Sleek Blush by 3 'Sweet Cheeks'

Sleek Blush by 3

Blusher Palette

Sweet Cheeks

£10.00

I'm not 100% sure if this is limited edition or now a permanent fixture to the Sleek line up but I do know I like it...

The Sleek blusher palettes are perfect if you're looking to add some new blusher shades to your collection but don't want to shell out too much hard earned cash

£10 for three full sized blusher pans is bloody good value, coming in it at £3.33 a blusher

They are extremely good quality for the price point and I highly recommend giving them a go 

In this palette you get a cream blusher in Cupcake, a matte blush in Dollymix and a shimmer finish blusher in Candyfloss

This is the first time I've ever tried a Sleek cream blusher and have to say I'm very much impressed, extremely pigmented, easy to blend, lasts well on the skin

everything you would want from a cream blusher in my eyes

The other two blushers are both powder, one a matte finish and one a shimmer

The shimmer shade, Candyfloss, is a bright pink leaning to more coral tones

As these are so pigmented a light hand is definitely needed when applying these blushers so as not to look like a clown! But that does also mean the product will last forever

The matte shade, Dollymix, is much more lilac and something I've never tried

This translates quite subtley to the skin, being matte it doesn't highlight any large pores unlike shimmer shades and is therefore very flattering on

I would imagine this palette would be good for all skin tones as the colours would look amazing on both fair and dark colourings

Have you tried any of the Sleek blusher offerings before?

Sleek Blush By 3 in 'Lace'

Sleek Blush by 3 blusher trio 

Lace

£10.00

Recently I bought the blush by 3 in the shade Pumpkin and straight away knew I wanted to pick up the shade Lace as well

Unfortunately when I initially purchased it there was the Pumpkin palette in the Lace box... I only realised this when I got it home to take photos for the blog

I was pretty gutted as I couldn't wait to use it and put it on here

It took me around a week to manage to get back into Superdrug and get it swapped over

The customer sales assistant looked at me like I was some kind of criminal when I said I wanted to swap it as it was wrong, not exactly my fault the wrong product was in the box

Anyway... The shades are gorgeous and to me much more wearable than Pumpkin

I find bright blushers intimidating but these are easing me in gently, I guess the trick is a light hand which I'm now mastering

As the shades are all so pigmented you only need to swipe your brush on the surface lightly and you've got enough for your apples of your cheeks

It's easier to build up colour than to take it away after all

In the swatches I have heavily applied the shades on my arm

The first colour is a matte orange, normally this wouldn't get used but I find myself reaching for it on horrid, rainy mornings to add a bit of colour to my cheeks. Perks me up straight away

The middle colour is very similar to the Rose Gold shade which is deemed a dupe for Nars' infamous blusher Orgasm. I have Orgasm in my collection and will admit it's similar but not the same. Orgasm will forever be my favourite blusher but now I have something so similar I won't use it as much as I was...I don't have £20 to be spending on blushers on a regular basis after all!

The third colour is a lovely rich, coral. It seems darker than a traditional coral, even rose toned. It's a hybrid shade and again with a light hand this looks gorgeous 

I love this palette overall and think it's such good value for £10.00 you get three great shades

Have your tried the blush by 3 palettes?

Sleek Blush by 3 in 'Pumpkin'

Blush by 3 Blusher Palette

in 'Pumpkin'

Sleek ~ £10.00

(L-R) P Pie, Squash, Lantern

The colours and names of the three blushers seem so apt for this time of year

I love autumn and all the colours and textures associated with it

In all honesty I meant to pick up the 'Lace' version of this compact and may have to return and purchase it

Three blushers for £10.00 is a bargain in my eyes, around £3.33 for each shade and they are all full sized

Same order as in pan

As with all Sleek products all three blushers are highly pigmented and you don't need much to achieve a good colour

I'm very heavy handed when it comes to applying blusher so use a very very light hand when applying these

I've never used an orange blusher and have to say find it quite intimidating in the pan

'P Pie' is my favourite of the three colours, it's coral in tone and I love corals

My blusher collection is brimming with corals but I stand by the fact they are all slightly different :P

Love

Belle
