H. Beauty Xo: Sleek Blush by 3

If you don't own a +Sleek MakeUP blusher or haven't thought about purchasing one, then I urge you to pick one up! I Promise, you won't be disappointed!

I can't really compare these to many other brands out there as I've never really been a blusher junkie. I can say though that after using Sleek, I'm no longer on the hunt for a perfect blush.

I have a confession.

I didn't actually need all of these but then I saw they were half price- Next thing I know...they were kinda at my door step *oops!*

Lets start with packaging

Considering this is a drug store brand, the packaging really is sleek. Matte black with a mirror inside- The perfect size when your're on-the-go. Although the packaging is plastic, it's extremely sturdy and holds the product inside well. I've had these for a while and trust me when I say I have butter fingers! These blushers have had many falls and I can confidently say that Sleek have done well. What I also love about these is that they're slim so are perfect for popping into your makeup purse. The only downside in my opinion is that it's hard to distinguish the colours as the names are printed on the label at the back of the product.

Sugar

This by far is my favourite trio of blushers for everyday wear. This seems like the kind of blush that would suit most seasons so if that's something you are looking for, I highly recommend Sugar

Turbinado: Gorgeous warm berry red with a brown undertone

Muscovado: Shimmery bronze with red undertones

Demerara: Pale orange with a slight touch of a brown undertone. I was quite hesitant for this shade as I thought it would look better on a lighter skin tone. However, the brown undertone gives a beautiful natural flushed look

Flame

This is probably the least used one only because these colours still scare me a little. I think

these shades would look more flattering on medium-darker skin tones.

Furnace: This reminds me of Demerara from Sugar but with a more orange/red undertone

Bonfire: Extremely pigmented bright fire red

Molten: This seems to be a peachy colour with undertones of Bonfire with a ever so slight shimmer.

Pink Parfait : Intense hot pink with a slight purple plum undertone. Out of every palette swatched, I have found that this colour is pretty hard to blend out.

Pinktini : A lighter shade of Pink Parfait and as the swatches show, it's not as intense of a colour. I do like this though because it's more wearable and easier to work with.

As you can see, Sleek really aren't messing around and have done an amazing job with creating Blush By 3. I don't really feel like I criticise these products unless you consider something being too pigmented a bad thing?

I've tried to get the colours in the pictures as close to as they are in person and from looking at flash Vs no flash, they both look just as intense.

I love that a lot of these have a matte finish because one applied with a highlighter, they look beautiful. The blushes aren't powdery which is great and I think they would suit all skin types and tones which is something that +Sleek MakeUP clearly focus on.

These have strong lasting power and when I have applied these, they stay on for most of the day when I'm out and about (at least 6-8 hours).

I've mentioned this throughout this post, but I could not emphasise it more!

For a drug store brand, these are SUPERR pigmented! These colours are so intense so you might want to play around with them so you can see how you like to wear them. I find it a lot easier to use a light hand to build the blush up rather then applying and blending out. I'm not saying they don't blend out...It just takes a while.

I think it's fair to say H BeautyXo loves Blush By 3 and gives it a big thumbs up! They have a wonderful range of colours of these palettes along with individual blushers. I only have three but feel like I really do not need any more because these alone would be perfect for any look, day or night.

If you're on the hunt for a high quality blush but not so much for paying a high end price, then you may love these just as much as I do!
