I think when Dee of Miss Prissypants holds a blog sale it could count as one of the events a lot of ladies in Adelaide go "squee" over! Seriously, she is way too generous and her blog sales are always exciting.
Anyway I'm not going to say much so here is what I got: Sleek palette in Jewels. This would be my very first Sleek product and I've got to say I'm somewhat disappointed. For one the palette is a lot smaller than I thought it was - everyone's photos seem to portray it as being rather normal sized but the pans are tiny! How come no one has said this before? You all led me on, sob.
Well, size aside, I guess the colors are pretty enough.
Although pigmentation wise I still don't think they're all that great as everyone says but it could just be this palette anyway. Some of the colors are rather pretty though. My favorite has to be the green in the top row, fourth shade from the left.
Here is a look with the green and the cream sort of shade on the bottom, the second last shade:
(Sorry this photo is sort of blurry but you get the gist)
And here is a look with the purple (second shade top row) and other teal green (third shade top row):
What I didn't like so much about the teal? It sort of stained and was a bit of a pain to work with.
Was still a pretty look that I just threw together in a rush. Bah, such grumpy face shots though. Oh well.
Dee was also kind enough to throw in six loose pigments! So kind of her and I'm loving the shades she's given me - they are admittedly colors I would have never chosen so it's sort of nice having them and giving them a chance instead of being a color snob!
From left to right (all are Everyday Minerals colors by the way with the exception of one): Baby Sitter, Countryside, Sweet Alice (Evil Shades color), Butterfly Kisses, Laptop, and Mistle Toe.
Super pretty! Thank you so much Dee for yet another wonderful blog sale, great shipping and the wonderful products.

Those two eye looks are so very pretty, even if the teal is hard to work with it's so nice on you! I always buy from Dee, her blog sales are a weakness of mine. Love it!
Sorry you're not so jazzed with the Sleek palette, though I am coming to the conclusion that they are one of those things that has been crazily overhyped, hence getting rid of many of mine (especially since I've barely touched most of them!). If it's any consolation, those colours really do look pretty on you.
And at least you can have fun playing with the loose shadows. :-)
emmabovary: Aw thank you so much! Yeah I know, I think I was a tad late for the last one and had this massive meltdown over missing most of the items on sale, hehe!
Dee: Aw thank you lovely, and I'm sorry I wasn't jazzed with it either! Although, to be honest that green and cream combo certainly makes up for the overall disappointment I reckon.
But yes! Thank you so much for those loose shadows! I don't have any yellows or pastel blues so it'll be fun trying to come up with looks with them.
