Makeup Review

Sleek 'Rose Gold' Blush

I bought this a while back and I'm sure, by now, you've heard a lot about this blush. Before I got it, I'd heard nothing about it and just picked it up for the pretty colour and high pigmentation but before I knew it, it was suddenly raved about by ever beauty blogger and vlogger on the planet. So here it is, another review of the fabulous Rose Gold blush by Sleek! 


I love the packaging of all the Sleek products because it just looks so classy and sleek (see what I did there?). Anyway, this is no different. Black packaging with the logo and product type on the front in a perfect size for your makeup bag. It also has a really big mirror on the inside so this blush is really good for traveling and such.


So this is a really pretty rose coloured blush with gold shimmer through it which gives a really nice sheen to the cheeks without making you look like a glitter ball. This is the first Sleek blush I've tried and I'm so impressed! It has really high pigmentation and is really soft and easy to blend out. The picture doesn't do this blush justice because you can only really see the gold flex when it's swatched or on the cheeks and because of my camera, I couldn't really get a good picture of a swatch, sorry!! Anyway, if you're in a Superdrug or ordering from Sleek, definitely check this out, it's perfect for Autumn or Fall and it's really girly and wearable!

Skincare Update

Soap and Glory ~ No Clogs Allowed!

So, quite a while ago I purchased the No Clogs Allowed! super self-heating deep pore detox mask because I thought the concept of a 'self-heating' mask was really cool! The mask is pretty interesting actually, you smear it over your face and then, with wet finger tips, work it into the skin. As it reacts with the water, it heats up for a few seconds and then goes really refreshingly cold with a fresh, minty feel to it! After this, I instantly fell in love!

This is the old packaging so look out for a white tube with blue writing now!

Sadly, I was very disappointed with the results it had on my skin. I used it once a week for around 6 weeks and every week, my skin broke out more and more which was such a let down because I really loved putting the mask on and the whole idea behind it! For that reason though, I wouldn't recommend this because on my oily/combination skin, it really didn't do any favours. I also think that it would be a little too drying on drier skin.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, been really busy with school!
