Product Review: Sleek Blush in Rose Gold



Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all having a great week- I have been a busy bee attending classes at college, going to work and juggling an essay!

Today I am doing a review of the Sleek Shimmer Blush in Rose Gold. I picked up this very reasonably priced blusher (£4.49 from Superdrug) a few weeks ago after reading lots of rave reviews from other bloggers claiming that its a great dupe for NARS' Orgasm blush. Never one to pass up on a bargain dupe, I thought I'd give it a go!

I found this blush really hard to photograph purely because it has so many different elements to it that the shade varies with the light. If I had to describe it I would say it is a bright, pink-coral shade with gold pigments in which give it a slight shimmer. Although it looks as though it is really pigmented it is actually very subtle on the skin, but could be built up for a more dramatic look.

All in all I really like this blusher. I am not normally a big fan of 'shimmery' blushes, but this one is subtle enough for everyday and doesn't leave my face lit up like a Christmas tree. If I had one criticism of this it would be that it is less of a coral shade than it appears in the pan, but this is really not a deal breaker for me and I will definitely keep using it. Seeing as I don't actually own the NARS Orgasm blush I can't really comment on Sleek's offering as a good dupe, but it is definitely another winning shade which I will be using again and again.

Have you tried this blush? Let me know your thoughts!

    I bought this a few weeks ago, but haven't used it yet - but after this review I'm really looking forward to it. It's a lovely and natural looking shade! :o). Xx

    I love this blusher. I haven't tried the Nars one either. It looks lovely on you.

      Thanks so much, it is one of my favourites at the moment and a cheaper alternative to the NARS one!

    This really does look similar to Nars Orgasm, it looks really great on you! You have amazing cheekbones :)

      Thank you :) but it's probably just down to a bit of contouring! I really struggled to try and get a decent photo of this blush now that it gets dark so early!

    I haven't used this, but I've been tempted to buy it a few times, it's such a pretty colour! Might just have to get it next time!
    Great Post :)

      I was the same, I'd heard about it but just never committed to actually getting it until now! You should give it a go though :)

    It looks really pretty! Too bad that Sleek is so hard to find in Bulgaria!

      Oh that's such a shame! You could always try the NARS version if your wallet allows it!!
