My Clinique Story and My Top 10 Picks

Clinique and I, we have a special bond.

I had a lot of firsts with this brand. It was my first high-end skincare (I considered them very high-end back then since I was just a student when I started using Clinique. All hand-me-downs, by the way. Mum wouldn’t actually buy them specifically for me). My first lipstick was from Clinique. First Holy Grail chemical exfoliator. First high-end perfume. It’s no wonder that Clinique holds a very special place in my heart.

Today, I thought I’d share with you my top 10 picks from Clinique. If you’re new to the brand and would like to know what’s worth checking out, please read on. Here they are in no particular order.

1. Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
This was in my list of top 10 moisturiers when I ran Skincare Favourites Week a couple of weeks ago. I love how this gel moisturiser feels on my skin. Some like to use it as a mask but I prefer to use it as a moisturiser. It works for me as a day cream and even a night cream. The Fortified version is good too but I still prefer the good ol’ Moisture Surge.

2. Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
My first lipstick! When I was still in school, makeup was forbidden (it still is, I’m sure), so that Black Honey lippie was my contraband. It came in the original green packaging and was small enough to slip into my shorts pocket under my pinafore without being detected. During random spot checks by prefects, I’d stuff this lippie in my bra just to avoid getting caught. Haha, man, I had tubes of this! Out of nostalgia, I picked one up last year in its new silver packaging and whaddyaknow, it’s still the same, good ol’ lipstick I still remembered. If you’re wondering what it’s like, it’s a tinted lip balm with in sheer rose. A part of me wish it was still sold in its classic green packaging though.

3. Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renewer
Again, this was mentioned in my top 10 serums during Skincare Favourites Week. This doesn’t work for everyone but boy oh boy, did it work for me. It was my first chemical exfoliant serum and one day, I woke up, ran my hand over my face and got a shock at how smooth it was. It was this serum, people.

4. Chubby Stick Intense
I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of the original Chubby Sticks when they were first launched. The colours were a tad sheer for my liking and the staying power was mediocre at best. But when I tried the Chubby Stick Intense, wowza. The colours are rich and intense. They’re not sheer but packs a punch in beautiful colour. Staying power is also much better with the Intense. If you love a bit more colour on your lips, go for these instead of the original Chubby Sticks.

5. Clinique Happy
This was the first high-end perfume I bought when I started working. I’ve purchased cheapie fragrances before that but when I started working as an engineer in 2003, I wanted something more grown-up. I had a little gift-with-purchase deluxe sample of this that was handed down to me by Mum. I remember loving it so much that I immediately purchased a full-size bottle of this a week later. I had 2 bottles of this and also a bottle of the Happy Heart. Ahh the memories…

6. Take The Day Off Makeup Remover
I love bi-phase makeup removers and this one is fab. This is very gentle on the eyes. I’ve not experienced any irritation on my eyes when I need to really go in and get rid of my waterproof eye makeup. I’m currently using a small gift-with-purchase bottle of this after finishing a full-sized one. Between you and me, I much prefer this to that popular bi-facil one, if you know which one I mean. *nudge nudge*

7. Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
It baffles me that I took so long to finally try this one out. It’s a bloody fantastic cleansing balm. If you’re used to the hot cloth + cleansing balm method, you can use it with this cleansing balm but if you’re a bit of a lazypants like I am and can’t be arsed with a face cloth, you can remove this with water and there’ll be no greasy residue. Say goodbye to bringing cleansing oils with you when travelling because this is a much better and safer option. No more spills!

8. Turnaround Instant Facial
Before this became the Instant Facial, there used to be a 15-minute one which was seriously so good, I had to buy 3 to stock up when it was discontinued. When they came up with the Instant Facial, I was a bit skeptical as to how effective it would be compared to the original 15-min one. It’s not as rich, I’d give you that, but the results are pretty much the same. Instantly smooth and soft skin. Man, I can’t believe I forgot to add this to my top 10 facial masks!

9. Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion +
My first moisturiser was the original milky DDML. I used that for well over 10 years before I decided to try something new. Man, how far it has come. The DDML+ is so much better now. The reformulation makes it a great moisturiser that I believe is superior to the original DDML. It’s more hydrating now and doesn’t leave an oily sheen on the skin (the original DDML tends to do that for me).

10. Long Last Lipstick
Since I was pretty obsessed with just one lipstick from Clinique (the Black Honey), I never really tried the rest that the brand has to offer. It was actually Yishan who recommended it to me when she had her Clinique event at Mecca Maxima. I was half expecting it to be a tad drying and perhaps not very pigmented but when I tried the one in Runway Coral, yowza! It’s so creamy, doesn’t dry the lips out and the colour was spot-on. It was right up my alley. I had that lipstick in my makeup bag for well over a month before I decided to try something else. For me who is so fickle-minded when it comes to lip colour, it’s a big deal.

There you have it, my top 10 picks from Clinique. See what I mean by a lot of firsts? Even though I may be trying out other products from other brands, I’d always recommend Clinique to anyone who’s curious to give their products a go. Maybe there’s something in there that will become a good first for you too!

Clinique isn’t just available in all Clinique counters nationwide. You can also pick them up from Activeskin.com.au (free delivery for orders over AU$95.00. Less than that, it’s only AU$6.95). They don’t just stock Clinique but a variety of brands too (hello EmerginC!).

  1. Fei

    I’m from Melbourne, Australia. I haven’t tried any Clinique beauty products, however I’d love to try the Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes, all the shades are gorgeous and the no-sharpening-required crayon packaging is cute and practical!

  2. Guia

    Hi Tine,

    Im from Melbourne, Australia and my (and my mom’s and sister’s) favourite beauty product is Clinique Happy. Like you, I could not afford it in school growing up overseas but it was the first perfume I got my mom in a full size bottle when I started earning.

    Would love to try the DDRML and the Chubby Stick Intense though as I have heard good reviews about them. I am intrigued whether DDRML will work on my oily combination skin or not.

  3. Claire

    Hi Tine, I am from Perth, Australia …my favourite Clinique product is the Clinique Moisture Surge overnight mask. Its thick and hydrating and the best thing is, I apply it overnight and wake up to gorgeous, soft plump skin.
    Thanks for the opportunity to enter this great giveaway

  4. Dawn

    I’m Dawn from Singapore!
    My favorite Clinique beauty product is their Almost Lipstick in Luscious Honey and Black Honey.
    I love the balmy finish, sheer colour and how its unscented 🙂

  5. Pat

    I’m Pat from the Philippines, hi! My favorite Clinique product is their Long Last Lipsticks. I have a set of five pans in the All-in-One palette and I love that I get to try a whole set of them at once! They have nice pigmentation and fair longevity. 🙂

  6. giddy tigress

    I’m from Penang, Malaysia, and SOMEDAY, I hope that we can meet! 🙂
    Like you, I love the Black Honey lipstick…hey I have one in my purse right now…found it a while back while I was doing some spring cleaning. I also have fond memories of the DDML. The yellow lotion is what I used to call it.

    1. I’m Ee Laine from Malaysia.

    2. I do not have a favourite yet but I have been reading RAVE reviews over Black honey for years and years but never dared to try. The lip colour looks absolutely like black goth in pictures, but it turns out a nice natural colour on lips, almost like magic.

    I also want that makeup bag so bad! 😀

  8. sataa

    1 A big hello from Pakistan 🙂 I am from Pakistan 🙂

    Thanks xx

  10. Kari

    I’m from the Philippines. My favorite Clinique product is the original Moisture Surge! I love how it absorbs quickly and moisturizes well.

  11. Shano

    I’m living in NZ. My favourite Clinique product is the turnaround facial masque. My skin is so smooth and polished after usage.

  12. Eunice

    Hi Tine,

    Hello from where you are, Melbourne Australia. As with you, I’ve tried Clinique when I was younger. The lipsticks especially when they are sold in packs at the airport. I also tried the 3 steps facial care but they didn’t work for me back in those days. Now I’m hoping to try the DDML+ and the moisture surge moisturizer. 🙂

  13. Gabriela

    Hi Tine,

    Im from Sydney, Australia. I love Clinique stuff. My favourite is Clinique Happy Heart which has been my signature fragrance for over 8 years. I’ve been getting compliments on how good I smell every time I wear that.

  14. Emily

    Hi Tine,

    I’m Emily and I am from UK. Like you my favourite Clinique product was their black honey lipstick. Really liked how it looked so dark in the tube and wears so sheer on my lips.

  15. Asha

    Hey Tine!

    I’m from Melbourne, Australia and my favourite product is the Clinique Chubby Stick in Whole Lotta Honey. Not a lot of things I see on TV would look as great on my mocha skin as it does on TV characters but when I learned that this was the colour the fabulously chic Olivia Pope used on the popular series ‘Scandal’ I couldn’t resist and its the absolute perfect “my lips but better” colour! Very wearable and office appropriate to boot!

  16. Buttercup

    I’m from India.

    My favourite Clinique product is the Anti-Blemish Solutions Liquid Makeup. Its the only (yes THE ONLY) make up product that doesn’t break me out or slide off my oily & severely acne prone skin. From the very limited options that acne sufferers have, this is definitely the best. I love the coverage & perfection it gives. I am no pro in applying makeup but this foundation is so easy to apply & hides all the redness+scars 🙂
    I love the professional & friendly approach of the Clinique India SAs. They never try to sell something you don’t require & are never pushy. The lovely SA who helped me choose this foundation & the right shade spent close to undivided 45 minutes me….. i was bowled over, right there 🙂

  17. J-Mei

    I am from Malaysia. Hope can try for Almost Lipstick in Black Honey as it looks good.

  18. Wan

    Hi there, I’m from Malaysia,
    When read about your First with clinique, we have a few similarities such as my first perfume I have my first expensive perfume from Clinique Happy Heart, not so into their 1,2,3 skincare..too drying..however, recently loving
    1) TTDO cleansing balm, cloth method, for sure(reading your blog feels like reading my mind-feeling towards the balm)
    2) Moisture intense hydrator (i use for night time)
    3) Long last lipstick in Water Melon.
    4) Chubby stick intense (hieftiest hibuscus and super strawberies-great combo)
    5) pop blush in berry
    fuhh.. i didn’t know that i have all of these till now..LOL
    My favorite if i may, is the TTDO cleansing balm.

  24. Kayte

    I’m from Newcastle Australia 🙂 I haven’t tried anything from Clinique in years but would love to try the DDML+ to see what everyone raves about. I’ve also been meaning to pick up a chubby stick for tge longest time – will definitely check out the intense ones.

  25. Lilian

  28. Colleen Boudreau

    I’m from Michigan, USA. I love Cliniques chubby sticks.

  29. Kellee

    Hi Tine! I am from Brisbane Australia. My favourite Clinique products are:
    Happy Heart perfume – I just love this fragrance.
    Lash Power Mascara – defines my lashes and absolutely no smudging in our hot humid summers 🙂

  30. Kai

    I’m from Penang Malaysia.
    My first brush with Clinique is the yellow bar of facial soap as a pimply teenager, a gift from my uncle to rescue my face. He must have heard good things about Clinique as he is not into skincare. At that time, it was like ‘wahhh such an expensive’ soap and it comes in a nice soapbox. I really treasure that soap and the thought that comes with the gift, although it didn’t do much for my face. When I started working, I tried the 3 steps skincare and the eyecream but my skin remains oily and pimply. So Clinique fell off my radar for years until recently I tried the Turnaround Renewer and I’m wowed by it. Perhaps it is a good time now to rediscover Clinique, especially the serum products.

  31. Anna

    I’m from Russia.

    My favourite beauty product from Clinique is High Impact Mascara.

  32. amateur aesthetics

    Another Australian Beautyholicsanonymous here.

    All time Clinique favourite was the original Total Turnaround Cream – the first higher end item I ever bought and did wonders for my skin!

    Love seeing everyone’s favourites and the stories that go with them 🙂

  33. Jen C

    I’m from Massachusetts in the United States, and Clinique was also my first high-end makeup, a treat from my mom on my 16th birthday. My favorite is their concealer, which was especially useful during high school acne breakouts and still holds a place in my heart.

  34. sinichi_V

    Hi Tine,

    I’m from Melbourne too.
    I love the clinique moisture surge extended thirst relief especially during those days when my skin is especially dry or before I’m boarding a plane.

    Would love to try clinique chubby sticks though.

  35. Rachel Kriss-Newell

    The Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief – I have often commented over the years that I was born in the wrong country. Having such fair skin and living in the harsh climate of AUSTRALIA my skin and the sun just don’t get on. I am constantly in search of products to hydrate and moisturise my already dry skin. This product, I would love to try.

  36. Connie

    I am from Malaysia. I have a few favourite products from Clinique. The one I can’t live without is the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. My skin can really feel hydrated immediately after applying it. The best thing is no more dry patches for the next few days. Really awesome.

  37. Mardi

    I’m in Australia. I love Clinique, even though I no longer buy it cos it’s not cruelty free. It was my first cosmetic brand and I was loyal to it for nearly 30 years. What do I love… Anything but to narrow it down slightly the eye gel with the metal roller. I have one still I hoard and only use on days that I desperately need it. I’d run back to Clinique like a shot if they went CF.

  38. Jasmine

    Australia

    I would love to try Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renewer

  39. Lee

  46. Christy Peeples DuBois

    I love this post!! Clinique was my first high end makeup brand to buy as well and I continued thinking they were just one of the high end makeup brands (they still are) until I purchased a higher end lipstick from another brand for $30 and had no idea how reasonable Clinique actually is. I love Clinique and thanks so much for this giveaway opportunity.

    1. Christy Peeples DuBois

      I didn’t finish my comment.

    Im from the US and I LOVE their matte pressed powder compact. Living in the south it is the only foundation I can use that doesnt immediately melt off my face in the humid summer. I still have to pair it with a primer, but the fact that anything stays on my face down here is a miracle.

    Hello from the States!

    Like you, I grew up on Clinique. Their three-step face care got me in the habit of devoting time to my skin.

    These days, however, it’s their black honey almost lipstick that I can’t live without. So flattering- it just enhances whatever color is naturally there.

    Oh Wow, I haven’t had a Clinque cosmetic product in years but I am a tride and true lover of the foaming cleanser as my back up face wash when I run out of my Origins Checks and Balances ( they are very similar but the Origins one does not dry out my skin that slight little bit with my toner like the Clinique cleanser does..errrg. ) I did try a red lipstick once that was Clinque…omg it was like an affair…but I was naive then. . . . . *Sigh*

    I’m from Sydney Australia. Like you and some of your readers, I had a lot of my firsts with Clinique. My mum until now is a Clinique girl – that’s 17 years of loyalty to a brand. She gave me samples as soon as I hit my teens and been forever a fan. My absolute favorite is the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. Love how it feels on my skin.

    I’m from Australia and also love Clinique’s Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief – worked wonders on my face during a flight from Sydney to LA and return – very hydrating!

  104. Rachel

    I’m from Vietnam but currently residing in the UK. I find it strange that I have never actually tried anything from Clinique before. If I had the chance I would love to try the new cleansing brush they are bringing to the market. I do have a Clarisonic but so curious to see how it fares.

  105. Kelly Maxwell

    I have never tried Clinique but I would love to try their Dramatically Different Moisturizer and also their mascara! Thanks for the contest.

    Hi there,

    My name is Jen, I’m from Canada. I have several favourite products from Clinique.

    My #1 is the City Base Compact Foundation (Fair). This has SPF 25 and covers everything you need to cover. It does not wipe away concealer (which I put on first over sunspots) and it does smooth over pores. It is one of those cream to powder build-able types (from before we talked this way). It is my old stand-by. I think they just re-named it, so now I just point through the glass for it. argh.

    Second is the Different lipstick in almost any colour – I love Guava a lot though. The Different Lipsticks do moisturize, not a lie.

    Third and possible best ever on the market is the gloss mascara, not rue of the official name but it is the best mascara out there, period.

    Other make up stand outs are the chubby sticks, tinted moisturizer, ip gloss tubes that are thankfully NOT flavoured!

    Skin care is also tops. The gel line is lovely for eyes and face – try also the moisturizing spritz. 3-step is the holy grail of skin care regimes not just for it working well but also for marketing, I would imagine…

    I love Clinique! Can you tell??I still use other products, but I’m at Sears or the Bay at least twice a year stocking up on my faves from the counter 🙂
