If you're part of TeamSugar's Clinique Clique, you already know that Clinique has an easy-to-wear color collection along with its famed skin care line. If not, its fall colors are reason enough to get acquainted with Clinique's eye shadows, mascaras and lip colors.

The new items won't be in stores until August, but I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at Clinique's new Play in the Darks collection. It's all about "blackened color," but not in a goth, I-hate-my-parents way. Instead, the hues are rich, saturated and smoldering. I think this collection will be a big hit because its colors are intense but not heavy, so they're wearable whether you're 17 or 71. And if you're a fan of Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, have I got some news for you. To find out what it is, and for a breakdown of the products used to get this makeup look, read more

One of Clinique's best-selling items is Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, a universally flattering deep rose that has a huge cult following. That's why I was so excited to find out about a new limited-edition shade called Black Plum. As a sister shade to Black Honey, it's perfect. It's just slightly darker, but because it's sheer, it isn't too much.

Another new product is Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss, a larger and more moisturizing version of Superbalm Tinted Lip Treatment. It comes in eight shiny shades, including a gorgeously glistening magenta called Raspberry that I have to try!

Finally, here are the products used in this photo, which I love:

  • Colour Surge Eye Shadow Trio in Black Truffle

  • Brush-On Cream Liner in Graphite

  • High Definition Lashes Brush Then Comb Mascara in Black

  • Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Sunset Glow

  • Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
