Budget brand Seventeen (Boots cheaper version of No7) has been coming out with some really good products lately. One of my favourite lip products last year was the Mirror Shine lipstick in Belle (review HERE) and being a blush addict I had to try out their new Cheek Stamp blushes, especially as I was taking advantage of the recent 3 for 2 offer in Boots. The idea with this is that it's similar to an actual ink stamp (stationery fanatics will be delighted) in its design and because of that is ideal for throwing in your bag on the go or on travels.
They had four available shades in my local store and although I was immediately drawn to the brightest shade (as is my way), I changed my mind when I spotted the palest pink, "Blushin'" as I had nothing like it already.
It feels like a powder-cream consistency to me and it has no scent, which is always pleasant. You use the sponge stamp applicator to pick up colour in the lid, then pat it on to your cheeks. The colour can come out pretty full on but it's not in any way staining so it's pretty easy to simply blend it out with your fingers. It's really handy not needing a brush for applying blush and it actually is really quick and easy. I love the colour itself- it's very flattering on my pale skin and perfect for wearing with a smokey eye and pink lip. I don't think it's the most long wearing of the blushes that I own but it probably is the most natural and pretty shade in my constantly growing collection.
These little beauties come in six shades and are €6.29 for 3.2g. I still really want the brightest pink shade "Made You Look". Check them out HERE. Have you tried the Seventeen Cheek Stamp blush? Thoughts?!
