Red Lipstick Eater

The 24th day of December ended with a little sample of Aromatics in Black , a perfume by Clinique. It is sweet but not so sweet, it is pungent but not so much, it is sexy and evening like, but you can also use it during the daylight. I really enjoyed the smell: it says that it contains myrrh, fruit and exotic notes. There is also a hint of cinnamon in it. I give ten over ten to this perfume, also for not giving me a headache. Moreover, it was a very nice smell to have for Christmas evening. Merry Christmas to everyone, although it is past now, I want to say it here once more! Hope that we will have a good year where we return the resources we used responsibly back to nature. Okay, so in short, I suggest this perfume to ones who prefer a good balance between sweet, fresh and mysterious.

I give ten over ten to Clinique Pop Splash air kiss, number 11.  It is shiny, it is hydrating, it is not sticky, and it is not too pink. It is a perfect thing between a lipstick and a lip gloss. I think I will use it a lot and will be satisfied with it. AIR KISS NUMBER 11 The evaluation of the 23rd day is very short, I am aware, but I have nothing else to say, the lipstick did all the job, less conversation more action is needed.  Merry Christmas to all those reading my blog and also to those who are not reading! And Merry Christmas to those who might start reading my blog, too. 

The lipstick has a very nice pinkish and Christmasy colour... Well actually if we look at the website it is amongst the violet colour group. Lovepop number 13 is a very interesting colour, it brightens your face, it gives some kind of evening look, and it almost looks like you have used your mother's lipstick by mistake. love pop number 13 At the same time, it gives some shine to your lips as it has some sparkles inside. The only problem I found with this number 13 of the pop series was that it does not go away easily! Well, you will say, the lipstick should stay. I think the contrary, I think that anything natural would not stick and stay. Cause then it means it has some kind of artificial quality to it. Then you will say, do you want to refresh your lipstick all the time? My answer is yes, I prefer that it is natural and I can refresh it from time to time. For me, it was hard to get rid of it, moreover, it dried my lips after the use... It can also be due to the wintertime

I do not know if it is because of the Clinique custom-repair serum or not today my skin was much better, today meaning 21st of December.  I can feel that after having used Clinique for almost 21days, my skin seems to be responding well, it is not dry, it is clean and it looks really shinier than usual. So I have to say that my general and overall experience has been positive. I used this serum yesterday night before going to bed. The next day my skin was quite hydrated and it looked quite tight. I have to use repeatedly to understand if it works better or not but I give nine over ten to this product and suggest it! Clinique smart custom-repair serum

This time I did not use the product of 18th of December so I cannot evaluate it, I will come back to that one later. Today I will evaluate this mousse cleanser of Clinique: mousse face wash.  In other words, rinse-off foaming cleanser. Was happy with it for two reasons: it cleans well and it does not harm the skin. But, again a big but, for dry skin it is a bit too much maybe, you know when your skin makes the sound of a surface when you touch it; so yes for dry skin it might be too much, so you might, in fact, prefer it if you have oily skin. Still a good product, I give 7,5 to it! RINSE OFF FOAMING CLEANSER MOUSSE

I was quite happy with this one yes yes yes! On 17th of December, Moisture Surge supercharged concentrate came out of the box of the advent calendar. I tried it twice or three times and each time it has really hydrated my skin. I am very very very happy with it. Suggest it to everyone, I give ten over ten to this product especially if you have dry skin.  Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate

You might have heard of Black honey lipstick of Clinique . Today I tried that one. It seems that it is one of the cult lipsticks of Clinique. I did not know anything about that.    It looks wonderful on the lips, they say, I do not know if it is true. It looks more like Bourdieu colour rather than dark and it looks also shiny. It does not dry the lips but does not let them be hydrated so much either. It is a very unique lipstick as I have never seen this colour before, in fact, on the website they say that it is a perfect mix of blue, red and yellow. So it shall be something really special in artistic terms. I like it and will use it for sure. However, I am not taken by surprise and love and awe, so I give eight over ten to this lipstick. Where there are others who evaluated it and gave less than me! (In fact, I do learn a lot from watching her.) In short, be thankful for my nice comments in which I never want to hurt anyone...  Have hydrated lips and a nice week! 

I am writing the day after I used this cream: moisturising cream of Clinique, it is called dramatically different moisturising cream . I used it at night and it seems to be hydrating still. I like it a lot! I think that it is a great cream. It kept my skin hydrated whole night and even in the morning. It does not have a heavy or unnatural smell. I might consider buying this cream in the future, as these are only small samples from 24 days of Clinique advent calendar. I give nine over ten to this cream! Dramatically different moisturizing cream of Clinique As we are on the fifteenth day of Clinique - 24 days, I am getting tired of writing and consumption AND consumption and writing but I hope that my comments on the products are useful for dry skinners.

My mom used to use tonic in order to make the skin cleaner and tighter. I remember whenever we used it, the cotton pad would be full of dirt from the pollution. This was almost 20 years ago and I cannot imagine the pollution now... I like the toners honestly. Just that I need to find something that does not dry the skin. I think that the clarifying lotion of Clarins is quite successful as it does not irritate the skin. It is gentle on the skin and it cleans the skin. I am not sure if my pores are tighter but I have to be honest that my skin was a bit dry the next day. I still can give eight to this product as it did not cause any disturbance on my skin. And my skin felt refreshed after the use. I would still not say, I want to have this product for sure! Maybe something milder would be better.

Dear Readers, This time I tried the cleanser of Clinique Mild liquid facial soap.   I used a similar product for almost two years: the extra mild version and I was quite happy with that one. In general, it is a very mild soap and it does not make even bubbles like normal soap. I have to say that I like the extra mild version and still, I felt that this normal (non-mild one) was maybe not too mild for my dry skin. So I give it eight over ten. Finally, I suggest it to those who have combination and lesser dry skin... Just have to say that since I have Clarins shea butter cleanser , I do not use any other product anymore... That can be a personal choice of course...

I have used this mascara today! Clinique high impact mascara, colour black : not so happy with it! Clinique high impact black mascara It made my eyelashes stick to each other, it was too wet, and I could not give a good shape although I tried the zig-zag movement. The only thing I liked about it was that it was not disturbing the eyes at all, not itching, not causing trouble... long duration, it does not dry and does not fall below your eyes. So I give six and a half to this product. Maybe also because the brush of it was smaller than the real mascara (since it is in the pack of the advent calendar, it was harder to give shape). 

One product that I am very happy with from Clinique is this one: Deep comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream.  I think that it really hydrates the hands and softens the cuticles. It does not smell heavy, it is not very oily, it is absorbed really nicely by the skin... Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream I give ten over ten to this product! And suggest it! In addition to this product, I also want to talk about another cuticle cream that my sister introduced to me, it is a bit of a luxury one... It is not for the hands but solely for the cuticles: Dior cuticle cream , it is really good for your cuticles, it softens and take cares of your nails. It smells like apricots, it has a very oily but non-disturbing texture. I really enjoyed using both of them, they are for sure not very economic but if you do not do manicure or pedicure and do not want to pay for it, these products can take care of your hands at home. And that is also fine!

I have not much to say about this product , it is quite a good one but eye creams show their effect when they are used consistently. I have used it for two days and I think it reduces wrinkles but I am not so sure about the puffs. I guess a good sleep is better than anything if we think about it. All about eyes cream of Clinique I think that I will review it after constant usage... For now, I cannot give points to this product but if I really have to give, it would be eight over ten. Well, time will show!

To be honest, this was not a product that I had not tried before, I used in the past 74-hour hydrating cream of Clinique.  I agree that it hydrates for long hours, it does not have a smell that bothers you nor pleases you; then it is jell like... so the texture is very soft on the skin. I am not sure if it closes the pores if it tightens the pores ore not. But I have to say that it is a successful product. I still give 7 over 10. Because if you had read before my writing on the long history of hydrating creams , you can understand why I like some other creams more than Clinique moisture surge. Especially if you have dry skin, you might want to go back to this post as well: more hydration is needed. I still think this cream is good before you go on journeys and you feel that you need to be hydrated. Not bad, not super, it is kind of okay. I am sorry that I cannot promote it more than I should!

I have never understood why we use scrubs! For God's sake, what do we want from our skin? What is it that we cannot clean from our face? Is it related to thousands of years of guilt we cannot scrub off and rinse off? The jokes aside, I tried Clinique 7 day scrub cream , it was good, gentle on the skin, nice cleanser, it is definitely not harsh on the skin and it is even not letting the skin dry. Of course, I need to indicate here that I use a moisturiser after every treatment I apply on my face. So I would not understand even if it dried my skin, yet, I need to mention that I would definitely have understood if it had made my skin tense... With this crem scrub, no such thing occured. The smell is natural. I like that it does not seem like it has plastic micro balls inside... so yes I give nine over ten. Cause I am not a big fan of scrubs... So far so good Clinique, good job. I like professionalism of Clinique... only if they could be vegan and cruelty-free, THEN I WOULD

This time I had to try these two products together. The reason for that is that one is a blush and the other is a brush. Yess so I admit that I had to open one of the boxes one day before... not had to, chose to do so; because I was curious. Luckily, it turned out to be compatible products. The blush of clinique is named Precious Posy  and I applied it with the brush that came out of the box of the 7th of December, which is smaller than this one: Powder Brush of Clinique . The brush is elegant, with the transparent handle (I do not know the exact word, forgive my ignorance). I cannot say it is super soft, I can say it is agreeably soft. Learning to be diplomatic for God's sake.  Well, the application of the blush is really easy, the brush was kind of tough on my cheek but I have sensitive skin so I could feel it a bit harsh on it. However, the brush was the right one to apply the powder/blush with; it really works well for diffusing on your cheek. And the blush i

I have tried this one, Clinique Smart night , and was happy with it. It hydrates for the whole night and even in the morning, your skin is quite hydrated. Although it is a night cream, tried it also for the morning, I think that it is really good for dry skin. It kept my skin hydrated for the whole day as well. Did not use makeup on it though. You can take just a little bit from the cream and the amount is more than enough for whole your face! It has a dense texture. The only thing I do not like about Clinique products is that they smell like they are from the laboratory... in the sense that they smell too much like cosmetics. Basically, they do not smell like flowers, or natural herbs, or some kind of perfume. It is good, as it means they do not have so much perfume inside, which can have side effects for dry skin, but it is weird when they smell kind of, you know, like too much of a clinical product... Apart from that, all okay! Still, I give this product nine over ten. An

I was very much surprised by how functional and good this cleanser was. So it is Clinique take the day off make up remover...  This cleanser performed much better than I expected. First of all, it has taken all the makeup off. I had to try twice with a cotton pad but still, it was soft on the skin.  Second, it does not dry the skin.  Third, it leaves the skin hydrated and maybe even you do not need to use a toner.  Fourth, it is very gentle on the skin, it does not cause any rash or any kind of side effect.  I am amazed by it. I again give ten over ten to this product. Clinique Take the day off makeup remover passed the test for dry skinners, for sensitive eyes and tedious evaluators of products. Suggest it! ps. after I used this cleanser, I took shower and then my skin was extremely dry, but I do not know what happened in between, maybe the shampoo or the water or the temperature of the water was not good enough, could not be sure. So I will try this product once

So on the second day of the Clinique advent calendar, I opened the Pep-start eye cream.  It is a small tube but it has plenty. The smell is nice, it looks like a jell will come out of it but it is a creamy cream. I like it! I used it before I go to bed yesterday night, to be sure if it is good or not. It does not create miracles, to be honest. But it hydrates and also kind of stretches your skin, you can feel it when you put on this cream on your eye area... Liked the smell of it, too, light smell. To this product, I give ten over ten. And I am sure that if you have wrinkles around your eyes, you might want to give Pep-start eye cream a try... For now, I cannot say much, tomorrow I will use it again and will inform you more. It is better to give information after repeated usage. Wish you a nice night if you are on the side of Europe, nice morning if you are on the other side of the world! In each case, stay positive, stay cool, stay calm and balanced!

As promised the first day of the advent calendar, I tried Clinique Pep-start . I also made my husband try it. And then got his opinion on it... In the end, it cleans the skin without any kind of feeling of dryness. But it made my skin a bit red despite the fact that I did not use it in a harsh manner. I think that it is a good product, BUT NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. It is quite natural, it smells natural, not much perfume in it. At the same time, I could not find anything so special about it. So the first product takes five over ten! Sensitive skinners, maybe something else could be better for your skin. ps. after having used this product repeatedly I changed my mind and I give seven and a half over ten to this product. Cause I have noticed that it cleans the skin without drying it and it is really a good start for the day ahead of you. So yes, the first impression was not the last impression this time...
