Here's an initial review on Sleek Makeup Powder Blush in Coral
THE VERDICT:
The international rave surrounding Sleek has gotten a lot of Pinay makeup lovers curious about this brand. Thanks to pre-ordering online sites, we can finally enjoy and feed our curiosity with Sleek (sans the mall price).
Sleek is indeed--sleek. When I saw some reviews about the blushes in some blogs, the compact looked as if it's as big as the pans of Nars' blushes. But in actual, it's so compact, small, and lightweight! It can fit right in the palm of my hand!
Sleek is made in UK. And their blushes are some of the must- haves from the brand. Other popular colors are Pixie Pink, Rose Gold (dubbed as dupe for Nars' Orgasm), Aruba (I originally wanted this one, but it's an LE item), and Flamingo.
Coral is a matte sunset orange blush.
The blush is VERY pigmented. However, it took me a few swipes on the pan before I made the color pop from my cheeks. If you have this or you're planning to buy it, be careful not to go overboard with your application, be sure that you apply it using a sweeping motion, and then blend evenly. The texture is semi- chalky, making the powder hard to work with. Once it touches the skin, it may leave a nasty spot that can only be removed by water. The formula takes some getting used to and would require some practice.
I paired the blush with my NYX Matte Lipstick in Angel. Glad I made the right decision with Coral because I've been meaning to get an orange blush that accentuates tan skin tones.
Staying power is good. It lasts all day on me if the weather is cool, and I would have to retouch once if the weather is humid. It has a light perfume smell that isn't bothersome at all.
Foolin' around with my Barrack. :)
Oh no! I've awakened the most vocal cat in the world! After the shot, he kept on meowing, stretched his legs a bit (whilst still meowing), and followed me everywhere in the house (still meowing). Another tough day for a mom with a spoiled kid. :)
I can't wait to open my new shopping site! Sleek will be in it, so watch out for it!
Any thoughts on Sleek's blushes? Have you tried the brand or other products from? Let The Beauty Junkee know! :)
