Sleek Makeup Oh So Special Palette Review, Swatches, Photos
What can I say? The Sleek Makeup Oh So Special i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette it’s OH SO SPECIAL!
I’m loving nudes and naturals in my makeup life lately. Yeah, somewhere down the road, I got boring…sorry kids, but it’s all about the nudes for me and the Sleek Makeup Oh So Special Palette brings it to the table and does it well.
Love!

A 12 pan mineral eyeshadow palette!
From what I understand the Sleek Makeup Oh So Special Palette was created for Sephora (not within the US) but was later released as a standard part of the Sleek Makeup Collection. Thank god this isn’t LE as I can easily see myself hitting pan on some of these shades.
Some of the perks of Sleek Makeup Palettes are the variety in such a smaller, travel friendly palette plus the budget price tag. At $12.60 you can’t complain about the quality, presentation, and overall performance of this palette. It’s a Fall must have in my humblest, you NEED it. Browns, subtle pinks, creams, and beiges all make up a killer palette for warm, rich eye looks for Fall or anytime.
As I mentioned above part of the awesome that is Sleek would be the great packaging. The i-Divine Palettes are a slim line case that will fit easily into your makeup bag and travel safely. Inside you’ll find twelve wells of shadow and a full size mirror. Each palette features a sponge applicator and shadow wells that are about the size of a quarter.
Some of the i-Divines I own from past collections do not have shadow names however the Oh So Special Palette has a name for each shadow.
You get:
- Bow: (matte cream)
- Organza (pale, dusty pink with a frosty shimmering finish)
- Ribbon (Peachy pink matte)
- Gift Basket (Bronzey brown shimmer)
- Glitz (Pewter blu-ish gray)
- Celebrate (Plum)
- Pamper (Pale, peachy pink)
- Gateau (Dusky light plum)
- The Mail (Traditional beige nude)
- Boxed (Chocolate brown matte)
- Wrapped Up (Plum matte)
- Noir (Pure black matte)
The colors are a nice mix of light to dark so you can go with a soft, subtle eye look or a deeper, sultry one. Six of the shades lean towards the lighter side and six towards the darker. I find Sleek does shadow formulas beautifully even when it comes to matte finishes. The mattes are finely milled, blend easily, and offer great color pay off but of course, the real joy is the more shimmering/frosty shades which have a buttery smooth velvet feel that blend beautifully on lids with full color pay off. These pigment rich eyeshadows are quite stunning for the price range and are on par with Stila Eyeshadows or dare I say even better! They wear very well without fading or creasing. Color remains true on lids even without the aid of a solid primer.
I dunno about you but I hate frosty finishes and Sleek Makeup i-Divines do come across a tad frosty. To prevent the frost from getting too crazy I make sure to apply a solid base on my eye and blend, blend, blend…this is key to taming the frostiness of some of the shades.
- Anyone looking for a budget friendly palette with a variety of rich shadows plus some lighter ones.
- Those who like Stila’s Eyeshadow formula (these have the same buttery, velvety feel).
- Those wanting an easy to travel with palette with gorgeous natural and nude shades.
- Those who aren’t keen on airmail, shopping online, etc..(Sleek Makeup is a UK brand which ships to the US).
Oh So Special really is quite special. I found the palette kept things light with sweet shades of universal peachy pink but also brought things into a more sophisticated sultry level with warm, rich browns and plums! The palette works either way to create a day or evening look. The shadow formula is a thrilling mix of buttery velvets and easy to blend mattes with excellent color pay off plus the budget friendly price tag is hard to overlook!
This one was a winner for me.
Loves it! Quite Muse Approved for purchase.

Sleek Makeup ships to the US but shipping can be costly so I suggest pairing up with another makeup loving friend to split the cost or order a few items so you even up on the shipping!
