Summer Holidays and Clinique Cheek Pop

Summer holidays are finally here and over too quickly. I took 2 weeks off work which I have't done since 2009 and I think I will make this a habit.

 I finally feel relaxed, but back to work on Tuesday, of course. For those of you nurses that work 11.63 hour shifts, I am envious of your time off. I work 7.75 m-f days and although it has it perks, time off is definitely not one of them. On my holidays, I shopped, I played, I ate, I saw...all in my home province of Manitoba. All the while trying out some great blushes by Clinique.

Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Left and Heather Right

Clinique Cheek pop blushes have been around for a while. I purchased my first Berry Pop in early 2014 and picked up this new 2015 release Heather Pop from Sephora.com. These blushes are well priced at $24.00 CDN for .12 oz. The blush packaging is a clean plastic clear compact with no mirror. It is embossed with a lovely little flower that stay intact through much of the product. They have no smell and are slightly iridescent in quality leaving a beautiful glow/sheen on the cheeks. The formula is not powdery, kinda similar texture to the MUFE bronze fusion consistency.

They are quite pigmented on finger swiping but I do not find them that way on the cheeks, sheer buildable colour unfortunately not very long lasting. I applied the heather pop twice in one evening between 4pm and 10pm while on holidays. These blushes travel well and I think are great to have in my collection. I can't say these are my favorites but I do reach for them every now and again.

What blushes are you loving this summer?
