review: clinique cheek pop.

{everything's coming up gerber daisies}

i feel about this blush like people who post that poem on facebook feel for their child - "i loved you before i even knew your existed...".  i adore a pop of color on cheeks, and makeup that looks like art or candy.  clinique cheek pop is both. 

after playing with it all last night after my package arrived yesterday, i was still unsure if it was a powder or a gel formula. it seemed like a powder, but less crumbly, and so dewy!  i went to the press release which informs me its "a completely new distinct powder feel that's luxuriously lightweight in texture and silky smooth to the touch."  that must be what i was experiencing!  a magic, new powder formula!  the release also says something about using a blush brush, but i've been applying with my fingers to create a small circular pop of color in the middle of my cheeks - and i'm very pleased with the results.

available in 4 shades - ginger pop, peach pop, berry pop, and plum pop.  expect to see peach and ginger on my cheeks all spring long.  available now on clinique.com.  SRP $21.
