What do you think of Clinique make up?

What do we think of clinique? I need some make up that is fragrance free, I need a new mascara that is not one of those ones that cause panda eyes and I need some new lipstick. Any other recommendations welcome, thank you.

I didn’t know this, thanks for the information. I won’t be buying Clinique again.

But will you stop buying everything made in China? That's likely to be half of what's in your house and even your car.

I periodically try other mascaras, always go back to Clinique.

I love their quickliner for eyes in Violet but I’m finding it hard to get and I have a feeling it’s about to be discontinued.
They got rid of Chubby sticks for eyes and replaced them with a dual ended product. I loved whopping willow but I don’t like the other colour the equivalent shade is paired with and it’s now too expensive for me.
In the past I’ve been disappointed with the quality of the powder eyeshadow.
Basically, it’s hit and miss but with the recent increases in prices, overall I wouldn’t bother.
They have people all over the internet plugging Black honey for them for free but I’ve tried it and it’s all hype. It’s no better than much cheaper alternatives like Burts Bees lip balm in Fig, Nivea Blackberry or there’s an Elf one.
“Almost” lipstick/ chubby sticks for lips etc are just tinted lip balms. The ones mentioned above or even tinted Vaseline are much the same and everything else is just marketing/ packaging imo.

I have the Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. It looks nice when I put it on but it disappears in minutes. The Burt's Bees stays put. One's £25 (Boots), the other is £6.79.
Other retailers might be cheaper.

You're meant to put it on your eyelashes, @WiseMoose.

Oops 🤣

Oops 🤣

It amused me. I imagined long lustrous mascaraed pubes leg hairs. Smile
