Clinique Cheek Pop New Shades! Pink Pop & Melon Pop

One of my favourite lauches last year were Clinque's ever-so-pretty Cheek Pops, flower shaped natural-finish blushers in subtle colours.  This year, Clinique have added a few more shades for summer - here are two of the new shades, Pink Pop and Melon Pop.

Pink Pop, Melon Pop

Boasting the same semi-translucent finish as the originals, Pink Pop is a cool toned pink, and Melon Pop is a peachy pink.  Both are matte but with a slightly glowy finish which doesn't come from any discernible shimmer.

Pink Pop

 On my pale, cool toned skin, Pink Pop gives a soft rosy look- I've applied it pretty lightly here, and the result is a very natural flush which goes well with my pink lipgloss.

Melon Pop

Melon Pop is a more neutral shade - I think my skin almost looks bare in this photo.  A light wash of Melon Pop gives a touch of peachy colour which is more about adding warmth and definition than any real contrast to the face.

At £16.50, Cheek Pops aren't cheap, but they are definitely worth the price - I've been using last year's Ginger Pop sample at least once a week for the past year and it's still going strong, although the flower imprint is long gone.  Find them now at the Clinique website.
