Sleek Aqua Collection : Lagoon i-Divine Palette

I finally handed in my dissertation today, so I can get back into blogging! I've missed it so much and I apologise that I've been missing from action lately, but I promise that blog posts are firmly back on the agenda!

Prepare yourself for beautiful colours overload! This week saw the release of the Aqua Collection from Sleek, who are most well known for their amazing eyeshadow palettes. I have far too many of these palettes than any normal person should have but I just can't stop myself buying these every time a new one is released.

The aqua collection consists of a 12 pan eyeshadow palette, a beautiful pink blush and a set of 4 nail polishes. The blush is a very pretty shimmery pink called Mirrored Pink, and the nail polishes are named Deep Waves, consisting of a pink, blue, yellow and red.

This i-Divine palette includes colours inspired by the shades you would find underwater, and around the picturesque settings of lagoons. With a multitude of soft blues, purples, greens and golds, there is something for everyone, every look, and will take you right through the spring and summer.




Sassea is a lovely hybrid between blue and green with golden shimmer.
Deep Water a deep matte purple that blends like a dream
Reflection is a shimmer based lilac shade that has a slight frost finish
Emerald an emerald green shade that fits in with the pantone colour of the year. It's not quite as bright as I would like but it's still a pretty colour nonetheless.
Oyster Just as the name suggests, an ultra shimmery white, almost verging on silver. Perfect for highlighting
Black Pearl. A beautiful black shade with just the right amount of shimmer 
Pink Jewel a pale magenta shade with golden shimmer, So, so pretty
Sand Dollar a yellow toned gold that doesn't look too brassy but has just the right amount of shimmer to it
Underworld another hybrid between green and blue but is more blue toned than sassea.
Sea Shell a bronze shade that looks beautiful all over the lid. Can be built up to full intensity but does blend so effortlessly.
Night Sky a light dusky purple shade that does lean slightly blue. This has a matte finish.
Ariel this is the shade I was most looking forward to. I guess the inspiration comes from Ariel's hair, but this pretty coral shade can also be used a blush :)



I have so much love for this palette, I can see it being my go to palette throughout the spring and summer. 

Unfortunately, this is limited edition so if you want this I would recommend that you buy it quickly because I predict that it is going to sell out quickly! 
This retails for £7.99 in Superdrugs and on Sleek's website.
You can also buy the full collection for £19.99 here :)

  1. There's some really nice shades in the palette! I envy people who can use a red/pink/coral eyeshadow without looking like they have a swollen eye! If I could get the coral shade to work I think it would be beautiful!

    1. I'm loving all of the shades so far! I'm definitely going to try the coral shade in my eyes but I think that it might be best used as a blush :) x
