Ohhh I do like this model image Clinique… it’s how my makeup would look everyday in a world unhindered by problematic issues such as not being able to find my pencil sharpener when I need it or not knowing exactly where I’m supposed to apply my damn blush.
Anyway, the Clinique Autumn 2010 collection consists of three brand new products and a bunch of what d’ya call ’em… existing stock that kinda gets pushed to the front of the counter in a “don’t forget about me, look how nice I am for Autumn” kinda way… um… repromotes?
Anyway, let’s take a look at what’s new:
NEW Limited Edition High Impact Mascara
RRP: £14.50 €19.00

I know it’s a teeny bit early to be talking about Autumn collections when I’ve barely seen anything Summer-y hit the counters yet… (hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!) – but I liked the natural but sultry promo image too much to care.
I wish there was a touch more to the release… some new eye colours would have been nice in a collection that purports to be all about the eyes. I’m definitely interested in the sound of some of those new eyeliners… extra dramatic smudgeability is nearly always a good thing in my book and an eye-brightening mascara? Woohoo! Are we guessing at some clever blue/black pigment in there somewhere ladies?
After this scorcher of a weekend, I bet some of you are nursing your sore bits and will happily indulge in a little bit of early Autumnal cosmetic goodness, just so long as we’re talking September and not November right? Brrrr.
Clinique Autumn 2010 – Bigger, Brighter Eyes in an Instant will be available on counters nationwide from 1st August.

Before I found my Stila Kajal pencil, I would have been buying everything from this range which said it made your eyes look bigger but now I’ve realised that the Stila pencil works brilliantly, I’m just hoping it never runs out. It’s done well so far for me though, I use it on the daily and haven’t sharpened it once!
Also for some reason, blue mascara makes me look really dopey in photographs..well, more dopey than usual..
I can’t even bring myself to think about Autumn yet, I haven’ty had time to enjoy summer!!
