Sleek Candy Sweet Cheeks Blush By 3

 I've had my eye on this bad boy since it was announced, I am a massive fan of Sleek products, particularly their blushes, and since I seem to have turned into a, well, a girl recently, who seems to like pink, this blush palette nearly had me squealing. A bright pink cream blush, Cupcake, a lilac pink powder, Dolly Mix, and A shimmery bright pink powder, Candyfloss, I can guarantee this little trio is going to get tons of use. 

As always with Sleek blushes, all three are super pigmented, soft and gorgeous. I believe this is Sleek's first forray into the world of cream blushers, but they haven't let me down. Unlike it's Bourjois or Topshop competitors, this isn't a cream to powder formula, but it's not like it's Stila rival which remains tacky on the cheeks. It's really pigmented, the tiniest touch of a stippling brush is probably too much, and it blends seamlessly into the cheeks. 

I'm not a massive fan of lilac shades, but Dolly Mix is just delectable. It's pink toned, so it's nothing too scary, but it is a nice colour to dip your toe into the purple shade pool. As for Candyfloss, it's the shade that's been missing from my blush collection. It's kind of like the Aqua Collection's Mirrored Pink, but a little darker and a little less shimmery. It can be lightly dusted onto the cheeks for a subtle pink glow, or applied with a heavier hand for a pretty summer look. 

These blush by three sets are great, since they are three full size
blushes that are normally £5 each. They're also great to slip in your
your suitcase if you're going on holiday, since they're super small and
compact, but there's a good mix of cream and powder colours.

This palette is pretty hard to come by, since it's limited edition, but Superdrug gets it's deliverys generally on a Tuesday, so that's when to look!

Rose Gold Love

By now, it should be no surprise to any of you that I am a massive fan of Sleek blushes. With the quality I would expect from a high end brand, a gorgeous colour range, and the less-than-a-fiver price tag, it's no wonder I have built up quite a collection. However, since this blush love affair began, there has been one blush that has sadly, eluded my grasp, the Rose Gold. Considered the closest dupe for the Legendary NARS Orgasm Blush (insert pause for sniggering) the beautiful peachy toned pigment has been on my hit list for a while now. And as with all good dupes, it's been sold out everywhere all the time.

I don't know if you've noticed in the past few weeks since I've been back in Bournemouth, but I've ignited a love affair with the Bournemouth Superdrug store so strong, that any London offering only pales by comparison. The flame was burning bright but when I found a Rose Gold lurking in the 'Life's a Peach" (more on that one later) section, I could have sought out the manager and kissed him. And what's even better, I had enough Beauty Points, so it was free!

Now enough dramatics and on to the product itself. I feel like I needn't say anything about the formula by now, you know the drill, it's super pigmented, buttery soft and long lasting. It's the colour that I'm interested in. Unlike a lot of cheaper blushes, the gold shimmer is not just stamped on the top of the pan, it runs all the way through the product, serving only to highlight the beautiful coral colour. It's quite hard to photograph on the face, so you shall have to cope with some hand swatches, it looks very different depending on how the light hits it? This is definitely a summer blush, it's a lot more shimmery than my usual go tos, but with a little sun on my face, this will be perfect.

All in all, despite the fact I adore NARS products, this dupe is for me, and it's love.
