Sleek Life's A Peach Blush Review

Hi guys!
-
Today is the start of my half term holidays which last for a week which means I will have more time to post, and whenever I have more time I like to post reviews as I have more time to take pictures of products. Today I saw a gorgeous Sleek blush called 'Life's A Peach' which is a lovely peachy orange colour that's matte. It's easy to apply and wear which I am very much looking forward to doing so on holiday. I'm sure I told you guys that I have been doing a little summer beauty plan where I will be buying 1-3 products every 2 weeks up until the 21st of June which is about 2 weeks from my birthday. This way I will have all the products I need for holiday in time. This was one of the very first products I wanted and it cost £4.49 from Superdrug so it was very cheap. I applied it as soon as I got home with a Real Techniques Powder Brush and it immediately looked peachy and fresh. With a highlighter it will look perfect by the pool with a coral lipstick or for a meal out with MAC Morange.

I would really recommend this blush for all year around because it's a gorgeous texture and a gives a peachy flushed look that stays on for hours. If you are like me and have quite fair skin you could still use a pinky blush over the top of the blush that could be applied lightly in the hollows of the cheeks.

Spring Blush

Hey guys
-
I am going to be writing a spring blush post today after getting some much needed inspiration from miss Tanya Burr's latest video, but I did not totally agree with her look. The only thing I would change is using a different blush. Tanya used the Coralista blush from Benefit which I do love, but I would say for a spring make up look I would have used the Dandelion blush and maybe a lighter bronzer too because Tanya used the Nars Laguna bronzer. Anyway sorry for rambling but after watching Tanya's video I wanted to offer a selection of spring blushes.

Benefit Dandelion Blush is one of the most well known spring blushes on the market. It's pale pink colour gives a natural glow and a little bit of shimmer brightening any spring make up look.
Sleek Pixie Pink Blush looks like a super bright hot pink colour in the pan but trust me when you apply it, it becomes a faint shade of baby pink a lot like the MeMeMe blush I reviewed a while back.
MAC Mocha Blush has peachy undertones which are perfect for people with slightly darker skin tone as it can be used to give dimension to the face and a flush of pink for pretty, spring make up.
Seventeen Rosy Summer Blush is one of my favourite drugstore blushes ever. Seventeen offer a range of smooth, shimmery, pigmented blushes and Rosy Summer is one of the best shades for me. This blush could be used well into summer and maybe even the start of autumn depending on your skin tone.
Estee Lauder Mauve Mystique is slightly darker than the rest of the blushes with kind of more purple undertones. Estee Lauder blushes are a perfect texture and they give the perfect look for a sunny spring day (which doesn't seem very likely in the UK at the moment).

So I have including a wide range of blushes from £4.99 to £25.00 so I hope you see something you fancy and my personal favourite from this bunch is the Benefit Dandelion blush because when I think of a spring blush the first one I think of is this Dandelion blush, however the Seventeen blush is a close second!

Sleek Blushes

Hey guys!
-
I feel like I have been doing quite a few posts focusing on high end brands recently so I am going for a cheaper brand today - Sleek. I love Sleek but I am always a little stuck for choice when I am stood at the Sleek stand in Superdrug and it ends up a bit of a pressure buy (buying the first product you see), so today hopefully I will give not only myself some much needed inspiration but also you guys!

Life's A Peach is my favourite colour in this collection of blushes because it could be used as a bronzer if you have fair skin like myself or blush and I think it would look lovely with a tan on holiday or if you have naturally more tanned skin then it would look lovely too.
Pixie Pink is a beautiful spring colour a little like Nars Desire and Benefit Dandelion. I love the colour that you get with this blush because sometimes with blushes like this can lack in colour but this blush exceeded my expectations as it gives a natural solid pink sheen.
Rose Gold is another one of my favourite Sleek blushes because of the stunning sparkle that it has. It would probably suit darker skin than fairer skin because it has red undertones.
Antique is a beautiful plum colour that again I think would suit darker skin tones. It also has similar sparkle like 'Rose Gold' has.
Pomegranate is a beautiful dark reddy/pinky colour that would look amazing in autumn with a berry lipstick and MAC's Cranberry on the eyes. I think this would be a really striking colour if you have fairer skin and a soft colour if you are tanned.

Thanks for reading and I hope you all get some inspiration from this post and find a blush that you like. Sleek blushes are all excellent quality and they have beautiful packaging similar to Nars.
