Clinique All About Shadow Duo

I have this in beach plum duo, both are shimmery but just the right amount, a beige/champagne colour and a plum purple colour, these two colours together are beautifully-coordinated and the purple looks fantastic in the outer corners of your eyes Unfortunately this one has been discontinued as I can never find it in the shops anywhere.

These shadows are powdery, silky and soft with high pigment, you don't need much on, and so easy to build up the colour and they blend wonderfully together

The colour lasts all day and stays bright and vibrant, doesn't dull like some shadows do All in all, I adore my duo, as always great quality!

The Shadow Duo's I've used have each had the perfect combination of contrasting shades. Be careful not to put too much on your brush/sponge, it's easily done! They are easy to apply and remain even (unlike some eye shadows which gather in natural creases of eyelids). Only down side is price, but otherwise great product!

This produce is extremely high quality and pricey but you pay for what you get. Its the most pigmented eye shadow I've ever used and the colours are soft and very feminine. It's got a frosty colour to it but isn't too glittery. Great !

I have the 'Strawberry Fudge' pallet, which is pretty much my favourite shadow combo. I like a nice, light pink on my lids with a brown contour - it suits my colouring nicely.

The packaging is super cute - it's a nice little chrome-coloured hard case that slides open to reveal the usual application sponge.

At first glance, I thought the pallet would be exactly what I wanted - the pink is pretty and the brown, while a bit darker that I'd usually go with, is a good looking shade.

When I applied the pink I realised it wasn't actually the shade I was hoping for. It has quite a pronounced shimmer to it - gold flecks - and the pink is pretty sheer. I think I could have happily rocked this in my younger days, but these days I go more for a mat finish (NO sparkle)

That being said, it lasts for ages, and once I got past my initial "OMG SPARKLE" shock it actually wasn't too-too bad. The brown contour is good, not really much shimmer there and it does what you'd expect it to do.

Would I buy this when I run out? No. Is it a bad pallet? No. It just isn't my kettle of fish. I most likely will finish this one though, so it isn't all bad :)

I got this free in a sample when I bought some other Clinique stuff and I love it! I wear this as my everyday eyeshadow to give my eyes some subtle definition. Easy to apply and stays on all day :) Just not sure I would fork out for the full priced product when I run out

When I was younger I was given this by my mother in law. I had only just realised how to apply makeup properly, I loved to use the lighter tone underneath my eyebrows after putting on brow liner. It made my eyes pop with definition. The make up lasted quite a while, I was so upset when it ran out as I couldn't afford this again :(

This is such a lovely product. It looks chic and neat. It's a classic peice of art. That's before you even open it! This sits beautifully on the eyelids and doesn't crease of look crusty. The duo is such a great idea if you're a little unsure about how to pair your eyeshadows. It takes the guesswork out. The colours all go so well together and they really make your eyes pop. They have obviously looked carefully about the 2 colours that go together. The duo is particularly pricey for 2 eyeshadows but I could without a doubt recommend this to anyone with delicate skin or sensitive skin or eyes. You can't go wrong really. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 out of 5 for using it again is that I would prefer to have a palette of colours for a relatively cheaper price. Otherwise they are beautiful shades and there should be a duo that would suit anyone!
