I'm a week late in posting this review since I tweeted about it but here it is! This is Sleek Divine Minerals Bohemian Palette. This palette is mostly matte with three sheen shades. All the colors are completely different from the other two Sleek palettes Sunset & Circus reviewed by me. The minerals are nicely pigmented but a little more on the sheer side than the silky sheen colors probably due to the fact they are matte making this a plus for me being that I'm a huge fan of matte shades as opposed to the super sparkly formulas. The only shade I found a bit dry was that light cream color sitting between the yellow and the charcoal. There was some furious rubbing with my brush just to get a small amount of pigment to show up. There's always that one color in any palette that is so darn irritating! However they did a great job with color selection because every shade seems to be workable in combination with each other. The Bohemian name is very appropriate for this eclectic earthy palette which any women can pull off. Don't let the brightness of the pigments scare you because they have a nice sheerness to them without the heavy impression you get from tacky clownish make-up. My favorites are that gorgeous bright green-the royal blue-purple-earthy green taupe sheen and the rich burnt orange sheen. The flash of my camera dulled & washed out the richness of the pigments. They are way more lovelier in person. This set is really beautiful to have on hand allowing you to create stunning day time looks then shifting gears for nighttime exotica. Also by having twelve pigments available for you to choose from makes for a great value even if the pans are a bit on the tiny side. The case itself is a very sleek white, that includes full mirror and a nice long smudger brush. I'm glad I added it to my collection even though my favorite so far is my Sunset palette. I'm genuinely impressed with the Sleek brand not just for the value of it all but also for reasonably decent quality minerals that give a fair amount of color payoff. Stay beautiful! XOXO
