My Movie Night Lip Look Starring Clinique Black Tie Violets

November 14th, 2009 by Karen 21 Comments

clinique-black-violets-lip-look

Things I’m crushing on this weekend…

  • Ryan Reynolds
  • Toe socks (brr… it’s cold in here)
  • The Clinique Black Tie Violets collection!!!

That there at the top is the Black Tie lip combo I wore to the movies last night. 🙂

I went with Defining Liner for Lips in Pomegranate ($14) layered beneath Different Lipstick in Different Grape ($14), and for extra sparkle and shine I added Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine in Bloomberry ($18).

It made the movie easier to bear, LOL!

As far as the colors and finishes of the products I used (to dupe them with other things from your collection), the combo breaks down to…

  • A shimmery reddish blue lip liner
  • A creamy violet lipstick
  • A lipgloss in a shimmery pink

I’m picturing the look with thick black cat eyeliner. Wouldn’t that look hawt?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Did you do anything fun tonight? I just got back from pizza, and now I’m looking for a brainless movie on iTunes. Tabs says “meow.” He wants me to get The Ugly Truth. He loves those romantic comedies…

    What a gorgeous pink! It’s amazing how the color of the lipstick really changes when it’s layered under the gloss. And I totally agree on the black eyeliner, that would be hawt 😀
    Ugh, I worked today. How’s that for fun?! But I’m going to Sephora tomorrow for the first time in – gasp! – two whole weeks! Seriously, I think that’s the longest I’ve gone without visiting Sephora. Ever. 😛

    I have always wondered if the Clinique Full Potential Lip Plumps actually plumped. I have two of them from recent GWP’s but I don’t want to open them yet… I already have sooo many lip glosses opened & unused, I don’t want to waste mine (yet). It looks like it give you the perfect shine & sparkle though without being overly glossy. Sigh, now I’m going to open one of mine!

    I knew this would happen the second I saw the pictures, I want all of this collection. The colours are the exactr type of thing I go for.

    I think thats the most gorgeous shade of pink, so pretty and perfect for a casual night out.

    Did you and Tabs decide on a movie? I had no idea he was such a little movie buff!

    P.S – Don’t you find those toe-socks weird? I bought some but I didn’t like the feeling of something between my toes all the time.

    I’ve seen the Ugly truth a few months ago and I was in a such a good mood after 🙂 I love the creamy violet color, I think it may be an alternative to my pink lipgloss, to much pink is enough even for me:)

    Very pretty! Love the look on you! Is the Clinique gloss sticky? I love glosses, but most are really sticky. I did try the MAC Dazzleglass Cream gloss last night and it was a lot less sticky than my Baby Sparks Dazzleglass, but I’m still not in love with it. I might try the Cremesheen Glass next time I am at the MAC counter. I did return the Laura Mercier glosses from the Sephora F&F sale. So far, my cheap Jesse’s girl lipgloss is the best non-sticky gloss I have found.

    I went to the mall for a little while last night and then came home and read books from the library, while hubby watched Bama play football. I love football, but they seem to do badly when I am in the room! LOL! So, I go in another room and read!

    Pretty, you can’t go wrong with pink lipglosses. Hope you had a fun date with Tabs and your hubby.

      Hi Marisol,

      Eh, wait to watch The Box on DVD. It had many elements of good sci-fi but it didn’t quite get to where it needed to go.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
