Round-up: Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer Overview & Thoughts

Not surprised, I was surprised at the attention the color pop blushes got. I saw them once in person and could not find one color to suit me! What I love about Clinique is their consistency. Instead of following the trend of frequent seasonal launches of LE products, the products in their line that are staples for some of us, have been there for years of re-purchases. When I go thru any of my collections (lipsticks, blushes, etc.), the same colors seem to repeat themselves with minor differences, if at all. It seems like Clinique knows that, and is confident that we will be back to re-purchase our perennial favorites, especially during GWP events! I’d love to see some formula updates, but not at the expense of tried and true colors. That being said, they did recently discontinue their Comforting Cream Cleanser, which has earned me mounds of GWP’S!! When I got allergic to Cetaphil, and they reformulated their natural eye makeup remover cream to a version that burned my eyes, Comforting Cream Cleanser was there to tissue off even the most tenacious waterproof products; I stocked up ad much as I could from various websites, but a lifetime supply I probably don’t have. Here, they should have been sticking with an old favorite, rather than dabbling in new blush and lipstick formulas that are lackluster on formula and color! How they are owned by the same entity that brings new MAC lines every two weeks, and turned Bobbi Brown’s classic line into a flavor of the week line as well, I’ll never know. Just please, makeup companies, slow down. Bring us new products when they really have something new to offer us. In the meantime, they came to the forefront of the industry on the merits of their individuality, market that!!
