Sleek Blush by 3 blusher palettes review!


I've been dying to tell you guys about these bad boys for a while now, as they have been my makeup staples since last Winter and the quality I got for £10 I spent on each one is incredible. 

Let's get cracking, I know you will love them too! 

From all the gorgeous colour combinations, these two 'Blush by 3' palettes appeared the most wearable and classic to me, but if you want to go all out with a bright red or flamingo pink blush - be my guest, Sleek offers a huge range of these, you should definitely check them out.  

Generally speaking, these palettes are fairly well made for the price - the sturdy packaging comes with a gigantic mirror you can use for touch-ups during the day. Blushers themselves (both powders and creams) are crazily pigmented - sometimes they can be too strong, so make sure you are light-handed with those ;)

Sleek's Blush by 3 palette in 'Lace'


This was the first palette ouf of the two I picked up, as the colours (although named differently), remined me of two extremely popular single Sleek blushers - 'Life's a Peach' and 'Rose Gold' -apparently the perfect dupe for NARS' 'Orgasm'. When I compared them to the single ones, they did turn out to be the exact same shades, but as a palette they did cost me a lot less ;)

The peachy matte was my all-Summer essential, as it emphasised my Turkish tan beautifully without adding any shimmery particles that could make my au naturel, beachy look a bit too done-up. 
'Rose Gold' is a colour I reach for all year round, especially when I need an all-in-one contour before heading out of the door. This golden/pinky/shimmery amazingness shapes the cheek perfectly on its own, so you don't need to use blusher AND a highlighter. It goes well with any makeup look, adding a finishing glow to your face. 
Lastly, is the classic pink matte shade that will blend in with any skin colour and give a natural flush - a staple in any girl's makeup bag. 


Sleek's Blush by 3 palette in 'Californ.I.A'
This palette was a bit of a risky purchase, as I have never used cream blushers before and had no idea if they would be my cup of tea. Now I can no longer imagine my life without them! I apply these subtly onto my cheeks with a stippling brush, as it gives a more polished and smoothly blended look than a finger application.

The light, cool toned pink colour on the left has a delicate shimmer, which looks extremely natural and fresh (as long as you don't layer too much of the product). The middle shade is my all time favourite, as it can be used as a blusher and a highlighter. Its peachy, golden glow is simply irresistible - I can't even describe it. Lastly, is the muted rosy matte shade, a friend of any red lipstick wearer - I usually apply it when I go for a darker look, as it lets my eyes or lips play the first fiddle without making me look like a human makeup swatch.


I do highly recommend going to Superdrug and trying these for yourself, or ordering them online - totally worth it!



Hugs and kisses,
