I love Sleek blushes. They're cheap, highly pigmented and easy to work with, and they come in a generous compact with a huge mirror. What's not to like?
Life's a Peach s no exception to any of the above, and being a pretty, warm orangey-peach, it's the perfect shade for giving your cheeks that summer glow we all crave at this time of year. It might look a bit scary in the pan, but while it is very pigmented and easy to pick up on the brush, it's pretty buildable, giving you options about how you choose to wear it. A light wash of colour is really flattering on bronzed skin, but if you really want to stand out from the crowd then this blush will easily do that job too.
While it is easy to work with, I must admit that it doesn't pick up on the brush quite as well as some of Sleek's other shades - but saying that, it does blend out more easily than, say, Rose Gold. It's also nice and finely milled, making it silky soft in texture, and wears really well without becoming streaky or patchy.
Left: blended out. Right: Swatched quite heavily.

This has quickly worked its way up in my blush repertoire and is up there in my top three for the summer months.
Sleek Life's a Peach is available at a bargainous £4.49 from Superdrug.
Have you tried anything from Sleek?
If so, what is your favourite?

Love the Sleek blushes too! I've been eyeing this one for the longest time. And you're right, it looks perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteLove how the blush is matte. That way it's more wearable and you can always add a highlighter after :)

I actually tend to prefer blushes with a slight subtle shimmer, but this one is such a lovely shade that it's still a winner in my eyes. A lot of my highlighters have been made a bit redundant so it's nice to be able to dig them out again and pop them on with this xx
DeleteI love Sleek blushes. The quality is so good for the price xx

I know, so good aren't they? I think they really rival some of the more expensive brands. xx
DeleteGreat review - I really need to buy/try some Sleek stuff, I keep forgetting about them!

Give them a go, you won't look back - I'd go so far as to say their blushes are the best from a high-street brand, and their Face Form kits are fantastic. xx
DeleteSleek makes their blushers so pigmented and high quality :)
ReplyDeleteThey do! Such a bargain for the price xx
DeleteOh wow I love this! It looks do vibrant! I have Rose Gold and the new Candy Collection trio and I love them.
ReplyDeleteI love Rose Gold too - I got it as part of the Face Form kit, which I'd be lost without!xx
DeleteOoh what a beautiful shade, I really want to try a Sleek blush!

You should, they've got so many gorgeous shades and are so reasonably priced. xx
DeleteI've never tried sleek before, but the products look really good! Im not sure this is the right shade for me.. but it's a lovely colour. Great post! x

It is a bit bright, but there are plenty of other gorgeous shades to choose from :)xx
DeleteOh this looks very pretty. Basically like CORALista without the shimmer. Darn it, I should've grabbed this when I was still in London! x
ReplyDeleteRaves 'nd Ramblings - I'm also on bloglovin'.
Yes! I think Coralista is slightly pinker but both are beauts!xx
DeleteI've never tried Sleek because I'm living in America, but I may just have to try one soon! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get hold of them somewhere, they are lovely!xx
Deletethat's a pretty shade! I love coral/orange blushes and it looks like it's blending beautifully. can't go wrong with the price either! x

Me too, I still crack them out even in the winter months as I just find that they brighten up any look and flatter my skin tone the best. xx

DeleteLooks a gorgeous colour Mel - especially for summer as you say! Can you believe I've not even tried the Sleek blush I bought a while ago? Must open it up and have a bash! xx
ReplyDeleteHaven't you!? Why, were you not that keen on the colour in the end? Give it a try, they are lovely!xx
