Sleek MakeUP Be Beautiful Blemish Balm- Review & swatches

My readers were excited about the BB cream from Sleek makeup after hearing about the upcoming launch of this product.To be honest I too was eagerly waiting of this new product from Sleek Makeup. I have some BB creams from other brands but after using once I couldn't make my mind as to using them again. Usually I use only my moisturizer and sunscreen in my daily routine life only on especial occasions, I apply a foundation but no doubt that like everyone I was too excited to see the new BB cream from Sleek Makeup. I should say that I'm disappointed to get the Medium shade sent from the brand because it's not my shade at all and will be totally useless for me after one trial.  But As a blogger my reviews are not just for me so I'm feeling excited to write for my other readers who have medium to dark skin tones.

How to use

Sleek Makeup Be Beautiful Blemish Balm contains an SPF 15 and can be used as a primer and tinted moisturizer all in one promising to hydrate skin while concealing blemishes, providing full coverage, and offering anti-aging benefits according to Sleek.

In the mirror of my own experience

I was a bit disappointed to not get my actual color cream but after examining the product I'm determined to buy my own color for trying out. I have used some BB cream like Skin 79, Garniar's but never satisfied with them. After these experiences I had lost my interest in buying a BB cream for my face. I got those creams quite caky and found not of full coverage. Apart from it they make my skin sometimes oily and the other times, dry, but Sleek Makeup Be Beautiful Blemish Balm is designed to protect, moisturize, prime and conceal the skin. It is a full coverage BB Cream that is rich in pigmentation, yet very lightweight.

Packaging

Sleek MakeUp Be Beautiful Blemish Balm comes in a black packaging, inside it we find the product in a black  tube with a flip flap cap. The packaging is extremely decent and perfect for keeping anywhere. It's a good and safe packaging and I love it.

Texture

The texture of BB cream is quite thick like a liquid foundation. It's smooth and velvety and fully moisturizing.You can feel the softness while applying.

Pigmentation

This is the part which surprised me most. It provides full coverage, so that makes it rather thick. I always found BB creams where sheer coverage, so that was  completely  a surprise. You get full coverage even in a less amount of product which is really amazing.

Application

I applied it on my lovely medium skin toned friend to see it's exact effect. I took out quite less amount, applied on her face in dots all over the face, then blended well. I was amazed to see it blending power. The cream absorbed into the skin completely and left a flawless and even effect on her face. You may also use it like a concealer to cover skin imperfections and also layer it for more coverage.
 

Effect

Sleek Makeup are right when they say its skin perfecting. It’s virtually flawless and has a nice beautiful glow to it as well. When you use it as a concealer, it fully covers the imperfection of your face. Besides this It contains red algae extract which has anti-aging properties, antioxidant Vitamin C which aids in the reduction of skin discoloration giving the skin a natural radiant glow, Vitamin E which protects the skin from UV damage, Jojoba Oil for moisture, and peptides to aid in the repair of damaged skin. What a winning combination. It also contains SPF15 in the form of titanium dioxide,  which is not enough so  you should use another form of sunscreen as well.

After blending

You can clearly notice the difference in the skin tone (before & after blending)

Lasting power

The another part which made me surprised and that's it's lasting power.  The cream can last almost whole day on your face. You can see some fading effect at the end of the day but the effect doesn't show in patches or spots. You can easily apply it for a full day enjoyment of course.

Finally...

I'm currently loving this BB Cream and have decided to purchase a shade similar to  my skin tone. It's the cream which I'll want to apply again and again. Sleek Makeup has given such shades which I never saw in any brand's BB cream such as the dark one. The medium shade is also will go on many medium tones. I hope they will launch some more shades in future. Overall I extremely love this cream. It's really perfect for everyday use.

What Faces says...

In the mirror of my own experience

Combing my hair gently always  gives a strange pleasure to me.I has always  been searching some more comfortable combs that can make the meeting (between me and my hair) more relaxing and pleasing. I always comb my hair after breakfast for 10 to 15 minutes and it always feels pleasing. When I first used Faces brush I realized at the very first time that it'll be perfect for my hair.

I like the fact that it runs through my hair easily, doesn’t tangle the hair, and there’s enough flexibility in the bristles that I can maneuver it easily through my hair.It’s lightweight, and the grip is comfortable to hold My hair doesn’t tangle much, I really love to comb it with this hair brush.It's good to untangle the hair & I usually use it when i'm in a hurry.

 

Finally....

It's a brush worth buying  at your first chance. It's not big in size, very perfect for your hand. The handle is aptly built to give a decent control, and the bristles are well defined to brush through your hair smoothly from every direction.It never tangles my hair, apart from it, cleaning this brush is very easy so you can kept it always neat and clean. I clean my brush with a mild shampoo using a soft tooth brush and then dry it with a soft towel.

Recommendation

It's an ideal hair brush and I'll recommend it to all my readers and friends.

I always love to apply a matte lip color on my lips, I have lot of matte lip color in my drawer. This time I tried Elf Matte Lip Color at first time. I have used the Elf minty lip gloss before.Being a matte lip colors lover, I immediately decided to get this.

In the mirror of my own experience

Matte lip colors attract me at my first sight, for I'm not a great fan of shimmers or frosty lip colors on my lips. Elf Matte Lip Color was sounded good and I decided to try it out and after my own experience I can say that I got a lovely product which I really love.

Packaging

Elf's matte lip color comes in a black and coral packaging which looks beautiful.Inside the packaging we find a jumbo sized lip pencil with a twist tip to distribute product. This lip pencil comes with a sharpener at the end.Overall it's a exclusive and decent packaging. It's quite light weight and easy to carry out.

Texture

The texture is so creamy and velvety for a matte lipstick which are usually very drying on the lips. I find this great with or without lip balm underneath, but I would always recommend wearing lip balm underneath if you have dry lips.

Pigmentation

Elf's matte lip color in the shade coral offers a great pigmentation and very buildable. You can get the right shade just one or two swipes.

Application

It get's applied very easily & you don't even need a lip liner. It glides on smoothly but takes a little effort to get applied evenly. Like all matte lip products it is best to use on smooth lips, if used on dry/chapped lips product will settle in cracks.

Effect

I love the effect which I get after wearing it every time. It gives a natural and cool effect on my face. I can use it for daily wear. You never feel that you have applied something on your lip after applying it which I love.I applied it with quite dark eye makeup and it gives nude like effect.

Lasting power

It's long lasting too. It lasts for 5 to 6 hours easily on my lips which is good.

Good points

Lovely packaging which is very travel friendly too.
It comes with a sharpener too which is another plus point because sharpening the stick lip color has been really a headache without proper sharpener.
Silky soft texture.
Super pigmented.
Long lasting.
Gives a beautiful soft look to your lips.
Very reasonable price.

Bad points

May settle in cracks if applied on dry or chapped lips.
The name is quite deceptive as this shade is not exactly coral but very close to it.

Finally...

I love this lip color! First of all, I haven't really dry lips so I don't have any problem in using a matte lip color. If you have super dry lips, apply a lip primer, conditioner, or balm underneath for better results. It's super pigmented with creamy and soft texture. I love the coral, which has a little more of nude. It looks gorgeous with a dark or smokey eyes. I love the stick this comes in..Its like a fat pencil, but I can apply it more easily than normal lipstick. Overall, for four dollars you really can't complain. I was actually surprised by how great the shades are for the price point.
