Clinique Aglow Blushing Blush Powder Blush Review

In September of last year I went on holiday to New York, and while I was there, I took full advantage of their cheaper Clinique counters and purchased quite a lot of stuff. While I was there I had a bit of a 'make over' at the Clinique counter in Lord and Taylors. One of the products used on me was the Aglow Blusher.

Clinique Aglow Blushing Blush Powder Blush

It is a lovely peachy colour with gold undertones, although Clinique describe it as "a soft coppery nude with golden pearl" which I don't think I agree with very much. I especially don't agree with the swatch they have on their website. I have to be quite careful when applying as too much is just too shimmery which isn't a look I like to sport. This blusher looks like it has barely been touched, but I have worn it quite a bit, and it lasts quite well on the skin as well.

I haven't owned any NARS blushers but judging from the reviews I have read and photos I have seen, I'm going to go as far as likening it to their Orgasm Blush.

Sorry for the close up! 
I really like this colour, but my only criticism is to do with the packaging. It comes with a little brush which isn't something I've used (as you can see by the empty gap inside) but as the pan is quite narrow and deep, it's not that easy to get an even coverage on a regular blusher brush. It's not the end of the world, but it annoys me a little.

All in all I really like this blusher, and for the price it is lasting me very well. It is £21/6g.

  1. I haven't tryed blushes from Nars either but everyone seems to be talking about it, I've always been faithful to Mac but recently placed an order on Sephora so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Nice makeup by the way, it looks very natural and soft.

    1. Thank you :) I've not got any blushers from MAC aside from a bronzer that is a little too glittery for my liking!
