I got the Bronze Satin color as part of a free gift with purchase and love it for work. The color is great and good for everyday wear, although it is hard to build it up. It does crease on me, but all eyeshadows have creased on my eyelids and I use a primer to prevent that. Good quality, decent value. A good basic to keep on hand. When I run out, I will probably buy it (unless I can get a different, fabulous free sample from Clinique that can replace it!)

Physicians Formula Baked Collection Wet/Dry Eye Shadow
Great product! Will probably be buying it again...
I owned this product and loved it. Great neutral colors and contains a generous amount of shadow that lasts awhile! My only complaint is that the powder is a little hard (which isn't really a problem if use it as a wet shadow, but can be a little annoying if applied dry). Overall, a product I will probably be buying again.

I have this product in Gold Glimmer and love it. It's great on its own, or with a light layer of powder eyeshadow on top (it adds a cool gold shimmer/undertone to whatever you put on top). The color is great--just a good amount of shimmer without looking like it was glitter eyeshadow for a little kid. I've gotten a few compliments while wearing it and friends wanting to buy the same thing! This product lasts FOREVER--although the tube doesn't seem to be very big, you get a lot for your money because the product is so incredibly pigmented and you only need a small amount. Another thing I like about Touch Tint is that you can use a little for subtle shimmer or you can easily add a lot for really bold shimmer. Just put a little more on your finger and rub it on! Super easy to apply and looks great. Also, I'm bummed they don't seem to have it on the Clinique webstie anymore :( Get it while you can!

ELF's Tone Correcting Concealer is great for the price--it's only $1! If you're looking for heavy coverage, this is not the concealer for you (don't use it on dark acne scars, it won't really cover them). But for lighter coverage and VERY minimal "tone correcting", it's not bad. Really, it's more like a very light foundation in terms of coverage. I didn't find it oily. My complaints are the smell and the color. The smell isn't bad--it would be okay for a scented lotion or something, but it feels a little odd to be putting orange-scented concealer on your face. The color is a tad orange-y for my skin, but isn't too bad after I put some mineral powder over it. The color is also a little dark--I bought the concealer in "Fair" even though my skin is more of a "light nude" tone and the concealer is still a little dark for my face. Overall, I'm not sure that I would buy this concealer again. For $1, it's a pretty good product, but as a concealer, it's definitely lacking. If they came out with different shades or adjusted them to be less orange-tinted, I definitely would.

I do really like this product but it's a little expensive, so I no longer use it. I'm using a drugstore one right now that seems to have almost the same results. The product that makes the most difference on my face is topical treatments (I use 10% benzoyl peroxide)--for me personally, all alcohol-toners have about the same effect on my skin, including this one.

The scent is strong, which I could overlook, except that it doesn't blend into my skin very well. An okay product for my acne, when combined with topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide. I'm kind of bummed that this product hasn't worked out very well for me.

This brush was 1/2 of the dual ended brush that came with a smashbox makeup kit I purchased (the other end is the brow brush). The brush feels fantastic but is difficult to clean, even using brush cleaner, soap, and cleanser! I prefer my cheap ecotools slanted eyeliner brush for applying gel/cream eyeliners--the slant makes it a little easier to apply liner.

This brush is 1/2 of a dual ended brush that came with a smashbox makeup kit. I use both smashbox's brow powder and also Clinique's, and this brush is great for either powder because it allows you to quickly and easily get perfect brows (Clinique's brushes can be difficult to use because they have small handles and rougher bristles). It's a great brush and of good quality, and worth it since it came with the kit!

For some brushes, I use the cheap variety (elf eyeshadow brush, ecotools eyeliner brush) and think they work just as well as the more expensive version. But for a foundation brush, it's better to get a nice one, and Clinique's is great. I used to use makeup sponges until I got a makeover at the Clinque counter. Now, I'll never go back to those sponges--the brush applies foundation better, allows you to spread it better, wastes less makeup, and feels nice. It's pretty easy to clean too--I use the Clinique brush cleaner at the moment, but might just switch to a gentle cleanser.

I received a free mini lipgloss as part of a free gift with purchase. I'm kind of disappointed... Although there is a nice amount of color, and great color choices, the "passion fruit" smell is incredibly strong. So strong that it might be giving me a headache! The texture is slightly tacky, although the tackiness helps it stay on better. Overall, a great gloss except for the SMELL--I'd only buy this product again if they nearly eliminate the smell.
