Sleek Blush By 3 Pink Lemonade

Pink Mint/Macaroon/Icing Sugar

The Sleek Pink Lemonade and Californ.i.a palettes were new additions to the Sleek Blush by 3 collection early this year, both with absolutely gorgeous colours for Spring/Summer, after some careful deliberation i decided to treat myself to the Californ.i.a palette which i reviewed back in March. However as you can see i have since caved and bought Pink Lemonade too... what can i say i am a weak individual. I cant believe a year ago i didn't even used to bother with blusher, i just used to use bronzer and highlighter. I actually think i owned one, and well a year later and i've got them coming out my ears I'm literally obsessed with them right now. 

Pink Lemonade is a collection of three blushers, two powder and one cream both powders contain a very slight shimmer. You might look at them and think why do you need three similar looking blushes, but as you can see from the swatches although all pink they are actually very different. Pink Mint is a pretty pale pink almost frosted looking blush and my favourite of the three, i just think it really suits my complexion its a great one for paler skin. Macaroon the cream blush its a medium cool toned pink very pigmented so you really don't need to use a lot i like to lightly apply with a stippling brush as i think it gives a even finish. Icing Sugar is a warm toned rusty orange/pink its not really a colour i would have chosen had it been individual but i actually really like it, i think its going to be a great shade for Autumn. It is the most pigmented of the three so a very light hand is needed especially if your on the paler side, i think this would be a great shade for darker skintones. 

I think this is a great little palette, great colours that have great pigmentation with something to suit everyone, and at £9.99 for the palette its a massive bargain! 

Which ones your favourite?

Sleek Blush by 3 Palette Californ.i.a

OC/ THE SURF/ NEWPORT BEACH

Hello lovelies i ran a giveaway back in January and the prize was to win one of the lovely Blush by 3 palettes in Califon.i.a or Pink lemonade, and i liked the look of them so much that i wanted to treat myself to one too...as you do. 

Im usually one for pretty pink blushers so Pink Lemonade seemed like the obvious choice, however i decided to go for something different for a change. 

"Blush By 3 is the ultimate blush palette offering three times the impact in one compact. With intense pigment, you can use these complimentary shades individually or blend together for a unique shade"

The Califon.i.a palette consists of three cream blushers in gorgeous warm orange shades, i thought this would be a great palette to have for spring and summer to add a healthy flush of colour to the cheeks. 

OC my favorite of the three is a beautiful coral, with a very fine shimmer to it, i personally love corals i think they just look so flattering and pretty on all skin tones. The Surf is a peachy orange with the prettiest fine gold shimmer which i can imagine looking so fresh and healthy on summer skin. Newport Beach is a darker more terracotta orange which i think will be great with a summer tan. Im not used to wearing orange shades on my cheeks but there all such nice colours and are really not as scary as they look in the palette, they come out quiet light and can be easily built up to the colour you desire. 

The formulation is great very smooth and creamy, and their easily bendable. there is nothing worse than a cream blush that blends badly and leaves you with patchy colour on your cheeks! 

Im glad i decided to to try something different and im looking forward to having a play around with these and layering some colours together, i think the darker shade Newport Beach could look great with The Surf on top and may end up being my favorite summer combo. 

Have you tried a Sleek blush palette? Would you be brave enough to try something different?
