Sleek Blush By 3 Pink Lemonade Review and Swatches

Hello everyone, today I am bringing you my review of the brand new Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Pink Lemonade. Sleek have come out with so many new products recently, including two new blush by 3 palettes, Californ.I.A , which contains 3 peach and orangey cream blushes, and Pink lemonade, which contains 2 powders and 1 cream blush. These blush palettes are £9.99; which is amazing value for what your getting. I love how versatile this palette is, as you have the cream blush which is a perfect base for the other blushes included, but also makes a really great lip stain, and looks great on it's own. Then you have the powder blushes, for me they last up to 5 hours before they start to fade, but are still visible at the end of the day, they are both shimmers so double up as a highlighter, and look stunning on the skin. I really think that these blushes are a must have for anyone's makeup collection, and look stunning on a variety of skin tones, especially fair to light.

The first shade included is Icing Sugar. A baby pink shimmer, very soft and buttery to the touch. On the skin there is visible glitter when applied, however it doesn't make you look like a disco ball, and is actually very flattering. This is the sheerer of the three shades, and I find one layer gives a very light highlight, then building up to 2 or 3 layers you see the true blush colour coming through, and it truly is beautiful.

The next shade included is the cream blush Macaroon. A really nice neutral pink. As I mentioned earlier this works well on it's own, with the other powder blushes and as a lip tint. It's very smooth to the touch, very pigmented, and sets to a matte finish, perfect for those natural days! I would recommend applying this with a small stipple brush, or fingers.

The last shade included is pink mint, a love child of Icing Sugar, Macaroon and a bronzer. It appears quite harsh in the pan and is extremely pigmented, so a light touch is definitely needed, however on the skin it looks so beautiful. It has just the right amount of shimmer without any chunky glitter and I think this is going to be my go to summer blush. It is soft and buttery to touch, and blends seamlessly onto the skin.

Bottom Line:

Price:- 10/10 great value for money

Packaging- 9/10 love the big mirror, very sleek and compact, however I wish it came with a divider or something in between the shades, as I have found some powder fall into the cream shades

Pigmentation- 10/10 perfect

Texture 10/10 soft and buttery throughout

lasting power- 9/10 5 hours before fading, very good, durable colour
