Sleek Blush | Rose Gold

I seem to be creating a blog dedicated to blusher lately but it's all down to the fact that I've been using MAC Fleur Power for about 3 years and never using anything else I thought it's time for change.
I've always wanted to try the oh so popular Nars Orgasm (£21.50) so in true form I found a dupe. ( I also seem to be running a dupe's blog!) After lusting at the Nars counter I had a reasonable idea of what it looked like then I searched online for a dupe and the Sleek Rose Gold blush was massively mentioned but I also noticed that it's a dupe for MAC Style blush (£18) too!

Sleek Blush // Rose Gold // £4.49

As soon as I saw this I was like a magpie, it's so shiny and pretty I didn't even swatch it I just chucked it in my basket and climbed my way to the queue in Brighton's Superdrug. (Shopping on a Saturday in Brighton, what a fool I am!)
Firstly the packaging is very clean and upmarket looking, it also feels sturdy. I don't feel like it's going to flip open and smash in my bag as many a time I've thrown my bag down only to discover I've smashed something inside, usually a pressed powder or blush.
 Inside is a mirror big enough to actually do your makeup in, I've had some compacts before that have mirrors made for borrowers inside...So I'm a big fan of the packaging!

This blush is very pretty but I found it comes out more gold than I'd thought after blending, having red hair I can't always wear brighter colours as I look like a flustered clown so it's actually beneficial for me for it not to be too pink so I suppose it's not a problem.
I think on my fingertips it's incredibly pigmented but as soon as I start to blend on my cheeks it loses a lot of colour, I also do have to reapply during the day if I want to keep the pink in my cheeks.
The blush is very soft to touch and as yet I haven't had that weird chunky feeling that some blushes get.
I just apply softly with a duo fiber brush or my Real Technique Contour brush for either a lighter or stronger effect. I think my Real Techniques brush picks more of the pink up if that's possible?

(Excuse my weird dead looking hand and the white specks, I've been decorating all day!)

As a Nars and Mac dupe I can't 100% comment It looks to me more like they'd be sisters and not a total replica but by what I've read it seems a really great contender for both and at a massively cut price.
You also get 8g of product with Sleek where as with Nars it's 4.8g and Mac 6g so it's nearly double the amount of product for a tiny £4.49 price tag.

 I think this blush either way is worth the money as I save time with a highlighting my cheeks when using it, I find it gives me a sun kissed shimmery glow without being overpowering on my pale complexion.
I wouldn't advise this for those who want a matte finish for obvious reasons!

Have you tried this blush? What did you think?
