Sleek Corrector & Concealer Palette Review!

Hey there! Apparently I'm on fire this week with reviews and all! :D Well, I decided to mention this little thingy because it is amazing.

Yes, I did some damage again, but it was not that big of a damage, I had quite good offers. :) I bought a foundation(which was free), this palette, another palette(Au Naturel by Sleek), blush palette(Candy Collection by Sleek, and it was 25% off), a lipgloss(MUA, which was also free) and a gel eyeliner(Sleek as well and was 25% off also). So I saved a bit, I guess. So this intro wasn't that necessary but I just wanted to share my shopping experience :D

So, this is definitely not new from Sleek, but I haven't seen it before, so it's new for me. :D


Onto the review! I have been searching for a concealer with setting powder for so long and I found one from MeMeMe and Manhattan but every time I go crazy online shopping, neither of them is in stock. Urgh! So when I saw this the other day I had to buy it! I didn't try any face things(except Face Form, which is more cheek thingy :P) from Sleek before so I didn't knew what to expect.

One thing that surprised me a lot, is the smell. :) It smells the same as the Face Form and I don't know if it's the powder smell of the concealer things but I like it very much. It's the scent I cannot describe. Some sort of floral smell with unicorn candy(?). I don't know, I get this weird unicorn association...  Yes, I am weird. :)


FORMULA
Both cream products are super creamy and easy to blend out. They don't seem to crease into my lines so that's always a good thing. I wouldn't change much about the formula since this is the best one I tried so far(to be honest I haven't tried a lot of concealers so, that doesn't say much, does it? :D). Also it doesn't dry out my skin, although my skin is a bit on the oily side.

COVERAGE
It gives decent coverage, I wouldn't say it's the best but for someone who has not that noticeable under eye bags, this is a pretty neat concealer and corrector. Haven't tried it on any blemishes or other spots because I didn't have any. :) Yeah, pretty lucky with that. So it doesn't give full coverage - I would say medium to full. And for the time I have this product on(about 6 hours) it does its job - doesn't come off completely, stays on pretty well, covers my bags pretty much the whole time and it doesn't dry out my skin or makes it shiny/oily. :)

PACKAGING
I love this packaging. I would prefer the square pans instead of circle ones, so that the pans could be a tad bigger and therefore - more product. I love how Sleek makes their palettes. They're very sturdy and sleek, like their brand says and I love how they have a big sized mirror in every single palette(eyeshadow, blush, Face Form, Contour kit, concealer...). It gets dirty quickly so I like to keep them in the boxes they came in.

PRICE
For the amount of the each product you get is a bit expensive(gotta keep in mind I bought this from Slovenian site, where the products are bit more than original price), at least for me. I would much rather spend half of the price(bit more than half, but you do get less product) for Catrice's camouflage cream and the coverage for my under eye bags is much better. With that being said, it does come with three products which is amazing.

Overall, I like this product, it's very neat, they have more shades for darker skin tones and I love how this palette doesn't have a mix of colours so you have to mix to get the right shade but it has three products which you can use all. :) Oh, and my palette is in the lightest shade(01), thought I'd mention that. :)

Corrector, concealer, setting powder
I have a lot of freckles :( thank God you can't see them well

So here's my eye. :P You can see the difference and as I said, it covers my bags pretty well but I'd like a bit more. :) 

This is all for this review, I hope it was somewhat helpful although this is not a new product but I thought I'd say my opinion about it. :) Thank you for reading! 

Have a nice weekend.
