Using a Clinique Lip Palette – a Product Review

A while back I needed a new Clinique City Base compact, so I went to Younkers to pick one up. It was a few weeks before I needed the new compact, but it was Clinique bonus days so I decided to go ahead and buy it anyway to maximize my money.

One of the items in my bonus day make-up bag was a Clinique Lip Palette with the following colors included:

DL – a different grape
BSL – pink-a-boo
BSL – cranberry cream
DL – ice bloom

DL lipsticks from Clinique are Different Lipstick while BSL lipsticks from Clinique are Butter Shine lipsticks.

I have been mixing and matching the shades on my lip as you can see in the photo of my partially used palettes. My mixing has mostly been using the different shades to highlight different portions of my lips to add definition to my upper lip and add the illusion of plumpness to my lower lip. So far, so good.

I have particularly enjoyed the experience of using a lip brush to apply lip color versus using an actual lipstick. This is my first time doing it, but I can already tell the difference it makes in both accuracy of application and adding definition.


Definitely worth a whirl. I’m going to try to get a more expansive lip palette in the future.
