I've taken a bit of a blogger break but I have every intention to make a comeback. There's been some technical difficulties, personal life stuff and I've been spending a lot more time doing things other than planning out my beauty purchases and holing myself in my room taking photos of lipstick. Not that there's anything wrong with the last bit but I just needed to take a step back and pursue other interests. But, trust me, I miss blogging and hope to put my blogging cap back on in a few weeks.
I've been itching to write a post on my new-ish Clinique additions. Ever since I raved about their Lid Pop in Petal Pop last year, I've wanted to get some more shades. I'm a little late to the Cheek Pop bandwagon but no matter - these are beautiful! I ordered Nude Pop and Melon Pop as well as another eyeshadow in Cream Pop.
When I saw Nude Pop in the pan I was a little worried it might look too muddy or too light to even show up on my skin. But on the skin it's the loveliest, natural peach nude blush for fair skin tones. I love, love, loveeee it! It gives my cheeks color without looking obvious at all. These powders have that special texture so they feel quite hard to the touch. That means when you swirl your brush in the pan, you'll never end up with too much product. Honestly, I haven't worn Melon Pop on my cheeks yet but it's a very pretty bright coral that will be a nice flush for spring and summer.
Cream Pop was the only other eyeshadow in the range that interested me besides Petal Pop. Cream Pop is a lovely shimmery beige that is the perfect all over lid color. It's the kind of shade you don't have to think about that imparts a pretty sheen on your eyes. It's not a must have just because there are so many potential dupes for it but I really like applying the Lid Pops with my fingers for a quick look.
The Lid Pops are a nice-to-have if you are okay with a semi-sheer eyeshadow (which I love for everyday office looks) but the Cheek Pops are really something you should consider for your stash. There are so many shades to choose from so you're bound to find one that suits your fancy. I'd love to add some of the more daring shades like Cola Pop to my growing collection but for now I can't put Nude Pop down.
I think Clinique really hit it out of park with their various Pop products. From the blushes to the lipsticks, I've heard rave reviews nearly all around. Have you tried the Clinique Pop line? What are your favorite products from the collection?
