Recently I had the opportunity to partner with Clinique and have a full skincare and makeup consult at one of the local DFW Clinique counters at Macy’s. The experience was truly amazing. I have been a lover of Clinique beauty products since high school. One of my favorite high school memories is my mom taking me to the mall and letting me have my makeup done at Clinique then letting me buy all the products as a birthday gift. I remember that time with her, talking about makeup and skincare so fondly. Something we still do often. So when I got that chance again, I jumped at it!

I visited the Clinique counter at Macy’s, Stonebriar Mall in Frisco, TX. Jasmyne, my makeup artist was such a fun and kind woman. We chatted the entire time about makeup, blogging, and how much we both love Mexican food. Meanwhile she had me fill out a form about my skin and we identified that I have Skin Type 1, meaning dry to very dry skin. This was not a shock to me. She then went through a skincare routine according to my skin type with me and cleaned my skin with Cliniques Sonic System. This is a product I actually have owned for a couple of years and I absolutely love. I use it to take my makeup off and as someone with sensitive skin I can tell you it’s absolutely amazing. What I did NOT know was that recently Clinique introduced a new extra gentle cleansing brush. Holy perfection Batman! It feels so great on my skin. Life changing!

After we went through a skincare regimen we moved on to makeup. We started with the CC Cream. It is amazing. What I love about it is that it gives you the perfect amount of coverage and that you can build it up as you need. Then we tried some concealer, powder, blush, and highlight before moving on to eyes. I am in love with the way she did my eyes. The combination of eye shadows gave this perfect day to night look. The All About Shadow combo she used were in Daybreak and Sunset Glow. The liquid liner which is some of the best I have ever used and the Lash Power Mascara are now on daily rotation in my life. Then she finished with the softest most moisturizing lip gloss.

Not only did I love the look she went for, which was day to night subtle but I loved my time at the counter with her. She really educated me on what good choices for my skin were and why certain mascaras are better for this situation vs another.

So now back at home not having someone tend to my daily makeup needs I am loving the products, which I am using most of on a daily basis.

    What an awesome opportunity! I used to use Clinique products all the time, but for some reason I stopped. It was usually their makeup range that I used but I tried out one of their toners once and I loved it.

  6. I have pretty sensitive skin too and I’ve found Clinique to be the best for coverage without being too thick in heavy. Awesome you got to try so many products!

  11. I don’t take great care of my skin lately… a busy 11 month old has something to do with that. I need to refocus on my skin care regimen and this might be a good place to start!

  12. Clinique is such a fabulous line of skin care and makeup. In my mind, it’s a classic and standby. I love the fresh face look that she gave you and that you are able to recreate it at home.

  14. This sounds like a dream day! I’ve been using Clinique since high school, too. I even bought one of the lip glosses because it was the same one Reese Witherspoon wore! Not even kidding. I’m sure I still have a tube of it floating around here somewhere. It was called Kissyfit. Now I need one of the Clinque Sonic Systems. That looks amazing!

  15. I LOVE Clinic products! I have been using them since high school. My dermatologist actually told my Mom that I needed to use them because of my sensitive skin. Since then their brand and quality has just excelled! You can’t go wrong with them.

    Who doesn’t love getting their make up done? It’s been awhile since I have had mine done. I have never used any of Clinique’s make up before but I have a lot of friends who wear their products. I have used their skin care products in the past and really loved them. That is awesome that you learned so much about what products fit your skin and the mascara. I may have to check out their make up in the future.

    My mom is a big fan of Clinique and has used it since I was young and I use it as well too at times. Great product for all types of skin and the various shades of skin we are in. Great company.

  29. Aren’t those brushes awesome for cleaning your face? I have the Mary Kay version and I love it. The very first bit of make-up I got was lavender eyeshadow from Clinque. It was a big deal. In my house we weren’t allowed to have any make-up until we turned 13. So mom took me to the counter for my birthday and we picked out the perfect shade. I used it for years afterwards and I was so sad when I finally ran out.

    I’ve always wanted to try Clinique! I have a couple friends who are huge fans of it but I just haven’t been able to justify the prices of the products. Maybe I’ll have to try it this summer!

    Clinique is a trusted brand. I think their “make over” of you looks fresh, and not over done, which is good.

    I have a very similar memory of visiting the Clinique counter in high school and getting their Happy perfume! So lovely that you had the chance to learn more about your skin and to get some beautiful products as well. 🙂

    I’ve never had my makeup done at the clinique counter… I may need to now!
    I’ve always used their face products though, they are so sensational on sensitive skin and hydrate really well. Their beauty bar is a MUST for me when I travel.
