Sleek Solstice highlighter palette | is it worth the hype?

After reading what feels like a thousand and one blogposts about the Sleek Solstice Highlighter palette, I finally own it. You have no idea how excited I am about finally trying something from Sleek. I feel like everyone has tried Sleek and I've read nothing but good things about the brand. I know there are so many reviews on this palette as it's so popular, but I wanted to share my thoughts too. I've wanted to try this for so long and I was excited to write a post on it and swatch it.

Description on Superdrug's website: This versatile face and body highlighting palette suits all skin tones and includes two baked powders, one luxurious cream formula and one silky shimmer powder.

I love the packaging of this palette. It's a gold metallic and I think it's really nice, although it shows up EVERY finger print. It has a magnetic closure and it has a mirror on the inside of the lid. Inside there is a brush, that I don't use because I use my brush that I always use for highlighter. If you don't have a highlighter brush then the brush it comes with would be handy to have. 

The palette has four lovely shades which are a cream, a shimmer powder and two baked powders. All of these shadows are very pigmented and are all so easy to apply. I absolutely love the formula of these. 

Ecliptic: Ecliptic is a rosy pink cream highlighter. I hadn't used a cream in a long time. It's the creamiest and easiest cream I've ever used. I apply this using my finger and it applies so nicely and well. This is my least highlighter used because I do prefer using powder, but it's a lovely shade and I do like it. Although it's pink, it has a white sheen once applied. 

Hemisphere: Hemisphere is a lovely lavender looking baked powder. This is one I wasn't too sure whether I was going to like because it's lavender. I tried it and I absolutely love it. Once applied, it has more of a white sheen, kind of like the Ecliptic but less subtle. This is a good formula and one of my most used shades from this palette.

Equinox: Equinox is a light peach baked highlighter. I knew I was going to like this shade. Just like Hemisphere, once applied it's more of a white sheen. This is also one of my favourite shades from this palette. 

Subsolar: Subsolar is a yellowy powder. I like the formula of this one, but it also has a white sheen to it once it's applied like all the others. I've used this a couple of times and I really like it.

All highlighters look similar when they're on, but they're pretty shades. They're long lasting and I'm really impressed with these. The palette is only £9.99 and it's definitely worth the money. I am really happy with this palette and I definitely think it's worth the hype. I'm so glad I finally tried it. Besides my ELF x Heart Defensor highlighter duo, this has become the highlighters I've been using all the time. The formulas are great, they're very pigmented and such good quality.
