Pop Beauty Eye Palettes

Pop Beauty Eye Palettes

We’re currently loving these ingenious eye palettes by Pop Beauty made specially for brown, blue and green eyes.

At $32 each, they take the guesswork out of selecting eyeshadows—which, in our case, is half the battle—and keeps all 12 complementary shadows together in one pretty palette.

Could they make it any easier for us?

CLINIQUE: Play in the Darks. Fall 2007

Clinique Play in the Darks Fall 2007

Rich, luxurious hues mark CLINIQUE’s modern fall collection: Play in the Darks.

Finding inspiration on the runways, this collection is all about elegance and sophistication with intense color that ranges from soft and sultry to bold and dramatic.

Clinique Play in the Darks Fall 2007

Play in the Darks. Fall 2007 has some wonderful treats in store for us– including new shades of the fabulous Brush-On Cream Liner and joining Black Honey (the Almost Lipstick that we all bow down before) are three new limited edition shades of the best-selling formula. Can you believe?!

Here’s the scoop:

Brush-On Cream Liner

  • Black Honey
  • Deep Brown
  • Graphite (limited edition)
  • Egyptian (limited edition)

Application Tip: Lightly dip the eye liner brush into the cream liner pot. For the most precise application, dab off any excess product on the back of your hand, using it as a palette. If you don’t have a steady hand, draw three dashes along your lash line—outer corner, middle, and inner corner. Then, go back and connect the dashes.
