Although I haven’t been in school for a bit of time now, a hint of sadness always rolls over me once August hits. Instead of back to school, it’s back to actual work mode (hello #NYFW!) and goodbye summer (and Summer Fridays if you’re lucky).
When Clinique’s newest summer offering arrived at my doorstep, I was reminded that I have a solid 27 days left until Labor Day* and that I should live it up! (Makeup wise that is)
The Cheek Colour Balm is what interests me most as I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been having a makeup free summer due to the humidity. The Cheek Colour Balm is a sheer, creamy cheek color that imparts a rosy look on all skin tones. With four different shades you’re bound to find one that matches you and allows you to wear makeup without having to worry about whether or not it’s too hot to be wearing makeup. Per the brand they contain lecithin, squalane, phytosteryl isostearate (what??)**, and Vitamin E to help “enhance barrier repair and gives this formula it’s non-drying properties, while still being water, swear, and humidity-resistant.” Apply directly onto cheeks and blend with your fingers or a brush and boom! Done.
Both products are available this month at Clinique counters and Clinique.com
