Sleek Cleopatra's Kiss Highlighting Palette Review





Sleek's Cleopatra's Kiss highlighter palette contains four highlighter shades: two powder shades in rose gold and pink and two cream shades in bronze and gold. The palette also comes with a small black flat brush, but I've been using my fingers to apply the cream highlighters and a large fluffy eye shadow blush for the powder highlighters. The gold packaging gives it a luxurious feel and the palette is quite compact and therefore it's easy to travel with. 




This palette is quite glittery, so if you're not a fan of glitter this isn't the palette for you. The pink powder highlighter is basically silver glitter without any colour pigment to it. The gold cream highlighter looks like a champagne gold in the swatch but is actaully a true yellow gold and doesn't have much pigment just gold glitter. The bronze and rose gold shades show up well but they are quite similar in colour. The cream highlighters are marketed as lightweight and they do feel creamy and lightweight on the skin.

Sleek's highlighting palettes are popular but I've always steered away from them as the cream highlighters contain ozokerite wax, which isn't bad or toxc in anyway but I've found that when it's in cream blushers it makes the red patches on my cheeks sting. However since highlighters are generally placed higher up than blusher this wasn't a problem.

I think £9.99 is a good price for a four shade highlighter palette with a mix of different textures  but I wouldn't choose this one because of the glitter and the lack of pigment. The bronze and rose gold show up well but they are similar in colour. Using these shades means I would only use 50% of the palette on a regular basis. I would recommend you buy the Sleek Face Contour Kit instead, while you only get one highlighter it's a lovely champagne gold that's pigmented and free from glitter. As for Sleek's Highlighter palette in Cleopatra's Kiss -I do think that ther are better highlighter palettes on the market.
