Sadly no new awesome gifts with purchase to share today. But they do have something new up at clinique.com that is worth sharing. They have introduced Limited Edition 3-Step Introductory Kits, which are a great way to try to the 3-step skincare program if you haven’t already. Each kit contains a smaller/travel size version of the 3 steps: cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, and you select the one you need based on your skin type. To find out what your skin type is, click here to get your own personal Skin Analysis and then you’ll know which Kit is right for you. Each kit is only $25. [Update: they’re now only $15 each!] If you buy the kit at clinique.com, you get your choice of a free deluxe sample at checkout. Or you can buy the kit at macys.com or nordstrom.com.

Before I moved here to blazingly hot Texas, my favorite night time moisturizer was easily Philosophy’s wonderful Hope in a Jar. But 2 1/2 years ago, I moved here and it was like my skin needs completely changed because my environment changed so drastically. Now the only thing I can wear at night during most of the year is Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. Anything else I tend to sweat off. Yes, its that hot here. Which leads me to mention another of my favorite products, Lancome’s Bienfait Multi-Vital SPF 30 Lotion, because you also don’t want to go outside around here without a high SPF on your face, and this one is the best. Its hard to find a high SFP day time moisturizer that absorbs as easily as this one, and believe me, I’ve looked. Hey, buy some today, use the promo code FALL (see yesterday’s post), and get a bunch of free freebies and free shipping!
