Sleek Palette In Chaos

Yesterday, I decided to pop into town to go shopping as I heard New look is having a massive sale on. (More about that later).
First I needed to go into Superdrug to get a few bits and bobs. I was walking past the sleek counter and I really wanted to get the sleek palette in chaos and there new neon palette(not to sure what it's called). But guess what? They were all sold out :(. So I carried onto the til and saw the sign Clearance and decided to check it out, I saw load and loads of stuff from there and guess what I found?? THE SLEEK PALETTE IN CHAOS THAT I WANTED WOOHOO!
But one of the eye shadows was broken, but it didn't bother me at all, so here is the palettes.

BTW THE E/S IN THE PALETTE ARE ALL MATTE.




The sleek palette was supposed to be £4.87 but because one of the eye shadows is broken it was only £2.50 Bargain.



Here are all the Eye shadows, there are 12.
Here are the swatches, they are very pigmented.
And here is the Broken eyeshadow :(.

Beautyuk Eye Shadow Collection Review

So hi everyone, sorry i haven't posted in a while, so i thought i would do a quick review on some very cheap palettes. Beauty UK Eye Shadow Collection Palettes are extremely cheap, they are sold in Superdrug for £2.99. There are four palettes, the only thing i do not like about these palettes is that they do not have names they only have numbers. So i decided to make up names for each of the four palettes.
1- Pastels
2- Brights
3- Glitters
4- Neutrals

Here is number 1. aka Pastels palette, they are very pigmented, which is amazing for the price you pay of £2.99 whereas I have some MAC eyeshadow that are not even as pigmented as these.

Here is Palette 1 a.k.a Pastels.

This is what the palettes looks like, there are 10 eye shadows for £2.99


Here are the swatches of the colours, they are so pretty. My favourite ones from this palette are the two green/mint colours and the browns.



Here is palette 2 a.k.a Brights :)


This palette is my favourite, I love everyone single one of these colours, This palette is SUPER pigment and if you like bright colours i recommend you get these if your on a budget.
My Favourite colours from this palette are all of them, the only on that can be slightly chalky is the yellow, i normally wear the yellow in my inner corner to make my eyes look bright and bigger.


Here is the palette 3 a.k.a Glitters.

This palette is so pretty, I love using this palette, the finish of these eye shadows remind me of lustre/frost from MAC.


Here are the swatches of the eye shadows, they do not come out too glittery. The pinks and blues are so nice.Here is the Palette 4 a.k.a Neutrals.

When i travel, from home I more than likely take this palette, one because it's easy to do quite a few looks with it. This palette is best if your a neutral type person.

Here are the Swatches of this palette, the white makes a lovely high light for the brow bone.

So to be honest, these palettes are a bargain, every time i go into my Superdrug they never have any in stock, which shows that they are quite good. I would also recommend these if your just starting out with makeup, because they work really well.

Have any of you every tried these palettes? What do you think of them?
