Sleek Make Up Highlighting Palette // Precious Metals in 029 // + Highlights In My Hair :)

Hello guys! I've been so busy lately and what irritates me the most is that sometimes, oftentimes to be honest- wish I was an octopus so everything planned in my mind could be done. But that's simply not the case, so blog is the one suffering. Maybe that's way strong to say... Anyway, today we are going to enjoy in another one of Sleek's beauties. You had a chance to read all about Sleek's blush in Pomegranate and Sleek's Lipstick in Matte Pink Freeze, and today I'm sharing few thoughts about Sleek's Highlighting Palette from Precious Metals collection in shade 029.

This palette is my first one if we're talking about highlighters. I am usually buying those in separate, so called- mono containers.

The packaging: the palette is placed in a lovely, solid cardboard box that contains all the information about the product (palette shade, directions of application, ingredients and few more). So basically, it's just like with other Sleek products. This palette contains 4 different shades of highlighters in 2 different textures and weighs 9gr/0.32 oz.

Pozdrav ljudi! U poslednje vreme baš sam zauzeta i ono što me najviše iritira je činjenica da ponekad, zapravo često- poželim da sam oktopod kako bih napravila sve ono što sam u glavi zamislila :) No kako to nije moguće, blog je taj koji često pati. Možda je ''patnja'' pretežak izraz, ali znate na šta mislim. Kako bilo, danas ćemo zajedno uživati u još jednoj Sleek lepoti. U poslednje vreme imali ste priliku pročitati utiske o Sleek rumenilu u nijansi Pomegranate i o Sleek ružu za usne u nijansi Matte Pink Freeze, a danas sa vama delim nekoliko misli o Sleek-ovoj Highlighting paleti iz Precious Metals kolekcije u nijansi 029.
Ovo je moja prva paleta highlighter-a, s obzirom da ih inače kupujem kao pojedinačne proizvode u mono pakovanju.
Pakovanje: paleta je smeštena u lepu, elegantnu i čvrstu kartonsku kutijicu na kojoj se nalaze sve informacije o proizvodu (nijanse, uputstvo za nanošenje, sastojci, gramaža itd.). Dakle, potpuno slično kao i kod ostalih Sleek ambalaža. Ova paleta sadrži 4 različite nijanse highlighter-a u 2 različite teksture i teži 9grama.

The palette is made of solid plastic in dark coppery color and has the smoked mirrors effect- meaning, you can see your reflection in it, but not as clearly as in the real mirror. I am the queen of explaining :) The top lid of the palette is decorated with elegant and clean Sleek's logo. What I liked about the packaging is the fact it looks so luxury and beautiful, but at the same time the mirror surface is an oasis for fingerprints. So if you are anything like me, you'll be cleaning this babe all the time. 

Shades: as I mentioned before, palette is hiding 4 beautiful, complementary shades of gold made in creamy and powdery textures. Creamy shades are: Platinum (icy, cold, shimmery cream that is perfectly highlighting cheekbones and a brow bones), Royal Gold (amazing honey-gold shade that I fell in love with instantly), Renaissance Gold (similar to Royal Gold, but more golden/yellow and definitely the shade that will be noticed), and the powdery shade is named Antique bronze- it can be used as bronzer (I am not using it like that since it contains glitter), or as a blusher (that looks awesome). 
All shades are so easy to apply (with fingertips, or with the brush) and blend. What I liked is the fact you can manage the coverage and the highlighting effect by applying small amount for sheer, elegant look, or build it up in layers for more dramatic, shiny look. 

Paleta je izrađena od čvrste plastike u tamnoj bakarnoj boji koja odaje efekat zadimljenih ogledala- što bi značilo da je ambalaža poput ogledala, smo što je refleksija mrvicu ''zadimljena'' zbog tog efekta. I od sad me zovite kraljicom objašnjavanja :) Poklopac palete ukrašen je elegantnim i čistim logom Sleek-a. Ono što mi se posebno dopada kod pakovanja je činjenica da izgleda zaista luksuzno i prelepo, ali je ujedno i oaza za otiske prstiju. Ako ste i malo poput mene, spremite se na konstantno brisanje ove lepotice.

Nijanse: kao što sam gore spomenula, paleta sadrži 4 predivne, komplementarne nijanse zlatne izrađene u kremastoj i puderastoj teksturi. Kremaste nijanse su: Platinum (ledena, hladna, shimmerasta kremasta nijansa koja savršeno naglašava jagodične kosti i kosti ispod obrva- luk obrva), Royal Gold (prekrasna medeno zlatna nijansa u koju sam se odmah zaljubila), Renaissance Gold (vrlo slična prethodnoj nijansi, no mrvicu više zlatna/žuta i definitivno nijansa uz koji ćete biti primećeni), i puderasta nijansa koja nosi ime Antique Bronze- može se nositi kao bronzer (ja osobno ne volim bronzere sa šljokicama, pa je ne koristim na taj način) ili kao rumenilo (koje izgleda fenomenalno kad se izblenda).

Sve nijanse su vrlo lagane za nanošenje i blendanje (bilo da koristite tehniku nanošenja prstima ili kistom). Ono što mi se dopada je mogućnost prilagođavanja intenziteta i efekta. Nanešen u maloj količini ovaj highlighter deluje čisto, elegantno, no ukoliko volite dramatičniji, sjajniji look- bez problema možete postići i jaču pokrivenost. 

I like using creamy shades during all seasons, except Summer since my skin is combined/mixed and I don't feel well wearing creamy... well anything during Summer. But these days, while it's still Winter-ish cold, I feel safe and gladly wearing them. I didn't notice creasing of the product inside wrinkles and pores, and it lasts up to 6 hours without fading. You can see the swatches below- on my hand and face, on daylight, inside (because it was a bit too windy to go outside).

Kremaste nijanse volim koristiti tokom cele godine, no izbegavam ih leti s obzirom da je moja koža kombinovana, pa se ne osećam ugodno sa bilo kakvim kremastim proizvodom na licu tokom vrućina. No ovih dana dok su još uvek zimski niže temperature, osećam se sigurno i rado ih nosim. Nisam primetila da se kremaste nijanse nakupljaju u boricama i porama, a na mom licu traju do 6 sati bez skidanja ili bledenja. Na slikama ispod možete videti i swatcheve nastale na dnevnom svetlu, unutra, s obzirom da je ovih dana toliko vetrovito i ne mili mi se slikati se vani :) Swatchevi su slikani na ruci i na licu (uzmite u obzir da nisam nanosila veliku količinu proizvoda).

Conclusion: another lovely product from Sleek. I am glad I've purchased this palette since the shades are so complementary and wearable. If you are just starting with make up and everything beauty related, maybe you should think about if you need all 4 shades, but I highly recommend this one as a perfect solution for more options. The price of this palette is 11,99€ and you can order it on Sleek's official web page. 

I wanted to share with you one more thing. Few days ago Sun finally came up after few ugly days of rain and wind, so I was inspired to change something with the hair. Yesterday my lovely hairdresser and moi :) decided to put some highlights on... whatever color my hair was (mostly colorful)- so ladies and gentlemen this is my new style-O fancy named balayage :) Hope you like it as much as I do :) That's all folks! Read y'all next time ;)

Zaključak: još jedan divan proizvod od Sleek-a. Drago mi je da sam kupila ovu paletu s obzirom da sadrži komplementarne i nosive nijanse. Ukoliko ste na početku svog makeup ''staža'' razmislite da li vam je potrebna baš paleta highlightera (napominjem zbog cene i ograničenog budžeta, a kako se granica za početak šminkanja drastično spustila... razmislite), no ja je svakako preporučujem kao idealno rešenje za sve tipove kože i tonove kojima pristaju zlatne i bakarne nijanse. Cena palete je 11,99€ i može se kupiti na Sleek-ovoj zvaničnoj stranici.

Poželela sam s vama podeliti još jednu novost. Naime, pre nekoliko dana napokon se pojavilo Sunce, nakon grozne sedmice kiše, sivila i vetra, pa sam dobila inspiraciju za promenom glede frizure, kose. Juče smo divna frizerka i ja odlučile poigrati se sa ''Sun kissed'' pramenovima na mojoj... pa ne mogu tačno odrediti kakvoj boji kose (uglavnom šarenoj). Dame i gospodo, sa zadovoljstvom vam pokazujem novu fancy boju poznatiju i kao balayage tehniku izvlačenja pramenova :) Nadam se da vam se dopada koliko i meni. I to bi bilo to! Do narednog čitanja, puno vas pozdravljam :)
