Beauty talk: Clinique Chubby Stick

     This is still in part of Lady E’s birthday bash at Clinique, the last agenda was a raffle prize, each lady gets to have a Chubby stick lip balm which Lady E will be paying with her own money, she’s that generous. I think  it’s coincidence that M  picked my paper for the raffle.
     So here’s my detailed review of the new Clinque Chubby stick…

       This was the lippie used during my make over session.  Costs P920 I think, available in 2 shades.




    Description says:
    A super-nourishing tinted lip balm.What it does: This gorgeous lip color treats lips to mouthwatering moisture and a hint of soft shine. It never needs sharpening-simply swivel up to reveal more of the balm.What else you need to know: Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance free.


     My thoughts about it…
        The lip balm has a slight lipstick feel to it. I love colored lip balms and this one is definitely great for touch ups right after eating, specially when on dates. It simply looks natural and blends in the lips, giving it a slight hint of pink color. For moisturizing, I liked the moisturizing effect it has. The lip balm looks like an oversized crayon which I find cute.
      PROS:

• it’s retractable
• no need for sharpening
• gives the right amount of hint of color
• moisturizing

      CONS:

• I can’t absolutely think of any, besides the whooping price – but hey it is a high end product XD

 
      But given that the product is quite big, I think it can last for a month or so. Since you just only need 2 swipes max.

      Till then!

Event: Clinique - A future bride and her first time

 

    I’m featuring my friend’s make over too, which I think is awesome. She’s the one responsible in making E’s cupcake.

    J is a very busy person,  Lady E actually invited her but from what I know is that she declined due to her schedule, and when her Fiance’ texted me on the day of the event, asking what clothes should they wear I knew they would attend. YEY! Which is good too, so that M won’t be left out. When I was called to have my make-over I was surprised that she wanted to go with me and watch, I love that she’s game. So when it was her turn, I was with her, along with her fiance’ and M. Hmm, come to think of it, it was only J who was with me during my make-over (the boys – MB, M and E was busy having a short chit chat).

     Before I proceed, let me tell you a few things about J. She has very sensitive skin and rarely wears make-up, and when she does, it’s only Maxfactor that she wears, since it’s the only (for now) brand that works for her. She’s adventurous enough to try Clinique despite her skin problem.

    First, she had her skin consultation with Ms. Baby

 

     She’s really thinking hard about the product, total price for the set was around P4000+, it is an investment.

      These were the skin care products recommended for her skin type.

      My friend is still quite hesitant about it, and  the sample that they gave us is not enough to see actual results. We were only given a 3 step skin care sample, she asked if they had a sample of the anti blemish solution, too bad they didn’t but it was okay I guess.

 

    After the skin consultation, on to make-up…

     Here’s a funny before picture

     We both had lack of sleep, actually all four of us had any sleep that day, and despite that, this lady had enough energy to be wacky and stuff. 

      Products used on her for prepping and make-up:

      We both used the superfit foundation, wasn’t able to take photos of other products used like foundation and lipstick.

      And the after…

                                  A future bride to be~ a few months from now

    By the way, if you remember my post about a one of a kind gaming proposal, they were featured in Rated K a few Sundays ago before Valentine’s.

 

        Overall I think she had fun, but quite frankly still hesitant (she only wears make-up when required to). She experienced some itching after, but she’s not sure what caused it.

 

         Till then!

Event: Make over session at Clinique

 

    Hello everyone, sorry for the delay, was busy with work and I’m sick again. Anyway, here’s my make-over session over at the Clinique counter during Lady E’s birthday party last Saturday.

     When M and I arrived I thought the party was starting already, I saw the birthday girl having her make-up done. Right after she had a short talk, telling everyone what’s in store for the day. So she calls my name first to have my make-up done by Ms. Malou.

        Ms. Malou prepping my face and analyzing my skin type.

       I was told she’s an expert in fixing eyebrows, and was happy she fixed mine.

      Products used in my face…

      For foundation, the Superfit foundie suited my skin type very well. I love it a lot, a bottle costs P1,700, but I say it’s worth the investment too. The benefits of the superfit foundation for a skin type 2:

•   removes excess oil and perspiration and
•   all day wear
•   for skin type’s 234
•   finish: Natural Matte
•   coverage: Moderate to full
•   oil free
•   photo finish

          I was advised to use a much lighter shade of foundation. We did a foundation test, I forgot the exact shade used on me (sorry) but it was a lighter shade than what I usually use. Reason why was because, my face turns red easily, and if I use the shade that actually matches my skin complexion, it would look darker on me. I was really overwhelmed with these information and glad that I now know.

       I love how she applied my eye shadow, too bad I didn’t take a photo of it.

                                      Blushes costs P1,550 at Clinique

           Ms. Malou used the Chubby stick in watermelon for my lips. And here’s the final look.

     With Ms. Malou- my skin care and make-up consultant and on the right my fabulous blogger best friend Lady E.

           With my loving and supportive BF (M), thanks for accompanying me babe

       This is really funny, E, was busy talking with other guests that time, so I told M, to have our picture taken together instead. Oh and little did I know, E was behind us all along. I seriously didn’t know, until I saw my camera. Until now, I still laugh about it. haha~

        I definitely loved my make-over session, and the natural look she gave me. Now the only dilemma is, aside from investing on my skin care with Clinique products, is to also invest on their make-up line. I love LOVE L-O-V-E the superfit foundation and their brushes too. Their brushes were soft and dense enough~

   Random photos at Clinique’s counter…

 

     So that caps of my make-over session. I really had fun and most importantly learned a lot. Thank you Ms. Malou for feedimg me with all the wonderful accurate information. I will definitely go back when I can~ Also thank you to my wonderful new found best friend Lady E.

 

    Anyone of you a fan or a loyal user of Clinique? Have you had a skin consultation lately? Do visit Clinique

 

    Till then!

Event: Lady E spends her birthday at Clinique Rustan’s

 

    It’s official, Happy birthday Lady E! Thanks for inviting me and M, Joy Lyn and Ed to your Clinique party.

    Clinique, Rustan’s Makati threw a party for my special friend Lady E yesterday (feb 26) Activities were, skin care consultation, a short lecture about the 3 step skin care, make over sessions for guests and a raffle prize.

     When M and I arrived the birthday girl was already having her make-up done, our friends Joy and Ed we’re there early since they needed to set up (because of the cupcakes)~ hehe.

       First activity was a short lecture about the 3 step skin care, I learned a lot, and by the looks of it, I am now a Clinique convert from their skin care to make-up line. I forgot the name of the lady who gave the lecture, but she was really nice and pretty too

  * with her is model for the party Ahne

    First part was the skin care then the make-over

                                                         Doing her make-up 

     Right after was the make-over for guests, and Lady E calls my name first, what the? haha. We were given the skin consultation answer sheets first, then the ladies in charge namely - Ms. Malou, Ms. Dindin, Ms. Baby and the lovely Ms. Budit took care of us. They were really friendly and gave us great tips for each of our skin type.

     Ms. Budit, Ms. Malou was the one in charge of me, being up close, she noticed my skin problem ( I was flaking that time), and recommended the products I need to use. I’ve always thought I’m mostly oily, but she said that I had dry skin. So I’m a combination. I’ll be investing on my skin care and will go back to clinique for another consultation and by my own customized 3 step skin care.

     Let me share with you (my dear readers) about the wonderful 3 step skin care. Clinique offers a customized skin care suited for your skin type (they custom fit the products for you) and recommend the following products that you need to have great skin. I was advised to use to 7 day scrub cream rinse off formula, for my flaking. Clarifying moisture lotion 2 (for dry to combination skin) and the dramatically different moisturizing lotion

     We were given sample sizes to try, and for tonight I did what I was advised and it was wonderful, which is why it turned me to a Clinique convert. Now all I have to do is invest on my skin care.

     I will be making a different post for my make-over. Btw, we had cupcakes who my friend Joy Lyn custom made for the party.

Other random photos

   Clinique also offers men’s skin line so for my friend John ray, visit their counters na, hehe~

                              This is how our answer sheet looked like

                                                   Guests and family

    I won this during the question and answer portion, but I gave it to Joy instead, just because I want her to be kikay too~

     A light green eyeshadow, green compliments all skin types, so I really hope she uses this.

     Oh and our men was also given a 3 step skin care sample for them to try

                   The giveaway goodies courtesy of Clinique~ Thank you

    Inside…

 

Aside from the Clinique goodies,

   Lady E also gave gifts, a box of bangles to choose from and I chose this

    A lot of people were passing by the Clinique booth and even joined the supposedly private event, and even asked if they can have bangles too? (whoa) a little bit thick skinned in my opinion, haha~ I should’ve suggested to have put a private party sign or something. hehe~ There were still a few bangles left though

   The birthday girl, generous as always wanted to have a raffle. Whoever wins gets a free Clinique Chubby stick. She asked the boys to go pick the papers and it was M who picked first~ mind you, randomly (I don’t have anything to do with it) and when Lady E opened the paper it was ME! haha, she says: “ano ba yan favoritism ba to?” haha! Joy Lyn also won which was also picked randomly by the BF.

                  This is Clinique’s new lip balm line, it sells for around P900+

                              The birthday girl’s new set of friends

                      l-r: Lady E, the BF, me, Joy Lyn and Edwin

       As we summed up the day, it was a unique birthday experience. I’ve never seen a blogger spend her birthday at Rustan’s, let alone be sponsored by a wonderful brand. I hope she enjoyed her day, BF was also sweet to buy a simple cake for her, as she calls it alay (haha~ she’s crazy like that).

 

        Thank you Clinique, I will definitely go back for your skin care regimen~

 

       Till then!
