Clinique Celebrates Dramatically Different Lotion+

Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion+

Rectangular bottle, green writing, yellow moisturizer… it can only be one thing: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion by Clinque. We all know it, most of us have used it — it’s the essential last step in the Clinique’s 3-Step Skincare System. Now it’s common to have a skincare routine but growing up this was my first introduction to a ‘cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize’ regimen. My story, coupled with the millions of people globally who share a similar experience is what makes this brand and this lotion so iconic.

On Tuesday night, Clinique invited me to Dramatically Different Party. Hosted at 620 Loft and Garden in Rockefeller Center, the party celebrated the launch of a NEW Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+.

Here’s a taste of the evening…

So why after so many decades did Clinique reformulate such a staple product?

Clinique Introduces Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin

Clinique A Different Kind of Nail Enamel

It’s been a big season for Clinique, last month they dazzled us with launch of their CC cream that is still brightening even the dullest days, but now it’s time to give them a hand, literally so they can polish it with their new line of nail enamel. Of course this isn’t just any line of finger paint, Clinique is all about products that provide a beautiful solution. So what’s the problem you ask?

Coming Soon: Clinique CC Cream

Clinique CC Cream

Arriving at the London hotel amidst weather that can be best described as wretched, my skin was beyond dry and lacking luster for sure. At that moment the word radiant wouldn’t be in the top 20 adjectives to explain its lifelessness and being in my twenties that is a sad statement. Enter Clinique CC cream, a lightweight hydrating color corrector that is nothing short of magic in a bottle.

NYFW: PC Backstage at Karen Walker Spring 2013 Show with Clinique’s Jenna Menard

-PC Fashion Corespondent, Tiffany Piñero of Tiffany Piñero Style

A highly anticipated show in the fashion week schedule, Karen Walker, was surrounded with even more hype when we got word our creative friends at Clinique would be on the beauty 1’s and 2’s. Clinique’s Global Colour Artist Jenna Menard developed a make-up look to compliment Walker’s collection that was based on “space-age optimism of the 1950’s”. Staying true to Clinique’s aesthetic this look highlights classic beauty, but with a futuristic flair. The overall cosmetic styling was a “moon-kissed” effect coming from smudged eyes, soft skin and a vibrant iridescence on the lips.

If you are loving how Jenna pumped things up when it comes to the pout, she created that look by applying layers of Clinique’s, Long Last Lipstick in shade Watermelon, and Colour Surge Eye Shadow Duo in Seashell Pink/Fawn Satin and Pink Slate. To add dimension and create a matte finish of your own, lightly dust a mixture of light pink and lavender eye shadow on top of the intense lip colour.

Celebrate Summer In Clinique at Montauk: Get your Bronze on and be Happy!

Not to get all Partridge Family on you, but there is such a reminisce of Come On Get Happy with the new summer collection from Clinique (right down to the 60s color scheme and flowers on the packaging, and bus tour they’re putting on this weekend in the Hamptons). I just started using their new Superbalanced Powder Bronzer and it’s not leaving my makeup case this summer. It’s. So. Good.

GET YOUR GLOW ON!

Clinique has some radient summer launches starting with their new Superbalanced Powder Bronzer. The product is quite genius; unlike most loose powder bronzers, the compact acts like a shaver and converts the pressed powder to loose as you turn the compact so you can control how much product to apply. Then swipe in your powders brush, give that brush a few shakes (to even out the product and dust off the excess) and apply to your face, and neck if needed. The formula is fantastic. It sets so effortlessly onto skin without being cakey and offers a very natural-looking sun-kissed glow. I use it all over my face with a focus on the half circle going from my forehead to cheeks. It feels very light and the pigment stays even from the moment it hits your face (it’s not like one of those strong bronzers where if you put too much you have a dark streak that you really have to work in to dissolve). Clinique recommends it for nearly all skins, since even drier types tend to get a little oilier when temperatures rise.

GET (event more) HAPPY!

What would summer be without a new addition of Clinique’s cult classic, Happy! Clinique has launched a limited edition Clinique Happy Summer Spray, which can be described much like the packaging it comes in; Reminiscent of happy, sunny days, this floral fragrance takes the heart of the original Happy coupled with warm, citrusy notes for a summer vibe.

Clinique has additionally created the ultimate sun-kissed glow how-to on their site. See the products they recommend and how to get the look: HERE
