I already know I hate Clinique. Why do I do this to myself!?
So I did my friend's makeup for her wedding. She had this gorgous lipstick and gloss. It looked AWESOME on her.
Do I buy lipstick and gloss for the color? Sometimes. But in general, you should buy it for the FORMULA. Most brands will have a color similar to what you are looking for...I mean, there are only so many shades of pinks, reds, nudes to go around, right?
Granted, I am spoiled by my $40 glosses. I'll admit it. Moving on...
I do have very fond memories of my Clinique "Sweet Honey" lipstick $14 from my college - age 25 days and will honestly still wear it sometimes.
Apparently, this lipstick of the bride's that I "just had to have" is the #1 seller of all time.

I do see they have a set for $33 but I would not buy it even though the color is stellar/gorgeous/etc. It fades unevenly which is not cute when the color is a plum and our lips are light pink. And the gloss goes on even but also doesn't last very long which leaves a weird lip-liner look around the outside. Ew.
Lesson of the day: Put on big sunglasses and a floppy hat if the Clinique girl looks your way. Go to the nearest computer, log onto Sephora and buy this instead.
XOXOXO!
