Beauty: Summer makeup with Clinique

Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Matte Crimson* - £17.50, available here

Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Pop* - £16.50, available here

In the summer I like to switch up my makeup and wear brighter colours. I also like to wear makeup that's going to last throughout the day when it gets hot and sticky outside, so recently I've found myself wearing these two items from Clinique.

Long Last Lipsick in Matte Crimson

This lipstick does exactly as it says on the box - it's has a long lasting formula so it's sticks around for hours and hours. I find that I have to top it up after I've eaten but I expect that with any lipstick.  The formula is lovely and creamy, not like the usual matte lipsticks that you'd find from other brands, there's no problems with application and I don't even need to use a lip scrub beforehand. Matte Crimson is a creamy blue toned red and is perfect for this time of the year.

Cheek Pop in Berry Pop

Clinique has only recently bought out these blushers which are cutely named 'Cheek Pops'. I absolutely love the packaging of them, the flower sculpted into the product itself is so pretty and it's actually a mixture between cream and powder. There's none of that fall out that you get with powder and it blends seamlessly onto the cheeks. Berry Pop is a red toned pink and I've been wearing this constantly to give a natural flushed look. The great thing about these blushers is that you can easily build up the colour.
