For Summer 2017,
Clinique has released the perfect makeup collaboration with designer
Johnathan Adler. Known for his modern and bold home decors, Adler was inspired by jet-set glamor and exuberant summer destinations for this collection. Today, I have a few pieces from the limited edition range to share with you. So to see some swatches and read my reviews, click......

Clinique + Jonathan Adler | "07 Aqua Pop" Lip Pop & "02 Peach" Cheek Pop |
Clinique + Jonathan Adler Cheek Pop in "02 Peach Pop" ($33 CAD) & Lid Pop in "07 Aqua Pop" ($25 CAD):
Housed in a shiny silver compact with a clear acrylic lid bearing the Clinique + Jonathan Adler logo, both the Lid Pop and the Cheek Pop are pressed with a unique geometric design. The packaging of this collection is such a standout for me because everything perfectly embodies both the simplistic Clinique feel and the colorful, crisp Adler aesthetics.

Clinique + Jonathan Adler | "02 Peach" Cheek Pop & "07 Aqua Pop" Lip Pop |
"
02 Peach Pop" is a light golden peach with very subtle shimmers. Although it's a baked powder blush, the Cheek Pop has a silky and refined texture. The pigmentation is very nice and the application is super flawless. "
07 Aqua Pop" appears as a stunning dark sapphire in the pan but wears more like a shimmery medium blue. The formulation is actually super pigmented and buttery but I think it's just one of those shades that require a dark base to really pop.

Clinique + Jonathan Adler | Pop Lip Color + Primer |
Clinique + Jonathan Adler Pop Lip Color + Primer ($27 CAD):
Housed in a special, limited edition bullet featuring geometric engravings and a colorful, acrylic-topped cap, these Pop Lip Color + Primer lipsticks are definitely some of the cutest items from the collection. I've
reviewed a few shades from the permanent range before and generally enjoyed the formulation. However, I find these three shades to be even better!

Clinique + Jonathan Adler | Pop Lip Color + Primer |
The Pop Lip Color + Primer lipsticks have a built-in lip primer so their formulation is extra creamy and cushion-y. "
02 Bare Pop" is a pink-beige nude with soft golden shimmers; it's on the sheerer side but the color is very even and flattering. "
25 Capri Pop" is a bright coral-red with subtle golden shimmers, this one is your quintessential summer lip color; it's bold, it's fun, and it's sizzling hot! Finally, my favorite of the three is "
27 Santorini Pop". This is a stunning berry cream; the formulation is very pigmented and impossibly creamy. It's just a shade darker than your usual berry pink and it adds the most glamorous and sophisticated pop of color.

Clinique + Jonathan Adler Luxe Brush Collection ($61 CAD):
Housed in an Adler-designed fabric pouch, the Luxe Brush Collection includes four colorful makeup brushes. You get a powder brush, a blush brush, a fluffy shader brush, and a smaller shader brush. The brush handles are made of clear acrylic and the pink bristles are made of a soft synthetic fiber. Overall, the quality feels very sturdy and well-made.
