The latest Sleek Garden of Eden palette is inspired by nature and the tropical jungle.
Launched for Spring 2014, the palette features 12 shades of earth toned browns, dusky purples and rich greens.
The palette is permanent, the special snake skin outer packaging is limited edition.
The frost colours are soft, have good pigment and are easy to blend. The matte shades are harder to work with and the finish is much more sheer.
All of the shades were applied to my inner arm dry.

Gates of Eden - gold, frost finish. Soft with good pigment but blended into the colour of my arm! It actually comes out more gold, almost copper orange on my lid.
Eve's Kiss - mauve pink, frost finish. Soft texture and good pigment. This one is great in the inner duct.
Paradise on Earth - taupe brown, frost and more metallic finish. Very soft and really pigmented. One of my favourite colours in the palette, beautiful on the lid.
Python - chocolate brown, frost metallic finish. Very soft and pigmented. My favourite brown in the palette, works well in the crease.
Forbidden - light grey-taupe with subtle gold shimmer. I found it the hardest to work with. It is soft but you have to build it, a lot. It has a matte but almost chalk like finish which gets darker when blending.
Flora - warm-toned brown with a matte finish. Gets darker when blending as you can tell. Much warmer on the lid though and has good pigment. Great for adding smoke to your look.

Entwined - cool matte brown with gold shimmer. Took a lot to get the colour out and I noticed that it has a similar finish to Forbidden, but I like this one better.
Adam's Apple - light matte powdery green. It has a very soft texture, the finish is sheer and chalky. It didn't do too badly as a base colour.
Fig - golden green with a frost metallic finish. Less soft but good pigment. Really nice in the inner duct.
Evergreen - minty green with a frost metallic finish. Like fig, it is less soft and has good pigment.
Fauna - frosty green with a metallic finish. Very soft builds to a high pigmented shimmer. My second favourite green in the palette. It works really well with Paradise on Earth and Python.
Tree of Life - deep forest green with a matte finish. The pigment is intense. My favourite green in the palette and great shade for smokey eyes.
I love the colour combination in this palette. The greens work really well with both the purples and brown shades.
This palette can be worn everyday, builded for a more intense look or instantly made smokey with Flora and Tree of Life.
It is certainly a palette I will be travelling with.
