I've never really done a proper review/swatches on this palette but it's my 2nd favourite ever (after UD's Naked Palette) so I thought I would. I know there's a lot of reviews and swatches floating around the blogosphere so please do forgive me if you've already seen them. If you haven't then basically, you need this palette! When I brought it it was just £4.99 but I do believe it's gone up to £5.99. For 12 eyeshadows, it's a complete bargain.
Please do excuse the dirty packaging - no matter what I do it just doesn't stay clean.
Unfortunately the eyeshadows don't have names. Sleek have started putting names on their eyeshadows thank god. But for now I've just going to name them myself - they're not going to be creative by the way!
Top Row L-R - Light Gold, White Gold, Matte Brown
Bottom Row L-R - Dark Brown, Light Blue, Dark Green
See what I mean about un-creative names hey!

Whilst swatching these, I noticed that some are a bit similar to a few shades from Urban Decay (Naked Palette). Whilst these swatches aren't entirely true to life, they do give an indication on how similar the colours are - ish.
L-R Sleek Light Pink, Urban Decay Toasted, Sleek Maroon
L-R Sleek Other Gold, Urban Decay Half Baked, Sleek Light Gold
L-R Urban Decay Sin, Sleek White Gold, Urban Decay Naked, Sleek Matte Brown
There's a pretty big difference in spending over £10 for just one eyeshadow compared to spending £5.99 for 12 so if you're on a budget, I do recommend the Sleek palette. But I'd definitely suggest investing in the Naked Palette. It really is a bargain and worth the money!
As for Sleek's eyeshadows? As you can tell they're incredibly pigmented and really long wearing. I only own this palette from them and that's because it's a neutral palette but if neutral colours aren't your think, definitely check out their other palettes.
Sleek is available from most Superdrug stores in the UK! Does anyone else own this palette? Or any Sleek items?
