With its very 80s look in hot pink and lime green colors, the packaging makes you want to dig out your [Walkman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkman-sss) and rock out to some Pat Benatar. If you have no idea what those dated terms mean, you can still enjoy the [great eye-shadow colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinique-x-crayola) that come in the 'Pretty in Punk Mix' collection including a vibrant aqua and an electric blue.
