Sleek Oh So Special Palette

This is my first new post on My Face But Better. I decided to change my blog name/url from Ramblings of a Rascal as I wasn't 100% happy about it and I wanted to be, so ta da 'My Face But Better' is born. The name has more of a beauty focus and I put a lot of thought into it. I guess when I first set up Ramblings of a Rascal I didn't quite take into consideration the real importance of getting the name right.

Anywho onto the make-up goodness that you're all here for.

I present to you Sleek's Oh So Special palette. This is by no means a new addition to the shelves but my local Superdrug has only just stacked it's shelf's with Sleek's offerings so it's new to me.

Oh So Special is made up of 12 different complimenting shades ranging in colours and textures, there really is something for everyone. For those of you who hate matte colours there's a few shimmers added in and vice versa. As much as I love palette's full of shimmer I know it's not to everyone's taste. The colour's range from white, neutral pinks through to your darker browns, blacks and greys. The palette is really versatile in that you can use it during the day for a soft make-up look and then vamp it up in the evening. The added bonus is that it's also small enough to carry in your handbag with a pretty big mirror and applicator, all of which are great for changing or adding to the look during the day.

Some of the colours really don't do it for me on application, I find a couple of the matte shades just a bit 'blah' but that's down to personal preference. I'm also often put off by matte black eye-shadows such as the Noir shade in this palette, I'm never really quite sure how to work it (queue looking like I've been thumped in the face), I'm a bit of a novice. Having said that though the other colours more than make up for that, Organza, Glitz and Celebrate are my fave's and are absolutely gorgeous (yes I know, shimmer, shimmer and more shimmer). I've been using most of this palette over the past week or so (alternating with MUA's Heaven and Earth - post coming soon) and loved it, also dared to give the coral Ribbon a go, a colour I would never have been drawn to!

What do you guys think? I like it but I don't Love it. I think I'll check out a few more of Sleek's palette's as when the shades are good, they're really good.

Sleek's Oh So Special palette can be bought online from http://www.sleekmakeup.com/ or from Superdrug store's for £6.49.
