Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

Clinique's Superbalanced Powder makeup really disappointed me. It was brought out on the 1st of September 2009 nationwide. I thought the compact was extremely unique and the mineral blend of the powder was also unique. However I later found out after purchasing the powder that Elizabeth Arden brought out one virtually identical in February 2009. So perhaps Clinique’s launch was not as unique as I first thought! What the Compact Looks Like and What it Contains It comes in this really smart circular compact which has a small press-in-button to release the top to come off. It has pressed powder ... more

Having very pale skin, I've always struggled to get a foundation that matched my skin tone perfectly, either underestimating and getting an even paler one that made me look positively ghost-like, or ending up with the dreaded "tangoed" look...not good either way! I eventually realised that constantly trying different foundations in the vain hope of one day miraculously choosing the right colour for me was a false economy so decided to splash out and visit a "proper" make up stand in Boots and have a consultation with someone who knew what they were talking about!

As a student, I am forced to make choices on what to spend my money on. No matter how much I dream of owning a pair of Jimmy Choos, I know it ain’t gonna happen. I have to BUDGET (the very word sends shivers down my back). My budget (this budget is just in my head – I’m not organised enough to actually write it down) is grouped into 6 main categories: going out, food, transport, clothes, music, and beauty products.

Name of the product I will be reviewing: " Clinique Superbalanced Foundation" - Price - I paid £ 18.50 for 30ml of this product I personally think this is a very reasonable price for such a good quality product, I usually pay up to £29 for any make-up product and this is well under my budget which is surprising seen as this product delivers great results and I would defiantly say it's one of the best foundations I've used and one of the cheapest. The reason I bought the superbalanced foundation was because I have combination skin, and this product is targeted at people who have my skin type as ... more

I have been looking for a good foundation for years and have always ruled out clinique due to them being a little bit more expensive than I would normally pay for make up. But on a recent trip to Boots I decided to visit the Clinique counter and I am hugely glad that I did, after going through a selection of different types of foundation the assistant finally found a shade to suit my skin, and below is a review of the foundation I picked. The shade I chose was Ivory which suits my skin perfectly, as it is a shade up from my natural skin colour and gives my skin a bit of a glow, which is always ... more
