Sleek Molten Metal Review and Swatches- Steel and Ash

So another Sleek Review!
This is on this duo of cream eyeshadows. Now this one I'm a little bit on the fence about. The duo of colours fits very well together, both are sort of varying shades of a gunmetal colour. 
These blend really well and as a theme with all Sleek products, they are highly pigmented and therefore not much product is needed at all. 

Applied with a synthetic flat shader brush or a clean ring finger is ideal, it can be blended with a brush or q-tip very easily. This has to be the best way for a quick, chic smokey eye or for a one shade eye look. 

The colours, if well blended do set, but obviously with any creams they do crease after extended wear. I have worn these with UDPP and they do last quite a long time on their own, set with a similar powder, they last even longer. 

Compared to something like the Maybelline colour tattoo cream eyeshadows, they are very comparable, although the colour tattoo's do last a little longer on the lids. 

Overall they are pretty good, would I go out and buy another one, maybe not. I by no means regret buying this but Sleek only offers one other duo in the moltel metal creams in more of the gold family, which could be nice but I am not too desperate to pick up another one of these. 

Swatch with flash

 As you can see, these are highly pigmented, I only used the smallest swipe of each colour.
