It's Modern Matte for Fall from Clinique.

Another Fall collection to look forward to that is totally my shades, is this new Modern Matte Collection from Clinique. Velvety rich meets fine powder finishes for a new matte - a modern matte.


Let the deep, lush shades of fall take on new dimension when you mix a very maxed-up matte on lids with high impact lips. This collection is full of brand new shades and a new product - my pick from the collection, the swivel-up cream-to-powder blush.


Blushwear Cream Stick  is a beautiful new cream-to-powder blush stick that glides on over cheeks for a natural, all-day glow. This blush can be dabbed easily onto the apples of the cheeks and blended out with your fingertips. Gorgeous. It comes in three perfect for Fall shades: Very Blush, Rosy Blush and Shy Blush.

The collection also includes a new lip colour, High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15. I am loving that most of the new Clinique lip products contain this often overlooked, but much needed sun protection. This colour is designed to wear all day, for up to 8 hours, in 20 shades. New in for Fall are Plum Nude, Go Fig and Rosette. Make sure to line the lips with the new Defining Liner for Lips in one of the three new shades, with an ingenious sharpener built right into the cap.

Rounding out the collection is a new shadow, the Colour Surge Eye Shadow Stay Matte in new beautiful shades. This shadow is Cliniques softest, smoothest, richest matte shadow that creates an elegant intensity with just a single stoke. The shadow does not feel heavy at all as it lasts all through the day with no creasing.

MAC Cult of Cherry!

If deep and dark reds, browns and wines are your makeup choice, then this collection is for you.

MAC's Cult of Cherry is luscious, dramatic, undeniably eroticized. Ripened lips, Spiced Hot Chocolate eyes or Illegal Purple nails, combine to seduce with a sweet-and-shock, way-to-go dark. Separates the bitter from the sweet. This drama just gets more delicious.


Shocking - yes. Especially in that photo from MAC, which in my opinion borders on goth. But this collection is far from it.

Shadowy Lady Quad - $36
Light Fall Dirty light pink (satin)
Smudge Violet Frosty blackened lavender with multi-dimensional pearl (frost)

I must say that the Tempting Quad is gorgeous. That unexpected pop of lime green is subtle, especially when you are a bit light handed at shadow application as I am. And the glosses - there is not a bad one in the bunch. I am not ready for the dark lip again. I was never into it that much, and I am very glad that there are many other options. 

Cult of Cherry is a Fall Collection, so you will have to wait a few weeks before it is on counter, but it will be in September - so plan for it now!
