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). 

11th of December 2019: Hands and cuticles, they need attention, too!

Image
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!

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

6th and 7th of December 2019: In anticipation with blush and brush of Clinique

Image
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

5th of December: Clinique Smart Night

Image
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
