Pretty Fall Colours from Clinique



Clinique isn't a brand I always gravitate to but these two items from my collection are current favorites.
First is the Tuxedo Plums Shimmering Stripes blush. It is similar to the BB shimmer bricks. It is a gorgeous palette of cool pinks and purples. Swirled together you get a lovely glow. You can also just swipe the colours individually. They apply smoothly and are very pigmented. I'm very impressed.

Next up is my one and only Clinique lipstick called a Different Grape. Very very pretty and creamy. Love it. It's a perfect colour for fall and I always feel more polished when I wear it.

Here are some swatches below. What do you guys think of Clinique?

Wow, Tuxedo Plums looks really pretty! And the lipstick, too... I've started to like plum lipsticks more and more, soon I'll probably have to buy one though I'm not even sure if it'd suit me. Sigh.

Gorgeous colours, I quite like clinique but it always semmed little out of rach growing up. Now I have a few staple items i reach for. The blush looks right up my street.

It's gorgeous! It may be to 'intense' for me but i could see this on you and you pulling it off swell.

Gorgeous casings though :D*

Very pretty! I loved Karen's (MBB) swatches too but I haven't had a chance to go check these out in store yet. I actually don't have any Clinique anything... I think because the eyeshadows give me styes... I've heard really good things about the lipsticks though and that blush is just so pretty!

I've never tried Clinique that I can recall, but I do like Silk Natural's vegan version of Black Honey, which is called Nectar.

The blush and lipstick are lovely! The only Clinique make up I have is the Supermoisture foundation and a couple of lipsticks. I really love them though.

I hate Clinique's skincare range but the make up is great! :) x

Oh, gorgeous! Those plum shades are so up my alley. Do show us one day the swirled blush colour on your cheeks.

They look great, I love the stripey blush - it's a bit different for Clinique!
