Holiday 2010: Clinique Strawberry Fudge Collection.

 Inspired by one of Clinique’s most popular Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duos, Clinique’s limited-edition Strawberry Fudge colour collection is sure to top every holiday wish list. This decadent collection combines rich chocolate browns with luscious blushing pinks for a sweet Holiday look.

The shining star of the collection is the new Strawberry Fudge Holiday Compact- a treat for eyes and cheeks.  The beautifully designed sleek silver compact with a patterned mirror holds a trio of eye shadows and a romantic soft pink blush. These perfectly matched shades light up the eyes, while a swipe of blush conjures the glow that follows a stolen kiss under the mistletoe.

High Lengths Mascara creates long, pretty lashes to accentuate the shimmering eye shadow shades.  And for the finishing touch -- new Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour in Strawberry Bliss provides beautiful gloss and shine for a pretty pink pout.

The collection rundown:

Strawberry Fudge Holiday Compact - $36.00

This limited edition compact features a Colour Surge Eye Shadow Trio of shimmering shades in soft pink, chocolate brown, and a darker brown-grey hue to dial up the drama by applying it as a liner or to add contour. Comfortable and lightweight, these eye shadow favourites deliver luxurious, intense long lasting colour. Cheeks get the perfect hint of pink from Soft Pressed Powder Blusher in New Clover.

Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour in Strawberry Bliss - $17.50

A new Clinique classic, this super-shiny, smoothing gloss infuses the lips with antioxidants like Vitamin C to improve their look and feel. Yummy ingredients like Pomegranate and Açai Berry protect against environmental damage and premature aging while delivering a healthy dose of luscious colour.  This new juicy shade is just right for the holidays.

Defining Liner for Lips in Plush Pink - $14.00

For beautifully defined lips that last all day, this modern precision pencil goes on smooth and extends lipstick wear, helping to prevent feathering outside of the lip line or into fine lines.  Plus, its built-in sharpener is ideal for women on-the-go.

High Lengths Mascara in Black
- $14.00

This mascara takes lashes to new lengths. The curved “willow” wand applicator follows the natural curvature of the eyes allowing the fine-toothed comb to grab each lash at its root.  Eyes look noticeably wider and fully energized. 

The entire Strawberry Fudge collection is available now at Clinique counters nationwide and online at Clinique.com. 

Gloss of the Day: Stila Long Wear Liquid Lip Color in Muse.

When Stila says that this is a long wearing product, take it to heart. This Liquid Lip Color lasts at least half the day, and even through a meal or two. Muse is pretty natural mauve color, like a more intense shade of your own lip color. It is a pretty matte shade as it wears down a bit, but a quick touch-up will have the lips glossy again.

Price: $22.00

Gloss of the Day: AVON PRO Color and Gloss Lip Duo in Passion Plum.

This is a pretty unique lipgloss, as it is centered in the middle of a lipstick. Great idea, Avon, and I am really enjoying how I get the staying power of a lipstick, with the high shine of a gloss, all in one easy application. You twist up the tube for the lipstick and squeeze the bottom to squirt the lipgloss on through - then onto the lips. The color I think that says fall is this one, Passion Plum. Passion Plum is a the perfect, pigmented plum shade seen on lips everywhere this fall season.
