Clinique in general

Founded in 1968, Clinique is actually a part of the Estée Lauder family, so it's not surprising if you mentally group the two together. If nothing else, they're both very expensive! Clinique claims to cater for people like me, who have tons of allergies and/or sensitive skin. Being the world's biggest sceptic, I have merrily crushed the spirits of practitioners peddling alternative therapies, so when one of my doctors recommended I try Clinique or Estée Lauder products, you have to realise my first thought was to wonder if they were giving him commission. My skin is very honest though - if it doesn't like something, it turns ugly. If it likes something, it ...  Read the complete review

~~Background~~ Clinique was launched in 1968 and is an Estee Lauder company. When it first appeared it was unique in provided dermatologically tested skin care products. Now the company has over 40 years of experience and knowledge of producing high quality products for individual skin types. The products are all allergy tested, fragrance free and are suitable for sensitive skin. When testing a new product a large focus group is used and if only one person has any sort of reaction then the product is taken back to be reformulated. Clinique provides treatments for the skin which are individually tailored to each ...  Read the complete review

As only part of my Christmas present Dave bought me a gift set of my favourite perfume, namely Aromatics Elixir by Clinique. I have had the perfume on a couple of occasions but have never received any of the matching toiletries before. Dave, take a gold star for your gift purchases for Christmas 2001. The set in question cost just over £40, I know because I had been drooling over them in Debenhams! The set came in beautiful gold box with just the word Clinique written in capitals across it. It was simple but classy, as this product richly deserves. Inside the box were a 2.5 fluid ounce container of body smoother, a 1.5 fluid ounce bottle of ...  Read the complete review

The skin is the largest organ of the body and as protective cover, it is exposed to the environment, making it vulnerable to growths, rashes, discolorations, cysts, burns, injuries, infections, and other disorders. I am a person who has a very bad case of UV-A and UV-B allergy. To worsen this condition, I cannot tolerate just any kind of product I rub on my body or face, largely because of the ingredients used in them. Double trouble! I first started using Clinique as a teenager. With all the goo you put on your face at that age, and mix in your average acne problem, it is no wonder your skin starts rebelling on you. So I turned to the very first beauty advisor ...  Read the complete review

Foundation is, according to me, the most important part of your make- up. If you don?t get it right you can end up looking stupid. I mean how many times have you seen a woman with completely the wrong shade foundation on? You have to pity them because it can look bad! I swear my foundation and wear it everyday because it makes me feel more confident and self-assured. I used to use Body Shop foundation but found it to be too oily. I always wanted to go up to the make-up counters in the big stores and ask one of the women to advise something but I have to say these women are the harshest women to approach. They can be very intimidating and rude so I thought to forget ...  Read the complete review
