Clinique GWP

Clinique GWP

We all know i love clinique, and who doesn't like GWP's! lol since i don't go to the mall as much where my friend works at clinique, i haven't been hauling as much from there haha but if there is one thing that'll always work for me its the dramatically different gel. i've been using this stuff since high school and its never failed. i am sure there are other moisturizers out there, but after the ones ive tried, i always find myself going back to this one. i always make sure my moisturizer is oil free/gel based for my skin type. i alsoo love the moisture surge, but its just a bit pricey. good thing is that we get a pretty decent sized sample of the moisture surge, so i'll be using it sparingly. In the day time i use cetaphils oil free moisturizer with SPF...its okayy, i feel that it leaves me feeling a bit oily and greasy, definitely not something i can wear on its own without power. but i do use it in the day time since i have it lol.

lol i definitely needed a new bottle!

Youth Surge age decelerating moisturizer Anti-wrinkle SPF152. Cream stick blush in Glow Brush3. Different lipstick in Shy4. Full Potential lips plump and shine in Glamour-full5. Lash doubling mascara in black6. Rinse-off eye makeup solventTotal value $70

I can't get the blushcreme to work for me...i tried using it with my SS188, and it didnt work out at all :( if anyone has any suggestions pls let me know :)

I gave my mom the dramatically different lotion since i only use the gel based one, and i also gave her the youthsurge moisturizer. not too sure about the lippie, havent exactly opened it, from what i saw it looked a bit too dark for my skin tone....the mascara is great for my makeup bag, not as much volume for my lashes, but it does the job!

The makeup solvent is decent, i still have a bottle from another GWP i got a few months ago that I am still using, i mean its not the greatest...definitely doesn't beat MACs cleanse off oil lol but since i have so much of this makeup solvent i use it! haha

I got a bunch of samples of the turnaround concentrate....i used to use it sooo much a few years back & just got back into using it again since I have so many samples :)

One down side with the GWP is it didn't come with a makeup bag this time, only a box...not that i really need anymore makeup bags...lol but they're always nice to have!

So if you're in Canada check out your Sears, the GWP bonus is until Remembrance day, November 11th and its a minimum of $26.50. Happy Shopping!

Volcanic Ash Exfoliator and Thermal Mask Review & my surprise

Okay, so after a few weeks of trying both i think i can give an honest opinion on them. Both products have been sold out at every mac counter i checked, so here is what I personally think....

Volcanic Ash Exfoliator
"A highly effective, dual-purpose, foaming and exfoliating scrub blending natural Volcanic Ash with fine sugar crystals from the islands of Vanuatu. Adds moisture: leaves skin feeling soft and comfortably clean. Mineral-rich. Good for absorbing skin’s natural oils. May be used on any part of face or body. Rinses off with warm water.
100 ML/3.4 US FL
CA$23.50 "

Pros:
-Made my skin incredibly soft!
-Great packaging

Cons:
-Definitely do not like the smell :( even after several uses, it just doesnt work out for me lol
-not sure if this is by coincidence, but EVERY time i've used it, it caused a breakout. i've used it more than 5 times, and each time....a new mini breakout.
-limited edition
-somewhat expensive for an exfoliator
-veryyy messy around the sink

Overall, im not in love with this exfoliator, i'd prefer my clinique exfoliator over this one, and it smells a lot better! i didnt think this would have caused breakouts, but again each time i used it the next morning i saw a breakout. so weird!! i really wanted to love this product, but i dont think its working out for me right now. i have one and one backup, i think im going to return the backup and just keep the one to try in the future, maybe my skin will like it later haha but for now, its going under my sink back into the box.

Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask
"Formulated with Volcanic Ash and natural oils, this ash-black facial mask simultaneously deep-cleanses and treats the skin. When water is added, the mask heats up and the oils instantly lubricate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and clean. Helps keep skin moist, clean, soft, and evenly-textured. Limited edition.
100 ML/3.4 US FL
CA$23.50 "

Pros:
-Again made my skin sooo soft
-Great packaging
-Not hard to remove....unlike the queen hele mask (which i love) but is so hard to remove cuz it gets soo hard
-Waming effect...gives u like a spa like experience
-Not overly drying
-Feel like my skin looks more radiant the next morning

Cons:
-Price
-Messy
-Limited edition

I loveeee this product soo much. again i have one product and one back up and im definitely keeping both. I just love how my face looks and feels after its use.

So thats my two cents let me know what you thought about any of these products :)


My boyfriend surprised me with THIS HUGE PRESENT! omg! i was soooo happy and so thankful he got this for me! I cant wait to try it :) im sooo excited!

Maybe yes...Maybe no? Suggestions?

Ok so i'm in desperate need of some opinions lol sooo theres this really awesome GWP at Sears [a dept. store in Canada] and you only have to spend $26.50 and this is what you get: Awesome right?!??! i want BOTH haha more of the LIP choice b/c the small lippie bag is so cute! So I used to be a die hard Clinique fan, when I had a friend who worked at the Clinique Counter I was totally hooked on it all. I have soooo many GWP's that I still haven't opened! loll but i wanttt this one. But not sure what's left for me to try! lol so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know :) otherwise I may have to pass on this fab GWP lol because I'm honestly stumped and have no idea what to get lol

BUT...lol i'm not sure if i should pass on this because I am on a budget and have been. As I mentioned in my previous post i need to start saving $$ and paying my bills before I buy anymore beauty products. I have the whole thought of yeah..they'll always be GWP's so i could skip on this one and another one will come. But i dont know haha im soo stuck! lol

So thats my dilemma....let me know if you have any suggestions :) haha because clearly im undecided! heh

Random!! but this is what im drinking right now!
and i couldn't help but mention i freaking loooove this drink! heh i havent had it in a long time so i HAD to add it into my post! heh yah yah im lame ;) loll
