Apply It Quickly With Something New From Clinique

Here’s a fun new way to put on blush from CLINIQUE. Their new Quick Blush ($21.50 @ clinique.com) puts the color inside the cap. How does it work then? While it’s closed, twist the base one way and the cap the other. Lift the cap off and there’s some of the colored powder on the tips of the brush bristles! Be sure to give the brush a tap-tap before applying to get the excess off. Happy blushing!

Turn-It-Around With Clinique

CLINIQUE’s new Turnaround Instant Facial Masque ($36.50/2.5oz @ nordstrom.com) is meant to give you the results of a microdermabrasion’s smoothness and radiance in all of 5 minutes. Hmmmm, seems like a pretty steep promise but I guess if you can get the formula right, it is possible, and I am happy to report that it is. What I like about this scrub is that because the morsels are so tiny, it feels like I am able to get into every nook and cranny around my face. Nose? No problem! Behind the ears? Easy with this one. And I am able to give my eyebrows a good scrub, which I love to do. Here’s the skinny – it’s formulated with patent-pending technology and uses physical and chemical exfoliation. Some of the ingredients are: Chestnut Extract and Salicylic Acid and others. This 5-minute mask can be used up to 3 times a week, depending on your skin type. Loves it!

I have the Turnaround Radiance Peel Once-A-Week System on deck to try and will let you know if it’s worth it.

Gift Pick - Clinique Makes It Personal

Don’t you like being able to put a personally touch on a gift you are giving to those closest to you? CLINIQUE has your answer. They rolled this out last year but for some reason I seemed to learn about it too late so this year, I’m getting a head start as it’s just so cool!

Happy Personalized Photo Bottle

($52.50/3.4oz) – what it is – their Happy fragrance with a photo you upload to their site to put on the bottle. Could be a shot of the recipient or a silly one of you both from that road trip this past summer or even one of her dog when he was a puppy. In order to get your personalized bottle in time for Christmas, you must place the order by December 8^th so get over to clinique.com to order yours today.
