New Purchases: Benefit They're Real and Sleek Blush by 3

Just a quick post about my new make-up purchases. I'm trying to refrain from buying any especially as I'm doing a swap with Andrea! But I just had to get these two products, they have been blogged about over and over again, I'm sure most of you have seen/heard of/have them.
I am super excited to finally have them myself.
I caved into getting Benefits They're real mascara as I just keep hearing positive things about it so I'm looking forward to trying it. I decided not to open it until I'm actually ready to use it.
I also got Sleek's Blush by 3 in 'Lace' I chose Lace as I was drawn in by the oranges and my blush collection at the moment is all pinks! This cost £9.99 from Superdrug. This is also my FIRST Sleek product!! Crazy I know.
I tend to feel *ugh* when taking pictures of make-up/swatches as it can be so hard (to me at least) to capture the true colours. But I tried my best! 
The two colours on the outside 'Crochet'- Orange and 'Chantilly'- Red toned Coral are matte whilst the middle 'Guipure' has shimmer but not in a bad way, trust me I normally stay away from shimmer/glitter make-up.
The middle colour also reminds me of Nars orgasm a little bit, I don't own it but from what I've seen online in person this sleek blush has the similar two tone peach-gold kinda colour to it, it's gorgeous! I also believe Sleek sell this blush on it's own under the name 'Rose Gold'. All three colours look incredibly pigmented and bright in the pan
 So far I am loving this trio and I will do a more in depth post about it soon! I am even tempted to buy the other trios whilst their still being sold..
What do you think? own any Sleek Blush by 3's?

    I've never tried Sleek's blushers, totally fel ashamed about it, haha! The orange tone totes reminds me of NARS Taj Mahal.

    I picked up Lace a few weeks back as well. The middle shade is definitely my favourite. :)

    I have seen that Sleek Blush by 3 everywhere lately and it has been tempting me! Too bad I live in the U.S. and can't get any Sleek products :(
