Pink Lemonade anyone?

So when we last spoke I promised you more regular blog posts.....I am a bad blogger and  I have been unable to keep this promise.

I have come to the realization that regular blogging while planning a DIY wedding is some what impossible. I come home from work most days and begin some kind of wedding related jobs be it cutting material or tying together pieces of bunting. Its safe to say its eating into my time much more than I anticipated ahind I am struggling to fit in anything non wedding related.

So today I make a new promise, I promise to blog when and where I can and will resume regular blog posts after my wedding. I also promise a blog post with lots of pictures from my wedding.

Anyway enough chit chat and rambles, this blog point does actually have a beauty related point....I promise.

Today I wanted to share a review of the 'Pink Lemonade' blush by three palette from Sleek. I bought this a few months ago after loving my first ever sleek blush so much I went back to Super Drug the following weekend and stocked up on blushes. However, in all the excitement i forgot to review it.

 pink mint , Macaroon and  Icing sugar

I took this trio of pink blushes with me on holiday to Dubai back in May as it gave me enough blush options for 10 days in the sun and literally haven't been able to put it down since.

This sleek palette is made up of three blushes, two powder blushes and one cream blush. I love the cute desert themed names for each blushes, although it does make me want to eat cake.

The first shade is 'pink mint', this cool toned baby pink shade is my favourite and most used blush of the three shades. The hint of silver shimmer blended into the pink tone gives my cheeks a really pretty icy pink sheen. This shade can be applied very lightly to give you a pop of pink or built up for a dramatic finish. I personally like to apply a good amount of product but then blend it in with my foundation brush to give it a natural blended finish, but is still noticeable and gives me a pretty pop of colour without it being too frosty.

Macaroon is a creamy rosy mauve shade. The creamy consistency of this blush makes it incredibly easy to blend into the skin, leaving the cheeks with a beautiful natural flush of colour, which is great for an every day no make up, make up look. I have even used my fingers to blend this blush and I never ever using my fingers, but that just proves how easy it is too apply.

Finally icing sugar is a lovely coral rose shade with blended gold shimmer. I loved this when I had a tan as it completed my colour really nice and gave my cheeks a beautiful warm rose gold glow. Both the powder blushes are very well pigmented and a little goes a long way (true of all sleek blushes). I find I get a good 3-4 hours of wear with these blushes before I need a little touch up. However, even when the blush begins to wear off it does not go patchy or crease, it just fades slightly, so I still have a hint of colour.

I think the blush by three sets from Sleek are a great hand bag or travelling blush, giving you three versatile shades to pick from, the packaging is thin and compact so fits perfectly in your make up bag and it has a really good sized mirror which is perfect for on the go touch ups.

For £10 I really cant recommend this blush enough, I can see me adding more of these blush trios into my collection.

Have you tried pink lemonade? Or have you tried any of the other trios? I would love to hear your recommendations if you have.

Till next time beauts

Sleek Pout Polish

Gone are the days when lip products were simply available in stick form. My lip products collections has a whole host of have lip butters, crayon style lip balms, matte glosses, glossy lip cream and now I have added a Pout Polish by Sleek to my collection.

So what is a pout polish I hear you ask? A pout polish is a creamy tinted lip conditioning balm; it leaves your lips nourished but with a subtle hint of colour, so in a few words a tinted lip balm.

I picked up the pout polish in ‘Raspberry Rhapsody’ for £4.49 from super drug. The shade is a purple toned baby pink, it looks very bright and vibrant in the tin but once applied to the lips it leaves a soft pink shine to the lips. This polish leaves your lips glossy for around 30 minutes and it sinks into the lips leave you with a sheer tint for a good few hours.  For a balm product the pigmentation is really good and it great for adding a pop of colour that it’s too bold for a more natural stained lip look.

The pout polish is formulated with natural oils including almond oil and shea butter, which gives the polish a lovely soft and cream texture, which left my lips feeling, conditioned and nourished.  The polish also has added SPF so will be great for the summer time, I can definitely see me wearing this on my holidays this year to give me a hint of colour but it will also keep my lips protected from the sun and moisturised.

The pout polish does have quite a strong vanilla and coconut scent, for some it may be too over powering but I love both those scents so I didn't mind at all. The packaging is a sleek little tin which looks a lot more high end then the small high street price tag. It’s a good sized product to pop in your hand bag or for travelling. My only small moan about the packaging is that I am not a fan of sticking my fingers in lip products but that’s just me being a tad OCD and I am sure most people don’t mind this.

So if you’re looking for a conditioning lip balm with a glow of glossy colour this Summer  I would definitely recommend the pout polish from Sleek, it won’t break the bank and there are nine shades to choose from so something for everyone.

Thanks for reading beauts I would love to hear if you have tried this pout polish or any other summer lip product recommendations.

Sleek Pixie Pink Blush

Can you believe I have been blogging over a year now and I haven't tried a blush from Sleek? They have always been on my wish list of products to buy but I have just never really remembered to purchase one. Yes, slap me on the wrists for my ignorance!!

That was until a recent trip to Superdrug, I decided it was high time I owned a blush from sleek so spent a good 10 minutes swatches all the different shades.

After much umming and ahhing I decided to go with Pixie Pink.

You can never have too much pink in your make up collection and I do tend to go for pink shades and tones when it comes to blush, so this looked like a good colour to add to my rather large collection. 

Pixie pink is a cotton candy pink blush with blue undertones to it with a matte finish.  In the pan this looks quite dramatic and scary, but if you tap off any excess powder from your brush it actually just gives the apples of your cheeks really soft pretty flushed colour.

The pigmentation of this blush is amazing, on par with some of my favourite Nars or Mac blushes, I also found it blends into my skin and make up like a dream.

This little blush from Sleek is probably the first blush formula that has lasted all day on my skin without any kind of touch up needed so the lasting power is very impressive for a high street brand. 

The packaging is very cute and well, sleek (see what I did there) It’s got a good size mirror and is a good compact size to fit in your handbag. Best part all this for £4.99!

I have a slightly feeling I may be returning to Sleek to stock up on some more blushes….stay tuned!

Have you tried this blush? What do you think? I love reading your comments so would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for reading lovelies.
