A Review : Clinique Lash Power Mascara and Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss

As to my previous blogs, I went to a Clinique Party, held at Rustan's Makati last June 18. And by attending the event, participants/attendees got the chance to get free samples from Clinique.


I got some great products in my loot bag.
Free Samples :
1. Youth Surge Night
2. Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss
3. Lash Power Mascara
4. Repairwear Intensive Eye cream


Given the chance of getting this great product samples I commit myself of doing a review and promised Charles of wickeRmoss that I will be reviewing the products of Clinique and blogging and vlogging about it.
(Clinique and wickeRmoss did not forced me to do this review nor paid me, I voluntarily and whole heartedly did this review and all opinions are mine and nobody influence me in anyway.)


For the meantime, I will only be reviewing the Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss and Lash Power Mascara as I have already gotten ample time to make a review for these as I have been using the mascara and lipgloss for more than a week now. As for the Youth Surge Night and Repairwear Intensive Eye cream, I will be doing a review for these products after two (2) or more weeks of use.


So going to the review!









From Clinique site :
Lip balm with a colourful twist. Luscious, high-gloss shades treat your most undermoisturized skin to soothing shine. Instantly relieve dryness, protect with antioxidants and more.
  • Coverage: Sheer
  • Benefits: Moisturizing
Price ( Full size ) : Php 900.00*


My opinion :
Likes!
1. It is very shiny on the lips when applied.
2. Very hydrating/moisturizing.
3. I love the fact that it is a BALM and a GLOSS at the same time.
4. A little goes a long way.
5. Hydrates/Moisturize your lips for long hours.
6. Not sticky or heavy on the lips.
7. Leaves your lips smooth and supple.


Dislikes!
1. A bit pricey for a gloss or a balm.
2. Clinique in general is not widely available, so for someone like me who lives in the province, it is hard to purchase.


Would I purchase this product? YES, despite the price, the product is well worth it!
Would I recommend it? Definitely for those who can afford and near to a Clinique booth or counter.




All in all I LOVE this product!
Without Superbalm



With Superbalm
  












From Clinique site :
Mascara with staying power. Vows to look pretty for 24 hours without a smudge or smear. Lasts through rain, sweat, humidity, tears. Yet the formula removes easily with warm water. Unique brush reaches and beautifully lengthens even the tiniest lashes. Ophthalmologist Tested.
  • Benefits: Long Wearing
Price ( Full size ) : Php 1,400.00*

My opinion :
Likes!
1. Flatters your lashes.
2. Easy to apply.
3. Does not clump however or how many coats you apply.
4. Reaches the tiniest lashes, even my not-so visible bottom lashes.
5. Long wearing, last the whole day!
6. Smudge and smear proof.
7.Defines and volumizes my lashes.
8. Easily removes with warm-water. NO NEED for make-up remover! its GREAT!

Dislike!
1. A bit pricey, but doable for those who can buy.
2. Formula dries a bit slow, so if you are not careful it will transfer to your eyelids or under eye.
3. I don't see any big of a difference in length. ;P

Would I purchase this product? I think so :D, despite the price, the product is very promising and a must-have!
Would I recommend it? Only for those who can afford and near to a Clinique booth or counter.


All in all, I also LOVE this product. Among-st all the mascaras I have tried, this works for me best!

Without Lash Power Marcara
 Can you even see my bottom lashes? It's invisible! :P

With Lash Power Mascara
 Look how my bottom lashes are now seen. ALAS!


So how about you? What brand is your lipgloss or mascara? Have you drop by a Clinique Counter/Booth to try out this great products?! So what are you waiting for? Try it for yourself and be the judge.. :)

  7. Hi Apple! I love Clinique's moisturizing super balm on your lips! The raspberry color looks soo gorgeous, your lips looks more plump in them! Clinique products are definitely well worth it, pricey yes, but you can never go wrong with quality! I wish I was able to join this event - the freebies are awesome! -Mar
