Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in "Plum Pop" & Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color in "Plushest Punch": Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.
Happy Friday everyone! Today I have another spring & lip post featuring two more lovely products from Clinique, the Cheek Pop Blush in "Plum Pop" ($24 CAD) and the Chubby Stick Intense in "Plushest Punch" ($19 CAD). To read more, click......

Cheek Pop Blush in "Plum Pop" ($24 CAD):
What it is:
-Silky, effortless, and natural powdered blush
-Long lasting stay-put formulation 

Packaging:
The blush is packaged in a clear acrylic case and it has a daisy design imprinted on the surface. Isn't it so pretty? I shed a tiny tear on the inside the first time I swept my blush brush across that perfect design.
Pigmentation & Formulation:
The color "Plum Pop" is a sheer cool tone pink with a subtle shimmer. When worn on the cheeks the shimmer becomes almost invisible. The blush has a baked texture so the pigmentation is slightly sheer. When you sweep across it with a brush, not a lot of powder gets kicked up. The color is very buildable so you can either go for a very natural glow or a more intense flush.
Longevity:
The blush lasted all day; the wear is very impressive!

Pros:
-Beautiful packaging design
-Buildable color allows a lot of versatility
-Long wearing

Cons:
-Slightly harder texture due to the unique baking process used during production

What it is:
-A moisturizing tinted color balm with intense pigmentation
-Formulated with mango and shea butter to keep the lips feeling smooth and soft

Packaging:
The Chubby Stick comes in a twist up crayon form. The design is very convenient and cute.

Pigmentation & Formulation:
The color "Plushest Punch" is a very pigmented deep pink. The color really packed a punch and the formulation is incredibly moisturizing! I also love how the formulation of this shade really helps smooth over any dryness and wrinkles on the lips, making the lips look plumper and healthier.

Longevity:
The wear or this one is slightly shorter compared to "Heftiest Hibiscus" because it has a glossier finish so it transferred more easily.

Pros:
-Rich pigmentation
-Convenient twist up packaging
-Moisturizing and cushioning formulation

Cons:
-Not transfer proof so it has a shorter wear time (three to four hours)

Here are both products worn on the face:
Overall:
There we have it, two more hits from Clinique! If you are a fan of pink lips and cheeks then look no further than Plum Pop and Plushest Punch!

Availability:
Both products are available at Sephora online and in stores, Clinique online, and other department stores where Clinique products are sold.
