Clinique Superbalm Lip Treatment

The best: forget the rest

Clinique does it again. I have very dry and chapped lips and any kind of lipstick, no matter how moisturizing, ends up feeling tight. I have started using this at night as a treatment, and during the day I dab a tiny bit over my lipstick. It gives a nice shine, but unlike a traditional lip gloss, it does not cause my lipstick to come off on my teeth. Buy two tubes, for $15 apiece, it's worth it!

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Color

Gorgeous satiny finish

I love the very idea of wearing a Chanel lipstick, and this is a glorious lipstick: smooth, creamy, lovely colour - but the pricetag is outrageous, and every colour can be found for less than half the price in Revlon. I bought Clandestine, a shade which is the exact equal of Revlon's 641, Spicy Cinammon.

Clinique Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 40

Fantastic, amazing, outperforms every other SPF foundation

I bought this product because I sit next to a window, so I get a lot of exposure to UVA/UVB throughout the day. I have excessively oily skin. This product glides on smoothly, leaves a beautiful finish, and calms my shine throughout the day. I don't have to touch up at lunchtime. PLUS - with this, no need for a primer or moisturizer underneath. Now what am I going to do with all my other foundations? I've found the only one I ever want to use.
