Notes: Color-wise I would describe this as a rich teal tone with an intense gold pearl. It is BEAUTIFUL. Like... I can't explain how my heart sings to own this and how nice it was of the Clinique brand rep to save this one for me, it makes it just that much more special. I'm not entirely sure if the people that don't like these got duds or something because mine is pigmented AF... like, I don't have to use it wet or anything crazy; although I have used it wet and it does go on intensely that way. I just wanted to show you the awesome shift of the pearl when the light hits it just right. Mermaid magic! In any case, this (at least this particular shade) is extremely pigmented, it's soft, buttery, easy to blend. I am blown away. I feel like I have to put this out there because my past experience with Clinique eyeshadows was "meh" at best and often times I was disappointed. The colors would look nice in the palettes but the payoff, texture, expectations versus reality of what the color was would be... not what I wanted them to be. This, on the other hand, is amazing. Plus I dig the flower design, I think she cute. The entire Pop line in Clinique is really wonderful in my opinion and I like how it gives people who expect the quality of buttery, high-pigment, smooth products the option of having something that's also allergy tested and free of potentially irritating fragrances. Thumbs up from me.
