For this Holiday season, Clinique has decided to focus only on shades of violets and plum for the newest collection. I can see this collection being either loved or hated. Fans of violet shades will want every piece of this collection while those who cannot get the shade to work at all for thme will walk away from the counter empty handed. But I am one of the people with a cool enough skintone to easily wear this shade, so I am jumping on the bandwagon of this collection. Here is what the Clinique website says about the collection in general, "Holiday glamour all wrapped up in softly shimmering shades of violet from plum to lilacs. Gorgeous effects for eyes, cheeks, lips beautifully illuminate every skin tone".Let's look at this collection of violet shades...

- Pomegranate - intense blue red with shimmer
I love the Colour Surge Eye Quad that is being offered with this collection, it is rare for me to love every single shade contained in a quad and actually count them all as shades that I would purchase if they were offered by themselves. With the exception of two of the shades of the Full Potential Lip (Bloomberry and Luscious Lilac), none of the lip products in this collecttion really do it, which is shame because I love most of Clinique's lip products. I wouldn't mind getting the Brush-On Cream Liner in the new purple shade but I don't really know how much use I would get out of it on a day to day basis. This collection works overall me since I have a cooler undertone in my skin but I don't really know how smart it was for Clinique to offer a line that is based so heavily on one shade (and one that is not the easiest to wear either).
