Clarins Blush Prodige - Illuminating Cheek Colour "Sunset Coral 04"

I was very much intrigued by Clarins new Summer 2012 collection.  The bronzers and blushes in particular really caught my eye.  

On a personal note, I don't know about you, but it seems that cosmetic companies are making the names of their products longer and longer.  Okay now, ready for this?  This is the Blush Prodige - Illuminating Cheek Colour in the shade "Sunset Coral 04".

From Clarins:  "Blush Prodige is a silky, lightweight powder blush containing the perfect combination of minerals and plant extracts.  Adds colour and luminosity to cheeks, for an instant healthy-looking glow."  I agree, Clarins :)

I am really glad that I purchased this blush; it is simply gorgeous!  I love everything about this product; from the packaging, the compact, the powder and the finish.  This blush has a nice subtle scent too.  I love the entire Clarins Prodige line!  They started with the Rouge Prodige and it has only gone "up-hill" from there!  

This blush is comprised of two coordinating shades that can each be used individually for contouring or highlighting, or used together for an illuminating glow.

I would also like to note that this blush is made in Italy, so you know it has to be good ;)

Whew!  Okay, now that we got past that long introduction, here is the product!

Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour "Sunset Coral 04"--The packaging is really beautiful.  This compact comes in a pretty red velvet pouch.  The compact itself is has a gorgeous high-shine gold finish, in keeping with the harmony of the "Prodige" collection :)
