Bluesuze wanted to know my skincare regimen. The products I use etc. So here it is...I took all my skincare products out of my drawer.... and it is a lot, but most of the Clinique are small versions you buy in sets. So it does look like more... It also looks like I'm happy with everything, I am almost happy with everything I have here, if I'm not happy I give it to a friend who might like it, or I trow it away if it's really bad.

PureGlow
I use these products most lately.
The Cleansing Cushions are great for mornings to quickly and thoroughly cleanse whilst scrubbing dead skin cells lightly away. The Microdermabrasion System is usually a Sunday ritual for me, I wash beforehand and moisturise with either the gel dermalogica mask (I'll tell more about that later) or a moisture refilling moisturiser. Not an oily moisturiser because I want my skin to breathe in the summer. In the winter I would use Superdefence (which I'll talk about more later as well).
The SummerSkin moisturiser builds a slight summer colour and lately I've been kinda pale so this gives a nice colour without looking fake or blotchy.
The Eyecream is one I bought to get the face complete when using one type of product, but for some reason I don't use it that much, it's not that I don't like it or that it doesn't feel good. I've just been not using it so much.

Visibly Clear
I use the Daily Peeling on days before my period and when my skin suddenly had breakouts, this cleans up my skin quickly and without much hassle. I don't use those sticks that you put on pimples etc. because they don't work on me and I've heard of a better way that works just as well on me. I stick a Q-tip in some mouthwash and patt that on the blemish. This kills bacteria and doesn't give a layer of muck on my face that looks strange. I use the 2 in 1 Masque as a mask and as a face wash. If you use it with water it's a facewash, if you use it on a cleansed face and let it dry on your skin it's a mask that absorbs oils and dirt. After cleansing I use the Toner to close the pores and Moisturiser to feed my skin. I tend to use the StriVectin eye cream on my eyes on days like this to give it a little extra care.

Neutrogena
On some normal days when I've been wearing a lot of makeup or I've been playing in the dirt with my friend's kid etc. I tend to use this cleanser because it cleans very well but is not hard on your skin. If you want to, you can use a face brush with this to give it a scrubbing effect.
The Daily Warmactive Peeling is something I love when taking a bath... it warms up when it hits a wet face and scrubs it clean. I love massaging my face with this.
The Moisturiser for Glowing skin has gold glimmer in it, so I tend to not use it on my face, but only on my decollete. Sometimes a hint on my cheekbones when I'm not wearing makeup.

Easy night regime
On some days I just don't feel like taking of my makeup and I use the Wipes to take off all my makeup and then use the Toner to take off the leftover residue, moisturise and go to bed.
Most days I do take a little more time and I take of most of my foundation and makeup with the wipes. Then I use the Dior makeup remover to clean my waterline (when using waterproof eyeliner, remember to clean the waterline) and the mascara that's usually still there a little.
I then cleanse thoroughly with warm water using the Diadermine Soft Mousse Cleanser, using warm water and a washcloth so take off the soap.
I love giving my face a massage with the Ultimate Relaxation Cream and use the StiVectin on my eyes before bed.

Dermalogica Masks
Before placing a mask on my face, I always scrub first, when using the dermalogica masks I use their scrub as well (I don't know exactly why, another scrub would scrub just as well, but well, with some things I like to stay within brand).
I use the Contour Mask usually after I've had my period, for some reason my skin is different at that time and this pampering (even though it looks and feels horrible) has great results.
I use the Skin Refining mask on days when my skin feels oily, the Intensive Moisture Mask on flaky skin, the Skin Hydrating mask is very soft and is great when your skin is extra sensitive and can be used on your eyes. The Multivitamin Power Recovery mask does what it says, it is great after a night out on the town when you need to look decent again the next day.
But my skin is a little annoying at times and gives me an oily nose and chin, a dry and flaky forehead, dry cheeks etc etc. So I'm known to put one mask on my eyes, another on my nose, another on my cheeks etc etc. Don't forget when using a mask that your neck gets almost the same abuse your face gets and give that part of your body some TLC as well.
When I've been pampered enough, I just put some sheer tint moisture on my skin to give it a little pick me up and it has SPF which is also a must after you've scrubbed.

Blissfully addictive
I LOVE Bliss, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bliss, it's always used up very quickly and I decided a while back to first use up all my Clinique products before buying more Bliss. Otherwise it's just a shame to have stuff that you don't use as much or love as much and as you can tell, I have a lot of skincare products.
The Sleeping Peel Cleansing Cream is great, your skin looks clean, feels clean, but not tight like it does when you use soap. It also doesn't feel harsh on your skin, it just feels clean and nice.
The age minimizing eye gel is amazing, it has something in it that in one night really feeds the skin around your eyes and brightens them for the next day.
The Triple Oxygen Mask is something that has known a lot of reviews, from people saying it doesn't do anything to people saying it's a lifesaver. Well, I'd say if you want a lifesaver, get the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque. But on nights when I go out partying, I tend to use this mask beforehand. It froths and bubbles and it tingles and it makes ma happy. Also my skin always looks radiant the entire night and the next day I don't look all warn out.
I've recently bought the Thinny Thin Chin, and I crave the smell of it when after half an hour you don't smell it anymore. It feels great to know I've got a product for my neck and decollete, but if it actually works, I don't know yet, I haven't used it long enough to give my opinion.
The Firmology is great. It really feels like it tightens the skin for the day and it has an illuminating something in it I think, because my skin looks radiant when I've put it on.

Little life savers
As most of you probably know the StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks is actually made for Stretch Marks, but when the product was tested there where no instructions for it and there was no name that gave away where to put it. So when they got all the responses about the way it took away women's wrinkles they used that in their marketing. So it really is great for your skin, it smells menthol like, so using it around your eyes makes them water. Which meant they made the same product only without the menthol for your eyes and named it StriVectin-SD Eye Cream. I love both of these on days when my skin is in need of some saving, when I'm in places that have airco etc. In those places I also always use Evian Brumisateur (facial spray) for a little wake up call to my skin.
You've probably noticed that I use Sephora Immediate Wrinkle Filler almost all days under my eyes. I love the way it feels and it keeps colour from seeping into the fine wrinkles thereby making them look less apparent.
I have a small jar of Lancome HydraZen in my car at all times... this is great for long rides when you have either the heat or the airco on.
On my lips I use Sephora Nourishing Lip Balm for daywear because it has SPF. I use the Bourjois Night Lip Balm at night and the Bourjois Nourishing Lip Balm if I want a little sparkly care for the day.
Of course I have a tube of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (I have two actually, I have one to spare in my "spares" drawer where I have seconds of things I really can't live without. This is great on eyes when you want them shiney, or on lips when they are dry. You can use them on scrapes, minor burns. It's amazing.
I have been given Diadermine NovaLift Anti-Age Set (*Thermopeeling *Anti age treatment) and I have used it and the scrub feels amazing, but the treatment moisturizer is too much for my skin, I actually start to sweat immediately after applying it and untill it's all off I keep sweating. So not for me.

Clinique part one
I can never walk by a box of Clinique minis and that is how I got so many minis.
I love the Superdefense on days when my skin needs something to protect it (when it's raining, very cold or very sunny), it soaks in very quick and you know it works all day. I use the 7 day scrub sometimes mixed with the facial soap to clean my skin very thoughoughly, but the facial soap does tend to make my skin feel 1 size too small for my face. So I prefer the Rinse-off foaming cleanser, using it with a brush to add a little scrub sometimes. The Turnaround selection is amazing, if you're young and want to try something that will make your skin feel new, try this facial and concentrate. I love this stuff and on days when my skin is super sensitive (after too much time outside in the sun without applying extra sunscreen when we're BBQ-ing or something) this really makes my skin feel a lot better.

Clinique part two
I think everyone should at one time try Dramatically Diferent Moisturising lotion, you can even use it on your eyes, it soaks in and leaves your skin moisturised for the rest of the day. I've only been using other products as Moisturiser the ast 3 years because you're supposed to start with the first anti-wrinkle treatment at 25 and well I don't feel like the Dramatically Different is an anti wrinkle lotion.
The Pore Minimizer Refining Serum and Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector are great for when you have notisable pores. The perfector looks like a concealer and makes pores look smaller. I sometimes use this when I've been too close to the magnifying mirror and after a while I use the normal things again.
When on holiday to warm countries I always pack Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief and All about eyes rich simply because nothing gives more moisture. It soaks in the skin and the entire day your skin feels moisturised. If I use it at home (it's more humid here) I have a "wet" feel the entire day, but on holiday, it's amazing!
I've been using the Clinique Repairwear Intensive Night Cream, Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face and Eyes and Intensive Eye Cream a lot for about two weeks now. Almost every night I put this on my face to repair and heal. I'm very stressed at the moment and that leads to me caring more for my skin, hoping at least I look good.

Clinique part 3
Before I bought the Sephora Toner I always used the Clinique Clarifying Moisture Lotion, I just felt like this is a place where I could save money and the Sephora one is doing a great job.
I bought the Clinique Continuous Resque Antioxidant Moisturiser as soon as it was on the market here and I've used it sooo much that the tube is almost empty. I have an extra one ready for it. This is amazing on days when you just want to wake up, throw some water on your face, moisturise, get in your sweats and sit in front of the TV watching all episodes of Heroes, LOST, Kitchen Confidential, The 4400, thatever takes your fancy. It's amazing for daily use and I love mixing up my moisturisers and still use it frequently.
I try to use Clinique City Block Sheer 25 SPF Oil-Free Daily Face Protector every day, sometimes when I think I won't go out that day I don't and when I have moisturisers that have SPF I skip it as well, but otherwise I use this.

Dior
Now I love Dior, but it's not always allowed by my budget. I once bought the big Wrinkle Creme in a white etui and it came with a lot of testers and goodies, so every time there is a Dior day I go over there, buy a lipgloss or palette and BEG for more Dior testers.
A tester is the Dior Capture Totale Rituel Nuit (Multi-perfection nighttime soft peel) which you put on before you go to bed and you wake up with a soft silky face. I use the Extra Vital Restoring Serum after cleansing masks to give my skin something sweet. I have the big jar of Ultimate Wrinkle Creme and it really is a life saver, my skin reacts so beautifully to this creme that it's worth every penny. I have a First Wrinkles Smoothing Eye Creme that my mum gave me around new years and I love it. The thing is, because it is so expensive I don't use it daily simply because I don't want it to be an empty jar one day. When I've had a day of Dior, I give myself also a night of Dior using Nuit Enriched Wrinkle Night Creme. I have a mini jar of HydraAction Deep Hydrating Sorbet Creme and it's moisurising and smells nice and it's like the Moisture surge from Clinique, amazingly moist. On days my skin looks amazing I use Diorskin Icone 001 Photo Perfect Creme to Powder makeup SPF 10 as a foundation because it's a clear foundation so no colour, only the matteness and base of a foundation.

Extra skinsavers
The Diadermine Eye Pads really make my wrinkles vanish. So on days when I need to look awake I put my alarm 20 minutes early clean my skin grab these and then go back to bed for 20 minutes of rest and then when I get out of bed I look awake
I also recently got these Power Masks that intrequed me. They are very easy to use, but no really amazing difference afterwards.

Sooo, here is everything I use and why and how.... I hope you guys haven't fallen asleep by now.
