Clinique Holiday 2010 Collection - Strawberry Fudge

Clinique's Holiday 2010 collection presents a look that is very different from the typical holiday party makeup. Clinique based their newest collection, called Strawberry Fudge, off the glow that develops on your face after playing outside in the snow. This makeup collection is easy to wear and very universal. My personal opinion is that Clinique is often the company that is tops for making shades and products that can be worn by many skin tones and by people of varying ability in makeup application. Lately, I have found myself wearing a lot of my Clinique items on an almost everyday basis so I am very interested in this new collection.

Clinique states, "Irresistibly indulgent colour for eyes, cheeks, and lips. Discover the strawberry-dipped-in-chocolate shades of Clinique's Strawberry Fudge Holiday 2010 collection. The star of the look: our Limited Edition Holiday Compact. Sinfully rich eye shadows mingle with a sweetened rose blush. Long, flirty lashes and luscious lips are the perfect finishing touch".

Here are the new products...

I love this palette and I can really see it being a best seller. I feel like clinique designed these shades with any female in mind and wanted to a make the ultimate wear it with anything palette. My only concern is that some of the shades look to be a bit on the warmer side so I must carefully try all of them out before I buy the palette. Other than the palette, I am looking forward to the new shade of the Vitamin C Lip Smoothie, I really love it but I am betting that I own at least one other lip shade very similar to it. I am quite happy with this collection...
