Sleek Peach Pout

Today's post is on Sleek Pout Polish in Peach Perfection.

The pout polishes come is around 10 shades for £4.50 ish. I decided on Peach Perfection as it looked lovely in the tube, such a creamy peach shade.

As Sleek say,
'A tinted lip conditioning balm formulated with natural oils such as Almond oil, Shea butter, avocado extract, Vitamin A, C and E to help condition lips and lock on moisture.'
It certainly is moisturising and feels lovely on. Though is does have an old taste...I know it's not for eating but you always get some on your tongue etc.

From the swatch below it looks pinky,

But it is more peach in the tub.

On the lips it comes out very pale and offers a good nude lip.

This is my first sleek pout polish and I currently would not pick up another one. I like the colour but it is nothing amazing and I do have similar shades. It does leave my lips soft but I don't like the taste. I also don't like applying it, as you would usually have to apply with your finger. If you want to do it when and out you always end up with the excess on your finger afterwards.

Are you a fan?

Thanks

EOTD Sleek Paraguaya

OK so I'm a bit late to the party with the Sleek Paraguaya palette, but now I'm hooked.




I never thought I would be able to use the colours and although I love it, I'm not entirely convinced I can make all the peaches and oranges work as eye shadows but they are very pretty as blushers.






So here's my EOTD,










Products used:




From the palette:





  • Cameo and Persimmon as blusher


  • Sandstone over the lid


  • Stone in the socket


  • Bittersweet blended from the socket down to the lash


  • Bellini in the corner

Some of My Current Favourite Blushers...

Hey, How is everyone? Today's post is on some of my current favourite blushers (all are also recent additions). I used to wear my Benetint most days with a bit of highlighter or bronzer but at the moment I have been more tempted to use powder blusher. So with making this change to my normal makeup I wanted to introduce you to the current ones that I am using. First up is Sleek's blusher is Pomegranate, I have wanted this for so long yet never got around to ordering it offline (I could never get it in my superdrug). But I was fortunate that Welsh Beauty Blog had it for sale on her blog sale so I got it for £3 you can check out the rest of the colours here. This blusher is very pigmented and is such a rich colour, I have to be careful when applying it or I can easily go overboard. Once applied it's a gorgeous shade that has a golden shimmer as well.



Second up is more of a bronzer/highlighter but I love the colour I wanted to show you guys! It's from George at Asda and I picked it up on a recent trip, you can check out the other items I got here. With being very pale this has been giving me the right amount of glow that I need! Third up is a new purchase that I got in my Mini ELF Haul . It's a studio blusher in Merry Berry which retail at £3.50 and you can see here. I was worried that this was similar to the Sleek one but they are quite different. ELF is a lot more plum toned, and not as pigmented as I hoped but it actually works better as it is on my skin tone.


Fourth is my Benefit Bella Bamba Blusher, which retails at £23.50 and you can see more on Bella Bamba here. This is a well pigmented pink/coral shade with a light gold shimmer - prefect for summer! Next up is Collection 2000 Blusher is No4 Trouble which retails at £2.99, as I mentioned in my previous post here this shade is not very pigmented, yet it does have a nice warming tone for my skin and has become a firm fave.


Lastly we have Boots 17 Sweet Kiss from the Spring Collection at 17 this retails at £3.49, you can see my post here on the Spring Collection at 17. This is such a gorgeous pink and again suits my skin tone great! Have you got a current favourite blusher? Any suggestions of new ones to try or look out for?


Thanks

Sleek Rose Gold

Ok so this is just a quick review of the Sleek Rose Gold.

I’ve suddenly had a huge obsession with blushers and this was a great on to add to the collection. I actually had a lot of difficulty picking this up – couldn’t find it anywhere. Ended up getting at my sisters, after dragging about everywhere looking for it.

It’s a gorgeous colour on, which I hope you can make out in the pictures below.


It blends in really well and the slight gold shimmer to it works wonders as a highlighter! Obviously a great thing as it means one less product to apply. I’ve mainly been using this when I’ve been going out, because it is quick and easy to apply.

Overall, it’s a great product but I wouldn’t say I love it and it definitely won’t be replacing my Accessorizes Blusher or my Benetint anytime soon. It’s just a nice blush for the collection
