You're probably wondering what this has to do with Clinique? But in April they launched their limited edition summer trend which contains a selection of holiday essentials in a cute vibrant bag. Inside the bag comes The Chubby Stick, Limited Edition Almost Bronzer SPF 15, Lash Power Mascara and SPF 35 Targeted Protection Stick.
The Limited Edition Bronzer SPF 15 comes with two separate bronzer shades, one lighter and one slightly darker for a slightly matte, sun-kissed glow. Some bronzers put me off slightly because they contain too much shimmer, which leaves you looking too sparkly in the sunshine. This one has a subtle shimmer in the darker shade, but this barely shows on your skin and gives a perfect matte finish.
For smudge, flake and smear-proof mascara, the Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula could be right up your street. According to Clinique it comes with a 24 hour water resistant formula and uses an advanced thermal technology to resist humidity. The lovely Camilla at Clinique also said that it's so hard-wearing, only warm water will remove it! I'm yet to try it on my own eyelashes, but I've always been impressed with Clinique mascara in the past that I'm sure this one won't disappoint.
Lastly is the SPF 35 Targeted Protection Stick - the perfect handbag staple for when you get caught short and need to protect your face from burning. Also it's small and safe enough to use on your lips, under your eyes and tops of the ears where we often miss. I absolutely love it and it's stayed in my handbag since.
What I love about Clinique is that SPF is key in a number of their products - apart from the Chubby Stick which would have finished off nicely had it contained an SPF too. It can be hard to come across a lip balm containing an SPF too, so it's a shame they didn't include one.
What do you guys think about new summer trend? Are there other trends you've been impressed with in the past?
I absolutely love the chubby sticks :) The other products seem lovely as well! xxx
