Clinique product review

true bronze pressed powder
A few weeks ago, i went to the Clinique counter at Macys. I've been using their 3 step acne system for awhile and been pretty happy with it, so i've tried some of there make up too. I got this bronzer in #3 sunblushed. I really like the big packaging and compact (even if it did break the second i opened it and i taped it back together).  It comes with this funny awkward little brush, that i was sure would be useless, but it actually does sweep the product on well. 
It has a slight shimmer to it, but nothing shows up on the face. I wore it to work and it lasted pretty much the whole day, and i touched it up maybe once.  And although i am really happy with the fresh, healthy glow and color it gives my face, i'm pretty confident you could find something similar at the drug store or target and skip the 23.50 price tag.

The other Clinique make up products i have tried are; two colors of tinted moisturizer, almost powder, and stay matte powder. None of these products stayed matte, stayed fresh, or ever really matched my skin tone (even with help from the counter). For some reason this was a hard lesson to learn, but i think i'll stick to MAC for make up, and stick to Clinique for what they're good at and known for, skin care.
