My Heart...and Complexion is Warmed with Clinique's Different Lipstick in Tender-Heart

On my quest for the perfect fall lip color, I came across this subtle hue of Clinique's Different Lipstick. Sheer yet buildable, Tender-Heart's perfect plum/brown shade warmed my heart as well as my complexion. Something about this lipstick morphed my pale face into a warm, glowing complexion. Sadly, the only nice quality of this lipstick is the shade. Tender-Heart lacks creaminess and long-lasting powder: two very important things when it comes to a great lipstick.

The Claim: Different because of its smooth, comfortable feel. Moderate coverage in a remarkable range of shades, from cream to pearl. Every one packed with rich emollients.

The Verdict: You could say it's comfortable, but NOT smooth. The colors are very sheer, but buildable. Rich emollients aren't detected at all. It just sits on your lips without moisturizing.

All swatches are Tender-Heart. See how buildable it is?

Strike that Lilac Rich with Limited Edition Colour Surge Eye Shadow Palette:

Confused? Read the first part of this series of posts here. 

    Instead of picking up Strawberry Fudge Shadow Duo (I'll get that later..:D), I opted for Clinique's Fall in Love With Colour. When opening, the first thing I dove for was the Limited Edition Colour Surge Eye Shadow Palette. It Contained 5 gorgeous shadows and a miniature Cream Shaper for Eyes in Chocolate Lustre (A chocolate brown with reddish copper shimmer). Together, I created a neutral eye and for later in the day, I simply just added the lavender shades to the look. Plus, the palette fits in my purse!
