Make-Up Review | Clinique Blusher ’11 peony blend’

Hello, my lovelies! Today, I’m going to be doing a review on my favourite beauty product at the moment and what’s so good about it!

Now, this blog is not sponsored by beauty product manufacturers and neither is it written by a beauty product ‘expert’, if you will. This is just my opinions on different beauty products that I have been enjoying recently.

So, even before I started my blog, I had a favourite brand of make-up and that brand is called ‘Clinique’. I know you’re probably thinking “Woah, a bit pricey!” which is something that I highly agree with…however I do really think you get your money’s worth out of each of the Clinique products I have tried. I own a fair few Clinique products such as the ‘3-STEP SKIN CARE’ steps, their Foundation Brush, Foundation, Tinted Moisturizer, Blusher, and other lip and eye products. I will link Clinique’s website at the end of this blog so you can go check out all of these products for yourself.

Even though I have loved and got a lot of use out of all of the Clinique products above, I have had a favourite that I have worn with almost every make-up combination I have attempted since being given it. This product is my blusher which I was given as a Christmas present last Christmas (This shows just how long-lasting the product is!) The shade I got it in was ’11 peony blend’. The shade was recommended to me when I got a free skin test from a family friend who used to work at Clinique and so I put it on my Christmas list and have been addicted to it since.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a powder and comes in a flat plastic box with a mirror-like lid. When you open it up, there is a lot of the product inside and a small mirror on the back of the lid.

I can only describe the shade as a dark pink with a brownish tint to it. However, when you apply the blush to the cheeks, it naturally defines where your highlights are without you having to apply highlight yourself. This is because the product has a sheen effect to it. This makes applying make-up quicker and easier!

 Now, I have just found out that ‘peony blend’ is a limited edition offer but is still being sold so if you fancy treating yourself, I’ll have it linked underneath the blog for you to buy.

 However, if you do not want to spend £26 on blusher (or you just can’t get it on your wish list from your mum and dad), a close alternative that I found was No7 Natural Blush Cream in either the shade of ‘Maple Silk’ or ‘Pink Blush’ for £8 each. The link for these will also be at the end of this blog!

 I hope this blog was useful so please let me know on the ‘Comments’ page if it was or how I could improve.

I know I have uploaded pretty early on in the week, however I will still be uploading a Sunday blog giving a college and normal life update for you all. Now I’m off to get some tea so see you soon & I hope you’ve had a good Monday!
