Good Evening everyone hope you've all had a good day!
Im going to take through some of my beauty regime tonight an let you all in on my beauty secrets :) Im going to discuss Clinique 3 step and Origins GinZing Eyecream. I know everyone has their own little tips, so please let me know so i can try them out!
Clinique and 3 step was founded in 1968 with its first counter being at Saks fifth Avenue! All clinique products are allergy tested and hyper allergenic-which basically means all ingredients that cause allergy's are taken out of their products, perfect for people who's skin is easily irritated!. Every single Clinique product is tested 12 times on 600 applicants, thats an amazing 7200 applications! If there is one allergy in any of those applications then the product is completely redesigned! One thing i cannot live without is my Clinique 3 step, seriously once you use it once you'll never stop! I use it in the morning and the night, although i know some people just use it before bed. Your individual three step will alter depending on your skin type, which the Clinique consultant will go through with you.
Step one is a cleanser, which either comes as a soap or gel depending on your skin type. My skin in dry combination so i have the liquid facial soap. The facial soap is not a cleanser, therefore does not remove makeup, so i always use a makeup wipe first.

Step two is the clarifying lotion which acts as an exfoliator and comes in 4 different types. Clinique splits skin types into 4 different categories, very dry, dry combination, oily combination and oily which reflects its different clarifying lotion. People sometimes get confused when they have combination skin so heres a little tip. After you wash your face with soap, if it feels tight and a little dry then that is a good sign that your skin is dry combination, if it feels the same as it did before you washed then oily combination is most likely your skin type.

The final step is the dramatically different moisturizing lotion which comes in two different selections, dry and oily.

Clinique also do an Anti Blemish 3 step range for people who suffer with bad skin. It is important that people who suffer from conditions such as acne don't use the original 3 step as there is alcohol in the exfoliator with will inflame your skin and cause more irritation. Every person who I've spoken to with bad skin who have used this version of the 3 step have had fantastic results, so you should definitely give it a go!

The price of 3 step is quite expensive but Clinique are currently promoting an introduction package for just £20 which is an absolute bargain! You can order it online or i think they stock it in most stores that sell Clinique products. This is a really good set to buy for testing the products out, or even a handy travel pack!
Price Guide!
Liquid Facial Soap/Gel-£13
Bar soap (good for people on a budget as it lasts for ages!) Small-£9.50 Large-£12.50
Clarifying Lotion 200ml-£14 400ml-£23
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel/Lotion 50ml£15 125ml £27
So a small kit is £42 a medium kit £53 and a large kit £63.
Secondly I'm going to talk about my favourite Origins product, GinZing! This is an eye cream I found whilst working on their counter and its brilliant (and their most popular eye cream!) I put it on first thing in the morning and it helps brighten eyes and helps with puffiness and dark circles. Its perfect for tired eyes as it instantly brightens them up and stimulates the skin around the eyes to make them appear more awake!
GinZing retails at £20 and although the pot is small it lasts for ages as you only need to use a little bit!
I'm not sure how many of you have heard of Origins but they have amazing products for skin care. They do some make up but its mostly skin care that they focus on! So if you haven't tried Origins before I really recommend you should! They have an amazing range of products for people who suffer from redness and sensitivity called Dr Weils which I've heard REALLY works! Ill write a review on that in a few weeks!
Anyway going to chill out now an watch some more T.V, just watched EastEnders and cant believe the state of Shirley lol! Also cant believe there still using the stupid Ronnie/Stolen baby storyline, Hell!!
Goodnight everyone, I hope you enjoyed tonight's post!
Much Love
