[ MINI REVIEW 短評] 一抹嫣紅之Sleek Blush by 3 (LACE)

早前到了london 一遊,心想要試一試drugstore products. (其實很想很想買charlotte tilbury, 但還是忍手了…..) Sleek 算是中價品牌,性價比高, 所以一向都受人追捧.我也入手了幾件products. 現在先review 一下blush by three (Lace).

I went to London for a short trip in February and wanted to try some drugstore products. (Actually I wanted to try Charlotte Tilbury too, but I didn’t went for it.....) Sleek is counted as mid-range in drug store and being famous for its exceptional high quality. I have bought a few products and let me review the Blush by Three – Lace first.

Blush by 3 是一盒三色的胭脂. 根據色號, 有些胭脂是cream 狀, 有些是粉狀. 大家要小心選購! 由於保存期限, 我是傾向買粉狀的.

The blush texture varies across the different palette, some are cream blushes, and some are powder blushes. For the sake of product longevity, I prefer powder blush to cream one.

Lace 是偏珊瑚色的胭脂. 由左至右:

Lace palette leans on coral tone, from left to right:

Crochet左邊的是橙調珊瑚色 (Matte Orange Coral)

Chantilly中間是有閃粉的淺橙色. (Light coral with shimmers)

Chantilly右邊是粉紅色. (Pink-Coral tone)

試色時感到粉質非常好,而且顯色度很高. (新手注意要輕手一點了.) 持久度尚好, 大約4 -5 小時. 我是在LONDON 的 boots 購買. 但如果大家有興趣,可以直接到官網購買. 因為SLEEK有 international delivery 的. 而且運費合理, 不會太心痛~

I love the texture of this blush as it is pretty buttery. You are able to see the good colour payoff from the just a simple swipe. (Special handling is required for the new makeup lovers!) The lasting power is average which can be hold up to about 5 hours. I totally fall in love with this palette and I wish Hong Kong will have more choice on the affordable makeup! I bought this at the Boots @ London. If you wish to buy Sleek products, you may go to their official website to have a look. Sleek offers international delivery with a reasonable delivery charge!

[ Swatch 試色圖] 外國開架品牌 SLEEK 眼影盤 - Storm

上次講了Vintage Romance, 今次看Storm. (如果想看Vintage Romance 的試色,可以按此) Sleek 家的眼影有多紅,我不多說了. 看以下試色吧~!

I have talked about Vintage Romance and did some swatch before. We are talking about Storm for today! (If you have missed the blogpost about Vintage Romance, please click here!) I believe I do not have to mention how popular Sleek is in the makeup world. Let's see the swatch below!

Top Row: Earth Tone

Bottom Row: cold tone

Storm是很長青及很受歡迎的色號.上排6色是啡紅調的大地色, 下排6色是冷色系的深藍,墨綠.這個STORM 其實都很跳TONE. 因為大地色與冷色有所對比. 日常化妝可以多用上排的大地色, 下排的冷色可以用作EYELINE 或放在下眼線. 一個眼影盤,化出來的妝容可濃可淡. 難怪會成為一個如此POPULAR 的色號!

Storm is one of the popular palettes among the collection. It is well known for the shadow variety as it is a mix of neutral brown shades and cool toned purple / blue shades. The top row consists of neutral colour for the ease of daily usage while the bottom row can be used for lower eye line or put on the outer-v area. If you focus on using the bottom row, it gives you a very glamorous look. I LOVE the variety of the palette!!!

總的來說,眼影盤的配色都很美. 眼影顯色度高. 粉質很BUTTERY, 很順滑. 閃色 / SATIN FINISH 的表現令我很意外. 感覺得美,閃粉粒很細緻. 但matte 色系的好似比較不太易推開. 不過以性價比,我是真心推的, 值得一試!

Overall, the eye shadow are highly pigmented, a little goes a long way. It’s very smooth and buttery. I am very impressed with the shimmery / satin finish colours. The shimmer particles are very subtle. Yet some of the matte shade tend to have fall outs / not easy to blend. However, its price is totally unbeatable! For around HK$90, it is usually for the prize of quad and yet you are getting 12 colour eye shadow palette!

有興趣的,可以直接到SLEEK官網訂購. 官網提供INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY, 但要收取一定運費. (運費都很合理~) 如果怕官網的色圖有色差,大家可以再自行上網再爬文看看~

If you would like to try their product, you might go to local Boots or go to Sleek official website (provide international delivery)! As the reference photo on official website are not quite true to colour, I highly suggest view swatch from other bloggers too!

[ Swatch 試色圖] 外國開架品牌 SLEEK 眼影盤 - Vintage Romance

這陣子都很迷外國的開架品牌. 早前到LONDON,事前做了有關SLEEK 的資料搜集, REVIEW 大部分都正面. 但有好一些都會說眼影有點小飛粉. 在BOOTS 時試了上手,感覺不錯, 就入手了2 盒SLEEK 的12色眼影盤(STORM 及Vintage Romance).  如果想看STORM 的試色, 請按此.

I have been longed for the Sleek Eye shadow. The Sleek Eye Shadow has incredible review and good for value. There are certain reviews about the fall out of some shimmery shade. However, the pigmentation and texture of most eye shadow shades are worth trying. I have purchased two of the Sleek Eye Shadow palette (STORM & VINTAGE ROMANCE) during my London Trip. If you wish to see the blog pot of Storm, please click here.

Vintage Romance 對我來說是一個新嘗試.因為Vintage Romance 是帶有紫調的眼影盤. 我一向怕紫調, 因為怕會顯得眼腫. 今次真的跳出了Comfort Zone!~ 上排是傾向大地色,下排就是紫調.

Vintage Romance is totally a new try for me. I tend to avoid purple / red shade as those colours make my eye appear swollen. However, I felt if the purple doesn’t work out for me. I can put them into lower eyeline as accent colour. I can still get a lot of use of the palette with just the neutral shades, that’s why I think it’s worth trying. The top row is golden bronze shade while the bottom row is plumy purple tone.

Top row : earth tone
上排: 大地色

bottom row: purple plum tone
下排:紫調

總的來說,眼影盤的配色都很美. 眼影顯色度高. 粉質很BUTTERY, 很順滑. 但matte 色系的好似比較不太易推開. 12色的眼影盤, 只要大約HK$90. 這是一般開架4色眼影盤的價錢. 我是真心推的, 值得一試!

[ Dupe 雙生兒 ] 胭脂雙生兒 – NARS ORGASM VS ELF & SLEEK

如果以DRUGSTORE 的價錢就可以得到專櫃品牌產品的效果. 誰會不喜歡!?  這次要說的是比較幾個胭脂. 看看是不是大家口中的雙生兒!

If you can obtain the same effect with lower price, why not? I have 2 blushes on hand which are considered as dupes of Nars Orgasm. Let’s dig into details to determine whether they are dupes.

NARS 的ORGASM 胭脂是許多人的至愛, 橙紅帶有金色珠光FINISH, 輕輕一下都可以很自然. (官網形容為 Peachy pink with golden shimmer) ELF家的Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder – St. Lucia 被形容為NAR ORGASM & LAGUNA 的平價VERSION. 因為手邊沒有LAGUNA, 不能比較了.

Nars Orgasm is one of the famous blush among the peachy pink spectrum. According to the Nars official website, it’s Peachy pink with golden shimmer. The description is pretty accurate. Now it comes to the dupe, ELF Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder – St. Lucia. It is a compact with Blush & Bronzer, which the blush is considered to be dupe of Nar Orgasm and bronzer is considered as Nars Laguna. I only have the Nars Orgasm on hand thus just focus on the blush part.

看試色圖, ELF 家的色澤較橙調,明顯只有淡淡珠光.雙方大約只有8成相似. 假如你想妝感更自然低調, 我會推薦ELF 家的. (因為NARS 家的明顯珠光, 對新手比較難掌握. )

From the swatch, the ELF blush is peachy shade, however, it has less shimmery effect compared to Nars Orgasm. This is a subtle peachy cheek colour with matte finishing. I would said it is even more natural blush effect than Nars one. Would I consider ELF St Lucia blush as a Dupe? I won’t say it is a 100% dupe of Nars since the ELF blush only mimic the colour of Nars Orgasm but not the whole sheer glow finishing. However, I would still highly recommend this blush to those looking for a natural peachy pink shade of Nars Orgasm.

另外SLEEK 又算是性格比很高的品牌. SLEEK BLSUH BY 3 – LACE 中間的色調, 又是橙粉調加上少量閃粉. 而且,粉質比ELF 家的好多了,更貼近專櫃品牌感覺. SLEEK 家的胭脂比較粉紅調,與NARS  家的一樣有光澤感.

Another dupe for Nars Orgasm is Sleek blush by 3 – Lace. The middle shade is a peachy pink shade which has a hint of shimmer. I am impressed by its high quality texture which is comparable to luxurious brand. I would say this Sleek palette leans on the pinky side while having the same golden sheer compared to Nars Orgasm.

尚未決定入手那一個? 其實, 這三個產品都挻持久又顯色, 買任何一個都不會令你失望! 但豐儉由人, 大家按自己預算入手吧!

Overall, you won’t be disappointed if you buy any of these blushes. Since they are both long wearing with vivid color payoff. Spurge or purge? It’s totally up to you!
