First off the blocks in my series of Sleek reviews is the Face Contour Kit. I got mine in the shade Light, because I am as pale as pale can be.

| Sleek Face Contour Kit - second down in the pile |
As always, the sleek Sleek packaging makes this a thing of beauty, if a little tricky to open sometimes (and don't even try to do it with drying nails). I love that the simplicity and style of their packaging makes the product seem a lot more high end than it really is, well, in my eyes anyway. I also like that there's not a lot of useless wasted packaging, which has the added benefit of it being great for travel.

| Contour kit in normal light - isn't she a beaut? |
Inside the compact there are the two shades, one matte bronzer and another pearly highlight. There's also a mirror on the inside of the compact which feels surprisingly big. It's certainly big enough for you to do your contouring without too much difficulty.
The bronzer is the perfect colour for my English Rose (read - deathly pale) skin and applies and blends beautifully. It doesn't make my face look either orange or dirty, which is always good, and it is absolutely matte with no shimmer at all. The highlight is a very fine pearly colour, with shimmer so fine it just looks like a glow, rather than big chunks of glitter on your face - nobody likes the disco ball look when you're trying to appear professional at work. It's so subtle yet effective that you can use it all over your face, in any area you want highlighting, without ending up looking like the aforementioned disco ball.

| The palette in sunshine (apparently it does happen sometimes) |
Here's the palette in direct sunlight. Slightly feeble sunlight as this is the UK, but sunlight nonetheless. This shows that the bronzer really is matte, and finish on the highlight which is a sheen rather than glittery.

I'd say the swatch doesn't really do it justice - it's one you have to see on the face to appreciate.
Overall I'd rate this product extremely highly. It has become a product I use nearly every day, and it's a complete bargain, currently just £4.47 via Amazon. Alternatively, if you prefer the high street or you can't wait for shipping, you can pick it up at Boots or Superdrug for for £6.49. Even with using it every day for probably a month, there's hardly a dent in the surface of the powder so this one will keep me going for quite some time.
I can see why this has become a cult product, I personally will be repurchasing another Face Contour Kit as and when my current product runs out.
Have you tried this, or any other products from Sleek? What did you think?
