CLINIQUE CHEEK POPS

The Clinique Cheek Pops have probably grabbed my attention more than any other Spring beauty launch so far. They look incredibly visual with the detailed embossed flower print, vibrant colours and clean perspex packaging. 

My first impressions were that they must be cream blushers but when I went to swatch it with my finger the formula was hard and the flower pattern didn’t move around like I expected it to. After playing around I realised the best way to apply these blushers (that turned out to be powder) is with a brush, so I used my Real Techniques Multi Task Brush. 

I found the first layer to be quite sheer but as I layered it on the vibrant colour really showed and although it’s a powder, when it’s on the cheek it looks like a cream. There’s a subtle glow to it that looks really fresh and pretty. I also noticed that it lasted really well throughout the day, keeping it’s vibrant colour and glow. 

The new Cheek Pops come in four shades, Ginger Pop, Berry Pop, Peach Pop (worn above) and Berry Pop (shown above). They’re £16.50 and available online or at any Clinique counter. 

I already know these will be a Spring staple for me.
