Product Rave: Sleek Blush

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a blush from the Sleek range at Superdrug and I can't put it down! So I wanted to do a quick rave about it! This blush costs £4.29 and for that price you get a large blush of 8g which I think is really good value. There are 10 shades in the Sleek blush collection which is quite an extensive amount so there should be something there to suit every skin tone.

I chose the blusher in Rosé Gold as I loved how it had a nice two-tone feel to it not only does it have pinky-peach tones which are great for the day, it also has a gold shimmer which I love and think is great for a night out. Obviously they come together to create a really nice and unique shade.  

The packaging is very sleek, with a Matt black case that can easily slip into your handbag or make-up bag without taking up much room. The blush also contains a mirror which is great for touch ups. The only down side is that there's no applicator, but that all depends on how you feel about the tiny brushes that are usually supplied with products. Personally, I like to use my own brush even when I'm on the move, so this is handy for me as nothing falls out and the mirror is right there for you.

After buying this blusher, I decided to do a bit of snooping and checked out the Sleek MakeUP website where they have their whole collection. What really impressed me on this website is they don't just have  swatches of the colours so you can see them, they also have the, swatches on human skin! In fair, medium and dark skin shades so you are able to see what the shade will look like on your skin before your purchase. What a great idea! Why don't more companies do this, as I think it would make buying online a lot easier.

As you can see from the image above, the colour goes on really well and leaves a nice rose colour on your cheeks along with a gold sheen that acts as a highlighter when the light catches it just right which is great for when you need a quick application and don't have time for your contouring and highlighting.

Overall, I really like this product in everything from the packaging to the colour to the payoff. I will definitely be trying out some of their other colours soon.

Have you tried any other Sleek products? What did you think?
