It was "like at first sight" when I saw this limited edition Sleek palette at Luxola's website. The rich, jewel colors were just so beautiful to look at.
I have been wanting to try the I-divine palettes because I've heard so many good things about them. I had a 30% discount code for Luxola.com so I grabbed Arabian Nights as my very first eyeshadow palette from the brand.

With a great wide range of colors, this palette would surely be an everyday staple. You can create many looks from this - subtle smokeys to rich, striking eye combinations.
Top Row Swatches of Arabian Nights | (Top) No Flash (Bottom) With Flash
Top row colors include:

Scheherazade’s Tale - light/medium beige champagne with shimmers, excellent color payoff with a creamy texture, applies smooth and creamy.

Gold Souk - a sparkly yellow gold with shimmers, good color payoff, minimal fallout despite the shimmers, applies smooth.

Aladdin’s Lamp - frosted medium brown with warm undertone, good color payoff, smooth texture, applies smooth, blends well.

Sultan’s Garden - medium soft mint green with gold shimmers, not as pigmented as other shades, abit difficult to blend and build up due to the drier texture.

Hocus Pocus - medium green-teal with silver shimmers, great color payoff, smooth and creamy texture. One of my favorites!

Simbad’s Seas - rich medium blue-purple with shimmers, great color payoff, smooth and creamy texture. My favorite shade out of the palette.

Bottom Row Swatches of Arabian Nights | (Top) No Flash (Bottom) With Flash
Bottom row colors include:

Genie - medium bronze brown with frosty shimmers, very pigmented, great color payoff, texture is soft and smooth. This color is very beautiful and intense.

Black Magic - medium gray-blue with soft shimmers, good color payoff, a bit dry but not really difficult to work with.

Stallion - medium burgundy with matte finish, a bit dry and chalky texture, good color payoff.

Sorcerer - medium blue-gray, a shade darker than Black Magic with soft shimmers, good color payoff, pigmentation is a bit sheer and not as dark as I would have wanted, a bit dry but still blendable.

Valley of Diamonds - dark burgundy wine with a bit of gold shimmers, great color payoff, applied smooth and creamy, easy to blend.

1001 Nights - deep black, semi-matte finish with a hint of shimmers, good color payoff, applied smooth, very creamy and very easy to blend.

Arabian Nights conjure images of intense, brilliant hues of the Mediterranean - sultry gypsies and sexy pirates. I especially love the shimmery goodness of the top row colors- the deep green Hocus Pocus and metallic dark blue Simbad's Seas are my favorites. The bottom row shades, on the other hand, can easily be used for everyday, subtle looks.
