Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Pop

 Hey everyone!
Today I'll be reviewing the Clinique Cheek Pop in the shade Berry Pop (as you can tell from the title!).
 I didn't buy the hype when these cheek pops first came out because it was all about the cute packaging and not the product itself. I swatched the blushes in store a few times and finally decided to bite the bullet and pick one up. I decided to get Berry Pop! 

The design features a cute flower which I think is one of the biggest reasons people pick this up but the real winner is the product itself.


Here it is swatched on my hand and it is a beautiful berry colour. I find myself reaching for this quite a lot since I picked it up. Not only is the colour beautiful and applies well but the colour lasts me all day. I apply it at about 9am and when I'm leaving work at 6pm this blush is still poppin! It lasts and lasts and lasts! 

Clinique describes these as follows "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." 
That is spot on.
As I previously said these do not look powdery at all and look as natural as any blush can look. They are true to what you see in the pan, vibrant as described but not over the top.

All and all it is actually a fab blusher an I'll definitely be picking up more of these and would definitely recommend them to everyone!

Definitely a must have!

-Love & luck!

MAC Pedro Lourenco Lipstick Swatches

Hey everyone!
Tomorrow MAC stores will see the release of the Pedro Lourenco Collection so here are some swatches of two of the four available lipsticks True Red (top right) and Roxo (bottom right). Both of these lipsticks are in the Amplified formula which means they are comfortable and nondrying.


True Red is an orangey red that is said to be the Amplified version of MACs Lady Danger. 
Roxo is a much deeper red said to be the Amplified version of Diva.
If you love the look of Lady Danger or Diva but DONT love that drying matte finish definitely check these guys out.
There's also 2 other lipsticks available (which I didn't purchase) and these retail for $21 CAD.

Let me know if you pick up any thing for the PL collection and what you think in the comments below!
