My Sleek Blush Collection

Hey my beauties How are you all doing today :) 

Someone asked me a while back has I tried Sleeks Blushes and It dawned on me that I had never reviewed any of the blushes even though I first tried them about 2 years ago and built up a small collection ever since.  Tut Tut to me I was actually annoyed with myself as I love these blushes so much and use them on a regular basis.  Anyway better late than never eh and at least instead of reviewing 1 blush I am reviewing 4 for you all :) 

Sleek Cosmetics is one of my favourite affordable Brands simply because everything that I have tried so far be it their eyeshadow palettes, their lipsticks, their blushes have all got amazing pigmentation and the quality is just as good as any high street brands out there.  

You can buy sleek online from their site 

Sleek cosmetics 

Plus you can buy of various online stores like 

Cloud10 or Beauty Emporium and many more 

The Sleek Blushes are one of my top favourites from this brand 

Each blush costs about £4.49/€5.49 for 8g of product and believe me that is alot of product :) 

There are 10 shades to choose from and there is at least one to two shades suitable for every skintone :) :) 

I have 4 as I said before and all 4 shades suit my skin tone.  I am about an NC 25 at the moment and each one looks amazing again my tanned skin in the winter I am more of an NC 15-20 and a couple of these blushes can be a little too cray cray if I use alot of it.  

I love the packaging on these as they are very very sturdy.  They are very comparable to the Nars Packaging only these dont hold onto every finger print.  The one thing I have to say is the lid is quite difficult at the beginning to open especially if you dont have nails but after a few uses that soon stops.  Inside you get the perfect sized mirror for travelling.  Sorry about my reflection hehehe

Doesnt the shades look BOOTIFUL :) 

Speaking of shades let me show you a close up of them :) 

Pomegranate:  One word for this shade STUNNING!!!!! Dont judge the shade ladies I did for ages I refused to buy it as I thought it would not suit my skintone it looks so deep in the packaging I literally thought this was going to be a shade for the more darker skin tone beauties out there but I was very wrong this shade will suit everyone once you dont go cray cray with the brush that is.  This is a stunning Berry Pink shade with pink micro glimmers going through it.  This is the perfect winter shade for everyone and leaves a fabulous glow to your cheeks I love it :) A small bit of this blush goes a long way so use a light hand when using it :) :) you can always build it up.  :)  You might find this blush a tiny bit on the chalky side but nothing that will make a mess :) 

Rose Gold:  This has to by my favourite out of the 4 shades i have.  It is also the 1st shade I ever got and I have since repurchased.  This again is probably one of the most popular shades bought from Sleek.  Its also suppose to be a dupe of the famous Nars Orgasm Blush.  This is a fantastic Pinky coral shade with strong reflex's of gold going through.  Its so so stunning on the cheeks and perfect for the summer months especially.  Dont be put off by the fact there is strong shimmers because it doesnt make you look like a disco ball it just makes you glow glow glow baby :)  Rose Gold is a little more chalky than Pomegranate and you will lose a little product but again nothing that will make a huge mess :) 

Coral:  Ok you have no idea how afraid I was of this shade.  Just the word Coral frightened me I dont know why maybe because I thought the shade would clash with my skintone and make me look more orange than I am but I decided one day just to be spontaneous and try it out once and for all.  This is a strong Coral but not the bright orange coral your thinking of its a perfect coral for those days you just want a wash of colour on your cheeks when you have a smokey eye going on :) :) Its looks beautiful on the cheek but I do have to be careful with this one as any stronger than a wash is a little OTT on me.  Even though it looks like there is slight shimmers in the pan the blush comes out matte and is very very pigmented :)  Coral has no fall out whatsoever. 

 Flamingo:  I Love this shade.  This is a deep cool pinky shade it has silver reflex's.  This blush is also very very pigmented and will need a light hand.  Flamingo is perfect for all skintones and looks particular beautiful in the winter time.  Again don't judge the blush by the way it looks in the pan as its not as daunting :)  This blush is so creamy and soft and you have no fall out whatsoever.  Again you get a beautiful glowy finish from this blush and looks stunning if you do not over do it :) :) 

To be honest I find absolutely not 1 fault with these blushes.  They are amazing for the price and the lasting powder is brilliant I found I got about 6 hours wear before even the slightest fading which is more than enough for a blush this price.  You couldnt ask for anymore from these.  I guarantee once you try them you will want more 
So that is my Sleek Blush Collection so far No doubt There will be more in the future :) ;) 
I hope you found this helpful 
Until Next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose, Pomegranate & Quince

Hey my beauties how are you all doing today :) 

Were you ever in the situation that even though you have found your HG product be it your best lipstick, foundation, blush etc.  You still have to search for a better one ?  Well this is what got me purchasing these 3 products.  Even though I have plenty and I mean plenty of lip balms in my drawers I cant help myself  I just gotta buy more after all lip balms are one of the most used products everyday so I suppose in a way you really cant have too many of them can you?  Ok maybe I am trying to convince myself lol

I have seen so many good reviews on these and always wanted to try them but to be honest no matter how many good reviews i have seen up to date I couldnt bring myself to spend around 8 - 10 euro on one.  

Especially when there are cheaper ones out there.  Low and behold I came across another blog post on these which included a link to an ebay store who sell these for a very good price and I just had to buy.  The only difference between these and the ones you get here is the Language on the lid.  As these came from Greece their original home might I add :) ;)  And guess what I only paid 5 euro including shipping for each one I saved almost half so if you are interested in having a look here is the link to the ebay store 

To be honest I was more Fascinated with what alot of the ingredients do for your lips and I just had to buy the 3 as each one has a different ingredient which does different things but the key ingredient in each one is Shea Butter which is said to Be good for protecting your lips against hard climates such as Winter and Summer.  It also helps prevent wrinkles and soothes irritated and chapped lips.  They are petroleum free, cruelty free and suitable for vegans.   

With saying that another plus about these lip butters are slightly tinted and has a slight scent added to them for an extra bonus.  They also come with a protective plastic covering in which you can take off each time you apply which is another bonus.   

There are 7 shades to choose from altogether 

Each Lip butter contains 6 mls of product which believe me when or if you get these you will think that there is less because its so lightweight and looks less in the package but you do get quite a bit of product.  

The First shade I chose was Wild rose:  This is probably the most pigmented out of the bunch.  This is a lovely Sheer Cherry shade. 

 The wild rose oil, rich in linoleic and linolenic acid, has significant healing, moisturising and softening properties. At the same time it forms a protective film on the skin that helps cell regeneration and improves the texture of the epidermis. Furthermore, the wild rose fruit is noted for its high vitamin C content that demonstrates significant repairing activity to fine lines and skin colour disorders. 

This shade is beautiful it gives a stunning reddish look to your lips and its perfect for any makeup look its even stunning on your no makeup days :)  i have to say this is one of my favourites 

The next one I got is Pomegranate:   This is a stunning sheer coral/red shade.  

This has a light fruity-ish scent sort of plasticy in my opinion. 

The Pomegranate extract is a rich source of tannins, anthocyanins, vitamins (A, C, E) and minerals and is widely used for its antioxidant properties. One pomegranate contains three times the antioxidant properties of red wine or green tea. This high level of antioxidants found in pomegranate is effective in combating free radicals that cause premature ageing of skin cells. Pomegranate extract has also significant astringent properties, due to the contained tannins. As a result, it tightens the pores and strengthens the skin epidermis, thus being ideal for oily and combination skin.

 Now just for the record I detest any lip products that has any sort of artificial scent or strong scented lip products.  I dont mind fruity or sweet scents at all but I have to say the scent is actually tolerable with this and once is on the lips you cant smell anything. 

Lastly is Quince:  This is the lightest out of the 3 for me.  Its a beautiful sheer pretty pink shade.  

The scent on this is a little stronger but still that fake fruity scent.  It does wear away after a while and I can bare it so that says alot 

The quince extract is proven to have moisturising properties, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects. It is therefore ideal for stressed and damaged skin.

I am actually wearing this at the moment and most nights I apply this before bed.  Its quite sheer on my lips as I have naturally pigmented lips as it is but you still notice the slight tint which i like.  

So Whats My Overall Opinion?

To be honest I dont honestly think they are any good to heal lips especially if you have sore lips I found no comfort from this lip butter whatsoever.  As to them been moisturising Oh Yes they are 100% moisturising and feel amazingly soft on the lips.  I find instance hydration from the moment i apply these on my lips.  They are not one bit sticky and you dont have to fear you hair getting stuck to your lips when you are wearing these.  They surely feel like they put a protective coating to your lips for sure.  As a few time I had to go walking to the shop on the coldest days we have had lately and my lips felt very protected against the cold.  They also look amazing on the lips for sure.  They give a fantastic glossy look which also helps to make them look very healthy and hydrated.  They also look amazing over your favourite lipsticks of similar colours.  The lasting power of these i found are quite good without eating or drinking I dont feel like I have to reapply for a good 3 to 4 hours if eating and drinking of course within 2 hours im reapplying.  Overall I am delighted I finally got to try these and If i get them at a more affordable price I would repurchase as they are full of pue goodness but to be honest paying anymore than 5 euro for these is crazy.  

I since found more sites which sell Korres Lip Butters for cheaper than 10 euro for sure like 

Feelunique.com:  Are selling them for around 6-7 euro each 

Debenham.ie and korres.com:  are both selling them for 9.77 euro each  

And of course ebay is probably the cheapest to buy them and to be honest just make sure you are buying from either a top rated seller or someone who have 99.9% positive feedback :) 

Also Korres do these Lip butters in stick form for those of you who are not into the tubs 

Well thats its for today 

I hope you enjoyed my review :) 

Until next time
