Clinique Even Better Moisturizer SPF 20

Lianne Farbes — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:05:53 +0000

How would you like to erase past damage? We all would right?? Clinique’s latest, Even Better Skin Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 can help you do just that. This wonder cream helps to create a more even skin tone while protecting skin from future darkening with high-level UVA/UVB defense. It delivers soothing hydration as specialized ingredients break apart surface darkening and exfoliate it away. Instantly brightens, clarifies….who doesn’t want that?

Clinique uses a multi-targeted formula that handles the multiple causes of discoloration.

Prevents and reduces appearance if excess pigment in skin
Deters the surfacing of new spots
Breaks up and scatters existing dark spots into less visible particles at the skin’s surface leaving you more even toned
Assists in removing melanin “dust” through exfoliation
Broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 20 to keep your skin protected

In regular “non-dermatologist” speak that just means that it helps to get rid of those dark uneven patches in every way possible. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and the darker areas around my mouth have lightened up noticeably….worth every penny if you have that issue. Especially since laser re-surfacing treatments are SO expensive….a brightening prodict is the way to go.

Clinique Even Better Skin Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 will be available beginning October 1, 2009 at major department store retailers and Clinique.com.

Clinique’s Super Defense Face Cream SPF 25

Lianne Farbes — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:40:23 +0000

I just got through testing Clinique’s Super Defense SPF 25 and boy do I love it, this is perfect for dry/extra dry skin. This “Super Cream” is an ultra rich formulation that contains SPF 25 which is amazing because it is so hard to find a sunscreen that can go under makeup effectively (without feeling thick etc). That being said, this cream is specifically for very dry, dry or combination dry skin. It is chocked full of anti-aging benefits like:

glycerin
olea europaea (olive) fruit extract
rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extract
sea whip extract
linoleic acid
soy protein

Overall an excellent cream if you are looking for something with the added benefit of SPF 25 that helps to neutralize UVA and UVB rays.

Available for $48 at Clinique counters nationwide.

Smart Beauty Buys For Anti-Aging

Beth Bender — Sun, 17 May 2009 01:35:57 +0000

Thanks to the many skin care products available you can choose from a variety that are affordable and very effective. Most of us are religious about wearing a moisturizer and SPF during the day, but at the end of the evening when we are exhausted from the day, we just want to get into bed and sleep. I know, because I want to do the same thing, but no matter how well you protect your skin during the day, sun, stress and pollution can bring daily damage, and some that you may not even see.

Taking a few minutes before bed to wash your face and apply a night moisturizer, can make the difference between skin that has an extra layer of protection, and skin that is vulnerable to all of the toxins flying around in the air everyday. Clinique’s potent Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer works overnight to deliver a unique complex of eight rapid and delayed-release antioxidants that defuse this free-radical activity, and help to keep the skin strong and prevent visible signs of aging.

Clinique's Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer

A tube will cost you $42.50, but compared to many other skin care lines, this is one beauty bargain to check out. If you do buy it, please take the time at night to use it. I am such a big advocate for skin care, and it is just as important to give your face the same attention at night, that you do in the morning.

Get Gorgeous Lashes Now

Beth Bender — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:45:27 +0000

I have been using the same mascara for evah! Call me a creature of habit but that’s just how I am, so when I heard about this newest mascara from Clinique of course I was more than a little curious to see if it really was that good. Thanks to the wild, wild web you can find reviews about almost anything, and even though some of the reviews weren’t so nice, I still needed to see for myself.

I am using Latisse on my lashes and figured now would be a great time to put High Impact to the eyelash test. So off I went to the Clinique counter at Macy’s where I picked up a tube. I couldn’t wait till I got home and instead ripped open the packaging and swiped on a few coats in the car. My lashes looked good and the length was false eyelash long. The color didn’t smudge and even after a full day of working they still looked just as good.

So there you have it, and at $14 dollars a tube compared to some in the high $20’s and yes ladies, $40’s, I have just added a new favorite to my list.

Happy Thoughts PDA Set From Clinique

Beth Bender — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 08:47:50 +0000

Clinique, along with all of the other beauty companies that fall under the very big Estee Lauder umbrella are seasoned pro’s when it comes to gift sets. The latest from Clinique is probably one of my favorites so far.

The Happy Thoughts PDA Set is a limited-edition, online exclusive. It is presented in the most oh-so fabulous sleek, silvery PDA case that is just screaming, “yes, I am fabulous, yes, I love my blackberry and yes, I can have my cake and eat it too!”

Each set includes a Clinique Happy perfume Spray, Clinique Happy Rollerball Mini, and a Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss Mini in Rootbeer, (love these). Most definitely a very chic and very happy way to go glam all-the-way!

It makes a great gift at $35, and if anyone from my family, or beauty posse is reading this, my stocking still needs a little more stuffing:)

Available at Clinique.com

Happy shopping!

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector.

Teri Cosenzi — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:29:11 +0000

Sometimes I wish I could just wave a magic wand and correct all of my past damage. My age spots and discolorations are becoming more apparent everyday. Ugh. There is a new weapon in our line of defenses. Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector.

Using the latest skin brightening technology to help diminish the appearance of dark spots and help prevent new discolorations from appearing, this just might be the answer I am looking for. Or at least a start.

This is a very lightweight serum, formulated to be suitable for all skin types and tones. It glides on skin and creates a smooth veil that instantly makes skin appear more smooth, bright, and radiant. Clinique says that within 4 to 6 weeks, this serum measurably and visibly corrects, clarifies and evens, and over even more time, it helps prevent new darkening.

How does this work? Potent antioxidants are the first weapon of defense in the formula as it helps the formation of new dark spots to form. With a unique yeast extract derived from mushrooms, combined with black-out yeast, it helps to break up the appearance of existing dark spots and scatters them into less visible particles. Lastly, a special blend of exfoliating ingredients gently and effectively removes these scattered particles from the skin’s surface, thus improving the overall evenness of the skin tone.

Will this be a magic wand? I cannot wait to find out.

Even Better Skin Tone Corrector is available now at your favorite Clinique counter or online at clinique.com for $39.50.
