With a T-zone that never takes a vacation, I have spent way too much time and money on products that don't work for me. This toner is completely different (for met at least) in that it WORKS. It doesn't burn, it doesn't stink, and it doesn't leave a weird film on my skin. Red or irritated areas are instantly calmed and overall my face feels refreshed each time I use it. It works especially great for eyebrows after plucking! As for shine control, I have to say this does a great job for me. I take a little spray/mister bottle of this with me and use it a few times throughout the day. Spritz then blot with a kleenex and the shine goes but not the makeup. It's nice not to burn through several sheets of blotting paper or keep piling on the powder to keep the T-zone from shining like a disco ball.

I adore my Quickliner. It always delivers consistent, excellent color and staying power. It is very smooth and easily glides on, and once it sets/dries it is there until I take it off. I never have to worry about smearing or raccoon eyes. It also smudges beautifully. Best part? The range of colors!

This works a little slower than its Lancome counterpart, but it much more gentle on the skin and eyes. It doesn't leave behind any residue like the Lancome remover does, which is a huge bonus. It is also excellent for sensitive skin. I also like that it stays mixed longer after shaking so you have time to do both eyes without recapping the bottle and shaking again. I hope that someday they come out with this in pre-moistened pad form. It would make it that much easier to travel with.

I love my Clinique Quick Eyes shadows. It goes on so smoothly and never creases, even after a ten hour day. It is easily blendable with powder shadows as well. The colors are really flattering and wearable with pretty much any skin color. Also makes evening looks like a smokey eye incredibly easy to achieve.

This is such a great powder! It gives just enough coverage to even out skin and make it look flawless without being cakey, powdery, or too heavy. I apply after primer and the end result is silky smooth almost flawless skin. It really does last all day, even during hot and humid conditions. I do wish they had more colors, though. Like another reviewer, I am in-between shades so I have to add a bit of bronzer as I went with the lighter shade. Other than that, I really like it.

This base has a green tint to it to help camouflage any redness in your skin. It does a great job of that, but it does feel a bit heavy and can leave a green tint on your skin if you don't blend it in incredibly well. I tried this alone after the cleanser and cream cause massive breakouts, and was pleasantly surprised that this didn't cause the same problem. I think if I had tried this in the winter I would not have noticed the heavy feel so much, but during the hot and humid summer it kind of made my face feel like an oil slick.

This is not your typical cleanser. It almost felt as if I was washing my face with a lotion instead. There is no real foaming action, and my face was left with what felt like a fairly heavy moisture residue. I know that this is part of the purpose of this cleanser - to not aggravate already inflamed skin - but it ended up leading to a big increase in break outs. It did help with the redness I get with my sensitive skin, but the alternate price wasn't worth it.

The Clinique rep talked me into getting the three piece starter kit for their redness regimen to help with the redness I kept getting with my sensitive skin. Though it did help with the redness, I started to break out pretty badly about three days into use of this kit. The cream itself is light, but it felt rather heavy on my skin. I ended up taking back the kit after a week of use because the break outs kept multiplying.

I love this scrub for my sensitive, combination skin. It doesn't feel like sandpaper and doesn't strip my skin to the point where it feels parched. I use it a couple of times a week to keep any dry skin or clogged pores at bay. I have noticed fewer breakouts since I started using this, as well as fewer problems with the dry, flake prone areas on my face. It's incredibly gentle but effective - a combo you don't often get in scrubs and exfoliaters

I got the quad that came with the latest purchase with purchase offer (copper, brown, taupe, cream) and I am loving how well these shadows work. It has been awhile since I have used any Clinique shadows. I don't remember them being this silky, vibrant, easy blending, or long wearing. I am planning on purchasing more of these quads as I love the versatility of the colors and how well they wear. My only gripe is that I wish they had more matte colors.
