Two from Clinique For Aging Skin

Clinique-Dark-Spot-Corrector-and-Youth-Surge-Night-Moisturizer Since I discovered a few dark spots to the right of my right eye recently that were not there a few months ago, or at least I don’t think they were, I’ve been all hot on this new product CLINIQUE put out. The main offending spot is about the size of a pencil eraser, so I dove head first into their new Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector ($49.50/1oz) when their PR people sent it to me to try out. There’s a huge push on this product right now as they claim prescription strength and that you can see a difference on the skin in as little as four weeks. It contains their patent-pending CL-302 plant-derived complex that claims to help prevent the appearance of new dark spots and visibly break up existing clusters of pigment as well as  improve the overall radiance and clarity. So how did it work for me? I have used it for about 5 weeks now and while I do see a boost in the overall radiance and slight difference around the main brown spot, it didn’t get rid of the brown spot altogether, which is what I was hoping for. So I’ll keep on using it until the product runs out and hopefully it will do some more damage to the main brown spot.

The other new product I’ve been using is their new Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer for dry combination ($48.50/1.7oz) and what a great nighttime moisturizer this one is. Based on Sirtuin Techology, this super thick balm that absorbs pretty quickly. And while it does seem a tad on the expensive side, even for Clinique, a little dab goes a long way.

Clinique Instant Lift for Brows

Wow CLINIQUE is putting out some really useful products these days. There’s this one and then there’s this Instant Lift for Brows ($15 @ clinique.com). It’s a two-fer as in one side is the filler to add a little color to sparse brows and give them some shape, while the other side is a warm pink brow bone highlighter, which we know makes eyes just pop. And the filler is wax-based, so it will also help keep the hairs in place. Love that!! Available in 3 shades, Deep Brown, Soft Brown and Soft Blonde.

Two Mascaras for Length

Maybelline-XXL-Pro-Mascara-Clinique-High-Lengths-Mascara MAYBELLINE NEW YORK XXL Pro Volume Mascara ($7.99 @ ulta.com) – this two-sided mascara contains a microfiber basecoat one side and then rich color on the other. The microfibers are like tiny extensions!

CLINIQUE High Lengths Mascara ($14 @ clinique.com) – the brand is taking a new approach to mascara, at least the brush is. Instead of the usual wand, it’s a curved fine tooth comb that helps you get every last lash. Love it!

Gimme Life, Gimme Clinique

Clinique-Deep-Comfort-Hand-and-Cuticle-Cream I’ve always been a fan of the Deep Comfort creams and CLINIQUE just added a new one to the line up. I can’t help but think that this Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream ($17.50/2.6oz @ clinique.com) is just the formula that we’ve seen before repackaged and renamed. My cuticles take such a beating this time of year so I dove nails first into this one. And it’s winning me over but I had to look up the ingredients for the Deep Comfort Body Moisturizer and they are different, phew! This one has added in murumuru, meadowfoam seed oil, gentian root, chamomile and linoleic acid among others that whip nail and cuticles into shape.

Mineral Foundation – One Liquid, One Powder

Powders? Liquids? Creams? Which form do you like your mineral foundation? Here are two to choose from that are just coming out and get high marks from us.

Clinique-Superbalanced-Powder-Makeup-Lise-Watier-Mineral-Brush-Foundaiton

Everyone is getting into the shaved off mineral powder and I’m loving it! CLINIQUE Superbalanced Powder Makeup SPF 15 ($34.50 @ clinique.com) is the latest one to hit the scene and if you need to control the oil on your face, this is one for you to try out. And this one is not your typical tap and buff mineral powder. The formula is super refined so just use the enclosed brush to apply like a regular face powder. Available in 8 shades.

LISE WATIER Mineral Brush Foundation ($35/1oz @ lisewatier.com) – contains a brush built in the top to dab and blend, dab and blend... and this is the first formula to be created with a tourmaline base,  vitamins A and E and even chamomile to soothe the skin. Available in 12 shades.
