Packaging
The packaging is nice, very plain and simple, nice and compact so it fits easily into your makeup bag, clear front so you can easily see what colour it is, and clearly labeled on the back so you know its name, nice and sturdy hinges as well.
It doesnt look very classy however, and it doesnt have a mirror but im not going to grumble about that when im only paying £6.

Staying power
None of these seem to disappear through out the day, and they keep their vibrancy well, I dont have oily skin however so I dont normally have any problems with my blushes melting off, no matter what brand I use!

Blended, L-R Angel, Nutmeg, Raisin, Summer Peach, Pinky.

Angel

Colour- This is a light flesh toned colour, it isnt too pink or too orange just a perfect mix of the two, a lovely natural glow of colour. It has little flecks of silver frost in it which gives your cheeks a nice dewy glow.

Application- This is a very soft blush, that glides on effortlessly, a little goes a very long way, and it has a beautiful soft silky feel to it, it is not bitty or chalky.

I would recommend :)

Nutmeg

Colour- This is a similar colour to Angel but it is darker with a slightly more bronze tone, it blends out to a lovely bronze toned peach. it hasnt got any majorly noticeable frost or shimmer in it, it does have a dewy satin finish though.

Application- This is a very soft formula, that glides on effortlessly, a little goes a long way and you can build the intensity up with a couple of layers, it feels soft and silky and is not bitty or chalky.

I would recommend :)

Raisin

Colour- this is a mauve colour that gives a lovely sweep of a dusty plum colour to the cheeks, it looks very natural as its not too purple. Again there is no obvious frost but it does give a dewy satin finish.

Application- its lovely and soft, that glides on easily, you can build up the colour to make it more intense, and it isnt chalky or bitty, it is slightly more sheer then you would think looking at it in the pan, but I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing especially for pale girls like me.

I would recommend :)

Pinky

Colour- Its the perfect fun barbie pink, that is slightly more on the blue tone. you can layer this colour so it is very bright or just do a light sweep for rosy pink cheeks! It has got a very slight silver frost which gives a lovely dewy glow.

Application- this goes on very smoothly, the formula is very silky and fine, it doesnt crumble and isnt chalky or bitty, you can layer for more intensity as well.

I would recommend :)

Summer Peach

Colour- this is a very true peach colour that isnt too orange or too pink, its a very nice colour in the pan and gives a nice peach hint of colour to the cheeks, however the pigmentation is rather poor and you have to apply rather a lot of product, it also has this amazing gold shimmer in the pan (like Nars orgasm) but unfortunately it does not transfer onto the cheeks, its almost as if the gold glitter falls off.

Application- This is a very hard formula so it is hard to transfer the product onto your brush and therefore your cheeks so the pigmentation is poor, I also find it is slightly bittier then I like so it does not go on as smoothly as the others.

I would not recommend :(

Unblended top- 'summer peach', bottom- Sleek makeup
blush in 'Rose Gold'

Blended, Top- 'Summer peach', bottom- Sleek makeup blush in 'Rose Gold'

So the sleeks blush in rose gold is how I thought the summer peach would look (rather like Nars 'Orgasm' dont you think?) I would 100% recommend the sleek one over the NYX one, it is lovely!

Sleek blush reviews coming soon!
