The Illuminating Cheek Colour in Soft Peach is my first blusher from Clarins, but I am already planning to treat myself to another shade :) I am pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation of this product. Most peachy blushers are not pigmented enough, but this one is totally different. One sweep is enough to add a hint of colour to my cheeks and after blending it looks very natural and flattering.

You can see in one of the swatches below that the blusher contains a little bit of shimmer, but don't worry, it has a semi-matte finish and it won't make you look glittery.
It gives a gorgeous illuminating effect and it reflects light beautifully, creating a healthy glow. 
Soft peach is a pale, peachy pink and would complement most skin tones.

The texture is silky and there is no product fallout, which makes the blusher very luxurious.
In terms of wear- it starts fading (slightly) after 8 hours, so you don't need to reapply it during the day, unless you are going out after work and you want to look 100% perfect :)

It comes in signature Clarins packaging - a beautiful gold case with a mirror and a little brush inside.
I normally use a Real Techniques blusher brush to apply cheek colour, but this little baby is perfect for contouring!
I have been using it to accentuate my cheekbones and it creates a perfect, soft line.

Overall, the quality of the blusher is amazing. It is very pigmented and the texture is really lovely.
It is also very lightweight and I love the way it looks on my skin.

Another extremely gorgeous products to add to your Christmas wishlist :)

You can buy it online from www.clarins.co.uk , www.feelunique.com and from Clarins counters in department stores.
