No. 7 Pop & Glow Cream Blush

No. 7 Pop and Glow Cream Blush

Although I mentioned these briefly in my beauty haul video, they’re so good that they deserve a whole post of their own.

I think these are brand new from No.7, but I could be wrong as everything looked new to me when I was back in Ireland! I impulsively bought them because a) I love anything that looks like a chubby stick b) They were 3 for 2 and c) I’m partial to a bit of cream blush every now and then.

Now, before we go any further I must stress that cream blush and I have struggled to get on over the years. I’ve realised (through much trial and error) that a silky, easy-to-blend and slow drying type formula is the only one that works for me and these beauties from No. 7 tick all those boxes. Hurrah!

No. 7 Pop & Glow Blush

Three shades came home with me; Rose Blossom, Mango Sorbet and Classic Rose. Here’s Classic Rose in (out of focus) action –

No. 7 Pop & Glow

Now, the details. The formula is very smooth with an almost powder finish. It’s seriously easy to use; you just swipe and blend away with your fingers. Two or three swipes (as per above) gives a nice flush but a few more swipes builds up nicely for a more striking look.

They last a reasonable amount of time, but we’re not talking an all day job here. I have been throwing classic rose in my handbag and touching up during the day as they’re so dinky. At just under 10 pounds each they’re pretty good value for money and I can’t see them running out any time soon.

Are you a fan of cream blush? To the comments! 🙂

I’m calling it now, this is the best makeup bag I’m calling it now, this is the best makeup bag ever 😆 

Fits loads of products, keeps them separated, super sturdy, wipes clean, and less than €16. I love it 👏🏻

A quick post to thank you all for the lovely messa A quick post to thank you all for the lovely messages, I’m still working my way through them (and some I’ll save forever) 🥰 

I’ve wanted to work in skin for the longest time, so finally being on the path to achieving that dream is surreal and incredibly exciting. 

I’ll share how things are going along the way, although I fear this may induce Leaving Cert type nightmares 😆 

Coming to a skin clinic near you in 2024 🤞

Alongside the iconic Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum, I’m using the new and improved Immortelle Divine Cream. 

A natural alternative to retinol, this beautiful moisturiser contains four different immortelle plant extracts that plump and hydrate the skin,  and help correct and prevent the signs of ageing. 

Last but not least, L’Occitane’s first ever targeted product for the neck: Immortelle Shea Neck Cream. Gentle and nourishing, this hydrates the delicate skin on the neck while helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. 

Spend €50 at ie.loccitane.com and use code SIMONE at checkout for a free Immortelle Clean Skin Trio with your order.

The only reason I’ve been able to grow it this long and keep it looking healthy is because of @katecrowley123 👑 

She made me get trims when I didn’t want to 😆 and introduced me to the power of @k18hair. 

I want to grow it another couple of inches, so the at-home routine is stepping up a notch from today 💪
