Clinique Make-up Review

Hello! I hope you’re all doing well. So as you all know I received some Make-up from Clinique and thought I would do a review on it so far. So let’s get started!

First off how great is this make-up bag! I’m always traveling back and forth from my boyfriends to my parents right now and this is just the perfect size to keep everything I need for a week!

This blusher is called “new clover”. I find it’s a great mat blush that compliments light skin tones.  It gives the perfect glow and a hint of colour. The downside is that if you have a darker skin tone I don’t think this colour will show up that great. Also if you’re one of those girls who love bright cheeks, this may not be for you because this is more of a light dusting of colour. 


Here is a colour surge eye shadow duo in “strawberry fudge”.  I have to say I love the packaging of this. Again because I travel a lot I can just pick this up and go, also I love how there is a huge mirror. The two eye colours are very pigmented with shimmery sparkles. I also love how you can wear either colour on its own or together for a night time look.  The blusher in this set is called “cupid”. Now this blusher also is pigmented but not as much as the eye shadows. Again this colour is great for lighter skin tones and even in the summer I would say this would look great with a tan. The downside is that I don’t think it would give the same effect on darker skin tones. You would pick of the pigments which would look pretty but of course every blusher looks different on everyone.




This is Clinique’s lash doubling mascara in the colour black. This mascara is great for defining each lash. I would say that it gives greater length than volume and it looks wonderful on the bottom lashes. For me personally I already have really long eye lashes and need more volume. So I would say this is great for day time mascara. If you need more length I would recommend giving this a try. 



I also received two lip products. The first one is a chubby stick moisturizing lip colour balm in 04 mega melon. I find this product very creamy and it just glides onto the lips. It’s also great for day or night time wear. It also has a great shine to it.

The second one is a lip stick called “A Different Grape”.  Now normally I wouldn’t buy anything near this colour for myself. I think it looks to dark but after trying it on, if it’s parted with the right make-up I could pull it off. Right now though, it being winter and my skin being super pale (as you can tell) it might take a little work in order to wear it without looking like a Goth or Vampire.  Don’t get me wrong the colour is beautiful and with darker skin tones I think you could wear this anytime of the day and it would be perfect, just maybe not right now for me.







Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?

Till next time,
