(28) Way Too Dramatic!
As I was leaving the Clinque counter with my new eye cream, the sales lady called me back to give me a sample of one of their famous daily facial lotions. The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion comes in many forms. Lotion in a bottle, lotion with a pump in a bottle or just lotion in a tube. How confusing! Also I have found on the net while searching for a decent picture of the product that there is a gel form as well which is not featured on the site.
I have actually never used a Clinque skincare product before despite hearing great things about it. I remember my mom using their facial bar soaps in the shower and that was it. I also think my friends and I recommended the same facial bar to a fellow friend to use just before prom. By the way, she likes it so much that she is still using it. Anyways, the lotion is really a first. When I put on the lotion it feels really thick. As thick as a cream with lots of oil to it. After five minutes of a thick oily face it will feel very smooth and silky. I don't really enjoy those five minutes of thick oily and having a face smell quite plastic. I'm not sure if the all Clinque products smell that bad but this one sure did. Also, as you are applying the lotion(cream) it leaves white marks all over your face making you have to rub and mix the lotion into your skin. It's quite a hassle. So if I were in a rush, I would know not to use this lotion. Then a few days ago, I was chatting with one of my other friends and she was like "Oh, Clinque is only good for their soap bars and toners! Not their moisturizers!".
Note: I have sensitive skin that reacts to most face products including some mineral makeup. I'm not acne-prone but I do have some pinkish blemishes on my face. I also have combination skin.
