Review: Sleek Blush in Rose Gold is LOVE!

Best Blogger Tips

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold
Sleek Blush in Rose Gold

I have found a gem in Sleek's Rosegold blush! The color is so pretty on the pan, and even more so when swatched. The color is peachy pink with a gold sheen to it. On my NC35 skin, it's more peach than pink. The golden sheen is really pretty and gives a highlighted effect on your cheeks. It's like putting on blush and highlighter at the same time. Super Pretty!

It's great with my NC35 skin tone, and I would assume it would look great with most skin tones too. The color is very universal. I have to warn though that this blush is VERY pigmented so make sure to use a light hand when applying. With a light hand and my ELF Stippling Brush, the result is really good - a pinky peach golden glow on my cheeks. Here's a swatch of how lovely this blush is:

Here's how pretty the blush is on the cheeks.


PROS
- very pretty peachy pink color with gold sheen
- 8g of product for P400? What a steal!
- powder is finely milled. applies smoothly.
- super pigmented
- staying power is above average
- gives a lovely sheen on your face - no highlighter needed! 
- packaging is sleek and compact (i just love matte cases!)
- some say this is a very close dupe to the cult favorite NARS Orgasm

CONS
- due to the sheen, this will tend to highlight large pores on the cheeks (if you have large pores)
- available only online. Sleek has no physical store in the Philippines. 
- i can't think of anything else! 

OVERALL THOUGHTS
For only P400 and with such great color and quality, this blush is a steal! The color is really pretty and universally flattering i would highly recommend this to be a staple in every girls makeup stash. If you've been dying to have NARS Orgasm but taken aback by its price, this will be a great replacement. 

TIPS
- since the blush is crazily pigmented, make sure to apply with a light hand. It is so easy to go overboard with this blush. Start with a light application and just build until you reach your desired color intensity. 

Do you own Rose Gold? How do you find it?

  2. Hi Sarah! I'm a big fan of your blog! Actually the reason why i got Rose Gold is because i loved so much your swatch of this blush in your blog. I also love how it looked so pretty on the cheeks in your Pakistani Bridal look.
