Pfff, i can't think of a reason why I didn't write a review before about Flamingo. It is such staple in my makeup that I reach for soooo often. In fact I was so sad because I dropped it and the blush broke all over the bathroom floor :( Luckily for me there is a new one in the post making it's way to me <3 It's a hot pink blush and very pigmented. You only need to dab lightly in order to flush your cheeks with just the right amount. Start light and that way you can build up to your desire. Whenever you want to look fresh, rested and healthy this blusher will do the trick for you. It looks very natural which is something you do not expect when you stare at the colour in the pan. I love Flamingo and will keep repurchasing whenever I run out. It absolutely rivals with the high end blushes which I also own. Oh and the best bit I apply it in the morning and in the evening it's still there. The only makeup I carry around with me are lip products, the rest doesn't move and stays put. In conclusion, I highly recommend Flamingo blush by Sleek, super product!

this blush is absolutely gorgeous!!!! when i put this on i get an instant face brightening effect. flamingo is a bright pink with a dash of coral. it suits my nc40 skin tone so well but i can imagine it working on almost all skin tones. it is pigmented so a light hand may be needed. i now have 3 sleek blushes and love them all but loving this one a teeny bit more each time i wear it.

The packaging of this blush is the usual Sleek quality - very sturdy and compact with a large usable mirror.
Flamingo is a hot pink matte blush that is insanely pigmented.
I literally touch the very end of my brush onto this blush, do a light swipe on the back of my hand to spread the tiny amount over more of the bristles, and using a VERY light touch blend over the cheeks.
I have very light skin, so it is quite strong on me and I have to be VERY careful not to overdo it. Because this product is so bright and so pigmented, I probably wouldn't recommend for other pale girls, but I have used this on some of my friends with more 'normal' skin tones and it looks amazing. It also lasts all day.
With the tiny amount I need to use to get good color, this pan will last me for ever!

When I bought this blush, it was already broken - but it was the last one on the shelf and Sleek isn't sold in Canada.

The pigmentation of this blush is AMAZING! I only need to apply a bit since I'm afraid of it giving me a "sunburned" look. I want to order more in the near future since they have awesome pigmentation and I love the bright colours.

I have fallen in love with sleek blushes. I have minscule collection but it is treasured pixie pink and blush by 3 in pink sprint.
Flamingo is a strong colour (even for me NC40) so I use it sparingly. This is fab as it will last ages.
The colour is nicely pigmented and blends well. I don't feel overdone in this colour. It compliments my skin tone beautifully.

Skin: very pale (nc10 mac, Nars SG Siberia) combination (dry facky patches, oilyness and normal) acne prone and sensitive.


I bought this blush because I wanted a great quality blush from the high street, and lot's of people recommended to me. The blush size is 6g


The packaging of the blush is sleek and plain matte black with the brand name sleek on the front in black shiny writing. Inside there is a mirror that is quite a good size.

The blush: The colour is a bright matte pink. It applies evenly and smoothly and is very pigmented you only need the lightest of touch to get a nice pink gloww to the cheeks.


Longevity: this lasted 12 + Hours on me.


Will buy again if needed. such a lovely pink blush

PRO'S:

- Only costs £4.29 for 8g of product, very affordable.
- Mirror included in packaging.
- Long wearing.
- Blendable.
- Pigmented.


Flamingo is a gorgeous bright hot raspberry pink which can be built up to your liking. I can go for a sheer hint of colour or a bright pop of colour depending on how heavy a hand I use to apply. Despite looking really intense in the pan, it doesn't look clownish on my skin at all (I'm an NC20). The quality - IMO - is much better than all the MAC and NARS blushes. It's the only blush that has stayed on me all day without fading or disappearing. No breakouts either.

I bought this at Drugstore when i was in England and I didn't know anything about this brand. It's a very good quality blush, it pigments very well (you actually want to be careful with it, especially if you're very fair like me) and the packaging is similar to those of Nars. It's got a mirror in the inside and the outside is plastic, so the powder doesn't get everywhere.
Flamingo is a very bright, coral-pink shade that i think would flatter a lot of skin tones. Just be very light handed!

I cannot say enough good things about this blush!
I took gossmakeup's advice and CP it from UK although it would have been much cheaper to get it on eBay. It is crazy pigmented and goes on smoothly and has a nice sheen you expect from expensive blushers like Bobbi or Nars. It is a huge size for its pigment and I don't see myself using it up in the next 3 years of using it on a daily basis.
My skin has yellow undertones so this cool pink makes my cheeks really pop but not in an unnatural way. It's brilliant. My new HG!
Great buy!

Such a pretty colour! This looks extremely bright in the pan but it's very buildable and can look very natural.

I recently went crazy over Sleek makeup, by the time I realize I had a problem, I have already spent close to £75 and received a massive shipment of Sleek makeup. It's amazing what £75 can get you worth in Sleek makeup.
Anyways, though I love this blush a lot and think price and quality is quiet unbeatable, I dont think it can be measured up to Nars Blushes(being a huge Nars blush fan right here!). I did find this blush(in fact ALL the Sleek blushes that I brought) came off a little bit chalky.
Pigmentation is fantastic, with a light hand you cant go wrong with this blush. I dont think Flamingo has any shimmer in it, well not that I can see noticeably. Flamingo is a nice bright pink, but to me the colour is very standard I just didn't find any "wow" factor in it.
I dont regret buying it despite giving it only 3 lippies, being a huge blush collector, I'm always happy to add another blush to my collection.

Anything that prevents me from spending $27 or up on a Nars blush and is just as good - if not, better - then I'm all for it! These Sleek blushes do the job! Used with a light hand, this particular shade brightens my face! I have another Sleek blush in Scandalous and bought that one because I was craving Nars' Exhibit A but just couldn't justify the price. That shade is an EXACT DUPE! I don't know what Flamingo dupes but either way, it's a wonderful shade and these blushes can go toe-to-toe with Nars in as far as staying power and pigmentation, also! Love these blushes!

Beautiful hot pink color with a hint of coral. Extremely pigmented so you should use a very light hand. It's long lasting and really flattering. It's a matte color but I do think it also gives you a very pretty sheen, it really makes your whole face glow. You get quite a lot of product and the packaging is good as well. Will definitely repurchase.

I LOVE this blush. SAs usually push plums and bronzes for my deep skin tone but this bright pink is universally flattering. Applied with a light hand it truly creates a pretty blush. A MUA recommended the Sleek line because of their heavy pigments with a d/s price tag and they are fabulous. Favourably comparable to any high end blushes I've tried - even the packaging is cool. Excellent.

Flamingo is a lovely, hot pink blush. IMO, it's a universally flattering color. Some say it's a matte blush but I do detect some sheen to it once applied to face, so, it's more of a satin finish.

This is an awesome blush - just like all the Sleek blushes I've tried so far.
It is extremely pigmented, so a little goes a very very very long way. Which is why I'll probably never have to repurchase it, cause it will last me forever :-)
The colour is a gorgeous hot pink which looks mightily scary in the pan but looks lovely if applied with a very light hand. Gives an amazing pink flush to the cheeks and adds just the tiniest hint of a sheen.
I have fair skin and I have to be careful not to use too much, but as it is so pigmented this would work wonderfully on darker skintones too.
At £3.99 is it incredible value for money - an absolute steal.

This blush is amazing. Vivid bright corally pink with a satin finish, I saw it in a Pixiwoo vid and rushed out to buy it. It's the blush on the right in the pic above. It is extraordinarily pigmented for a d/s blush, really comparable to a NARS blush imo. I use a skunk brush to apply lightly, otherwise I look like I have weird sunburn! Really beautiful when buffed in lightly, together with a bronzer to contour I look like I've been to a tropical beach, I don't know how else to describe the sultry glow it gives. I have 3 of these blushes but on my fair skin this is by far my favourite. And at £3.29 each they are an absolute bargain.
