Clinique

You all know that I'm a Clinique girl. My sister is a consultant and so that's what I use. Actually, I think I started using the makeup before she started selling it, but she used it first. She was the one that pushed the skin care stuff though. I didn't listen until I started seeing wrinkles. Not cool. So now I spend a good amount of time each day cleansing and putting on various lotions and potions, and if I feel like it or if I'm awake in time I put on my Clinique makeup.

But I have to tell you this. A friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) has turned me on to Bare Minerals foundation. I tried it out yesterday, and it's much much easier than what I have to do. You put on this one powder, then another powder, and you're done. As opposed to concealer, foundation (that I never get on evenly), and powder (that always looks orange). And it looks better too. I actually stopped by the Clinique counter yesterday after I got my hair cut and one of the ladies there complimented me on my skin and asked what I was doing differently!

I have also been trying out different mascaras, not because I dislike Clinique mascara, but because I'm allergic to it. I kind of like what I have on now, but I'm not sure. I'll have to wait and see how red and burny my eyes get today. I also got a new eyebrow pencil, and I love it! I forget what brand it is. But it looks much more natural. Sorry Clinique. I'm using up my old pencil first, and then I'll make the switch.

To top all that off, Carol gave me a random eye shadow quad from Este Lauder she got as a bonus gift and I tried it today. I really like it. But their eyelid thing that replaces Clinique Touchbase isn't so great. I don't like it. So there's a point for you Clinique!

But do go with their skin care line, I swear by it. Until I am introduced to a new product line. But my wrinkles haven't gotten worse and my freckles are lightening up, so I'm a fan. I will continue to extoll the virtues of them. I'm sorry about the other makeup. I'll still get my face done by my sister whenever I come home and will probably continue to buy stuff I don't need :) It's an illness.
