This Fall: Play in the Dark with Clinique!

I saw this on counter today, and let me say that I want to Play in the Dark with Clinique!

 

The shadows, designed to make the smoky eye easy, are gorgeous. Shadows come in a new Color Surge Eye Shadow Trio. The limited edition sets are Black Truffle, for the black/gray smoky eye; and Creme Brulee, for the brown smoky eye. Both are beautiful, and go beautifully with the limited edition cream eyeliners in Graphite and Egyptian. Follow up with their High Definition Mascara, and eyes are dark, hot, and right on trend for Fall.

Also in the collection are three new Almost Lipstick (widely known for Black Honey) shades : Black Raisin, Black Plum, and Black Raspberry.

See the collection and scoop them up before they sell out, or easily shop online, where they even walk you through some looks.
