Clinique Super balanced Foundation.

So i have been using this for just over a year now and i love it !!  I first came across this foundation in my mums make-up bag and used to steal it when she wasn't looking ! However after getting a job i decided to buy my own. it retails at £21 and lasts months so for value in money i wouldn't say that bad.

The first impression was 'wow'. It has great coverage and doesn't feel oily on the skin, yet allows for multiple layers (on the chin and under the eyes in my case). It has a bit of 'glow' on the pore areas- the inner cheeks, chin and forehead- which tends to fade off as soon as the foundation has dried . It doesn't look oily at all and leaves my skin oil free and covered all day !!


I would definitely recommend these if you have combination skin and like a natural finish to your foundation. You can always get a sample to try before you buy and see what you think! Or go to a Clinique counter they are great at customer service and you don't feel pressured to buy at all !!


I have the cream chaos one but also nude ! and both match perfectly !!!

Overall 9/10

Clinique haul

So a few weeks ago my boyfriend and I went to the Trafford Centre and I managed to stock up on my Clinique addiction and they had a freebie gift on if you bought any 2 Clinique products,  1 being Skin care you received the spring gift bag.

So what did I get.....

Clinique super balanced make up in Cream Chaos. - Clinique's great equaliser for combination skin. Provides moisture and absorbs oil where needed. Minimises appearance of fine lines. Helps protect skin from environmental damage. Apply to face and throat with fingers. Can be worn in the immediate eye area. For seamless look, dampen ends of fingers and blend into hair and jawline. FULL REVIEW COMING SOON !!

Clarifying lotion  - Sweeps away dead surface skin cells on very oily skin. Skin appears smoother, softer, with more light-reflecting qualities. Allows more effective moisturisation. Makeup goes on more smoothly and stays on longer. Provides a cool, refreshing feeling. Use twice a day after Clinique's Facial Soap. Dampen cotton ball, sweep in one direction over face and throat, avoiding eye and lip area. I cannot praise this product enough i use it twice daily and it really helps keep my skin clear !!

My Freebie,  dramatically different moisturiser , rinse of cleanse,  all about eyes, Black High-Impact Mascara, Moisture surge and 4 lipstick swatches.

Manchester Shopping :)

So today my dad and i went to Manchester arndale to buy my mums Christmas present and although i bought nothing :( my dad successfully bought my mum ANOTHERRRRR mulberry bag i think that's number 5 now :S anyway i thought i'd show you what i wore and my make-up for the day :)

The jumer is from ebay wooo but originally topshop i paid £10 new on ebay and topshop was £35 so it pays to look around for baragins guys !!

I used the same makeup as mentioned in my previous post however for the lips i used a chubby stick ! a what i hear you ask well a chubby stick is a ew type of lipstick/gloss from clinique its only £15 and is amazing, it lasts allllllll day i didnt need to re aply it at all and its full of moisture to keep your lips from being fry in the winter...

It literally looks like a crayon you would use to colour in and it winds up and down so your stick stays safe, so no more broken or melted lipsticks ! The chubby stick from clinique is so far one of the best products ive used and the colour isnt too in your face so can be used day or night :)
They don't disappoint either. Chubby Sticks pack plenty of moisture and pigment . These aren't sheer balms . They are not deep either but have more pigment than most tinted balms .

The finish has some shine but is really a satin finish. No shimmer. They are like a balm/lipstick almost but with a very light feeling on the lips. The moisture comes from shea butter, mango seed butter , jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil and olive oil . They apply like a dream since you're outlining with a pencil.

Highlight- They twist up when you need more product . When I first saw images months ago I thought they would need an incovenient sharperner. Not so, just twist the bottom and the stick comes up.

PS- In a pinch, these could be used as cheek tint.

All shades are :

Chunky Cherry
Fuller Fig
Graped-Up
Mega Melon
Richer RaisinSuper Strawberry
Whole Lotta Honey
Woppin' Watermelon

The one i used was Chunky cherry :)
