Clinique Superbalm Lip Treatment

I bought this as a result of a Clinique offer where if you spend over £30 you get a free gift set. I'd actually gone out to buy the dramatically different moisturiser but ended up buying this as well to make it over £30. It was £8.50 for 7ml from Debenhams and I thought it seemed like a good idea for the winter. *Packaging* It comes in a really cute little bottle that is like a mini version of the other Clinique products. It is the usual mint green colour which I'm not a massive fan of but it does look simple and clean, like the products. It has a big silver C and 'Clinique' written at the top then 'superbalm lip treatment' written in dark green ...  Read the complete review

Despite my fairly huge make-up collection, I've never been a big fan of lipstick. However, I do have a bit of a problem when it comes to lip gloss- it always looks so sheer, pretty and girly, I'm rarely seen out of bed without a good coating of gloss. But the problem with gloss is that if you wear it all the time, it can dry out your lips giving you a rather unattractive flaky look. Clinique's Superbalm tinted lip treatment is the perfect solution for whenever my lips start to dry out- it's a lip balm combined with gloss, meaning that you can condition your lips while looking fantastic! The balm comes in three shades: mango tint (which is the one I bought), a ...  Read the complete review

I admit I have been lazy lately using foundations that you buy from the supermarket. No problem I thought and to be fair they did cover up the blemishes and ravages of less sleep than usual (a new son !). But while in town last week I saw that Clinique had a Bonus Time again. Let me explain - every now and again Clinique has a promotion called Bonus Time. This is where you get a collection of goodies free (well if you purchase two or more items!). So needing some more Clarifying Lotion, I decided to purchase some foundation so that I could qualify for the Bonus Time. Now I have combination skin which is fairly sensitive and the beauty assistant ...  Read the complete review

I've used this lip treatment from Clinique for years, and I find it's the only lip balm that actually works whilst not bringing me out in a horrible spotty rash around my lips! It's a tiny little 7ml tube which costs £9, which is expensive but when you can't use anything else without breaking out in a rash what'll you do? Anyway it's a little green tube with a slanted applicator with a hole in the middle, you just squeeze a little out of the tube and rub the applicator over your lips, or you could use a finger instead. It's a very sticky slimy gel like consistency which in all honesty I really don't like the feel of at all, and it also has a very ...  Read the complete review

Others have written about foundations and normally I don't use foundation, don't like it but a friend who used it who doesn't use foundation normally converted me to it. My friend was given a sample of Superbalanced and adores it, she has olive skin and it looks like she wears no make-up - ie foundation, so it must be good stuff. Anyway, went to my local Clinique counter, got my shade and tried it, it covers blemishes well, is moisturising and yes, you can't tell I have a foundation on. 17.00 GBP is the price which I think is fair, so far mine has lasted over 2 months. I'm not overly keen on the glass bottle either but then again I've used foundations in ...  Read the complete review
