Sleek #926 Rose Gold, 8g/0.27oz ($6.99)

Rose Gold is a gorgeous, pinky-coral blush that will suit most skin tones. It is quite shimmery and has micro particles of gold glitter running through it. Undoubtedly, some people will find the shimmer factor off putting but with a light hand they could easily use Rose Gold as a highlighter instead. 

Just check out the photo below! The camera's flash really shows how illuminating it can be. Personally, the micro-glitter isn't an issue for me. On my medium, warm skin tone, the gold particles just add a nice glow and push this blush a bit more to the coral side. 

Here are some swatches so you get an even better idea of what the product is like.

This is the blush really built up. You can see everything intensifies, even the glow!

Verdict?
Colour/Pigmentation: Good. Gorgeous colour. Suits a lot of skin tones and very easy to wear. No chunks of glitter but the shimmer may still be too much for some. 
Lasting Power: Good. Despite my oily skin, I can still get a standard, 9-5 day's wear. Colour fades a little by the afternoon but the shimmery highlight stays put. 
Blendability: Good. Silky, finely milled and very easy to blend. Doesn't emphasise pores unless it's really built up and the highlight becomes too much.
Packaging: Good. Sleek! Mirror takes up one whole side, compact, sturdy and very travel friendly. However, base is a bit thin so it may be difficult to open. 
Final thoughts:  I love it! Whether you wear it on its own or layer it over a matte blush, it's always gorgeous! Considering the quality of the product and the amount that you get, $6.99 is a steal! Unless you're strictly devoted to matte blushes, everyone should have this in their make-up collection! 9.5/10
