I have already raved about how much I love Sleek eyeshadow palettes, Original and Chaos. Today, I’m gonna talk about another Sleek product I adore: their loose eyeshadow pigments.
Sleek Eye Dust pigments are available in 18 shades. I have Jet Set, which is a very beautiful light green color. I’m not very good at describing colors, so I’ll let the swatch below do all the talking.
The powder is not as finely milled as that of other pigments I’ve tried like my beloved Bary M Dazzle Dusts for instance. But it applies smoothly and is easy to blend. It has shimmers but they aren’t too obvious nor glittery. The color payoff is really good: the shade is bright, vibrant and shimmery. And it lasts all day too!
The packaging is very similar to that of MAC pigments, both in shape and size. Sleek pigment contains 6.5g, while MAC 7.5g. But at £2.99 each Sleek pigments are a steal! The jar also has a sifter, which I really like as there isn’t spillage.
Summary:
Overall, I really love this pigments. They have great color payoff, are long-lasting and the packaging is quite big. At £2.99 each, I don’t see any reason not to collect quite a few of them!

Celeste: yeah, the Sleek one is only slighly smaller and for that price, how can you resist them?
Connie: I love the color, it’s beautiful. These pigments really are a great value for money!
Ohhh, that swatch looks real nice. I can’t wait for you to do a look with it Gio! That’s pretty big – almost as big as MAC. A great alternative!

2.99 pounds for a big jar like that? That’s such a steal! The color you have is a bit lighter than MAC Kelly Green and it’s so gorgeous. You make me want to save money and fly to Europe to get me some makeup

Dee: a look with it is coming soon! I’ve done one and just need to crop the pictures
They’re definitely a great alternative to MAC, the quality is great and there is so much product in the jar, it will probably last me a lifetime!
Dao: I know! I only bought one pigment because I thought the deal was too good to be true! But the quality is really good and the color very pretty, I regret not getting more. I know Sleek is working on creating an online shop and they’re planning to ship worlwide, so hopefully you’ll be able to get some of their stuff soon
Anastacia: thanks! I love loose shadows too, I use them all the time, they’re so versatile
