Peony is my favorite shade of the Fresh Blooms, but they're all truly lovely. Peony gives me this wonderful peachy glow that is unmatched with any other blush I've ever tried. I wasn't aware at first that this could be used allover (similar to a bronzer) and once I tried it, it just wasn't for me in that aspect. I'm very pale and all that color made me look a little too flushed. It is lovely though as a blusher and it's very silky and natural-looking. Not to mention the presentation is gorgeous! It's like opening a mini-bouquet every morning! Word of Warning: These blushers are very, very fragile! If you knock it around or drop it accidentally, it will break into a hundred pieces and if you cry, I will completely understand! I have since tried Almond Blossom too and I think it looks beautiful as a bronzer on my super-pale skin. As a sidenote: The limited edition shade of Mixed Berries is a gorgeous, juicy cherry-like flush. I love it and when I'm all out, I'll be so sad!

Two of my favorite eye shadows are Super Shimmers. I love Peacock and Lucky Penny. Lucky Penny goes on beautifully, even without a base beneath it. Peacock goes on a lot more sheer. If you want Peacock to look like its true color, put the Quick Eyes Cream Shadow in Sunlit Palm beneath it as a base, or use it as a liner by putting the Creamshaper in Deep Cobalt beneath it and drawing over it with the diagonal eye liner brush.

So TTDO is really great at getting all the makeup off, but I hate the way it feels. It feels like an oil, even though it's oil-free, and I'm not a fan of the way my super dry skin feels greasy after. It lasts forever, though, because you only need about 2 cotton balls for your whole face. I definitely recommend rinsing your face off after!

This is one of my favorite mascaras ever! I couldn't believe when I tried it how pretty it would make my eyelashes look. The wand looks so weird, but it's amazing. You can reach all the little lashes that you can't get to with normal wands and the color slides on really nicely. I feel like I get great length, and a little volume too, from this mascara. Also, it doesn't smudge or move around at all and I'm under hot fluorescent lights all day!!!

This gloss barely has any color at all, which is great if you like that sort of look. I like this gloss because it's really soft and just shiny enough without looking like a normal gloss. It's also not sticky like some other glosses, and it doesn't cake on your lips or dry them out. I especially like the lilac, currant, and ginger colors.

Touch Base is a great product. I like that because Clinique's eye shadows tend to be REALLY sheer and this brings out the color in them. My favorites are "buff lighting" and "canvas" because they go great underneath any colors. My only complaint is that they dry out really fast. If you leave the little silver "lid" on top of the circle of the base, it will help to retain a little moisture. I don't recommend opening them until you need them, though!!!

I feel like the liquid facial soap is a great addition to my skin-care routine. I use the whole 3-Step system for very dry skin and I love this soap because it doesn't dry my face out! I've used both the mild and extra mild and both are really comfortable. Just remember that it won't take your makeup off!!!

Black Honey looks good on almost everyone EXCEPT for me! It's pretty frustrating. I just don't like the color it turns on me, but I love the way it feels. It makes me hopeful that Clinique will reformulate all the older shades of Almost Lipstick. Until then, I'm loving my new Chubby Sticks!!

This product is great for setting your makeup, but not to be used as a foundation by itself. The sifting top can help you to avoid most messes, and I like that it comes with its own brush. It does last quite a while too!

DDML is great, but ONLY if you have very dry - dry combination skin. Make sure to get skin-typed by your personal Clinique consultant. If you get oily, this will be too much for you considering it has mineral oil and lanolin in the product--these can react badly for some. I, personally, like the way it feels but hate the way it smells. I use it (along with the rest of my 3-step) before my normal day/night creams.
