Sleek - blush by 3 in Pumpkin review


I AM IN LOVE!!!!

My 3rd Sleek palette and argh look at the pigmentation!!!!!!!!

The Sleek Blush by 3 palette in Pumpkin (rrp £9.99).

Basically, orange, hot pink and red: latern, squash and p pie (not in order).
Which I know sounds crazy but it works. The trick is to blend blend blend. 


I do not, i repeat I do not wear my blusher this low down but I just wanted to show you that  a gentle dab gives you colour but is not scary (I hope that doesn't look scary?)

Sleek - Face Form review


Hi Guys,

Another product I am loving - the Sleek face form palette. One of Sleek's most popular products was the Contour Kit (which I have yet to get my hands on), and that contained a contouring and highlighting powder - this is a slightly more pimped up product with the addition of a blusher/bronzer.

This retails for £9.99 (I got mine as a 3 for 2) and I got mine in the shade 'light'. The face form palette comes in 4 shades: fair, light , medium and dark. Confusingly fair and light are the same, and then medium and dark are the same. Medium and dark consists of a bronzer, highlighter and contour shade, whilst the fair and light swaps bronzer for a blusher - specifically a rose gold blush. I could have gone for the medium palette but I have a few shimmery bronzers I'm already working through so thought that the blusher would be of better value to me.

I must say, I love Sleek.. The pigmentation is amazing. The contour shade is nice and matt and works well on my colouring. I'm not very good at applying the highlight shade but I'm practising - some days I get it right, most days I look like a member of Twilight. At first I was not keen on the blusher (I made the purchase online without swatching in store - FYI that is how much I trust Sleek!) as I'm also not great with applying blusher and I thought this was too shimmery (it is a shimmery rose gold) but now that I'm use to wearing blusher I like this shade on me - and sometimes I even top it up with my other Sleek blusher shades to give it extra pop! I look like a clown but I think it's quite cute in the winter. Or maybe I look like I have swine flu. Whatever - I really enjoying using the face form palette in conjunction with my ther Sleek blush palettes.

Are you a Sleek fan? I think my aim in life is to buy all the blush palettes - dream big girls(!)

Review: Sleek blush by 3 in Sugar

Hi guys!
As mentioned in my previous post my mum gave me a blush palette - Sleek's blush by 3 palette in Sugar to be precise.
Sleek is well known for their brilliant quality and great priced make up. Their products are well known for having great colour pay off and this palette doesn't let down their reputation.
Blusher was not a part of my every day face routine previously; partly because I can't get the hang of how/where to apply it and also because red pigment blushes break me out.
My skills haven't improved and red pigments still break me out but since this was gifted and I had happened to buy a new blush brush I thought I'd give it a go....and I haven't looked back since!
I really like this palette and am tempted to buy others. I probably would not have picked this palette out myself but my mum obviously has a better eye than me cos I think these shades are good for my skin tone and perfect for autumn/winter.
Colour wise we have:
Turbinado - my favourite shade on myself - a matte orange. 

Muscovado - a shimmery bronze looking shade but with a reddy tone once applied to the face. Amazing pigmentation - but this also means you need a very very very light hand. 

Demerara - a reddy brown matte shade - I've been using this the least due to the red pigments but it is a gorgeous colour. 



Action shot of the blusher and blush brush! lol

As I've said - I love it -  a palette is usually about £10 but they're 3 for 2 at Superdrugs at the moment. Tempted to get Pumpkin and Lace, and also one of the new contour kits mmmmmm
