Clinique Lip Block

Advantages: Handy size
Disadvantages: Feel heavy on your lips

...The Clinique Glosswear for Lips Shimmers Set is a set of lip glosses that comes packaged in a cool clear hard plastic case. I received these for a present and was very excited by their appearance- I was very pleased! You get five lip glosses in the pack in a range of different colours: Crystal, Sunset, Sunshine, Whisper and Mystic. This does not tell you very much about the actual colours of the glosses as I am sure you will agree. The thing is though when you apply the gloss to your lips I found that regardless of which colour gloss you use, your lips do not actually vary that much in colour. The gloss does however, gives a nice shine and a healthy look to your lips. I would say that the glosses probably accentuate your natural lip colour. The problem with these lip glosses is that I have found them to be rather sticky. I... Read review

Advantages: Feels nice when it's on your lips
Disadvantages: Expensive, doesn't work for me

..., and 2cm deep at its deepest. The tube itself is cute, and a great size for carrying around, but I can't stand the shade of green (a silly thing to be bothered by!).

To apply the product, you twist the cap until it comes off. The applicator is a plastic slanted extension of the tube, with a tiny hole through which the product comes out. You squeeze the plastic tube until the product comes out, and can then apply the product directly to your lips using the slanted applicator, or you can apply the product onto a lip brush, and apply to your...

Advantages: Doesn't cause breakouts, protects skin against sun damage
Disadvantages: Not that easy to spread over the skin

...Clinique City Block has been a godsend to me with my blemish-prone skin. Most other moisturisers with spf or sunblocks give me breakouts,however once I tried city block I haven't looked back. It provides an ideal base for make up and makes it longer lasting. It can also be used in the eye area without making eye make up crease and run. I've been using it for the last 5 years and most people are surprised to hear that I'm 31, so it must be doing something to protect my skin against sun and pollution damage. My only criticism is that it's difficult to spread on the skin due to it's texture, and doesn't last as long as I would like. However it's still good value for money and would be my desert island must have.... Read review
