Rimmel was not joking that this double ended eyeshadow and eyeliner kajal is long lasting.  It does not come off like powder or cream shadows, you need to rub quite hard to remove it.  The pigment though is AMAZING.  The kajal part is brown and goes on smooth and easy.

There is another three colour combinations along with this one.

• A brown and cream version called Queens of a Bronzed Age
• A blue and black version called Dark side of Blue
• A black and grey version called Back to Blacks

 I have just put the shadow all over my eyes with no primer or anything else under neath.  The time is now 3:06pm, I am going to aerobics this afternoon so will be interesting to see how it lasts through that.
Well that was a full on aerobic step class with heaps of sweating Yuk! But the product is still there, you can ever so slightly feel it on your skin.  The class was at 4:30pm for an hour.  I ended up removing it from my eyes at around 9pm and it was still in full effect until I did that.

• Long wearing
• Crease proof
• Transfer proof
• Sweat proof
• Stand out color
• Soft yet sturdy kajal pencil 
• No sharpening

Now you cannot blend this just incase you are wondering, it goes where you put it and that's it.  The brown kajal liner is more friendly for smudging though.  The shadow part of this product is good for pops of color on the eye adjacent to your regular liner.  Or the full eye lid, just to the crease. I would like to try it in conjuction with one of the other colors and see what that is like.  Though it is a very stand out look with these there is no hiding with this sort of sheen.



This was taken after a high intensity step aerobics class, you can see that my eyeliner has melted slightly and transferred above.  The eyeliner I am using here is the E.L.F. cosmetics and its a gel liner.

Definitely would recommend this, as it does everything it purports to do and I like the colour.  I want to learn how to do more with this type of product because there is other great brands that produce a very similar product.  I think Nars is one and people love them.

 I found Sleek MakeUP at one of the local Target stores in Perth.  There was a little display containing a variety of their products but not the entire range.  A lot of the products had been purchased which is a good sign! Most of the eyeshadow palettes in more nude colors were gone but I liked Vintage Romance so I picked this to buy.  Above is a photo from the Sleek MakeUP website showing the colors in the palette.

Here is a swatch shot of the colors on my arm that follows the shades in their sequence starting with the top left shade.  Unfortunately I lost the plastic insert which tells you the name of the colors.  So starting off with the silver shade here is the swatches.



 The colors look pretty good I would say on my skin.  I applied them on my eye to see how they translated on the eye with no primer.  Straight off I can say that the light colors are far more pigmented than the others.  They are very bright and iridescent and buildable.  They look good in the corner of the eye and as a highlight on the eye under the brow.
The purple/pink shades are not equal to the iridescent shades.  They are a little bit sheer when applied on top of an ivory shade which I used as a base.  Maybe this is because two out of the three pink/purples are iridescent.

• Applies very easily
• Inexpensive
• Good for beginners
• Can be used wet
• No smell
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians

 My favourite shade that I remembered from the plastic cover is Propose in Prague, which is a terracotta matte shade. 

Overall I think this is a great palette to experiment with colors and mix with the nudes, browns etc that we already own.  The best shades in terms of pigment are the iridescent, metallic shades.  The terracotta shade is also great.  I would definitely recommend to buy and play with.
