Bourjois little round pot cream blush 03

So I bought another cream blush. I know, there's something wrong with me. But hey, whaddya gonna do?!? 
Yes, this one. I have absolutely no idea what the shade is called, but who cares when you have a model that looks similar to the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe on the top, right? 
I love these little round pots, they're awesome, coming with their very own mirror in the lid. 
A dusky pink, great for pale/light skin tones... 
It blends out quite sheerly, so if you have light-medium skin you'll want to blend less for it to stand out a bit more on your cheeks. 
It lasts around 4-6hrs without MoM on my oily/combination skin but with MoM it lasts 12. It looks and feels beautiful on the skin, and is perfect for every season.

Bourjois Cream Blush 02 Healthy Glow

I've wanted to get my hands on another of Bourjois' beautiful cream blushers ever since I got my grubby little paws on their Blush Exclusif last year. 
So I went ahead and did just that! I had to go on the colour of the pot, as the tester in store had dried up so hard that it had cracked into about six pieces and fallen apart. 
It's a beautiful peachy colour, absolutely perfect for spring and summer. Also if you have light to medium skin, this will be a fantastic, all year round light flush. 
It swatches beautifully, blends easily into the powdery finish and lasts on my cheeks for a full 12hrs, as long as my t-zone has been primed with Milk of Magnesia first, otherwise the oil around my nose wears away the colour within about 4-6 hours. 
For me this is a definite must-have colour, perfect for all year round naturally flushed cheeks.

Sleek Blush by 3 Californ.I.A

I saw this blush on someone else's blog and I thought to myself "I must have this blush palette, I must!". The thing is, I'm not exactly short on the whole blush situation, I have at least 12 different blushes, both powder and cream formula, but what harm would three more do?
So the box looks like this. I love Sleek packaging. It's just so... Sleek.
I thought I'd include the ingredients for y'all to see, so it might help you decide before you buy this little beauty.
When I opened it up I was delighted to see these three stunning colours. From left to right (both in above and below photo's):
Newport Beach, The Surf, OC
Swatched on the back of my hand, these three colours are so creamy and blendable, and look really beautiful. As you can probably tell, Newport Beach and OC are more pigmented than The Surf, which is sheer when blended out and also has a light shimmery finish.

I think this is a fantastic palette for pale to medium skin, these cream blushes can be used on their own or blended together for a more customised look, they can be blended out to a simple, sweet flush or built up for more blush-drama.
This sells for £9.99, and to be perfectly honest, it's worth every penny. If Sleek do any other cream blush palettes in the future I will definitely buy them.
