Top Picture : Benefit , Middle Picture : Benefit on right brow , Sleek on left , Bottom Picture: Sleek

Hey everyone ! Hope your all having a nice week , today  I have a product dupe that I am really proud of not going to lie .Its the Sleek brow kit which is an amazing dupe for the Benefit Eyebrow Shaping Kit  . Sleek are a make up company that are mid price level in the make up world where as Benefit would be more on the higher price side  . I'm going to compare both these products and give my opinions on wither I think you should pay more for a better product or to save money.

Both have a mini angled brush , mini tweezers & mini brush . They also both have a small mirror .

Texture
The Benefit wax has more of a sticky waxy texture then the sleek one . I would also say that the Benefit powder has more of a dusty/chalky texture .

Pigmentation
The sleek powder & wax is slightly more pigmented .

Packaging
Both have very classy looking packaging .  Compact & easy to clean with a small mirror inside .

Colour Range
I am wearing dark in the Sleek eyebrow kit and Bronzing Medium in the Benefit kit .
Both are pretty dark and I personally don't like my eyebrows that dark but for the sake of the review I tried them out . The Benefit has more warm , ginger tones in it where is the Sleek kit is more of a solid brown colour. Sleek have four shades : Light , Dark , Extra Dark & Black .
Benefit have three : Bronzing Light , Bronzing Medium & Bronzing Dark .

Price Sleek €10.99 Vs Benefit €34
saving you €23.01 (had to add the 1cent to be precise haha )

Conclusion
Basically there the exact same just with different packaging and ever so slightly different in colour . Go with the Sleek one to save yourself €23 euro .

Sleek Highlighting Palette - Review

I really wanted to love this product but sadly didn't . I love highlighter I think its so beautiful applied on the tops of the cheekbones , the cupids bow and in the inner tear duct of your eye . Highlighter is worn to enhance a feature . There's a thin line between looking like a disco ball and having a nice healthy glow, so I am always on the look out for an amazing cheek highlight with a better price tag then the Hourglass Ambient Light palette(which I haven't splurged on just yet).

Packaging : A plus for packaging , so pretty I was like a magpie when I saw it in boots , real easy to wipe done and keep looking clean .

Layout : Four nice sized highlighters four cream highlighters : Platinum , Royal Gold , Renaissance and one powder highlight : Antique Bronze . You also get a little brush to apply the highlighter with witch could also come in handy when applying the powdered highlight as I prefer to apply the cream highlighter with my fingers .

Colour : Royal Gold and Renaissance are basically the same colour , far to similar in my opinion , they could of done with just three colours of highlight .Platinum is like a pearl coloured highlighter that would suit a paler person . The other three highlighter would be best suited for a tanner person just because there kind of on the bronzer side .

Texture : The texture of the cream highlighters is kind of greasy , but it works , it glides on your cheeks quite nicely  . The powder is bang centre between chalky and creamy which is a really nice texture .Very blendable .

Longevity : Lasted all day .

Pigmentation : The pigmentation in this product actually is pretty good in the creams and the powder.

Conclusion : There is only really one thing wrong with this products and that its more glittery the glowy . For me that's a something I hate and a big enough factor to put me off the palette . You could do worse for this price but I am determined I can find something better . I like to mix cream highlighters with some moisturiser or primer to use as an illuminator applied before my foundation or mix in with it and with this product you just cant without looking like a disco ball . I wouldn't recommend this palette because I now that there is definitely better highlights in the same price range out there .
