My first Sleek Blush lives up to the hype!

 

Sleek Blush in "Suede"

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard the buzz about Sleek Makeup's blushes, which hopped over the pond from the UK. Their blushes look very similar to NARS blushes and are supposed to have high-end quality pigmentation at drugstore prices.

Shake up Your Makeup with Plum Blush!

It's getting cold out here in L.A.- I went to the beach last weekend for one last hurrah and promptly froze my *ss off, turned around, and went back home :( *Sigh*. Almost time to trade the bikinis for trench coats and flip flops for boots... but not just yet. Until then, all I can do is Fall-ify my makeup and nails... since the cooler weather suddenly makes bright peach cheeks and neon pink nails seem out of place.

My new beauty obsession this season is plum-colored blush, which looks so chic and makes a girl stand out from the rosy-cheeked crowd. It might seem intimidating at first, seeing purple blush in the pan, but use a skunk brush and a light hand and you'll get a gorgeous flush of plum.

Here are few that are guaranteed to look amazing with any Fall outfit: 

"MAC "Plum Foolery" Blush (light to medium skin tones)

 

 Black Radiance "Plum Sorbet" Blush (medium to dark skin tones)"

 

Bobbi Brown "Plum Wine" Blush (medium skin tones)

 

Chanel "Plum Attraction" Blush (olive to tan skin tones)

 

 Milani "Plum Parfait" Blush (olive to dark skin tones)

 

MAC "Breath of Plum" Blush (light to medium skin tones)

Note: All references to skin tones are suggestions only! You can definitely experiment with any of these colors, no matter what your skin tone :)

Would you wear plum blush in the Fall?
