Hello! Todays review is for two of the Sleek blushes; Rose Gold - the infamous NARS Orgasm dupe (apparently - i don't have the NARS blush to test it against) and Pan Tao - a bright peachy colour from the limited edition A La Peche collection.
Here they are in the pans - Pan Tao on the Left and Rose Gold on the Right.
And Swatched...(same order)
Pan Tao is a really bright peachy blush. In the pan it looks bright orange and looks as though it couldn't possibly look good. This however is my HG blush - I love it, especially for summer, it gives a great glow to my face. I am currently on a mission to find a replacement of this - if you know of any bright peach blushes, please let me know.
The blush itself is matte and very pigmented, a little goes a very long way. This blends quite well, its best applied very lightly in layers as the pigmentation makes it hard to blend a heavy application. I will definately be checking out some more matte Sleek blushes (once my no buy is over).
Rose Gold is a rosy peach shimmery blush with a gold duochrome like sparkle. I bought this based on all the hype surrounding the product. I have to say I am rather disappointed with it. It swatches beautifully, the shade is stunning - but it does not show up on my cheeks. Even if i apply multiple layers of this blush all i get it a gold frosty finish with none of the pretty rose base... I really wish this would apply how it looks in the swatches but i haven't had any luck yet using different brushes or one heavy application vs lots of light ones. I am wondering if Sleek blushes can be used wet.... i might as well try it since i can't really wear it as it is (except over another blush).
Thanks for reading! If you have Rose Gold an love it, please tell me how you apply it, i really want to make it work for me.
