Clinique has a new collection in the stores. Brandied Bronze for Summer 2010 has a few must-have items, including the Colour Surge Eye Shadow Palette Limited Edition ($25). I felt kind of guilty (well not that guilty!) as I purchased the last one they had at Nordstrom Tysons last weekend. Any makeup that wasn't nailed down was selling after the Beauty Trends Show.The shadow palette is summer-perfect with six "smouldering" shades to mix and match for naturally pretty or more dramatic looks. This palette is a great value at $25.
Another purchase? I couldn't leave without Fireberry Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 lip gloss ($14). Long Last Glosswear is available in 18 glistening shades from sheer to full intensity. Fireberry appears to be "dark" and its description is "rich blue-red with soft gold shimmer." Add sheer to that description, and you've got Fireberry. Love it! The collection features three other shades. There's one that will work for you.
My third purchase from the collection was the new Different Lipstick ($14) in Bronze Leaf. Described as a frosted brownish-copper with a soft shine, this is a beautiful, wearable brown shade. Add brown to pink or rose lips, and you have a great shade. I really like brown-toned lipsticks and glosses. Many work for me, even though I don't appear to be the natural candidate for brown. Bronze Leaf is gorgeous. I would recommend it to everyone. I'm also a big fan of the Different Lipsticks. Love their look and feel!
Add to these, a True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer ($24) in the pink-bronze Sunkissed and a few "staples," and you've got a nice collection.
