High Impact Mascara (Black) ($14.00)

This mascara provides instant gratification by delivering intense, glamorous, dressed-up lashes in a flash! Women crave long, thick lashes and that’s exactly what Clinique’s multi-benefit mascara delivers – dramatic volume and length, fast! High Impact contains a built-in base of polymers that preps lashes automatically. The wide eyed, dramatic look is easily achieved without having to build layer after layer of mascara. This formula binds onto each and every lash, thickening on the spot and lengthening lashes by 36 percent.

This sophisticated lipstick delivers superior colour and moisturization benefits from the moment it’s applied. The multi-tasking formula is long wearing, feather-resistant and has stay-true colour all while helping to provide protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Packed with the amazing treatment benefits that we’re known for, this product provides intense levels of moisturization while helping to protect fragile lip skin from UVA and UVB rays. Dry lips are comforted and lip condition is improved immediately upon application.

Defining Liner for Lips ($14.00)

Available in: Cider, Pomegranate, Sugared Fig

This liner is a wood clenched lip liner pencil with a built-in sharpener. It offers a smooth creamy application due to high level of cushiony feeling oils. The long-wearing formula (up to 8 hours) extends lipstick wear, helping to prevent feathering outside of the lip line or into fine lines. The precision sharpenable point can deliver a thick or more defined line depending on preferred use for customized application. The built-in sharpener provides ease and convenience for on-the-go touch ups and application; no need to tote another piece in your makeup bag!

Designed for women of all ages and skin types who desire longer-wearing cheek colour that’s a cinch to apply.

I really like the promo image, except for the fact that her lips look off. I know they’re supposed to be matte, but they almost look chalky.. like she needs a richer colour?

I think the next time I’m at the department store, I’ll check out their counter and see. I’ve never used Clinique before.

I don’t like the High Impact Mascara , I’ve got it in black and it’s just … too much. But I’ve got pretty long lashes so maybe it’s nice for other girsl , I don’t know. But I wouldn’t advice it to anybody.
I <3 the eyeshadows , though. Absolutely lovely , and I could use some more colours … ^^;;

I think “plum nude” sounds like a wonderful color! Looking forwards to seeing it in person, even though I’m not yet sold on the matte lips…

Oooh! Those lipsticks look delicious! Especially the red one posing with the shoe! I just hope it’s actually opaque, because last time they ran an ad with a hot tube of red lipstick like that, I ran down to the Clinique counter and it turned out to be more of a weak glaze than a fabulous lipstick.

I’m also totally interested in the lipstick 4 in from the right in the group pic! And the one 4 in from the left!

I loved Clinique, it was my first make up purchase, but their eyeshadows aren’t that good (anymore). Even the last time I tried them over UDPP, they didn’t show up that well and definitely didn’t last. I can’t give up on them yet, though, I’m sentimentally attached to Clinique =)
