I have used this for +15 years!

I love this powder. LOVE IT. I actually own a silver compact called a "Forever Compact" that was refillable. Unfortunately Clinique no longer makes the refills or the compact. Anyhoo...

This powder offers light coverage with great shine control and oil absorption. The fragrance free formula is non-irritating and works on bare skin or foundation touch-up.

The mirrored compact comes with applicator, which you have to keep clean, especially if you are oily, or your oil transfer will cause those dark oil veins in the powder. I use MAC brush cleaner and clean the applicator every Sunday, when I clean the rest of my brushes. I will rebuy, no doubt!

Super pricey but worth it!

They are super expensive but they keep the ingrowns at bay - a MUST have for anyone that waxes, epilates or just sufferers from extremely dry skin!

I use 1 pad per leg and once a week I rotate the stack of pads by flipping them over so everything stays super moist. Waiting 2 days after I wax/epilate I apply the pre-moistened pad in a circular motion working from my ankle upward. I choose this direction because most of my ingrowns were happening on my calf hence I wanted the most solution applied to that area! I also flip the pad over when I go from calf to thigh.

The pads are textured so I want the best 'scrubbing' that I can have. This will loosen and sweep away dry skin as it applies the product. Each pad is just over 2" in diameter and twice as thick as a clearasil pad. They're tough! They'll hold up to your prickliest skin!! haha!

4.5 out of 5 stars! I will buy these again, even though they are very pricey because I have yet to find a less expense alternative that work on the same level.

Nope

I tried so hard to like this. I wanted to like this. I just didn't. I was even excited it came with a sponge and I wouldn't have to use my fingers! I'm not exactly sure what it does - I just felt like I was applying layer after layer of foundation primer. lol. Perhaps, because I don't have rough textured skin, it idn't seem as thought it 'worked'. Yet, I have large pore and I didn't see a different in their concealment / size after use.

The sponge and me, weren't friends. It always seemed to have lint on it which either transferred to my face or made the top of the product dirty. In the end, I tossed it out. :-(

Recycled Happy Daisy

Remember Happy Daisy? This smells exactly like it! Nice, fresh with this light floral, slightly herbal shower gel. I will add this to my usually B&BW rotation. It does not leave a harsh lingering scent on your skin, so you can add your favourite fragrance on top and mot worry about the scent being altered. Not original but a goodie - 4 out of 5 stars.

Keeps skin moist, not oily.

This is my first experience with this product. I'm about 60 days in, 2x per day and I absolutely love this eye cream. I chose an 'anti-aging' product not because I have wrinkles but because I want to prevent them.

I can smell the berries the second the cream pumps out. It's as if the pump is pressing the Acai fresh on the spot! More like red wine than 'berry' which to me is sweet smelling. The aroma dissipates almost immediately and never returns, so I never worry about having a berry smelling face. The pump does push out too much product, so with steady fingers I aim for only 1/2 a pump.

**Once a week I give this a full pump, into the trash. Sometimes, it gets to be a little runny.

The product is cream in colour yet blends in transparently so it will wonders for all skin tones. It keeps that delicate eye skin moist, not greasy, for hours. This makes the application of eye concealers very easy which allows for less tug and pull at my skin which in the long run will result in less wrinkles!

I look noticeably refreshed now. I didn't have wrinkles around my eye area but my skin look younger and more supple. I'm very happy with this product and as one with oily eyelids, this never makes me oilier or causes my eye makeup to disappear or relocate.

The new plastic vessel is quite large, not the easiest for travel. It is 4.75" tall with a 1.5" diameter. It is a siphoning pump, which mean you will use every last drop of product, so you will really get your money's worth, which is a good thing, since it's $25!

If you follow my blog, you'll see how to save 50% off, like I did, purchasing this. And I will buy it again! 4.5 out of 5 stars. xoxo

Almost as good as it gets!

This is a great 2 in 1 ~ it is tinted and I do not wear foundation so I get SPF protection and an even skin tone in one product! Mousse like in consistency, a little goes a long way. Keep it out of your hair, don't rub it in your eyebrows and be ginger around your hairline. This is the reason it lost a full star - my mom had skin cancer removed from her eyebrow - so I look for a product that I can put everywhere but this does gum up a bit when in hair. It offers complete protection and is easy to reapply. The squeeze tube is convenient and it has never popped open in my bag. It is department store diva priced at $28 but occasionally goes on sale on Arcona's website. I like it but it is not in my budget, I will not be purchasing this again.

Say YES TO this SPOT STICK!!

Acne suffers, say Yes To Tomatoes Roller Ball Spot Stick. This 97% natural product has been 100% effective treating and ridding my acne. Purchased @Target for $9.99 it rivals any department store brand that I have used - which have also cost twice as much.

The 2% Salicylic Acid formula treats acne at the source by providing exfoliation of the upper epidermis - this prevents the pores of the skin from getting clogged up and being infected with bacteria. In addition, a blend of Ginger and Bisabolol have anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

The vessel is very comfortable to hold and the roller ball is a perfect delivery system. I like the fact I am not touching my face with my fingers and potentially adding oil, dirt and/or bacteria. Having combination skin, I appreciate that I am not applying Salicylic Acid in areas that do not require exfoliation beyond my Clarisonic, such as my lower cheeks.

The serum dries but I do not feel as though I have a noticeable residue on or tightness to my skin. It also dries clear; not matte but not shiny and obvious. The dry-down is quick which allows me to apply powder without a long wait time. I can easily reapply this on top of facial makeup without disruption or cosmetic transfer.

Srsly, this clears my blemishes in 2-3 days and I have noticeably less scarring. Probably because I'm not picking at them for a week. Just being honest. On average, I apply it to spots 4 times a day until they have dried up.

My tip: store this roller ball down. I thought I had a bunk tube because product wasn't coming out unless I shook the vessel like an old skool thermometer. I was going to exchange it for another one but I decided to give it one more go. So I inverted the tube, roller ball down, in my makeup brush jar. Preso! I have had it for 2 weeks this way and I have not had any leakage issues.

This is a new staple in my fight against acne. I will absolutely repurchase this spot stick.

Yes it works.

First thing: It takes 4 to 6 weeks before you see change. Why not, it takes 28 days for skin cells to mature and slough off. By week 12 (month 3) you will see results that are a little better than half as good as a dermo laser. This serum is step 5 of your clinique 3step skincare system. 1)cleanser 2)clarifying lotion 3) moisturizer 4) Turnaround Concentrate 5) Laser Repair.

The vessel is white opaque plastic with an eye-dropper applicator. You only need to use 3 drops of this product, a little goes a long way. I release 3 drops to my finger tips and start by applying a small amount around my eyes. This formula is safe enough for your delicate eye area. Next I move to the ( ) lines between my nose and mouth. Then I pat the rest all over.

The space between my nose and mouth was the first area that I could see change. It seemed, not plumped up, but the lines had decreased. Next was the UV damage; My age spots were starting to lighten up, which I also attribute to the use of Turnaround Concentrate, a topical exfoliator.

So why did it lose a whole star: For one reason, it is too darn expensive. Clinique prices are out of control. #2 - it broke me out. Not little breakout. Big, cystic acne. And I put up with it for 4 months (until I finished the series). So I stopped using the product and my acne went away. *sigh* And the dropper doesn't get the last bit, you have to tip the bottle over. Towards the end of the bottle, I noticed the serum was thickening a little.

I used this serum day and night, per the enclosed instructions. I will not be purchasing this serum again based on the acne issue. However it does exactly what it claims to do.

LOVE THIS!

I have been looking for natural alternatives to my skincare regime and this toner has won a permanent spot! I have used Clinique's Clarifying lotion #3 for 20 years and although I am extremely happy with it, I am looking to be more green.

The first thing I noticed was the lack of alcohol - there's none in this toner and it is the first ingredient in Clarifying Lotion. I was afraid that my skin would feel sticky since there wouldn't be an evaporation period and as an oily skin the last thing I want to feel is icky residue after I washed all the grime off. (no alcohol = no evaporation) But I didn't feel that way. I didn't feel it the first time and I haven't felt it, more than a month later. I feel comfortably hydrated and this product does dry down without residue.

My moisturizer just melted in and dried down the same way it did with Clarifying Lotion and I applied my serums in order with no complications from the toner.

I love that the vessel is glass. Glass can be recycled 25 - 35 times where as plastic looses stability after a few reuses.

I use this 2 - 3 times per day, always following my cleanser/clarisonic. I will absolutely rebuy this toner. It is my new skin care regime staple.

Great 2-in1

Designed for the eye area, I actually use this as a facial cleanser. I use Neutrogena's Oil-free Eye Makeup remover.

This pearlized cleanser was surprisingly a delight to use. On my Clarisonic 2-3x a day I used 1 full pump to remove all of my facial makeup, including sunscreen. I have never had a trace a residue on my toner pads after cleansing.

Looking to cut cosmetic costs, I transitioned to this from Clinique's liquid facial soap Mild. I have been using it for a month now and *thankfully* have never experienced a break out period. My skin feels soft and clean not stripped and dry.

I would buy this again. The pump distributes a perfect amount of product for my clarisonic and the product delivers - as much if not better then the department store brands. Bravo!
