Sleek MakeUP's "Vintage Romace" pallete

Good morning Zombies!

All 3 of my kids are now in elementary school! I almost don't know what to do with myself during the days and still feel a bit lost without my kids around to harass. ;) So, I decided to do a little blogging!

I purchased the i-Divine "Vintage Romance" palette from Sleek MakeUP a few weeks ago- via a "popular online auction website" and wanted to swatch it for you all. Of the 5 Sleek palettes I currently own, this one is my favorite.

Swatches!
(I used Fyrinnae's "Pixie Epoxy" as a base for the swatches.)




I adore "Court in Cannes", "Marry in Monte Carlo", "Honeymoon in Hollywood", and "Bliss in Barcelona". They are by far my favorites from this palette. I also like that Sleek included matte, shimmer, and glitter shades in this palette. "Forever in Florence", "Love in London", and "Honeymoon in Hollywood" are all glittery, though "Honeymoon in Hollywood" has a matte base. "Propose in Prague" is the only other matte shadow. The rest are shimmer....and amazing.

As with a lot of Sleek's palettes, the eyeshadow is a tad on the chalky side and do need a good base to "hold on to". They are however, super pigmented and easily blended. I was really impressed with "Love in London" particularly. I didn't expect too much from it, but it turned out to be a great glittery black. "Bliss in Barcelona" is just swoon worthy. This palette is a great mix of neutral to bright and matte to glitter. The best of all worlds!

"Vintage Romance" retails for $11.99 (USD) on the website. Sleek can be purchased other places online (just use Google!).

I'll be doing a look shortly with this palette. Stay tuned to my Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for more. I can be found on all sites @makeupzombie.

New Mexico Sunset, LOTD.

Good morning Zombies!

I actually did a full makeup yesterday and wanted to share it with you. I was inspired by my love of the New Mexico skies. Though I didn't incorporate all the colors you'll see in a sunset here, the more I added to this look, the more it reminded me of a summer evening sky here. So, that's my story.
