Pop to Front of the Beauty Line

Posted by girlpaint | Filed under blush, face, perfect pores, wedding

Over the weekend, I popped open some new products and popped them onto my face and guess what? My face simply popped with healthy color!

Okay, enough with the popping, I know. So what did get?

Pop Beauty Cheeky in Sunset is a lovely, new ultra-micromilled cheek duo designed to give your cheeks a healthy pop (sorry, I just had to) of color. Sunset contains a peachy-pink color that rivals the great Francoise Nars ‘Orgasm’–now, it’s not exactly the same, mind you, but it sure is close. The other color is a true pink, again with a touch of golden shimmer, that gives you what I call “sweet cheeks,” which just means you look like your glowing…ahhhh, how sweet! Pop Beauty calls Sunset a combination of ‘powders’ and that these special powders contain hydrators to treat and condition the skin. Bonus! And hello, only $18? Extra bonus!

I also tried Pop Beauty’s new Pop-up Glow in Sunny, which is a sheer, shimmery yellow-gold. Pop-Up Glow has to be the most perfect highlighter I’ve tried yet (and believe you, me, I’ve tried many, many highlighters)–soft color and shimmer with a pore-minimizing formula that also reduces redness. The cream-to-powder formula is flexible, so you can rub the stick directly on your face and then blend with your fingertips for a stronger look, or you can rub the stick with your finger and then apply to your face–brow bones, high on the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, on the round of the chin and on the ‘bow’ of the upper lip–for a softer look. The texture and color of Sunny makes a really great eye shadow base, too. Oh, I almost forgot the scent…it smells just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher! YUMMMY…and only $19.
