Take a look at each item in this Sephora VIB Clinique gift 2016!
Full size $26.50
An instant brightening and hydrating eye cream that features a blend of peptides to help combat the visible effects of your busy life.
This lightweight eye cream provides a rush of hydration and instant brightening so you look and feel refreshed, wide awake, and ready for anything in as little as three seconds. Its cool touch and de-puffing tip help keep eyes looking fresh while smoothing the way for makeup. Plus, its peptides help support natural collagen reserves that can be threatened by stress, fatigue, and lack of sleep—the tell-tale signs of your busy life.
IcanGWP Review: It would be great if this sample comes in a deluxe size so that I can try their unique applicator tip (I want to feel the cooling effect). The ingredients are superb. For only $26.50, Clinique includes multiple emoliants, peptides and antioxidants that will help improve sign of aging and keep your under eye areas truly hydrated. This ultra-lightweight cream contains mineral pigments mica and titanium dioxide that will brighten your under eye areas (just cosmetics effects though). “Instant brightening” is a new trend for eye creams and Clinique is following this trend. For those who are suffering from milia and eye gel is not hydrating enough, you may give this eye cream a try. It’s very light and unlikely to clog and cause problem like heavier eye cream products.
Note – Sephora doesn’t show this item in the email they sent to VIB members. I might be lucky.
CLINIQUE Pep-Start Cleansing Swipes Pop-Ups
Full size $10
A pack of refreshing wipes that remove surface dirt and oil while gently exfoliating for skin that’s softer and smoother.
Pep-Start Quick Cleansing Swipes Pop-Ups help keep skin out of trouble by removing the excess oil, dirt, and debris that can clog pores. They smooth skin through mild exfoliation, instantly moisturize, and prep skin for flawless makeup application. Great for all skin types, they are perfect to use on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, and back.
This product comes in a stack of nine single-use pods, so it’s perfect for travel, the gym, work, or on the go.
Suggested Usage:
-Place pod on a hard, flat surface, firmly press the center, and release.
-Allow towelette to fully saturate.
-When ready, the towelette will rise out ready to use.
-Unfold and gently wipe your face, or upper arms, neck, chest, and back.
-Sweep across facial skin, avoiding eye area.
-No rinsing necessary.
IcanGWP Review: It looks like a new awesome concept! Sadly, Alcohol content is too high.
CLINIQUE Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer
Full size $29.50 (the blue tube)
A lightweight, 24/7 hydrator that provides matte moisturization, instantly blurs imperfections, and preps for makeup.
Solutions for: Dryness
This oil-free moisturizer instantly blurs imperfections, provides all-day hydration, and controls surface oil for skin that looks naturally perfected with a matte finish. The lightweight formula is great to wear alone, under foundation, and for touch-ups throughout the day. It’s the ideal way to give your skin the moisture it needs, and the forgiving retouch that blurs the look of pores and fine dry lines.
IcanGWP Review: I am not sure how to explain the texture of this product. It’s a heavy cream texture that is so light almost like gel-like light. It will temporary blur imperfections, and prep for makeup. This product is like a moisturizer and primer in one. It’s definitely a strong multitask moisturizer in the market. There’s a lot of filming agent ingredients (may feel like silicone-y) so I would try to get a sample before purchasing a full-size.
CLINIQUE Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser
Full size $19.50
A daily cleanser and scrub for clear, soft skin.
Solutions for: Pores and Oiliness.
By combining gentle cleansing with exfoliating power, this two-in-one formula takes away dirt, dulling dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities to give skin a smooth finish and a radiant glow. Gentle enough to use twice a day, it preps skin for flawless makeup application.
Exfoliation is achieved through the natural enzymatic action of papaya extract and the manual action of natural silica and bamboo beads. The base provides a cooling cushion, and foams into a satisfying lather.
IcanGWP Review: This is a very gentle exfoliating cleanser. The orange gel contains ultra-fine beads that help scrub off all impurities. Also, it contains BHA and caffeine that will truly help you fight all the clogged pores and dead skin cells. This is a perfect one-step cleanse for combo or oily skin. Dry skin may prefer AHA based cleansers.
Quick Take:
There are only 5 skincare items from 2016 Clinique Pep-start collection and I like this multi-taskers concept. It is rare for good skincare to partly functions like a makeup (equally good). Plus, all products from Clinique pep-start are fragrance-free. Perfect for sensitive skin! I am using this set from Sephora for a few days and my combination skin loves it (no dryness or breakout).
If you are interested to give this line a try, Sephora is offering 5 Clinique pep-start sets and starting as low as $15.
