I’m pretty sure that we’ve discussed this before, but sometimes I’m extremely susceptible to very cute packaging. Damn you, you clever marketing people!

Clinique has a line of blushes that look like colorful little daisy’s and after much deliberation, I succumbed to the cuteness and purchased Heather Pop, a rosy mauve neutral (Clinique puts it in the “plums” shade range).

On me, this is an incredibly natural blush shade that blends well with the pre-existing ruddiness in my cheeks.

From the Clinique website:

Vibrant yet natural-looking cheek colour that looks virtually powderless. In a silky smooth, stay-true formula with shades for every skin tone. That just-pinched look, simply effortless.

I always like it when I company doesn’t make crazy claims about a product. I would say that this IS a natural looking blush that doesn’t look powdery in the least. It’s a very smooth formula and while it applies slightly sheer, it is easy to build up and blend out. In short, it’s really a quite nice product.

Pricing and availability:

This retails for $21.00 for .12oz/3.5g

I purchased mine at a Clinique counter but Clinique is available on their website and also on Sephora’s website.

Wear Time:

It’s difficult to say honestly. I didn’t notice that this faded badly or oxidized but I tend to wear fairly subtle blush and with a color that is this natural on me, I would be hard pressed to say for sure.

Have you tried any of the Cheek Pop blushes? Have you swatched them? I’m pretty impressed with this one but I don’t really feel the need to go out and buy them all (thank goodness).

• Ok so we have a banana spider living outside of our bathroom window. Her name is Agatha. Here she is about two weeks ago:  She’s almost twice that size now. I would have a better picture but I just chicken enough to not want to get to close.
