Clinique's 7 Day Scrub Exfoliator

Hello Divas!

I hope everyone is having the best day ever!

I have been using Clinique's 7 Day Scrub Cream for the past 10 days and it is simply phenomenal.  I received this cream as part of a Clinique gift with purchase and really never paid it any attention.  But I wanted to give myself a mini-facial and realized I had run out of my favorite exfoliating scrub and decided to give this exfoliator a try.

Per Clinique's ad, this cream will "gently reduce the appearance of fine lines and refine skin."  I can attest this scrub has definitely made my skin tone appear more even and smoother.  I love that it is very gentle.  The micro beads are small so the scrub is not rough or abrasive.  It also is very moisturizing and does not dry out your skin.  I also love the creamy texture of the scrub.  It really feels nice and soothing on my face.  Plus I have not experienced any break-outs using this cream which is always a winner for me!

Clinique's 7 Day Scrub Cream was voted by Allure Magazine as a Reader's Choice Award Winner.  Many women attest to the scrub's ability to improve their skin's texture over a short period of time.  I am so glad I tried and it is now a permanent part of my beauty routine.

Clinique's 7 Day Scrub Cream retails for $18 for a 3.4 oz tube and you can purchase it online here or a any Sephora.

Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector: A Life Saver!

Hello Divas!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day!

If you have been reading my blog, you know that I have been experiencing extremely severe breakouts. Too much stress in my life! I am working on removing all negative elements in my life, so hopefully the breakouts will cease.

During my breakouts, my skin was scarring pretty bad from the acne. I know I needed a skin tone corrector or lightening cream to get rid of the scarring. While reading Shake Your Beauty, one of my favorite blogs, Ms. Tia raved about Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector with SPF 20. She too was experiencing breakouts and she said this cream evened her skin tone in 4 weeks! Nice!

I knew I had some Clinique samples in my beauty arsenal, so I searched and found the Even Better Skin Tone Corrector. Now this version does not include SPF 20, but I was eager to give it a try. I am happy to report that after 5 weeks of use, my dark marks are almost gone! This cream really really works. Now I am used to using Retinol cream which works within 14 days, but this cream does the job slowly but beautifully over time. Since I have been using this cream, I have not experienced any breakouts and my skin is so very smooth! Love it! My skin tone is brighter, my skin's texture has improved, and it is more even. What is there not to like?

Unfortunately, I just ran out of the sample, so I am running to the mall tomorrow to purchase an one ounce bottle of Even Better Skin Tone Corrector. It retails for $39.50. If you spend $25 or more at any Nordstrom's or Bloomingdales you will receive a free gift with purchase!

Michelle Smith of Milly Discusses Her Signature Bag for Clinque

Hello Divas!

I hope all is well and fabulous in your world!

As I previously blogged, I met Michelle Smith, designer and creator of Milly during New York Fashion Week. Milly is one of my favorite designers. Her clothes are comfortable, luxe, and so pretty! Her resort wear and swimsuits are outstanding! Clinique commissioned Michelle to create a cosmetics bag and Michelle did not disappoint. The bag is absolutely gorgeous! The design contains Milly's signature pink color and a flirty pattern. This cosmetics bag is available exclusively at Bloomingdale's and is yours with a purchase of $25 of more at the Clinique counter. In addition, the bag contains all of Milly's favorite Clinique products including Rosy Blush for cheeks and Blushing Nude lips. The colors definitely match the bag! HOT! I asked Milly a few questions about her inspiration for the Cosmetics bag:

Luxetips: Ms. Smith what was your inspiration when creating the Milly One of A Kind Clinique Make-up bag?

Ms. Smith: The Clinique warm watermelon color pink lipstick and Milly's signature pink was my inspiration.

Luxetips: I am in love with this bag it is so creative and fun! What is your secret to success?

Ms. Smith: Work really really hard. Do not take short cuts and don't take no for an answer!

And Divas Michelle looked fantastic! She just had a baby and did not have one inch of fat on her body. Amazing!

Toodles!
