Every once in a while, typically when the seasons change, the Clinique counter at Macy's {and sometimes other retailers} offers a free gift with purchase. This event is probably what me and my mom look forward to most in the spring. This year, there were two choices of gifts: The pink set or the violets. Naturally, I went with the more natural, pink choices {shown below} and love how beautiful the shades of the palette and lipstick is! Although I haven't been able to use much of the set yet, I'm looking forward to giving everything a go!
This years "pink" set included: Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion, 7 Day Scrub cream, a blush and eyeshadow brush, Long Last Lipstick in the shade Bamboo Pink, High impact mascara, a makeup palette, and a small bag, all included in a larger makeup bag in the same, springy print.
The pink palette include: Soft-Pressed Powder blush in New Clover, a matte eyeshadow duo in Pink Slate duo {which includes a baby pink and deep brown,} and a Pressed Powder Bronzer in the shade Sunkissed.
This lipstick in Bamboo Pink isn't quite showing up true to color here but take my word when I say it is a beautiful color. It's like your lip shade.. but better!
Now obviously this gift wasn't just given to me for free. I had to buy a couple of products in order to receive it. Here's what I chose:
First I picked out the Chubby Stick for eyes in the color 06 Moss. My eyes are brown but in certain light and with certain colors can appear green! I'm hoping this shade, which I'll be using as liner, can help brighten my eyes. I also picked out the Chubby Stick for lips in the shade 04 Heftiest Hibiscus. I love, love, love bright lip colors.. espcially for the spring time! This orangey red will be so fun for the upcoming months.
