REVIEW - Sleek - Blush By 3 Palettes :-)


Hullo Lovely Ladies!

As you may be able to tell from the image below, I have a slight obsession with the Sleek Blush By 3 palettes :-) 



With good reason though, each one I buy I grow more and more in love with the collection. 

Each blush is pigmented, smooth and long lasting. 



Pink Lemonade Palette

From Left to Right - Pink Ice, Macaroon and Icing Sugar

Includes two shimmer blushes and one matte cream blush. 

Pink Ice is a super shimmery light pink, Macaroon a gorgeous mid tone pink blends beautifully and Icing Sugar gives a beautiful rose gold glow.


Pink Sprint Palette

From Left To Right - Pink Parfait, Pink Ice and Pinktini

Includes three bright matte blushes.

Pink Parfait is an extremely pigmented dark pink, Pink Ice is just as pigmented but more of a Fuchsia pink and Pintini is a muted plumy pink the can look subtle on the cheeks ore built up. All three look scary in the pan but with a careful hand can look beautiful on any skin tone. 


Flame Palette

From Left To Right - Furnace, Bon Fire and Molton.

Includes two matte and one shimmer blush. 

Another scary looking palette but beautiful none the less, Furnace is my favourite as it's the easiest to wear, I don't have to worry about it being too bright as it gives a subtle "just in from the cold" look. Bon Fire is a stunning bright red that looks amazing when applied to the apples of the cheeks lightly with a stippling brush. It's my go to night out blush. Molton is a stunning red with a beautiful gold shimmer running through it.


Californ.I.A Palette

From Left To Right - OC, The Surf and Newport Peach 

Includes three cream blushes, two matte and one shimmer.

This is sleeks first all cream blush palette and it's also my newest edition to my collection but I've been using it constantly these last few weeks, it's a great palette for the summer. The colours are all very fresh and bright. 


Lace Palette

From Left to Right - Crochet, Guipure and Chantilly.

Includes two matte shades and one shimmer. 

Lace was the first blush by 3 palette I bought and I used it constantly for months, I also took it away on holiday with me for a week and it was perfect! Crochet and Chantilly are beautiful summer mattes that look gorgeous on the cheeks and Guipure is rose gold blush which is actually what the Sleek dupe of it is called. 



Sweet Cheeks Palette

From Left To Right - Cupcake, Dollymix and Candy Floss

Includes one matte cream blush and one matte and one shimmer powder blushes. 

A stunning palette for those who love pink! Cupcake is a matte cream blush that is so pretty and doll like on the cheeks, Dollymix is an unusual lavender pink which I absolutely adore and Candy Floss is a pretty bright pink.


Pumpkin Palette

From Left To Right - P Pie, Squash and Lantern.

Includes one shimmer and two matte blushes. 

This is one of my favourite palettes, it's such a fun mix of colours. P Pie is a gorgeous shimmery coral red, Squash is a bubblegum pink and Lantern is a bright matte orange. 

As you can tell, I highly recommend these palettes! 

Some of them do have dupes that are in the permanent line but mostly they are dupes for limited edition shades that you can't get anymore which I think is a great thing because I was gutted I never picked up a few of them! 

They cost around £9.99 each from places like Superdrug, Boot's and Amazon :-) 

Have you tried the Sleek blush palettes? Which are your favorites?

REVIEW: Sleek - Blush By 3 - Pumpkin

Hullo Ladies!

Recently I bought three of the Sleek Blush By 3 palettes and today I'll be reviewing Pumpkin which is one that's been on my Wishlist for over a year.


When I first heard about the Blush By 3 palettes, Pumpkin was the one that really called out to me and after reading reviews after reviews of it I knew that I needed it in my life.

Then when I finally found a Sleek Counter I chickened out and went for Lace instead that looked easier to use. 



Although I love Lace and used it well since last April I was still gutted that I didn't pick up Pumpkin too. 



Pumpkin comes with three blushes - One that's shimmer, One that's Satin and One that's Matte. 



Like all Sleek Packaging it comes in a thin matte black casing that's easy to travel with and is also very durable. 


P Pie is the first shade and it's a red coral with gold shimmer 

Squash is a blue toned pink with a gorgeous sheen.

Lantern is a bright orange matte. 


I couldn't find a dupe for P Pie.

I did notice that Squash is a dupe for the Sleek Single Blush I own called Flamingo. 

After looking online a lot of bloggers say that Lantern is a dupe for the Limited Edition blush that sleek came out with called Aruba. I was gutted I missed out on Aruba so I was delighted to here that a dupe of it was in this palette. 


Blended.

After using this palette for a few weeks I'm delighted to say it's as pigmented and long lasting as all the other Sleek blushes I own. 

They last all day on me and although the colours can look scary in the palette as long as you learn how much of a light hand you need then they can look amazing on any skin tone. 


I'm so happy I finally bought this palette, this and the other Blush By 3 palettes are my 'go to' blushes lately! 

Have you tried the line? Which one is your favourite?!
