Review: Sleek 'Coral' Blush

I've been meaning to get my hands on some Sleek makeup for some time and when I returned some clothes recently I was suddenly in credit again on PayPal - dangerous.

Among a few cheeky purchases with the PayPal money that was clearly burning a hole in my virtual pocket, I picked up this Sleek Coral Blush. I don't know if it's just me, but I go through real colour phases sometimes where I end up getting everything in that same shade (I had the red lipstick phase a while back). Don't worry though I haven't been rocking coral eye shadow, blush and lipstick in one....yet.

(Back to the review) First off, the packaging is sleek - har har - and reminds me of the style Nars go for. I also like the fact that there's a small mirror because you need a mirror for blusher, handy. The colour itself is warm and summery, the kind that looks good pre and post tan to warm up or compliment your skin. It's also pretty pigmented, so you only need a gentle sweep meaning it will last much longer too.

The formula isn't too powdery and it doesn't look like it will easily crumble, but even if it did at less than £5 a go it wouldn't be the end of the world. I actually got mine from Amazon in with the Sleek i Divine Au Natural Palette as I was buying a few bits here and there and it worked out cheaper.

Overall, very happy and if you want something that screams summertime then this is the blush. I will definitely be buying more, have my eyes on Pixie Pink, Flush, Life's a Peach, Suede....

NOTD: Blue Moon & Freak Out! Review

I bought this Barry M 'Blue Moon' nail varnish the other day as I thought it was just the perfect colour for Spring, if Spring fancies making an appearance that is! It's a really pretty pale blue that goes on almost translucent with a hint of colour on the first coat, so you definitely need two coats (I just typed cats and then coasts instead of coats...nightmare). I got it on offer in Boots, which I think was £1 off and for such a bargain it's a great nail polish.

Although I liked the colour on its own, I am so bad at painting nails it's like a crime or something. I just don't have the patience to get it done neatly and then I always touch it when it's not dry, which is probably why I don't post many NOTD posts. If like me your talents lye elsewhere then you need Models Own 'Freak Out!' in your collection. It has big and small flakes of glitter in it meaning you can hide any mistakes pretty easily and the clear part acts as a pretty decent top coat. They have loads of different colours too, so you can pick one with glitter pieces to match the majority of your collection (or all of them, I won't judge you).

Hope ya'll enjoyed this post, have you used these polishes before?
