Clinique Blushwear Cream Sticks

In July Clinique will release new Blushwear Cream Sticks. I was able to get an advance preview of these. I have had ups and downs with cream sticks, but friends and the mom love them, so I needed to test run these.

The sticks go on really nice, smooth and creamy but not too much so. They are also easy to blend and have good pigment, not too much, but not barely there either.

In this warmer weather these are great for quick makeup and on the go touch ups. The 4 colors are light to medium shades that will work on most skin tones. Another plus is that these last longer than many creams. They have special ingredients to help them hold on longer, and are water resistant. I also loved the silver cases topped with an enamel like button of color. Very elegant.( the mom gives them a big thumbs up too, and took off with both my samples)

The 4 shades are :

Nude: Glow Blush
Tawny: Peachy Blush-shown first image
Pink: Rosy Blush
Violet: Shy Blush -shown second image
