Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden i-Divine

The Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette launched earlier this month much to many a fan’s delight. Who doesn’t love a good i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette with a creamy, super pigmented formula?

Sleek Makeup really outdid themselves with the Garden of Eden i-Divine as this Spring palette is filled with sultry shades of earthy brown and tropical jungle greens. I’ve always had a very soft spot in my heart for greens as they pair up beautifully with brown eyes and this palette combines the most perfect shades of neutral browns with some stunning greens to enhance eyes (especially brown eyes!).

Take a look!

Housed in a slick black compact this with a generously sized mirror tucked inside this compact holds twelve eyeshadows in a range of satin, velvet, and matte shades. Every single Sleek Makeup i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette I owned never lacks pigment and this is the case with Garden of Eden as well! It packs very pigmented eyeshadows with excellent color pay off that have a creamy, velvety smooth consistency which blend easily! They apply almost like a cream shadow and blend out to a silky powder!

I’d liken the texture Stila’s single eyeshadow range as these have a very velvety creamy texture. I do find they frost up a good deal so blending well is key to avoiding too much frost. They do have some minor fall out so a cream base under them will help avoid this. There are a few mattes here as well all of which also have an excellent texture! Mattes are super silky and are a bit heavier in texture due to the amount of pigment in the shades but they still blend well and do not have a drier formula in the least. There’s so much to rave about Sleek’s eyeshadow formula one doesn’t know where to start. One of the best things about Sleek’s eyeshadow is the fact they are so true to pan color. You don’t have to layer a ton, wear primer or cream shadow, etc to add to the vibrancy and intensity of the colors. They aren’t dry or chalky and the intensity and vibrancy of the shades lasts a solid ten hours.

  • Eve’s Kiss
  • Paradise on Earth

Overall, the Sleek Makeup Garden of Eden i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette is a winner. Not only is this beautiful palette loaded with a slew of wearable Spring shades with intense pigment but it also carries a cheap as chips price tag at a mere $12! Where can you get 12 vibrant, pigmented eyeshadows in the same palette for that price?

    I love the jungle leaves you put onto the palette in the first photo!! 🙂 I bet you had too much fun playing with it to get it just right!

    The greens make your eyes so beautiful and warm 🙂 Greens are one of the only colors that just don’t work on me!

  • Robin

    I’ve been looking at this one and the Vintage Romance. Vintage is pretty plums, but only available thru Amazon and shipping is pricey for the palette. I may cave on both of them!!!

  • Let

    Evergreen might be the muted green I’ve been looking for.
    Which one is the matte brown, Entwined or Flora? (I think Flora, based on the pan photo, but I saw residual shimmer on both swatches so I’m not sure).

    • Isabella Muse

      sorry just left over shimmer from swatching with same applicator let but both flora and entwined are mattes.

      • Let

        No worries! Good to know that both are mattes. 🙂
        Thank you for the quick reply! Will definitely order the palette soon–probably this weekend.

    Evergreen, Fauna and Tree of Life are so stunning! It’s not often I come across emerald-y greens that are fully pigmented. Often deep greens that I get excited about are actually just black eyeshadows with green shimmer or glitter that looks much more obvious in the pan than on the skin…

    I am dying to try some Sleek eyeshadows… *sigh*

  • Kat

    This is even more stunning than I imagined! This and the new Californ-I-a blush palette are very tempting.

  • Sara

    I can’t wait to get mine! This might be my new all time favorite palette (which would be displacing Naked 1!). I have red hair and green eyes, so these colors are pretty much handpicked for me! Add to that the $12 price tag and I’ve hit the jackpot. I ordered it the day after it was released, so I’m hoping it turns up any day now.

  • Rekha

    I ordered mine from Sleek when it launched, hopefully it will get here (to California) soon! So pretty, thanks for swatching but now I’m even more impatient!

  • melissa

    I couldn’t agree more! This was my first sleek product and I’m hooked. I am a fellow brown eyed girl and I love all the colors in the group. Excellent review – you summed it up nicely.

  • Ashley

    I love the look you created! I don’t wear green, but this palette looks really pretty!

  • Gabby

    Beautiful palette & even more beautiful eyes Muse! I know I don’t need another e/s palette right now…but wow this is so tempting 😀

  • Meghan

    This palette is so gorgeous! I purchased this on Amazon and its only $9.99…although with shipping its almost the same price as it is on Sleek’s website. I had an issue with purchasing mine through Sleekmakeup.com. My transaction was declined by my bank because I think this is a British website. I had the same issue when I tried to purchase from lush.co.uk (when you do that its cheaper somehow!) Of course, I didn’t have any issues purchasing from Amazon. Thanks for the review!

  • Trisha

    Gates of Eden, Eve’s Kiss, Paradise on Earth

    Those shades remind me of some of the shades in the Naked 3 palette. Buzz, Trick, and Liar.

  • lyn

    I didn’t think I’d need another Sleek palette but you’ve changed my mind. Gorgeous palette and so perfect for Spring too. Love how you did your eyes!

  • cat

    These colors scare me but I’ll be on the lookout for other Sleek palettes now. Muse, have you ever thought about doing tutorials… preferably video tutorials?

    • Isabella Muse

      They have quite a few to choose from Cat. Naa not really, I’m not really an expert at application!

  • Ritu KT

    I really wanted the sunset, storm and (now) Garden of Eden palette!
    I was doing a research for the best Sleek palettes to try and after spending more than an hour on that and another in selecting things on Amazon in my budget, I found out they do not ship to South Korea where I am atm or to my homeland! 🙁 I do not shop online much so it never occurred to me that something like this could happen!

    I recently purchased the sleek “acid” palette and am in love with it!! I play with it daily, and have found that the olive green color looks great with my olive green eyes. I just ordered this palette 10 minutes ago based on this review and because of all the lovely greens that I just figured out look nice on me. Im sure I will love this…I was sooo impressed with the acid palette, the colors were very pigmented, easy to work in with and still going strong after a 10 hour work day! Sigh, sleek will be making A LOT of money TN off me in the future if they keep up the great work.
