I do like the shades in all four of the palettes and I find them all to be very wearable, regardless of how bright or dark they look in the pan. The pigmentation of these blushes vary shade to shade. Lace and Pink Sprint really pack a punch and you will have to use a very light hand during application.
Sugar is the most muted palettes in the bunch. It consists of a brick red (Turbinado), a shimmery rosy brown (Muscovado) and a light peach (Demerara). Both the brick red and the light peach are matte and very wearable. The shimmery rosy brown shade consists of very fine shimmer and can be used as a blush or a shimmer layer on top of a matte blush. This palette is probably the most versatile out of the four as it contains three entirely different colors which will go nicely with a variety of makeup looks.
Flame is my favorite palette out of the bunch, simply because the pigmentation is not over-the-top and the colors are all very easy to wear on a daily basis. This palette features a light dusty red (Molten), an orange-red (Bonfire) and a shimmery red (Furnace). I really adore all three of these shades, especially Furnace. I have never bought a red blush on its own before and this palette definitely opened the door to future red blushes purchases! Red blushes are actually extremely easy to wear and not scary at all. They may look very intense in the pan but they really translate nicely onto my skin.
Pink Sprint is a palette that centres about purples. It contains a dark plum (Pinktini), a florescent pink (Pink Ice) and a dark mauve shade has a strong plum undertone (Pink Parfait). Pink Parfait has just a tiny bit of shimmer running through it but it doesn't really show up on my skin. This palette is not as versatile as the rest. If you want to wear a deep plum or bright pink, you have to coordinate your eye and lip makeup.
Lace is probably the most popular palette out of all the Blush by 3 palettes that Sleek MakeUP makes. This palette has a dusty orange (Chantilly), a shimmery peachy coral (Guipure) and a coral (Crochet). The color combination is great, you get a good variety of wearable colors that can go with a lot of different looks. Guipure is a highly raved about blush that will tickle your fancy if you enjoy shimmery blushes.
Despite having great color payoff, most of the blushes in these palettes are not as easy to blend as I would like. You definitely need to use a very light hand when applying them and build the color up slowly as some of the shades, especially the matte ones, are incredibly hard to blend. If you are used to finely milled blushes that blend out easily, you'll find some of these blushes really hard to work with.
Overall, these blush palettes are a great way to try out different colors without busting the bank. However, I do not think that these palettes are a must to have because some of the colors can be really hard to blend. If you're a makeup addict who loves to try different colors of blushes, these can be a good way to expand your collection but do bear it mind that they will need some work to look good!
