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?!

Collective Drugstore Haul - Sleek, Bourjois, Real Techniques + more

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

I've done some shopping lately and thought I'd show you some exciting things I've managed to pick up.

The last few weeks my obsession for makeup seem's to have come back in full swing so I've been on the hunt for a few products that I've been wanting to give a try.

Firstly I picked up a  Real Techniques Brush this one being the Blush Brush. It's gorgeous! I bought it from Amazon for around £7!! Bargain. 

Whilst in Superdrug the other day, I picked up the MUA Ever After Palette which is their first ever all Matte Palette. I have to say I'm not too impressed with this so far but I'll be doing a review soon to tell you my exact thoughts. 

While in ASDA I managed to Grab a 60ml bottle of Alien Aqua Chic by Thierry Mugler for just £25!! It must have been on clearance! Make sure you check in your local ASDA as soon as, to see if they have any other fragrances on super clearance! 

I also picked up the Herbal Essences Moisture Balance Shampoo and Conditioner for Normal Hair. 

As I've been loving the Bee Strong Shampoo and Conditioner lately, I also bought the Bee Strong Intensive Hair Mask to see if it's as good as the other herbal essences hair masks I've tried! 

I also picked up a new bottle of my favourite drugstore foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix! As usual there was a deal going on in Superdrug, If you bought £10 worth of Bourjois products you got a free liner, Obviously the foundation came in at £9.99 but as my mam also wanted to try the foundation, I ended up getting the free liner! I was expecting much but I actually really like it. It's the Liner Feutre in Noir. 

Now for my most exciting purchases!!

So nearly a year ago I picked up my first Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace, I've been loving it ever since and I've finally bought some more! 

From left to right : Pink Sprint, Sweet Cheeks and Pumpkin. 

Pink Sprint (I Always want to say "Spirit" for some reason) Is a palette with 3 matte pinks. It has one of the most brightest blushes I've ever owned called Pink Ice. 

Sweet Cheeks is from the Candy Collection and includes one cream blush, one matte blush and one shimmer blush. All in gorgeous candy colours!

Pumpkin is the palette I've wanted ever since these came out but I was too much of a wuss and picked the lace up instead. It contains one shimmer blush, one sheen blush and one matte blush. 

All the Sleek blushes are highly pigmented and a steal at just £9.99 each!! 

So that's everything I bought recently. I do have some more things coming in the post so I'll probably have another Haul post soon :-) 

I can't wait to review some of these products! 

Have you tried the Sleek Blush By 3 palettes? Which one is your favourite?

REVIEW - Sleek Blush By 3 - Lace Palette

Hiya Ladies!

I'm reviewing a Sleek product today! 

One of their Blush By 3 palettes that I've wanted for ages :-) 

The palette I picked was Lace! 

The palette comes boxed in this gorgeous packaging that shows a image of what the blushes inside look like.

The palette is smaller than what I thought It would be but you is packed full of product (20g Worth!) so I'm not upset and it's quite handy for when travelling!  

These blushes are so richly pigmented that I just have to touch my blush brush to them and that's enough, because of this my favourite brush to use with this palette is the ELF Studio Blush Brush as it's very soft and blends the product nicely. 

From Left to Right : Chantilly, Guipure and Crochet.

Chantilly and Crochet are both matte shades whilst Guipure is a gorgeous shimmer shade on the verge of being a highlighter. 

You can wear each shade on its own or layer to make a totally different look.

I love how natural the matte colours can look on the skin, when blended well they give a gorgeous pop of colour to the cheeks. 

Guipure is a beautiful shimmer blush that looks stunning on the cheekbone. 

I find that my favourite way to use this palette is to take one of the matte shades, I switch between them regularly, and place them on the apples of my cheeks and then run Guipure on the cheek bone as a highlight. 

These blushes have great lasting power, just as good as any high end  blushes I've ever used. 

I'm in love with the palette and I would definitely be buying more blushes from Sleek in the future. 

I really want to pick up the Pumpkin palette from Sleek next as the colours look amazing! 

Have you tried any Sleek blushes? 

I'd love to have some suggestions!
