This cream blusher from a celebrity-owned beauty brand is a real hit with every member of our beauty team, and it’s now available in a new suits-all shade that’s perfect for summer
With different skin types and tones and different personal styles, it’s rare that a beauty product really impresses every member of The Mirror’s beauty team, but that’s exactly the case with this gorgeous cream blush stick – and it’s now got even better.
We – along with loads of other beauty editors – absolutely love Pocket Blush by Hailey Bieber’s skincare and make-up brand Rhode; this super-creamy stick is so easy to apply, blends brilliantly, and the shades are perfection. I love the baby pink shade Piggy, or the sun-kissed colour Toasted Teddy in the summer, while Freckle is another popular choice – until now, that is, when a new favourite has just dropped.

Rhode initially dropped Pocket Blush, £24, in the shade Sprinkle – a warm pearly pink, and the only slightly shimmery one in the line-up – as a limited-edition launch, but it proved so popular with fans that the brand has now brought it back for good.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and, after trying it, I know I’ll be reaching for it all this summer. Neither too warm nor too cool, this shade instantly makes me look more awake and fresher-faced (this is also helped by the very very subtle shimmer in the formula, which reflects the light more). I think it would suit all skin tones, too.
And don’t just take our word for it – Pocket Blush has been a huge hit with customers since it launched too. Writing specifically about the new shade Sprinkle, one shopper wrote: “I love this blush, it is so beautiful and it is so easy to use.”
Another review titled ‘My new favourite colour’ reads: “Sprinkle is just the right amount of pink for me! You can be subtle or build up colour.”
“This absolutely melts beautiful with all the other products and gives me such a beautiful ‘I’ve just been in the sun’ glow!” a third review of Sprinkle reads. “The perfect soft glam colour as well!”
One point that a few customers make, however, is that it doesn’t last particularly long on the skin, as is the case with more cream blushes. “I love the consistency, colour and packaging [but] it has very little staying power,” one person mentioned. If you need your blusher to last a long time, you might be better off using a powder formula (try Kylie Cosmetics Pressed Powder Blush, £21) or a cheek tint, such as the now-viral Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint, £22.
