14th of December: Tonic of Clinique

Image
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.

10th of December: Is it all about eyes?

Image
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!

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

Bobby Brown: The super transparent powder

As promised I tried today Bobby Brown  finishing powder. I will be very brief. 1) It is quite transparent with some light 2) Could not see it well on my face, perfect transparency 3) It did not dry my skin... So I would say in this case I suggest it, a good one, good consistency. Unfortunately Bobby Brown is not cruelty-free... Neither Shiseido... But Bellàpiere is, so it is your choice at the end of the day, but just keep in mind that those brands that sell in China do not have to obey the laws it seems, and it is very common that most of the products sell there. For now, that is it... since our best 24 days with Clinique will start soon. I have also learnt that Clinique is not cruelty-free either, however, now that it is purchased, will try the products and inform you on how they are good or bad or neutral on the dry and sensitive skin. Have a good Sunday!

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!

You are nothing but all scrubs to me!

Having dry skins searched for the right scrub for a long long time. I found one but I am not sure if they are producing it anymore. It was called  Maison Bio  exfoliant... It is really a good one, it is delicate on the skin, does not scratch at all. Suggest it if you can find it! Then I found  Lancome's scrub , the colour pink, the smell of roses, really looking like a good one. But my hubby used it more than I did, as I thought it was not so right for the delicate skins, dry skins, in other words. Cause it has these particles that are like rose petals but it is very dry, and it is felt on the skin when I do a bit of scrub. So maybe for someone with oily skin, it might be okay, for dry and sensitive skin, no! Then there was this  Loreal Sugar scrub  with cacao and sugar... I like it as it does not harm the skin, but it leaves my skin oily, not the kind of oil I like though... it is very temporary and it feels a bit weird... Need to admit that it is good. However, I f
