Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint For Eyes Event

A few weeks ago I was invited by Beauty Bulletin (view their website here) to the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes event at the V&A Waterfront. I immediately RSVP'd and attended the event last week Friday.

The event showcased the 9 shades Clinique had launched. They are the same shape as the Chubby Sticks for lips but they contain a cream eyeshadow that you can easily blend on your eyelid. Clinique will be sending me one to review soon so while I wait for that, I thought I would show you some pictures of the event.

 Swatches of the different shades available

We were also shown how to apply the shadow stick and given a chart to take home so that we could recreate the look.

They also showed us their new CC cream, which I had been wanting to try for a while now
Besides the sample of the CC cream and concealer (which they showed after I told them about my concealer addiction), I also received a sample of the moisture surge hydrator and a full sized eyeshadow in the shade Strawberry Fudge.

Visit Cliniques website (here) to have a look at their different products. You can now also order online from them!

Topshop Lipstick- All About Me review

In my last blogpost (here) I mentioned that I picked up some items from Topshop. I had been on the lookout for a bright pink matte lipstick that suits my skin tone for a while now and I have finally found it.

I did mention before that I absolutely Topshop's packaging. It is cute and practical at the same time. I am a bit worried that it could get dirty easily as the packaging is white. 

Unlike most matte lipsticks, this lipstick is incredibly moisturizing. Most matte lipsticks that I have used are very dry to achieve the matte look. This lipstick goes on easily and still looks matte. It doesn't stay on your lips all the time. If you were to take a sip of something, the lipstick would transfer on to the glass. 

I wore this lipstick on a night out and it lasted about 3-4 hours before I had to reapply. I absolutely love this lipstick and I will definitely buy more in the future.
