Clinique Strawberry Fudge Collection for Holiday 2010

Inspired by one of Clinique’s most popular Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duos, Clinique’s NEW Limited-Edition Strawberry Fudge Colour Collection is sure to top every holiday wish list. This decadent collection combines rich chocolate browns with luscious blushing pinks for a sweet festive look.

The shining star of the collection is the NEW Limited Edition Strawberry Fudge Holiday Compact- a treat for eyes and cheeks. Beneath the beautifully designed mirrored cover of this sleek silver compact lies a trio of eye shadows and a romantic soft pink blush. These perfectly matched shades light up the eyes, while a swipe of blush conjures the glow that follows a stolen kiss under the mistletoe. High Lengths Mascara creates long, pretty lashes to accentuate the shimmering eye shadow shades. And for the finishing touch – NEW Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour in Strawberry Bliss provides beautiful gloss and shine for a pretty pink pout.

I’m with you. Plus, a lot of their powder products look like they’d be chalky, and their packaging is almost medicinal in it’s boring-ness. Something about the looks of Clinique screams “Meh-quality stuff, medium quality price!”

KaylaK Avatar

Ugh, this is a bummer. I knew when I went to update and they mentioned this for holiday that it would yet again include permanent items with just a “twist”. I wish they would step it up some when it comes to color!

I like that lip smoothie. The other stuff seems sort of re-used colors (esp the eye colors) or similar colors can be found elsewhere in my collection.

The name leaves something to be desired. Strawberry Fudge collection?? What about something like Dipped Strawberries or something. Just a thought.

Seriously! Clinique makes some of the best products I have ever used in my life! They have been in my moms makeup case when I was young and played with her makeup and now they are in my makeup case.. I use their illuminating liquid, long last glosswear, blush, even self sun daily moisturizer… I find this brand SO underrated simply because they don’t come out with random cool collections! But, I find it great for bringing out natural beauty from within. Whenever I put on a Clinique lipgloss, it’s SO glassy yet still not completely opaque, which makes it wearable. If I have on a mask I don’t feel beautiful is what I’m trying to say and Clinique has helped me a lot. If other people disagree and find other brands good I say power to them! But, I anticipate Clinique posts and new things they come up with and it feels horrible that some can judge it so harshly simply because they didn’t have as much luck.. I came to these clinique comments out of excitement!:(

I am just usually bored by Clinique. I like some of their products, like City Block but the colour collections put me off. The promo images make me even less interested tbh.

Clinique, MAC, La Mer, Bobbi Brown and Estee Lauder are all owned by the Lauder company. The obvious differences are more marketing than quality, although each branch has their own niche and specialty items.

Strawberry Fudge is one of my favorite duos from Clinique! All the shades seem permanent so they don’t really grab me as “must haves” for my makeup collection though. Clinique’s makeup is great for an every day, easy makeup kinda girl. I’ve been using their skincare & makeup since I was 13 and the brand is really comfortable to me, if that makes sense. Nothing too outrageous, glittery, or overdone.

I actually like Clinique. It may seem “boring” to some. But I like that it looks “clean and fresh”. Not only that but most of their stuff are supposed to be better for your skin/eyes/lips whatever. I’m not a huge fan of their eyeshadows or anything, but I like some of their other products.

Carly Avatar

Hmm.. the eyeshadows are nice – not essential though. I have them from a gift with purchase, don’t use them too often… Interesting seeing everyone’s feedback though!

Marcela Avatar

I don’t think the girl in the promo is tanned, that seems to be her natural skin color…jeez people not everyone in this planet is paper white even on winter.

Keep in mind that because of their focus on allergy and fragrance free products, Clinique doesn’t use red dyes in their colour. You won’t see the kind of deep, saturated colour like MAC has, its all very muted. I used to work for Clinique and Strawberry Fudge really was a top selling eyeshadow duo:)

Jennifer Avatar

I meant to say they don’t use a lot of red dye. I’m sure they use some but its minimal b/c a number of people have allergies to it.

I absolutely love the strawberry fudge combination by Clinique. None of the photos does the pink color justice, it’s just the prettiest, most gorgeous golden pink. If I could compare it to another color, it would be Expensive Pink by MAC, but it’s not that similar, only the golden undertone of it, cause the Clinique one is way pinker… if that makes any sense…

stasha marie Avatar

oh wow, i clicked on this post just to see, since i’m usually not interested in clinique, but these are all my colors! thank so much, because i would have never know!!!! you made my makeup world just a little larger today , seriously thank u! <3

Seeing as I don’t own any of these colors, I would totally buy this palette. I love Clinique blushes, they are all so antural and flattering, and the eye trio actually looks like something I might wear!

KimK Avatar

Sigh… clinique… REALLY?! you just package up non LE items into new cases and shove it out the door as a holiday set? C’mon… have you no creativity any more? The last few years’ offerings have been less than stellar…. get a little inventive , or at least come out with colors that haven’t been around for 20 years.

Ashley Avatar

The promo leaves me yearning for more!! What a beautiful advertisement. The Strawberry Fudge is my favorite Clinique eyeshadow quad by far. I wish they had come out with a unique lip gloss/ lip stick with this collection. For example, when they did the LE Bamboo pink collection is was wildly successful. I’m tempted to buy this bc I am running low of my strawberry fudge ES but I do agree, its not presenting anything new.

Estee Lauder owns multiple brands including, Estee Lauder, MAC, Origins, Clinique. When you go to a department store about half of the beauty counters are owned by Estee Lauder. Each line targets a slightly different demographic. Clinique has always been a hypoallergenic, fragrance free, natural line. Their colors are meant to complement skin tones and not look artificial, but they are not as free of toxins as the Origins line. I know with Clinique, the colors will always blend and look classy. Where I find fault with Clinique is that they have not updated the brand to remove parabens and other chemicals and their skin care products are very drying due to a high alcohol content.
