Addition to Addiction: Blush feat. Sleek

Hi there! This blog post is about some of my not-so-recent-purchases of blush and they are from a UK brand makeup called Sleek. Again, I bought them at Makeup Hub by Naturele Collezione. Maybe the next blog post will be about Makeup Hub by NC. Coz that virtual/internet/online shop is really awesome plus the fact that the owner is really nice.

Anyway, back to Earth and to my blog post, as I was saying this is going to be about the added blush/blushers to my collection and let's start.

Sleek Sunrise

  • Sunrise is a deep wine colored blush with some gold flexes
  • It has iridescence to it making it one of those blushes that gives the illusion of wearing a bronzer, highlighter, and blush.
  • Perfect for summer and olive skin toned people.
A swatch with flash
  • Here is the swatch and I did use flash photography so that the gold flex will be visible.
Sleek Coral
  •  Coral is a dark toned coral blush which has no flex of shimmer making it matte.
  • Gorgeous natural looking blush that works perfectly on medium skin toned people.
  • It's perfect for everyday use.
Without flash
  •  With this swatch, I did not use any flash because it's matte and I thought this will show up better with natural light.
Sleek Life's a Peach
  •  Life's a Peach is a light peach (of course) blush
  • Will look great on fair skinned people.
  • And this is one of the blushes that may give that healthy glow on your face.
A quick swatch
  •  The swatch looks washed out but that's exactly how it looks like.
I thought I had to share this. A quick comparison of Coral (R) and Life's a Peach(L).


Sleek Aruba
  •  Aruba is my first crazy orange blush and I love it!
  • If there's a hot pink, this baby is THE Hot Orange.
  • A light hand must be used in applying this blush because it's really pigmented.
  • I won't suggest this to be used on a daily basis, BUT if you have deeper skin tone, this may be THE blush for you. It's really gorgeous. I swear.
Totally washed out. :(
  •  The swatch is washed out. I'm sorry. But really, what you see in the pan is what you'll get if you swatch it.

In a general overview, Sleek blushes has:


    • Awesome pigmentation
    • Good amount of product: 8g for each pan.
    • Sleek packaging. No elaborate design whatsoever.
    • No unpleasant scent, at least to me.
    • Fair staying power. It didn't promised any '24hrs' longevity anyway.
So, I hope you found this post helpful and and if you did, I totally recommend you try them too. If you live in the Philippines, you can get your hands on these products thru Makeup Hub by Naturele Collezione , they are 400php each. Very affordable if you consider the amount and pigmentation of the product you'll be getting.

Thanks for reading! Bye! ;)

Addition to Addiction: Lipsticks

Hi y'all! I'm here to share to you guys the newest addition to my lipstick collection. These are UK brand lipsticks that I got/bought from Makeup Hub by Naturele Collezione.

Let's start with lipsticks from Sleek. And I got the shades Stilleto and Amped.

Stilleto
  •  Sleek True Colours Lipstick in Stilleto
      • This has a matte finish.
      • Blue based red.
      • A bit drying so lip balm prior applying is a must.
Amped
  • Sleek True Colours Lipstick in Amped
      • This has a matte finish
      • A bubblegum pink 
      • A bit drying and flakes after hours of wearing so do use lip balm prior to wearing.
      • Pat to apply. Don't glide.
Next is Models Own. And the only lipstick that I own from the brand.

Plum
  • Models Own lipstick in Plum
      • Has bluish-indigoish flex that gives it a sheen finish
      • Glides on easily
      • A festive fun color.
      • I'm actually not a fan of this particular lipstick because I prefer creme to matte finish lipsticks but I thought owning one with flex wouldn't hurt anyway. 
 Moving on, the last three that I have are from Miners Cosmetics

Vixen
  •  Miners Matte Effect in Vixen
      • Although marketed as 'Matte' this has a creme finish
      • In my opinion, one of the prettiest if not THE PRETTIEST vampy shade of lipstick I've seen
      • Glides on easy.
      • Has a candy scent.
Icon
  •  Miners Lip Colour Lipstick in Icon
      • Deep wine, eggplant shade
      • Perfect for fall season
      • Glides on easily
      • Non drying.
  •  Miners Moisture Effect Lipstick in Moulin Rouge
      • Blue based red.
      • One of my favorite red lipstick
      • Non drying
      • Doesn't flake
      • Glides on easily.
Bottom line, of all the six new lipsticks I have, my favorite would be Moulin Rouge and my least favorite is Models Own. These lipsticks do transfer. If you are the type of person who minds reapplying their lipstick every 3 hours these aren't the lipstick for you. But if you don't, I bet you'll enjoy the richness of the colors specially Vixen and Icon.

So, there you have it. I hope you find this post helpful and please do check out Makeup Hub by Naturele Collezione in Facebook.

Thank you so much for reading! :)

Blush Alert!

Hey guys! I'm back. I'm not going to talk about the reason why I was M.I.A. for so long coz it's not interesting at all. Instead, I'll be showing you my next blog entry. I currently own more than 10 blushes at the moment that I will be sharing with you.


This is just a preview coz I'm planning to talk about them one by one or by brand. :) That's all for now! Have a nice day!
