The packaging on the Lid Pop eyeshadows couldn't get any cuter. If the balms are as sheer as the name suggests, it seems like it won't make much difference which shade of Sweet Pot you choose. The color lineup looks so pretty.

So we won't get the Cheek Pop shade extension here in Germany (Melon, Nude, Cola etc).

I really wanted Melon so it's pretty frustrating, especially since Sephora US doesn't ship Clinique to Germany either. They want us to pay the hiked up prices here, I guess.

Meh. :( Disappointing. At some point I'll crack and get an account for stackry or shipito I guess!

Are the new ones available in other European countries or the UK, Naynadine? Do you know by any chance?

@Anneri I just noticed in the Lookfantastic newsletter that they carry Clinique as well. They have Melon and I was able to order it! They're cheaper there too, 23€ and you get another 15% of with code OCT15.

They also have the Waterproof High Impact Mascara in brown which I have been trying to get my hands on (and a 3-piece GWP set when you buy 2 or more products), I only got the blush for now though because I have too many mascaras at the moment.

nay how are you liking melon pop?

The pigmentation is not the best... I have only used it 1-2x because of that. You have to apply several layers. I love the shade and the finish is nice, less shimmery than Peach Pop. But yeah, less pigmented as well. I wouldn't buy it again.

Are you getting any of the e/s?

Nope i doubt. I am not really into singles. I haven't bought any clinique makeup probably in 5 years. I really want to try the blushes. Melon and Nude.

Maybe try Peach instead of Melon, the formula on that one is better. Nude looks good too, sadly we don't have that shade here.


Here are swatches of four of the e/s:

I think I'll get Vanilla, looks like nice subtle highlighting shade. The others look really pretty too.

I am the same shade and have the same problems and they seem to oxidize on me even darker.

^^^^^I got a sample of the Beyond Perfecting Foundation and immediately preferred it over the Lancome Teint Idole. However they color matched me to a more neutral shade versus my usual yellow undertone. I need to wear it for a full day to see how much it oxidizes & how much oil breaks thru. Even the Clinique mua confesses with her light skin tone the shades are too dark for her & it def oxidizes. I never realized how "orange" my SFF can get. Ooompa looompa orange.
:eek:

I got sample of another shade today will try to wear it tomorrow at least around the house.

I do like teint idole much more but they do not have shade that matches me. If they did I would buy it immediately.

Now tbh I did not hate the Teint Idole at all! The mua matched me to 330 Bisque N which to my eyes was too light & pinky.
:confused: It sheered out nicely and wore nicely into the day, but I had to blot more than usual. However I also have been testing a different primer (Benefit Porefessional). Ugh. I guess this is the joy of still searching for the HG foundation ;) I'll be wearing the Clinique today. I'll let you know how it goes.
