PRODUCT REVIEW-3.

These are the lovely products that will complete this review.

They are the Sigma F05 Contour Brush, Sleek Blush by 3 Pallette and the W7 Blush Brush.
The steepest product in this line-up will be the Sigma Brush which was about €20's thereabouts. The Sleek Blush by 3 in Flame with Bonfire, Molten and Furnace inside, was not more than a tener while the Blush Brush was really cheap and I got both brushes from Amazon and the Sleek Blush set from the Sleek website.


I absolutely adore this product. I love a warm glow to the skin and am not really a fan of light blushes and this pallette is just perfect for experimenting within that zone of warm tones. I use either or about every day when I head out both during the day and at night and would probably not need to purchase blushes for a long time lol. But they are pigmented and do stay on the cheeks once applied giving a warmy look to your face.





The Sigma F05 Brush is really good for contouring your face. I love this product. It does take a bit of getting used to but is perfect for contouring your cheeks and picks up the product reallly well.
Here is just a close up of the bristles on the brush. Thought it will be handy to show you all that as well.

I love this brush so much especially since it was so cheap. I do not remember the price but it was less than €10 any ways and it is a good quality blush brush I purchased from Amazon which is also amazing as I'm sure everyone knows. Yeah so this brush picks up the powder of the blush really well and is easy to use to apply on the cheeks and it has a wide layout as is obvious and the handle is wooden and really hard but easy to control.

I would definitely recommend this blush brush to anyone.



Here are the bristles. I just love looking at them as they pack the colour really well. They are also soft to touch and like I said easy to apply on the face. I use this brush with my Sleek Blush by 3 Pallette-Flame-and with my Mac Raizen Blush and it picks up all these colours effectively well.







Thanks for checking out this 3 part post!


See you all soon!

PRODUCT REVIEW-2.

Here are my three recent purchases from Sleek. The Storm Pallette, The Sparkle Limited Edition 2 Pallette and the Life's  A Peach Blush.








This Blush gives a nice healthy glow to the cheeks and is perfect for day time. I've used it sparingnly as I like a more heated look more similar to Mac's Raizen but if anyone is a fan of that more glowy look this is definitely a do and it even has a little mirror.







This is the Storm Pallette. The colours are muted and neutral but with a hint of sparkle as is visible. I use this pallette during the day time and stick to the matter colours of brown and ochres and yellows and blacks and I reserve the sparkly colours for night time like the lovely shimeery blue or deep ivory green which are perfect crease colours to use to highlight your eyes and intensify and create a smoky look on a night out.






This lovely product right here is Sparkle. I use it at night time mainly because the colours are too shimmery for my taste during the day time. But as a night time pallette it has a range of hues to offer that can be mixed around to create a range of looks.











This is a brilliant Tangle Teezer I purchased from Boots for about €20 which is steep for a brush if you ask me but it does the job. It combs through the hair taking out all the tangles without pulling out the hair along with it.
As you can see the bristles are thin and from experience I am a huge fan of this product and it is definitely a product I do not regret purchasing.







I use the Olive Oil Edge Control on my edges and the front of my hair. It has a sort of minty buttery smell and smoothes the hair down. I cannot say more than that at the moment but it was only a fiver and is definitely a product worth purchasing for those stubborn hairs you want to stay in place.









I am still trying to review this product as currently I use Mac's Blot Powder to as a finisher but this was about €8 minus tax and shipping from Sleek and it is their Translucent Powder in Deep. I will be reviewing this product more in the future but I decided to purchase it to try out in tropical climates as my Blot Powder does not work in that situation and ends up giving off a cakey finish rather than a smooth one.
