Sleek blush in ˝Keep it 100˝ and RT 213 Foundation blender brush

I remember a few years ago when eye palettes from Sleek were a must. They were on every beauty blog and I was drooling over them and admiring their versatility. In our country Sleek was available only online, influencers loved to stock up while traveling to London and made us all a bit jealous... ok, that was back then. Now we have almost forgotten Sleek in our stores and it’s not my primal choice of makeup when I go exploring. Their products are very visually appealing, but by my humble experience, filled with glitter and I think I’m just too old for that.

Long story short. A few weeks ago when I was trying to cheer myself up from all those bad Corona virus related news in a local drugstore, I noticed something new and very pleasant – new blushes from Sleek. I used to own one and loved it, so I was excited to check them out.

I picked Keep it 100 which is a lovely darker mat pink color, perfect for autumn. There were no testers available and the light in the store gets a bit tricky sometimes, but this one looked the most like something I like to wear. It looks a bit scary in the pan, but it is very nice and flattering in person.

This blush is super pigmented, so you need to be careful with the application. I find it to be a very long-wearing and overall amazing product for the price. It comes in a classic-like compact plastic case with a mirror inside, which is great.

Another thing I picked up that day was 213 Foundation blender brush from Real Techniques. This was on my wish list for a longer time and I was so happy when I saw it in person. I really enjoy using it, it is practical to hold and works nicely. I mostly use it for blending my bronzer or blush. I’ve never used it for foundation and I doubt I ever will. Its bristles are dense but super soft and it is easy to clean. Cute little chubby helper.

Wishes

It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look. Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
