Blast from the Past: A Simple Three Step System.

The Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System. It was my first introduction to skin care - way back when.

I recently revisited this simple 3 Step System. The steps are still the same, but the products have gotten even better.

The 3 Steps are cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize. The products are different for different skin types, though. Or as Clinique says, your skin profile. 

Finding out your skin profile is simple. You can either visit your local Clinique counter, or you can fill out an interactive profile online. Your profile will let you know exactly which products you should use.

My recommendations were to start with the Liquid Facial Soap - Extra Mild, follow that with Clarifying Lotion 1, which is a liquid toner, and to finish up with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. I love the fact that the soap is now in a liquid form for my skin type - it is simple to just pump out of the bottle.  And just one little squirt gives me enough to remove all makeup, dirt, and oils from my face. The clarifying lotion removes every last bit of film from my face, and it makes it feel alive - refreshed. Finally, the moisturizing lotion is available in a pump too - and it is still a good daily moisturizer for me. 

Make a revisit to the Clinique counter, if you haven't been there recently. And give the 3-Step a try.

 

Blast from the Past...

I am often questioned about products that are not necessarily new on the market, but standards. Oldies but goodies. And there are certainly lot's of them.

Over the years here at Beautiful Makeup Search, I have reviewed over 1,000 items. To get you caught up, I am starting a new feature where I will share with you a "Blast from the Past", some of my top ranked posts from over the years. Look for them starting today, and a few times over the week - in addition to regular postings, of course.

Napoleon Perdis 75% Off at Sephora.com

Check out Sephora.com if you love yourself some Napolen Perdis. I am not sure if his collection is simply going to be a Target exclusive, because the rest of the Napoleon Perdis inventory is 75% off at Sephora.com.

The products left range from $5 to $15, and include his famed Auto-Pilot Primers, so if you are at all interested scoop them up and now.

My pick of what is left is this beautiful French Riveria Pack. This three piece beauty is perfect for Summer - so scoop it on up and save it until next year, you will not be disappointed.


The pack contains a French Riviera Bronzer, which comes in a handy compact with mirror. A Peep Show mascara in Madame Curl Curl with a curved wand that has multileveled bristles which direct the lashes upward and the curved wand fits into the contour of the lash bed. Finally, the pack includes a Satin Lips gloss in French Riviera. Until it sells out, $8!
