - the shades have great color payoff and blend together easily. That said, I will be passing this palette along. The reason for this is that I feel that I have dupes for nearly all of the shades here in other palettes that I'm more likely to reach for. I haven't reached for this palette before when I wanted to wear shades like the ones in it, and likely won't start now.

August 2026 Departures

Hi folks! Departure blogs will contain items that aren't empties but that are going to be given away for one reason or another. I'm working hard to curate my makeup collection and want it to include only the products that I think truly work well, that I reach for often and do what they're supposed to do.

1. Sleek Makeup i-Divine E10 palette: There is nothing inherently wrong with this palette. I think the shadows themselves are pretty, the quality is good, they are pigmented, easy to work with, they're buttery and blend well. All that said, I have not reached for this palette other than to play with it back in August and I simply never think to reach for it. I have similar colors in other palettes so I'd rather pass this along to someone who could give it more love.

I haven't reached for this palette before when I wanted to wear shades like those in it, and likely won't start now. I'm sure when I was purchasing it though, that nearly all the shades with the exception of the charcoal looked pretty to me. Alas, I'll be passing this along.
