Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a girl who didn’t love Clinique Black Honey.

You can read the rest of that story here, but the important stuff is going to be in this post. Well – this post, plus a few more, but those ones haven’t happened yet so we can only allude to them for now.

Like the iconic Almost Lipstick, I think the eyeshadow quad and blusher are best suited for warm-toned skin, but that’s not to say they’re not gorgeous on cooler tones as well! I paired this look with MAC Teddy instead of the Black Honey Brush-On Cream Liner – the cream liner is just so hyped; I’m terrified to try it. (Because, well, what if I don’t like it?! It would crush my cream liner dreams.)

Anyhow, I’m happy to report that the eye khol, which I’ve reviewed previously, pairs just as well with the quad as expected (if not better). A review for the quad’s upcoming, but for those of you on the fence about it: if you love Teddy, you’ll love this quad. Honestly, the two are like peas in a (very pretty) pod!

P.S. Feels like…

I snapped a couple more shots just as the sun was setting, and despite the deceptively warm lighting, I just had to share them. The languid, hazy feel of this lighting – that’s the vibe I get from this quad.

Then you’re probably not colour-managed – which means that these photos are going to look extremely off-colour. Go read this post in another browser for the full effect!
