Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss$13.50 This antioxidant-infused gloss combines the moisturizing power of your favorite lip balm with the shine (not shimmer or glitter) of your favorite gloss -- and it comes in eight sheer hues. Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss battles flaky, dry lips and leaves them pillow-y soft and plump (though it's not a plumper). You'l...More |

Clinique Almost Lipstick$14.00 For those who want the best of both worlds, these slim silver cases hold the rich color of a lipstick and the soft sleekness of a gloss. Unfortunately, the Almost line comes in only four shades -- considerably fewer than Clinique's Different Lipstick -- and has a much shorter lifespan on your lips (the color slips after a f...More |

Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush$18.50This large jar of finely ground powders "sets and perfects makeup" of varying quality and comes in seven basic shades that does a fine job of camouflaging pores and concealer. The sifter keeps powder-y mess to a minimum, unless the container bounces around a lot during travel. Then, it seeps everywhere. But why do...More |

Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Soft Shimmer$14.00"Soft shimmer" is accurate, but color doesn't "surge." Clinique's Colour Surge Eye Shadow goes on smoothly, feels weightless and has a shimmer factor just one step above matte -- no glitter or high sparkle. The light colors of the 22 shades are somewhat muted, so it's best worn as a base shadow or alone for a subtle finish....More |

Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long Wearing Formula$14.00Clinique Lash Power Mascara is amazing, but not just for the reasons Clinique is touting. Yes, the tubing formula lasts all day without smudging or flaking, and yes, it removes with only warm water (and the proper press-and-pull motion with your fingers). But the real reason to buy it is for the dramatic length. Apply it ca...More |

Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara$14.00 Everything about this is big -- the tube, the wand and the longevity. It also lives up to its promise: Two coats of the heavy liquid applies evenly and dries quickly, and it magnifies lashes "to twice their size." However, the wand's pointed tip develops build-up after a few uses, depositing too much product if y...More |

Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion$11.00The sensitive skin equivalent to Clinique's popular bottles of astringent, this green-hued liquid acts as both a toner and exfoliant. The acne-fighting salicylic acid and skin-moistening glycol make it less harsh because it's missing drying additives like fragrance and alcohol. It's overly thick and chalky-smelling, but saf...More |

Clinique Anti-Gravity Firming Lift Cream$39.50This shimmery white cream's firming power is minimal, but the "dense hydrating formula" makes the $40 price tag worth it on windy winter nights. Expect dry, flaky noses and pinched eyes to be restored by morning, ready for another day of assault by the elements. The cream's lack of SPF and heavy texture make it a no-go for ...More |

Clinique Self-Sun Touch of Bronze Moisturizing Body Lotion$18.50For self-tanning novices, Clinique's mistake-proof Self-Sun Touch of Bronze Moisturizing Body Lotion is a good start. Even when sloppily rubbed in, the gradual tan-building lotion remains streak-free and gives legs a naturally bronze look after a week of daily application. On the flip side, the sticky formula takes at least...More |

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder$19.00Every girl needs a good blot now and then, and that's how this powder earns its stripes. The thin peach sponge does a fair job mattifying trouble spots and giving a deliberate satin finish to the T-zone. Be sure to blend with fingertips for a natural look. The sponge does collect skin oils, and it gets grungy, so be sure to...More |
