One last bronze related post from me until I call it a day and slip into my PJ's...easily my favourite time of the day and I have saved the best until last. Do you ever crave a blush that is bronze but slightly ruddy in tone so it gives the illusion of warm, freshly sun kissed skin? If so then your next port of call should be Clinique Fresh Blossom All Over Colour in Almond Blossom Blend.
In terms of packaging the Clinique Fresh Blossom All Over Colour compacts are fairly basic - a light weight plastic and chrome accented compact that is light in weight and small enough to be popped in a bag on a daily basis. Once open you may find it hard to refrain from gawping at the beautiful Clinique posy imprint featured on the powder accompanied with a decent sized high quality mirror. No complaints here.
At the moment there is three new shades of Clinique Fresh Blossom All Over Colour to pick and choose from or simply collect : Peony Blend - a dusky neutral pink, Plum Poppy - a red based plum and the shade I have Almond Blossom - a dusky neutral pink bronze. To elaborate a little further Almond Blossom is a strongly yellow tinged shade that teeters between pink and bronze. Clinique Almond Blossom Blend reminds me of a neutral toned version of Benefit Dallas and helps to give the skin an outdoors and slightly sun kissed effect. All three shades of the All Over Colour Blends have been formulated so you can use them on your eyes as well as the cheeks should you wish. I should also mention that all three shades within the Fresh Blossom range have would most would technically deem a shimmer finish but it is so subtle and you will not find chunky particles of glitter of shimmer for that matter - just a naturally radiant flush of colour.
As I have come to expect from Clinique blushes the All Over Colour formula is intensely pigmented, I kid you not when I say one swipe of the pan with a brush is more than enough to cover both cheeks. As this powder is finely milled it is buttery soft to the touch and an utter dream to blend into the skin and also to build up intensity in layers should you need to without turning ashen. On the skin this blush feels light, adds a natural glow without the need for shimmer particles and does not settle into enlarged pores nor does it highlight any flaws.The formula is oil free making it great for all skin types and also fragrance free all the while wearing on my oily skin close to 8 hours.
