I know that I am ‘supposed’ to write about the sweet pastel shades as it is Spring…
But I just want to show you this set from Sleek which is still available (I’ve just checked) and which is their ‘Christmas collection’. I just had to get it as the colours are very beautiful!
This set is called the Berry collection, retails for £10/€12 and includes three berry products:
- Fenberry blush, crimson rose
- Kohl Pencil Mossberry, a deep burgundy
- True Colour lipstick in Cranberry, a matte mulled wine colour
Now I have pretty mixed feelings about this set. Although I LOVE it a lot, there are things that I don’t like that much.
Fenberry blush
This is my first blush from Sleek and I really like the quality: pigmentation, staying power and the shade are amazing. I am definitely getting more blushes from them in the future. Have you seen their amazing trio blushes?
Kohl Pencil Mossberry
This is actually a wearable shade although it may look scary to some people. This liner was the main reason why I wanted the set to badly. It is not the softest liner and it does not ‘glide on’ plus doesn’t have the most amazing staying power but I love it anyway. If you are afraid of the shade – try adding a thin black line on top and lots of mascara! It would look amazing on green eyes but I love it on my (brown) eyes, too.
True Colour lipstick in Cranberry
This is the lipstick that I was wearing for my Birthday which actually says a lot. I absolutely adore the colour, definitely one of my favourites. I actually like how Sleek describe this shade as a ‘deep matte mulled wine’ as I find it accurate. But… Your lips have to be in a perfect condition to wear it! It will show all the dry areas, even those you did not know about. I wish the texture was softer and creamier. But since I won’t wear it every day, I can handle that. Love the colour, not so much the quality.

As you can see, there are things that I like and don’t about this set but I really love it overall.
