Unfortunately I'm not able to see any sleek products unless I order them online because there are not any sleek counters near where I live so buying these were a bit of a risk as I didn't know how they would look and whether or not they would be suitable for my skin type. However I must say that I've been really impressed by these two products and I thought that I would share them.

| Sleek Face Contour Kit |
First of all, I absolutely love the packaging of these products. They look professional and sophisticated and I love the logo as well. I like that the product clips shut so that it doesn't open whilst in your makeup bag and go everywhere, and I really like the colour as well.

| Sleek Contour Kit in Light |
The first product is the Sleek Contour Kit. This product consists of a pressed powder used to define the cheeks and nose and also a highlighter to be used alongside the powder. The powder itself is matt, but the highlight has a slight shimmer to it. I've been using a blush brush to apply this product so far, as I am waiting to buy a slanted contour brush to use in the future, but it does the job well.
As I wasn't able to test the colour of the product to see what shade I needed, I decided to play it safe and go for the lightest shade Sleek make. I am glad I decided this because the product is really pigmented and you do not need a lot of product at all. However, the product does give you great definition, especially on your cheeks and along your cheekbones and it gives you a really healthy glow.
Another big bonus of this product is that is so reasonably priced, at only £6.49. Usually you would pay this for a similar powder or bronzer alone, which makes it great value for money. As I've already said you don't need to use a lot of this product each time so it is bound to last you a considerable amount of time too.

To compliment the contour kit, I also purchased a new blush. This was the first blush that I had brought from Sleek, so it was good to try something new.
Like the contour kit, I've found that the blush is really pigmented and you don't need to use a lot of product. I usually just take my blush brush, give it a quick sweep across the blush and tap off any excess and apply to the apple of my cheeks. Sometimes I find that I don't need to reapply the blush to the brush before the second cheek, that's how pigmented the product is!
As before I wasn't able to swatch the product before I brought it and on the website I fell in love with the shade 'Flamingo.' I have to say it is much pinker and brighter than the picture on their website and at first I was slightly scared of it. I thought it would make me look ridiculous but once I found out that I didn't need much product I was more confident about wearing it. Once it is on your face it doesn't look half as scary as expected and it gives a healthy looking and natural looking blush to your face. It really isn't harsh and it blends extremely well. I love that it is a matt blush as it contrasts to the other blushes I have which contain slight shimmers.
Another bonus is obviously the price of the product. At £4.49 they are an absolute bargain and with a choice of 10 shades you really are spoilt for choice. In addition, each blush as well as the contour kit have a mirror half on the other side of the compact which is great if you are taking this out and about with you.

I've incorporated these two products into my makeup collection and now regularly wear them. I've noticed a massive difference in my makeup when I've worn these products and would thoroughly recommend these to people that are looking for a new blush or contour set. I plan on expanding my collection of 'Sleek' products even further, with my next purchase likely to be the blush in 'Rose Gold.'
