Clinique - is it worth it?

Hermia

I think some of it is worth it and some isn't. I love the 7 day scrub cream and the lipsticks/glosses. The three step system really, REALLY upsets my skin and that yellow moisturiser is no better than 'drugstore' brands in my opinion. It was recommended to me because I have dry skin, but I don't find it any better than the likes of Nivea. I quite like the mascaras, but I find the eyeshadow pretty blah. You can definitely get better eyeshadows cheaper in Boots/Superdrug.

I got better results with Clarins than with Clinique and also liked Nivea Visage but the French version and English version are quite different ! We're all individuals though.

In theory the cheap creams should work reasonably well. After all the expensive ones spend billions on marketing which bumps up the cost.

Things like diet and water intake affect your skin too though. People who stuff cakes and drink fizzy drinks will get rubbish skin eventually.

I love their foundation, mascara and lipsticks. My husband goes to America for work a couple of times a year so I get him to stock up on mascara as it's so much cheaper over there!!

For lipsticks, I get them on ebay......lots of sellers have the green packaged ones that come with the freebie packs they do from time to time......a while back, I figured that if it's exactly the same, but not in the posh packaging, it would be worth the saving, as let's face it, most people won't see you putting your lipstick on so no-one needs to know!
