No7 Pop & Glow Cream Blush Stick

Recently, No7 have been bringing out a plethora of great products and ideas, from their fantastic mascaras, to their innovative foundation shade match service, but there's one new release that got my heart pounding that little bit more than all the others.

 

 

The No7 Pop & Glow Cream Blushes (£9.95) are chubby sticks for cheeks, in a handy  wind-up tube. They come in 3 colours: Mango Sorbet - a peachy coral, Rose Blossom - a cool, bright pink, and Classic Rose - a deep pink shade. They don't exactly break the bank, at under £10 each, and with those No7 vouchers flying around, they come in at under £7 -  a bargain if you ask me. 

L-R: Classic Rose, Mango Sorbet

The first one I got was Classic Rose. Although it looks quite daunting in the tube, and admittedly at first swatch too, it blends down into a beautiful deep-rose flush, a perfect transition shade from winter to spring. It is very buildable, and blends like a dream (I use my fingers). The texture is very different to many other cream blushes I own - it applies as a cream, and dries as a powder. I know this isn't unusual (I'm looking at you Topshop Cream Blushes), but they have a lovely velvety feel, and don't look cakey or too powdery.

I also bought Mango Sorbet, as I thought that it would look amazing in the warmer months. As with the other one, it has a lovely velvety texture and is very buildable. It blends into a stunning peachy shade, which is particularly flattering on those with paler skin.

They are very long-lasting and easy to touch up on the go - they're the perfect cream blushes in my books.
