If you have cracked feet, ashy elbows, uneven skintone, or just overall dry skin, this Clinique cream will leave your body feeling silky smooth. I use it at night on my feet and legs, then wear white cotton socks to bed. I’ve noticed a significant change in the texture and appearance of my skin. Plus this cream just feels good when you are slathering it on.

Right now is a great time to buy anything from Clinique at Nordstom. With your $25 Clinique purchase, you get an exclusive Trina Turk cosmetics bag with fabulous beauty products inside.

This is a grainy scrub that isn’t too harsh, but also not too greasy or oily either. It comes in a jar, so you don’t have to worry about squeezing out the last bit from a tube. Best of all, it’s really effective. Soothing and softening dry, rough skin, this exfoliating cream leaves your skin feeling silky. It has a cooling, minty quality about it that gives you a refreshing boost.

If you use it right before shaving your legs, you’ll get an ultra-close shave that is unmatched. Wet your skin before applying. It’s great for heels, knees, elbows and anywhere else (outside of face, neck and sensitive areas).

I recommend using it at least three a week to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate dull, dry skin. It’s priced at $20 for an 8.5 oz jar at Clinique.com, Nordstrom.com and your neighborhood Clinique counter.

Nordstrom Beauty Exclusive Picks

Laura Mercier Satinee Creme Eye Colour – $22
This long-wearing formula is water-resistant and crease-proof. The only thing that I don’t like about this product is the application isn’t easy. You have to dispense it into your hand (or another container) and then apply it with a brush. The color is very nice though — soft, pearly and long-lasting.

Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Eye Shadow – $15
Ultra-convenient, this wand is perfect for on-the-go makeup. I have used this Clinique product on and off for years. It glides on smooth and lasts all day. Be careful not to get it on your eyelashes during application, or you’ll have to start all over again. I love the pink for summertime and at $15, it’s a fabulous buy.

Do you use any eye shadow other than powder? Leave your comments here and let us know which ones work the best for you. Some cream eye shadows tend to fade and crease easily. So try to use a primer before application.
