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.

I think both my eye area and wallet are going to kill me one day. I really spend too much product, money and time on the one area of my face and it never seems to have any improvement whatsoever. The past drugstore branded eye creams and gels haven't worked at all. I realize that when I really want to believe something works, it will works just in my mind. Like for instance, the past drugstore eye cream was used only because I really liked the smell of the product. How sad. Anyways, I did decide to try a department store one someday. And since there was loads of magazine ads with the new Clinque All About Eyes Rich.. that was my easy choice. Sadly, I did get to try the new product because it's too rich for me so I went for the original one: Clinique All About Eyes.
What a pricey little container filled with some seashell pink creamish gel. This eye cream is supposed to diminish the dark circles, puffs and fine lines which I each have. I probably used it for a week already and I guess I see a slight improvement? I didn't really expect all the lines or my circles to go away. I actually can't tell if the circles are getting better because of the product itself or because I'm sleeping way too early and drinking loads of water. I guess it's helping. The skin texture around the area has gotten a bit better from lumpy old to less lumpy. The cream is also a little bit oily for my tastes. I can't really say that it works and it is worth my money at all. I don't think I'll buy it again because of the price although the little container can be worth a few months since you only use two pinky finger dabs. Try it if your willing to spend and wanting a change in eye cream.
