NV Colour Cheeky Stick - Chilli Chops Swatches & Review

Provided for review

Hey lovelies,

The second last to item I have to show you from the NV Colour preview is my favourite of them all, the Cheeky Stick in the shade 'Chilli Chops'!

The cute and informative packaging theme continues with the box telling you all about the Cheeky Stick. It's a compact little thing, fitting easily in the palm of my hand and twists up smoothly. The cap clicks into place very securely, there's no danger that it'll come loose in a handbag or makeup bag.

Chilli Chops is a bright pink with a hint of coral. It has great colour pay off and the texture is soft, lightweight and ultra blendable with a luminous finish. I applied Chilli Chops straight from the tube and then used a stippling brush to blend it out but you can just as easily use your fingers; it responds well to blending either way. Wear time was a little shorter than I would have liked, lasting for six hours which is admittedly fairly average for me with a cream blush formula. Those with drier skin may find the lasting power to be better (I run normal to oily) and setting it with a translucent powder would also likely help. That being said, it is a handbag friendly size and is easy to touch up on the go without having to bring brushes out and about with you, so the wear time may not be a deal breaker for you.
