New Clinique Purchases

When it comes to skin care I really think you’re getting what you pay for. Once upon a time I used to buy a £2 cleanser and moisturiser and expect it to work miracles on my skin, of course it never did. It was only when I discovered Origins Never A Dull Moment Cleanser that I realised if you invest in good skin care, it can work wonders. A brand that I’ve loved for ages is Clinique, but I’ve always stuck to the same products, and not really tried anything else. For my birthday I got a few Boots vouchers so I decided to treat myself to a few new skincare products from Clinique.


I needed a new daily moisturiser, because I discovered my current one was running out and didn’t contain a SPF. As I have combination skin the sales assistant reccomended I tried out the Superdefense Daily Defense Moisturiser SPF 20. It’s meant to be great for hydration, and contains UVA/UVB protection, but also works as a light moisturiser. It’s also apparently great for anti-aging, which although isn’t one of my main skin concerns, is to good to start doing. I also picked out a new eye cream, and settled on Clinique’s All About Eyes. All About Eyes is a lightweight eye cream that helps the appearance of puffiness, darkness and fine lines – which is perfect for me, as I always make up with horrible puffy eyes. The cream gel formula is also apparently great at keeping eye makeup in place, so that’s a plus in my books too.

I’m excited to try these out, and I hope they impress me as well as the previous Clinique products I’ve used in the past. Hopefully they’ll work their way into being firm favourites in my skin care collection.

    Technically as it’s the end of August, it’s not really summer anymore. I say technically because I’ve still got a wardrobe of summer clothes I haven’t touched this year, and I’m pretty sure there’s only been about 4 days where it’s been hot. Regardless of it not being that warm, I’ve still been wearing a…

    Getting Back On Track

    Lately I’ve got into a bad habit of eating too much rubbish, not doing an exercise, and basically being far too over-indulgent. Christmas is a big part to blame in it, and during the lead up I had a lot of Christmas parties I went to, where I made a lot of bad food choices. I went back to…
