The Spring 2009 collection from Clinique consists of very traditional spring shades and could pretty much be considered a dupe of First Blush from Laura Mercier. This collection is also called First Blush and we will be seeing which collection is the better of the two. Here is the description from Clinique, “There's no easier way to get the look than with Clinique's new and limited-edition makeup. Discover portable, all-in-one powder blush/brush, soft-shimmer eye shadows and flirty lashes NEW High Impact Curling Mascara. Pair it all with Clinique Happy In Bloom—back just in time to make your spring a little softer, sweeter.”

This collection is love it or leave as are most of the recent Clinique collections. They really tend to not come out with anything new or very exciting. I know that they have a formula for their collections and that they prefer traditional colors the they know will sell well for them but it is not time for them to start mixing it up. Anyone can find these shades in almost any collection and if they don’t start bring new colors out, then no one will buy anything at all from them. I would recommend going with the Laura Mercier collection if you really want these types of shades for spring.
