This holiday season indulge in something new, something more unique that brightens the senses and spirits with a smooth touch and incredible scent…Merry Clinique! Clinique presented its new holiday make up with a fun gift wrapping workshop in Chicago at Paper Source. As I was learning how to carefully wrap presents I couldn’t help but test all of the products that were available on display. My personal favorite ones were the Clinique Cleansing Brush (of course!), the amazingly smooth to the touch and sweet to the scent Gelato Creams for the Body, the Pep Start Eye cream for eyes as tired as mine and the colorful collection of lipsticks that surprised me with their vibrant mat colors. I loved every single one of the Clinique products so I gathered a holiday gift list for you that you might want to try or wrap up for yourself and loved ones! Merry Clinique!
