During the hot summer months it's easy to think about makeup and decide to pass. So it's smart to come up with a cooling, long-lasting eye color that you won't mind putting on and won't annoy you by creasing and melting later. Well, we knew Clinique was smart!
Their Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-Hour Eye Colour launches next month, but it already showing up on sites like Macys.com and Amazon.com (seems to be $10 more expensive on Amazon for some reason). The product comes in 12 summery colors in mostly pastel hues. I tried Cute-cumber, a greyish green shade.

The cooling applicator really does live up to its claim, and the semi-liquid formula glides right on. Don't be shy, you can put a little more on the applicator than you think. You then blend with your fingers. If you like to wear just one shade of shadow perfectly blended, this is a really good option for you. It's hard to go wrong blending this.
It also packs a skincare punch for your lids, which let's face it probably don't get much attention in your skincare routine. Vitamin E, Broccoli, Carrot, Blueberry and Spinach extracts give it its antioxidant power, cucumber, aloe vera and caffeine help revitalize tired lids (who doesn't need that in the morning!?) and collagen boosting peptides help smooth skin texture. Who knew there was so much to fix about our lids in the first place?
I really enjoyed this product, though I would have liked to see some bolder colour options (I didn't get to try the darkest shade - Lick-orice). I'd definitely recommend it, especially for someone who likes a no-fuss eye look.
