Clinique Makeup Haul
November 04, 2013
A couple of weeks ago I happened to stumble upon a Clinique counter, once again. Oopsy.
Well, I was in the market for a new mascara since I wasn't really happy with my current Maybelline The Rocket mascara which I was just finishing up. I once had tried out the Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara and really liked it so I wanted to pick up a new one.
And what'd-ya know, the mascara came in a cute little gift set, equipped with a cute sample of the Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips and a (full-size?) Cream Shaper For Eyes in the shade Black Diamond, which is a matte black pencil with some subtle silver shimmer/sparkle in it. All of this for the price of the mascara alone! (By the way, here in Switzerland the cost of the mascara is quite a bit more than $19.50 like in the USA...ugh!)
I've tried out all 3 products and quite like them all! I've liked the mascara since I tried it the first time since it has quite a large and firm wand. I can easily add some volume and length with this mascara, it holds a curl well, doesn't fall all over my face throughout the day and I use at least 2-3 coats (since my lashes are practically non-existant...).
Since I had been eyeing the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tints For Eyes for a while, I decided to finally purchase two of them: 04 Ample Amber and 03 Fuller Fudge.
I really wanted to swatch the shade 02 Lots o' Latte but the Swiss Clinique counters don't seem to stock that shade, boo :( But these two shades are very beautiful, long-lasting and don't crease much. I still need some more practice with these to find the best way to wear them (with a colored base, no base, straight from the stick, applied with finger, etc.).
And lastly, because of my purchase of the mascara and two chubby sticks, I received a FREE sample of the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in the shade 07 Broadest Berry.
What a beautiful shade! I really love it. AND it's quite a large sample if you ask me. Personally, even if I really like this shade, there'll be no need for me to go out and purchase the full-size since it'll take me a long time to use this sample. I really like the fact that you can lightly apply this to your lips for a touch of berry or you can apply it full-on and have a darker, sultry berry lip.
I really recommend the Chubby Sticks For Lips from Clinique, I'm a big fan of the originals and of the intense colour balms.
Here's a swatch of all four products (top to bottom):
Cream Shaper For Eyes in Black Diamond
Chubby Stick For Eyes in 04 Ample Amber
Chubby Stick For Eyes in 03 Fuller Fudge
Chubby Stick Intense For Lips in 04 Broadest Berry

I have a chubby lipstick that is my favorite ever. Nars New Lover. I want to try a chubby eyeliner. What is your favorite color?

Just googled that shade, looks really gorgeous! We don't have NARS here in Switzerland :( I have a NARS blush and highlighter which I ordered through a friend from the US but I'll have to get my hands on that lipstick, I'd love to try NARS lip products.
DeleteI have to say I really love the chubby stick for eyes in Fuller Fudge - really gorgeous. It's hard to get the Ample Amber shade to show up well on my light skin. I'll have to work on that :)
