Review - Sleek Eye Dusts

Hey!

So I know a lot of people (me included) have done posts on the Sleek palettes and I thought I would blog about another one of their products which I love! It's the Eye Dusts, which are loose pigments. I have 6 of these so far.

Top Row: Dirty, Vintage, In The Nude
Bottom Row: Eden, Fantasy, Jet Set

The swatches are in the same order as above, this is dry with no base!

Here is a comparison with a MAC pigment, size wise the Sleek pots are not as tall but they are wider, with MAC you get 7.5g and Sleek 6.5g. Now price, MAC are around £15, Sleek about £2.99! I would say these are comparable to the chunkier MAC pigments. They are not finely milled like Barry M Dazzle Dusts but the colour payoff is incredible! These do come with a sifter but I removed them as I find it easier without!
I have found that the best way to apply these is with a stiff brush and to pat them on to the lid first before blending, this helps to prevent fallout!
I would definately recommend these to anyone that is looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC pigments. There are about 18 colours available, so I am sure there will be one that catches your eye! I would recommend that you test it before you buy though as the texture does vary between the colours.
Sleek is available at larger Superdrug stores as well as some Beauty Supply Shops.
If you would like to see a look with these pigments please let me know!

MAC Pigment Samples

Hey!

I don't know about you but I really don't like buying full size MAC pigments as I don't think there is anyway I would ever use up a whole jar! There are a lot of websites that sell MAC pigment samples and I thought I would recommend the one I use! Its http://www.thebodyneeds2.com/

They are really good value, and at the moment you get 15% off if you enter "MAY" as a coupon code at checkout. They charge $1.79 for a 1/4 teaspoon, although that sounds like nothing you actually do get a decent amount of product as you can see!

When I purchased 6 samples shipping was $5.95 and they arrived in about a week and a half! I have ordered from them 3 times now and each time the service has been great!

It's also a great way to get hold of discontinued/pro/ltd edtn pigments, as you can see I have a sample of Sweet Sienna which I absolutely love!

So if you want to try some pigments but don't want to spend £15 on one colour then this is a great way to try out a variety of colours before making the investment in the full size jar!
