I don't really use it a lot, but when I do, I always find it a nice cute colour to turn to when everything else just doesn't seem right. Pigmented enough, but I did get this in my mom's GWP, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have bought this (my 14-year old budget is too small to buy a 17 dollar eyeshadow). Standard e/s packaging, normal sponge applicator. But you have to love something thats named strawberry fudge : D
Overall rating: I do like these colors, but I rarely wear this combo. Yet, I can't bring myself to part with it, perhaps for sentimental reasons. Clinique GWPs were among the first makeup items I played with. It's a beautiful duo of slightly reddened brown (think the color of true birch beer) paired with a golded pink. I think I would have like/used this combo more if it had a lighter-colored browbone highlighter. The pink shade is stunning but just way to deep for that, but it would make a gorgeous crease shade!
Price: This was a GWP, but I think Clinique's regular-priced duos are "mid-range," IMHO: $17.50.
Packaging: The usual eyeshadow packaging, although I must say that the silver-colored casing makes it easy to spot in my train case :-)
Would I buy again: No, I wouldn't. continued >>

This eyeshadow wasn't as great for me as for some of the other reviewers. The colors were very light, and I had to apply it heavily to get the color I wanted. If I'm buying a department store brand of make-up, I don't think I should have to apply a lot of it to get a good color quality. I didn't think it had good enough staying power for the price. I'm sure with a primer underneath, it would be OK, but it didn't work for me when I tried it. Secondly, I threw away the little brush applicator thing that comes with it right away. It's too small to work with. That's not a big deal, but I thought I should at least mention that. Basically, this mascara isn't too bad. It isn't a terrible eye-shadow, but those are the problems I had with it. I'm sure I could find an eyeshadow just as good at a drugstore.
This might be one of my favorite Clinique duo's, especially for the summer. The duo consists of a peachy pink with gold shimmer (think NARS Orgasm as an e/s) and a bronze brown color. I use both shades equally and its a nice but not an ott look for summer. Goes well with a variety of makeup looks. Some Clinique shadows don't last long, but this lasts all day on my lids and I don't even use an e/s base. Would repurchase this one for sure.
I got this as a GWP and thought I would hate it, but after reading the reviews on MUA I decided to give it a try. I was so surprised! The pink shade looks garish in the pan, but when applied it is a beautiful shimmery goldish pink which is actually incredibly flattering. I love the brown too. It goes perfectly with the pink and is a beautiful shade for the crease and outer v. I wear these shadows with a dark brown liner (BB chocolate shimmer ink) and it looks really sophisticated and quite unusual and makes my blue eyes pop. You do have to be careful not to over-apply though - I applied too much pink a couple of weeks ago and it looked far too strong for daytime. I can't knock a lippy off for that though, because every other time I've used it it has looked completely perfect.

I LOVE this duo... The pink is almost a gold color and it's fabulous! I think it would look great on any skin tone. I just wish the brown side was larger because I use that one the most and it's almost empty.
I just looove this stuff! The pink makes my blue eyes look really bright blue, and the brown is very nice too. I think it would look good on anyone. It lasts all day too. Just love it.
I really love this duo. I think the colors are universally flattering. I've always wanted a pinkish shadow and this is it! I got it as a GWP and it's long lasting. Plus I love the little packaging. I've never seen eyeshadows packaged like this and I think it's about time they were! I opted out the little brush for one with bristles (I hate those hard shadow brushes!) I will buy once my sample is out.
