Comes in a Black, sturdy, matte and sleek packaging, the Face Form container is travel handy with full size mirror inserted in one side. Not equipped with additional brush but definitely gives more extra space for both powders and mirror. Below photo shows you both Aurora's wrapping packaging and SLEEK's outer box.

Loving the Black, sleek container of Face Form in Light shade. Travel handy yet looks modern for quintessential packaging. Don't forget to bring contouring/blusher brush along the way and you're ready to go.

It comes in 3 powders; Bronzer, Highlighter, & Blusher. Bronzer has more matte texture while both Highlighter & Blusher (Center & Right) is more shimmering with subtle shimmer. Fair pigmentation but frankly to say the Highlighter has bit of metallic result. The blusher also tends to be less pigmented when applied on the cheek; more likely shimmering but subtle pigmentation.







The Bronzer is medium-tan powder with matte finish, while in contrary the Highlighter is resulted in creamy-beige with metallic finish. The Blusher goes as Pinkish-Peach blush with yellow undertone and subtle shimmer.

Using all products can be either disaster or work-of-art; it's kinda tricky. However, a single powder application might work best too if you want to get a simple look. For more tips, kindly check below information from SLEEK's website:

How To:

Step One:



  • Prep your skin ensuring face and neck are clean and dry.
  • Step Two:
  • Apply foundation of choice to create a smooth and even complexion.
  • Step Three:
  • To achieve great cheek definition, using a small contour brush, apply the contour powder, starting from the ear and gently blending torwards the direction of your mouth, building definition as desired and blending as you to go, to ensure all lines are soft.
  • Step Four:
  • For Face Form in Fair/Light apply blush to apples of cheeks using contour brush or blush brush, ensuring you blend as you go, erasing all hard lines.
  • For Face Form in Medium/Dark apply bronzer to cheeks, nose, forehead and chin sparingly to add that sunkissed look.
  • Step Five:
  • Finally, apply the highlighter lightly to the apples of the cheeks for a highlighted contour creating soft, yet defined and sculpted cheekbones.

  • SWATCH

    My Verdict?
    Love it. Gotta be honest; I should say comparing to Illamasqua Hussy (which is also an UK brand), SLEEK's blusher which is the ace from this kit gives subtle glow on the cheek; its less pigmented yet more shimmering. The texture is powdery, but when applied on the cheek its getting shimmery and bit satiny frankly. Apply subtle hint of glow at the apple of the cheek to create a natural pinkish-peach blusher finish to give a healthy and radiant glow on your face. The contouring powder is okay; not so tawny nor so dark brown. The highlighter also fine for medium-dark skin tone women in South-East Asia region with a white base highlighter and a hint of yellowish undertone. Hence, I find that the color combo in this contouring kit is suitable for medium skin tone women; it is neither to dark nor too tawny. The only problem I found so far that the result seems less visible in the photo, only gives you soft hint of glow as in the swatches above yet not a strong streak of color. Overall, this product is totally satisfying for a beginner. What do you think? Have you ever tried SLEEK Face Form or any other contouring product from any other brand? ♥

    SLEEK i-Divine in "Oh So Special" (Yes, you are!)

    Hello reader, another verdict post of my current obsession for Eyeshadow Palettes. Yes! This is my first time to buy US/UK cosme brands instead of Revlon or Maybelline which is never heard or crossed my head at first; but now it becomes my current obsession. My first introduction for US/UK cosme brand comes to : 'SLEEK'.


    Yup, it's a UK brand that has been a hype for it's sleek, affordable with a great pigmentation finish among Indonesian Beauty addicts since beginning of 2012 (if I'm not mistaken.) Actually SLEEK comes in various type of products but their eminent product is the i-Divine series. Therefore, "Oh-So-Special" palette from the i-Divine series been selected as my go to product for introduction :)

    I decided to buy the "Oh-So-Special" palette for it's subtle and girly array, I don't know why but my dark-areas below my eyes is so harsh I even can't apply dark tone eyeshadow unless I put heavy foundation to correct my skin tone :( Hence, light or warm tone eyeshadow is my go-to item especially during hectic morning (duh) and else, dark or cold tone can easily show your fine-lines or dark-areas, Big nooooooo~

    After several browsing on the internet, I found a quite enticing online shop (ol) for selling US/UK brands. Mine was bought at Beautyhaul Indonesia ; they provide various soc-med for promotion FB Page, Instagram and BeautyHaul Website in which becomes their main ordering method.

    Here's their package that came as my end-of-year-self-gift *LOL*

    PHOTOS
    Their Package (Lovely Paper Wrap <3 )
    Unwrap
    Back Side
    Every SLEEK packaging comes in a typical palette packaging: Black, Sturdy, Matte and Sleek Palette in a sturdy case. The only way to differentiate the inside palette is by looking at the outer backside or description behind the case.
    Outer Palette
    Gyaaa, the inner palette or the eyeshadow palette has a great variety of pink-is tone colors ♥ Most prominent color is Pink and I can suggest you 'Gateau', 'Organza' and 'Ribbon' are definitely my fave colors ♥ 3 These photos below are taken indoor, night time without flash *gosh* so discoloration may occur.


    Meanwhile, these photos are taken against the sunlight as you can see the colors are clear but not so vivid comparing to indoor photos :)


    SWATCH
    Color swatch on my hand as I don't have primer ._. (huhuhu)
    'The Mail' is blended with my skin tone :O
    Final Result? Taa-daa~! :) I'm using 'Ribbon' only, it's so demure, right? :)
    Jidatku nonong yaaa? Maafff >.<

    PACKAGING
    One word to describe the packaging: Sleek. The case is sturdy with a matte-black finishing. Definitely handy and can be carryall all around. The mirror is attached inside the case, it's big comparing common make-up case. So, in case there's no mirror around, you can apply or retouch your make-up without worry. ♥

    TEXTURE
    Half part of the eyeshadow are Matte and others are Shimmer. Shimmer in here means fair pigmentation color with shimmering effect.

    PIGMENTATION
    I can say 'Oh-So-Special' palette is categorized as warm tone with Pink-is color array palette. Great option for warm-skin tone people. I can suggest you also to use 'Noir' as eye brow shadow in case you forget/don't have eye brow pencil. 

    FORMULA
    It's long-lasting! Build-able and great finish even though you don't apply primer before. However, primer might be needed. The Matte powder has impressive result as the Matte doesn't get cake-y or sheer like other shadows. While the Shimmer shadows are SUPER-IMPRESSIVE ♥ the color doesn't harsh like other shimmering or glittery shadows.
      
    My Verdict?
    I AM SO IMPRESSED with SLEEK eye shadow palette especially 'Oh-So-Special' as I have warm-skin tone and cold-tone like smokey eye shadow might look to harsh on me :) This palette can be used daily and also great on night-occasion. Easily to carryall and above all; Great formula and color with reasonable price :) USD 12 or around IDR 170.000 as per 2014 (excluding Shipment) Must have item for make-up beginner or simple and busy career woman. I bought mine from Beautyhaul Indonesia, price may change and 1 palette never be enough for me. Go grab one, this palette is OH-SO-SPECIAL for a SPECIAL WOMAN like you ;)
