This weekend I've been to my friend Sofi's place for her big birthday party. Our after-party-Sunday included chocolate flavoured Kusmin tea, chick flick movies and of course, a beauty product run-through. As it turns out, Sofi's become quite a Clinique-lover. And somewhat of a product specialist for that matter! So, I thought I'd better take the opportunity to share her Clinique-routine, so here we go!
 
"I start my morning routine (and end my evening) using Clinique's Step-1 Liquid Facial Soap, follow up with step-2 Clarifying Lotion and finish with Step-3 Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. Since my skin is quite sensitive, this 3-step routine has become sort of my complexions best friend.


"Following the Step-3 I use a moisturizer. Depending on the weather, I use either Superdefense SPF 25 or Moisture Surge Intense. The latter is a thicker cream, for those days when my skin needs a better defense for cold winter weather. As a daily booster I use Moisture Surge, at work or after a gym class, and it's light texture makes it wearable on top of my makeup! For my eyes I like All About Eyes Rich. Since I started using this eye product, dry lines dramatically has decreased".


"I like the stripped, natural and easy-to-do makeup look. My fav Clinique makeup products are: Superbalanced Makeup Teint 05 in Vanilla, which I put on after the moisturizer. Adding a bit of Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Victorian pink and High Impact Marscara in no. 11 Brightening black. Take The Day Off is just as it sounds like, a makeup remover which treats the sensitive skin around the eye area really well. The makeup I always have with me in my bag is Clinique's Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss, love colour no. 10 Grapefruit and Deep Comfort Hand Cream"!
