Beauty Report: Clinique Mini Makeover Workshop

So, today was a blast! The girls in our family had a lunch date then we went for mani-pedis at Nail Tropics. As always, my choice nail artisans did a wonderful job. My cousin C had a bad experience though. Her nail artisan cut off a piece of her skin on her right ring finger. The nail artisan said that the nipper was too sharp. Duh?? That it was newly sharpened. So why wasn’t she more careful? What the…. My cousin’s finger kept bleeding. She was already a bit dizzy because of the blood. Yes, the wound was that big! We both hate the sight of blood.  Anyway, they made up for it by giving her a GC but still.

After that, we headed for some drinks at Starbucks to kill some time before the main event of the day – Clinique’s Mini Makeover Workshop!

This report will be divided into 5 posts as it’s going to be very long. I will discuss different age groups and different looks  in each post. For this report, we will start with yours truly.

I’m turning 29 in a month. My skin type is 2 which is combination skin. I have a bit of oil on my T-Zone and my cheeks are dry. Baby is my beauty consultant at Clinique and she recommended the 3-Step System. I’ve been using this system since Wednesday night and it has done miracles on my face. I will post a different review on that.

The products that she used on me are the makeup remover, then the clarifying lotion followed by the moisturizing lotion. After these have been absorbed by my skin, she also applied a brightening lotion on the spots on my face caused by pimples. She also applied an eye cream (separate review soon). After that, she proceeded to apply makeup.

The liquid foundation was applied first. Now what I like with Baby’s technique is that she teaches you how to apply the different products and then she will ask you to do it yourself. For example, she taught me how to apply foundation properly. She did half my face then gave me the brush so that she can check if I learned something.

Next, she applied concealer on my eye area. This also served as an eyeshadow base. She then applied a strawberry/golden hue on my lids and a brown eyeshadow on the crease. Oh, before I forget, she also touched up my brows.

Next came the brown liquid liner.

Then lining my waterline using a pencil liner.

My eyes are super sensitive that’s why she had to stop applying eye liner on my waterline every now and then. They were tearing up and becoming red really fast!

After that, she concealed some more spots and swept off the fallouts. When doing makeup, we do our eyes first so that we can remove the eyeshadow fallouts before applying blush and lipstick.

She applied some blush and a moisturizing product on my lips as my lips were all chappy because of the cold! I forgot to ask the name of the product but it really works. That was just a few hours ago but my lips are already soft. A lipstick was layered on.

Here’s the final look:

This look is perfect for date weekends. It’s not too loud nor dark, the colors are sweet and they give the face (especially the eyes) an extra oomph.

Thank you Clinique for the Mini Makeover and the Gift Pack! Each participant got to take home some lovely goodies from Clinique! The gift pack included the clarifying lotion and moisturizer from the 3-Step System, of course according to each girl's skin type, and a mascara.

And to end this post, here are my superstar girls from Clinique:

Stay tuned for an evening/night out in the town with the girls (or with the boy) look!

    Had a blast. The consultants knew what they were doing. Learned a thing or two from them as well :)

    Clinique's products are quite a find. With their demonstration, I can actually say for myself that they indeed work. Though their products aren't that affordable to everyone, they serve their purpose. You just use a pea-size so the products are good for a number of months. It's a good investment :)

    BTW, thanks cuz for dragging me to this makeover session :) Loved every second of it.

    PS. I love your final look :))

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
