Clinique Pop Liquid Matte Lip Colour + Primer Review (and Swatches)!

Hi lovelies!

I've got a short and sweet review post today on some pretty Clinique lippies to share! The Clinique Pop Liquid Matte Lip Colour + Primer is one of the newer releases in the Pop lipstick line, and is Clinique's response to the latest matte liquid lipstick trend. Like the others in the Pop line, this is meant to have a built-in primer to keep your pout looking freshly applied. You can read my post on the original Lip Colour + Primer here.

Clinique Pop Liquid Matte Lip Colour + Primer 

The spiel on the Clinique website states:

"Lightweight liquid lipstick covers lips with lush pigment and a modern matte finish. Wears all day. Moisturizing formula with built-in primer provides a smooth, even glide so lips feel as fresh as they look."

First up, let's talk packaging.

The lipstick is packaged in a square tube with a frosted base that lets you easily identify which shade you're picking up. The lid is the classic silver lid that is true to most of the Pop line, and screws on tightly to prevent accidental leakage. The applicator, a teardrop-shaped sponge as seen in the photo below, is great for spreading colour over your lips, but a little unwieldy as compared to the precise application that a doe-foot applicator affords.

Clinique Pop Lip Colour & Primer - Party Pop Review + Swatches!

Hi lovelies!

If, like me, you suffer from dry lips, you will absolutely love the lipsticks from the Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer range! The lipsticks are amazing, smooth, weightless and creamy, providing intense colour without stripping moisture. The range promises to keep lips comfortably moisturised for up to 8 hours, and that's something I can attest to, as it feels like you're only wearing a lip balm on your lips. You know that feeling when you can comfortably rub your lips together? That's definitely achievable while wearing these lipsticks.

My Euro Haul!

Hey lovelies,

Is everyone doing well today, the first day of autumn? Gosh, this year is speeding by, isn't it?

So a few weeks ago I had some cousins and an aunt who trotted off to Europe for a wee bit so I asked them to do a bit of duty free shopping for me, and wow, can I just say that the salespeople in Britain/duty free/Geneva are way more generous than their Australian counterparts seem to be?

I basically stocked up on my usual Holy Grail (HG) products, but I also picked up one or two extras. I had asked my aunt to ask the salespeople for samples but this surpassed even my expectations!

Here's what I got.

Shu Uemura: My cleansing oil in 'fresh' (I bought the last one in January and I'm already halfway through it) and the long lusted for lash curler! And I received a BUMPER 15 samples of cleansing oil, cream, serum and moisturiser.

Shu Uemura stash.

Clinique: Two chubby sticks in Fuller Fig and Mega Melon (I bought Fuller Fig in January as well and I finished it halfway through February)! I don't think I've finished a lipstick/gloss that quickly before. And I received a cute sample pack of the 3 step system, 2 samples of laser wear cream, and an eye cream sample.

Clinique stash.

Lancome: Oscillation powerbooster (lash primer, apparently they're phasing this out *sob*). And they gave me a sample of the new foundation, Tresor Midnight Rose (which I LOVE), and Vissionaire sample.

Lancome stash.

And some miscellaneous goodies:

MAC: Paint Pot in 'Painterly'. I've been dying to get my hands on this for ages! Can't wait to try putting some coloured shadow on tomorrow!

Australis Eyebrow Kit: I really wanted a little palette with a wax and I heard this was a really good one, so I searched EVERYWHERE for it and finally found it at BigW (it's a limited edition gift with purchase, and it was sold out everywhere else) only to find it wouldn't scan through! So they told me to come back the next day once they had a chance to discuss it with their manager. They rang me back the next day and agreed to sell it to me for $5! What a bargain, I snapped it up quick smart!

This is adorable, with two powders, brow wax,
a dual brush (which I won't use) and mini tweezers.

And last but not least, a geranium and rose shower gel which was a gift, together with some imported Kit Kat chocolates from the UK! All in all, I think it was a great haul and I'm so happy to get stuck into creating some new looks! :)

What did you think of my HG haul? I've been lusting after some of these products for so long, it's just so satisfying to get my hands on them at last! Have you used and do you like any of them? I'll be doing some reviews soon!

Much love,
MM.
