Summer Lovin' Sleek GLO face & body highlighter review | KatieLewLa

Wednesday, July 24, 2013




Good afternoon me lovelies :)

Today is another product review in my Summer Lovin' series. Today's review (you've probably guessed it) is going to be on the Sleek Glo face & body highlighter! in the shade 'bronze baby'.
"This lightweight bronzer and highlighter adds a flawless, luminous tan to bare skin, and creates a radiant, even coverage when used over foundation or blush. Glo has five shimmering colour bars in each palette, ideal for alternating between shades or creating an eclectic range of looks."

This product is something I don't think I would have picked up on a browsing session in Superdrug. I actually got this in a Sleek kit that I bought for £10 at the fashion show live last year. I've recently begun to use it and I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. During the summer months I've ditched blushers and instead opted for bronzers to match my relatively bronzed skin which is why I picked this out of my stash. 

The packaging -as with all sleek products I find- is very convenient for keeping in your handbag for reapplying throughout the day. It has everything contained that you would need including a handy little brush (even though it isn't of the best quality) and a very useful mirror. Also as always these products are very affordable at just £6.49.

It contains 5 striped shades graduating from a light shimmering highlighter to a darker shimmering bronze shade. My skin tone for summer is a light/medium shade and this product is the perfect combination of shades for my skin. The highlighter shades are more yellow based which work much better for my warmer skin tone than a pink based shade such as the MUA highlighter. I use my real techniques contour brush to apply this product as I found the brush included to be flimsy and altogether a little bit useless if I'm honest. Using my contour brush allows me to select an individual stripe for contouring and highlighting. However sometimes I will use a blush brush to combine all the shades and apply as a wash of colour rather than on specific areas.

Apologies for the slightly grubby packaging!

This product is available in 3 different shades which are suitable for light, medium and darker skintones. 'Bronze baby' which is the shade I have is suited more to medium skin tones although I would say a lighter skin tone could get away with this if you use a contour brush to choose the colours individually. 

This product can be purchased directly from sleek HERE for just £6.49

Hope you enjoy.

    I hadn't noticed these in the shops, going to have a look for them next time. They look really nice and remind me of the Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks
