It started a few weeks ago, when I went to the Clinique counter to buy my breast cancer awareness lip glosses and was rewarded with a gift with purchase: an apple-printed cosmetics bag filled with free lipstick, mascara, eye shadows, blush, and skincare products. I’m a sucker for free gifts, and those glosses were perfectly pink, moisturizing, and glossy. They have replaced all others in my purse.
Then, when my face turned scaly when I was plagued by the flu, it was Clinique Dramatically Different Moisture Lotion that soothed and repaired the damage.
The deal was officially sealed this past week, however, when I tried the tiny tube of Lash Doubling Mascara that came in my gift with purchase.
I have a brand crush on Clinique.
The glosses and moisturizer are great, but the mascara is PERFECT. It doesn’t clump, it doesn’t flake off onto my face, and it doesn’t irritate my extra sensitive eyes at all. I’ve been using it for about a week, and I’m loving the natural-but-better effect it is giving me.
My crush is sure to be continued once I open my mail today – I’m expecting a package from Sephora, containing, among other things, a jar of Clinique’s Even Better moisturizer, which is supposed to help even out skin tone. Plus Sephora offered a gift with purchase as well, so I’ll also be getting a Clinique cream blush.
Stay tuned for product reviews.
I’m sure I’ll love ’em.
FOR THE LOVE OF GLOSS 
I’ve been a fan of Clinique’s Naturally Glossy Mascara since my sister and I fought over the only tube of it in the freebies our grandmother gave us one Christmas. It’s a great “everyday” mascara–not the vampy volume you want for a night out on the town, but perfect to put on in the morning. Great minds think alike!
Maybe the Even Better moisturizer is the answer to my prayers! You must tell me how it works out!
