Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick

Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend, and looking forward to yummy Easter treats tomorrow! I've had a long but fun day shopping with my mom and I bought two new cosmetic products (reviews on them in about a week).I also received a gift from Clinique, and my mom bought me an eyeshadow palette! So I have lots of new products to review. Since I bought a foundation from Clinique and received one of their free gifts I decided to review one of their products. Oh, and before I go on I just want to say that everyone who bought something for more than $26.50 from Clinique received a free gift, not just me.

Anyway, on to the review. I buy a lot from Clinique because they are just a really wonderful company, and a few months ago they were having one of their buy something get a free gift event. This blush was included in the gift and I was really excited to try it because I had never tried a cream blush before. I was sort of impressed with this product, but I wouldn't go out and purchase it. It's very hard to blend and it feels a little sticky when it goes on, however it does give a really nice natural glowy finish. The colour disappears after a few hours, so that was pretty disappointing. It was nice to try a product like this out just to see what it was like, but I'll just stick to powder blushes from now on because they always work for me!

The Balm Cosmetics

Today I was picking up a few makeup items at my local drugstore, and my mom and I found this adorable new makeup company! Actually I don't know if their new, but I've never seen them in my city before. The company is called "The Balm Cosmetics", and I've fallen in love with their products already. Well I shouldn't say I love their products, I haven't bought any yet (crazy expensive!) but the packaging is absolutely amazing. Everything has a cute or witty name, the packages are bright and very
1950's. Besides the packaging I also love how most of the products are paraben free, and cruelty free; I'll be saving up my money to buy some of the products in the near future. I almost bought the blush "Hot Mama" today, a beautiful pink with hints of gold that add a lovely glow to your cheeks; it also doubles as an eyeshadow which is great!

It's hard to explain just how awesome the packages are, so here's the link to the website https://www.thebalm.com/company.htm all the prices are in U.S. dollars, so here in Canada it costs a bit more. Today when I almost bought the blush I had to put it back cause it cost $25 which I thought was way too much to spend on one product, especially because I'm trying to save my money. I will be buying some of their products in the future and I hope there as good as the packages are! I found out that the eye shadow's are dupes for MAC eye shadows, but I think they are almost the same price so I'll probably just stick to MAC. Check out the website, you won't be disappointed!
