There really must be a "wrong side of the bed" because I think it's the side I woke up on this morning. I needed more than mere caffeine to make it through the day today, so I stopped by my favorite chai place, the Nordstrom cafe, because it also happens to be located a few feet from the Nordie's cosmetics department. 
When I came to the Clinique counter, I almost dropped my drink!
With just three pieces, the new Milly for Clinique Pretty in Prints Collection might be one of the littlest releases this spring, but I'm such a total sucker for pretty prints.
About Milly
The label was established in 2000, when founder/designer Michelle Smith returned to New York after working for Paris powerhouses like Hermès and Dior. The collections consistently turn out feminine pieces and classic silhouettes in personally designed fabrics and prints that appeal to socialistas as well as starlets on the preppy side. Milly has perfected the Palm Beach palette with Upper East Side polish.

The chocolate browns and playful pinks just look so darn foolproof and wearable, don't they? Sure, the colors themselves aren't particularly edgy, but these look like the kinds of things I could wear when I want to look polished and professional but don't want to spend a lot of time doing it.
Clinique Pretty in Prints Compact $36 (limited edition) — Clinique nailed this powder eye/cheek palette because the colors go together perfectly. It comes with four eyeshadows — one, a pearly, peachy beige (looks a little like MAC Vex without the green pearl); a bronzy gold with a touch of green and pink glitter (GORGEOUS!); a shimmery, medium-toned pink; and a shimmery chocolate brown — and a peachy pink blush, which kinda resembles a less golden version of NARS Orgasm. Also in the mix: a snazzy drawstring printed pouch and how-to card with a step-by-step tutorial. Great for makeup newcomers and seasoned makeup addicts alike (the ones lacking self-control, like yours truly, ha!), particularly ones who wear warm colors well.
