Sleek Blush by 3 is Back! plus Lace Review

Hi all!

I walked into one of my local Superdrugs the other day (not intending to buy anything) and saw that the Sleek make up display had had a face lift. On the display there were spaces for lots of new products that were previously online exclusives such as the i-Divine Snapshots palette and the Sleek Corrector and Concealer Palette. Theres lots of new products on their website too. One of the things I saw was the Blush by 3 that came out as a limited edition last year. The Superdrug near where I work never got stock in of these so I missed out on this the first time round.

I could not pass these by again so I picked up Lace, mainly as one of the colours looked like it was a dupe for my beloved Sleek Pan Tao Blush (from the Avoir la Peche collection). I also had a Rose Gold esque colour and a beautiful bright coral (which i may even like more than Pan Tao).

They come in traditional Sleek matte black packaging, feels sturdy and a large good quality mirror.

and here are the shades in the pans

(L-R: Crochet, Guipure and Chantilly) - Love the themed names!

These seem to be as wonderfully pigmented as the standard Sleek blushes and I love their warm shades, they give a lovely healthy glow to my face. I also like to layer the blushes, the middle blush gives a peachy golden highlight to either of the other two shades.

I mentioned dupes earlier... and they are.

Crochet is a dupe for Pan Tao and Guipure is a dupe for Rose Gold. So if you have both of those you probably don't need this one, but there are 4 other varieties. I think i might pick up Pink Sprint next. I had my eye on Pumpkin but its orange/coral shades again so I think i'll go for something completely different, though i'm sure if these stay permenant i'll soon own all 5.
