One day before Christmas, 23rd day: Another lipstick from Clinique

Image
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. 

20th of December 2019: Clinique Smart Custom Repair Serum

Image
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

17th of December: Moisture Surge Serum

Image
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

16th of December: Black Honey of Clinique

Image
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!

12th of December: Mascara of Clinique

Image
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). 

9th of December 2019: Moisture Surge 72 hour cream

Image
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!

8th of December: Face Scrub, 7 day scrub cream of Clinique

Image
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

4th of December 2019: This time there is the cleanser, take the day off!

Image
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

3rd of December: Quick liner Ebony (this one I love a lot!)

Image
Normally I do not use eye pencils but Clinique quick liner ebony is really a good one and it is also easy to apply. On the third day of Clinique, I can easily tell you that this has been my favourite in the last three days. The pencil does not bother the eye, it is soft, it is black and super elegant... For some reason my mom did not like the eye pencils, she thought that there was no need to do that to the eyes, as you have lipstick and mascara and so on... but sometimes it looks like a defining line around the eyes and it can even look like your eyes are deeper, with a frame. Think of a painting with a good (non-exaggerated) frame for instance. The only thing I did not notice was this, it swivels up so once it swivels up, you need to be careful about it... It is written on the pencil: it swivels up not down... since I do not read everything on the pencil I could not know about that... but this one is highly suggested, I give ten over ten! Happy third advent calendar day!

24 Days of Clinique

Image
In December, I will be opening one box from the Adventskalender of Clinique ...  To be honest, I wanted to buy the one from Kiehl's... but it was finished already in all the shops in Italy. So I got this one from Clinique (please see below). I also like Clinique a lot, used the hydration surge cream before. Used also the all about eyes roll-on serum . Love the lipstick with a fuchsia colour, I think it is called chubby stick intense . Then for the sensitive skin, it has a cleanser that is really great: Clinique facial soap for sensitive skin . So happy with that one, too. So we will see at the end of 2019, how this thing with the advent calendar will work. This is the photo from www.zalando.it Every day from 1st of December till 24th of December, I will share with you a photo, make a review and tell the pros and cons of the product, and give you a lot of information on these little samples coming from the calendar. Looking forward to it! Hope you will enjoy my reviews, too!
