I bought Clinique Lash Power because of a couple reviews I saw online. I thought it looked promising, and when I tried it I wasn't disappointed.
Lash Power stays put on my oily face ALL DAY. And that's quite a feat because I've never found a mascara that wouldn't at least give me slight raccoon eyes.
I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to mascaras and I cried, tanned, slept in, and furiously rubbed my eyes with this mascara on. I think I saw one flake come off. Seriously.
Lash Power doesn't give you dramatic, voluminous lashes, but it gives you lashes that are sophisticated, fluttery, and worry free. Aside from the staying power, another plus is that the tiny brush hits every little lash.
For now, this is definitely my HG mascara!
Pros: Doesn't smudge, Lasts all day, Easy to remove with warm water, Tiny brush makes sure every lash gets coated
Cons: None
Review on: Powders - Loose Powders Clinique Gentle Light Powder
I bought this in Glow 2. I was looking for a powder that would give a dewy/glowy finish. This one had too much glow. The brush it came with was terrible. They shouldn't have bothered including it.
Review on: Blushes Clinique Blushing Blush Powder in Aglow
This is a really gorgeous shade -- peachy/pink with shimmer. Great staying power too. The packaging is also really decent. The brush that it comes with is actually pretty good.
Review on: Lips - Lipsticks Clinique Long Last Soft Shine in Creamy Nude
Clinique seems to have a good selection of nude lipsitcks, but I haven't tried the other nude colors from clinque yet. But so far this seems like a perfect match for me, without being too pink or too dark. I wear this almost everyday! The texture is very creamy and it doesn't dry out my lips like most other lipstick would.
Pros: creamy, perfect nude shade, doesn't dry my lips
Cons: on the pricey side
Review on: Bronzers Clinique true bronze pressed powder bronzer
This is a really matte bronzer. Lasts all day. Colour is kind of orangey but it's easy to blend. I'm pretty pale so that might be why it looks orangey because it looks more brown orange in the pan. The packaging is a flip top and it opens pretty easily.
Review on: Blushes Clinique fresh bloom all over colour
this is a gorgeous product. As you may know, it has a pretty flower in it, made out of several colours of blush/all over face highlighter.
It gives a really nice glow to the skin without being over the top. I would say it's more 'icing' on the cake than a product that you 'need' but it's a gorgeous product that I really enjoy having in my stash - it feels luxurious, and it's always nice to have some luxurious things to play with sometimes!
Pros: beautiful flower design made out of coloured powders, gives a lovely glow, feels luxurious
Cons: the more you use it, the more the pattern will wear off :(
Review on: Lips - Lip Gloss Clinique Superbalm in Mango
This is probably one of my favourite lipglosses. It's a sheer peachy colour that looks good with lots of nude lipsticks. It's really shiny without any shimmer and lasts a long time even without anything underneath. It's pretty moisturizing and comes in a squeezable tube.
Review on: Highlighter Clinique Colour Rub in 02 Sheer Radiance
Absolutely wonderful product! This is discontinued by Clinique, however you can easily find them on EBay for around $8 USD + shipping. Much cheaper than when Clinique carried them, I believe.
Looks wonderful on my pale ivory complexion. Gives beautiful and youthful sheen where applied. Works wonderfully on cheekbones/temples to draw out cheekbones.
Can be mixed with foundation to give an allover lustre.
Pros: Beautiful for pale complexions. Cheap on EBay. Great shimmery application. Not too distracting, though gives a beautiful youthful appearance.
Cons: None. Absolutely WONDERFUL.
Review on: Eyes - Eye Shadows Clinique Color Surge Duo in Strawberry Fudge
I was given this duo as a gift and I love it! The colors have great pigmentation, with a cool irredescence. The colors really brighten my hazel/green eyes and blend so well.
Review on: Lips - Lip Gloss Clinique Full Potential Lip Plumping Lip Gloss
I received this in a GWP and really liked it. It's just sticky enough to give some lasting power, but not uncomfortable (like Lipglass). There's a super mild tingle, but I have full lips and don't notice a huge difference, someone with small lips may notice more plumping. My only complaint is the lack of colors, especially that they are ALL sparkley.
Review on: Foundations - Liquid Clinique Perfectly Real
I picked this foundation up on recommendation from a friend, after having an impossible time finding a match at MAC. It's smooth, with a nice matte finish and covers just enough without looking cakey. My friend and I both found the perfect shade and I also like Clinique's rep as being more "skin friendly".
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Clinique Clinique Long Pretty Lashes in Black
I like this one too. I got it for free in a kit with a Clinique fragrance purchase and used it out of curiosity. Wow. It was so gentle on my extremely sensitive eyes. I love it and although the price is a bit high, I still will buy it.
Pros: Non-irritating, easy to use wand, long-lasting, non-smearing for even oily skin, non-clumping.
Cons: Cost
Review on: Foundations - Liquid Clinique Clinique Superfit Makeup
I went to the counter to try this product and asked the MA to describe the product to me. She did very little to look for a color match and when I left the store to check the color in the sunlight it was obviously the wrong color. Also after wearing the foundation for an hour I got very shiny and my already oily skin felt even more so. I would not use this makeup again, back to the search for the perfect foundation.
Pros: Felt light going on, good coverage when first applied
Cons: became oily, hard to match to skin tone
Review on: Foundations - Liquid Clinique Clinique Superfit Makeup
This was pretty good at first. The foundation blended into my skin right away. Although, I noticed that it was kind of chalky-looking when you first put it on, then after an hour, it kind of sinks into your skin and evens out your skin tone. I've been using this for a couple of months now and the product has a different consistency. I'll probably try something else though.
Pros: smooth, matte, evens out skin tone
Cons: product doesn't last long, chalky-looking at first
