Belk was having their Clinique GWP and I bought a couple of products I had been using and like from the line. They also were having a makeup artist come in on various days during the GWP event, so I had a makeover. In the GWP was a sample of Clarifying Lotion #2 and I began to use it. I used Clinique when I was younger and had acne and it worked well for me. I stopped using it once my skin was no longer as oily and breakout prone.

I really liked the new Clarifying Lotion formula as it was not as harsh as it was when I was younger. It actually was moisturizing and left my skin very clean. When I had the makeover, the artist used the #3 Clarifying lotion as I'm more oily in the summer.

I also had a sample of the Foaming Cleanser and began using that well. I also bought the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and love it. I'm now using the 3 step system and really like how it makes my skin feel. If this keeps working well for me, I'll keep using this system as it's much less expensive than some other lines I've tried. I love the DDMG because it moisturizes my skin without leaving it oily. I can use this under makeup and it doesn't make me oily.

I was also given a sample of their new Stay Matte liquid foundation and love it. This is one of only 2 liquid foundation out of all that I tried that looks good on my skin. Giorgio Armani's Lasting silk foundation looks really good too, but it's more than double the price of the Clinique. I'll most likely be buying a full size of this once my sample runs out.

Anyone else using Clinique skincare and makeup? What are your favorite products?

Has anyone else used Clinique in the past and gone back to using it?
