Beauty Buy: Clinique Moisture Glove and Talika Eye Decompress Masks

Was shopping again and here is what I bought yesterday!


*Clinique Water Therapy Moisture Glove Hand Cream
I have to confess, I don't pay due attention to my hands. No matter how hard I try to develop a habit to apply hand cream at least 2 times a day I manage only once. I also can’t develop a habit of applying sunscreen on my hands before I go out (any suggestions?!). So it comes as no surprise that it took me a couple weeks to get around to buying a new hand cream after I ran out. As usual, I planned on one product and ended up buying another. Instead of Sally Hansen 18 Hour Protective Hand Crème at the last moment I got a hand cream by Clinique. I’ve heard good things about Water Therapy line from Clinique so I got Clinique Water Therapy Moisture Glove Hand Cream. I will be reviewing it in a couple of weeks.


*Talika Eye Decompress Masks
My next purchase was Talika Eye Decompress Masks. I have discovered this mask just about a month ago. It is excellent against eye puffiness! I have already posted on the ways to fight eye puffiness. The fight is never over and I'm looking for new effective products all the time. Seldom do I find something that works but (hurray!) Talika Eye Decompress Masks do! Stay tuned for my full review with details on ingredients and more photos.


I also got a sample of Talika Vital Oil that promises to calm and sooth sensitive skin. I’m always interested in trying out sensitive skin products even though my skin has been on really good behavior for quite some time now. What I can say now about Talika Vital Oil is that the smell is quite strng and a bit unusual… More details coming later!

Beauty Buzz: Are you looking for a Solution?

You may need to look no more if you need a solution for sensitive, irritated skin prone to redness. Clinique has launched a new line – Redness Solution, specially developed for sensitive, reactive skin. Well, the name speaks for itself.

Let’s look closer at what products Redness Solution includes.

1. Redness Solution Soothing Cleanser sounds great as it promises to “melt away grime and makeup without irritating skin or disturbing the skin’s natural moisture balance”.** In addition it is described as having some exfoliating properties: “Smoothes with mild exfoliation”.*
2. Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base is described as a “skin protector and skin primer in one” Contains chemical free sunscreen SPF 15 and antioxidants. Sheer grin tint will help to correct skin’s redness.
3. Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream is developed for persistent redness. “calms skins with Rosacea. Relieves visible redness, blotchiness” * Contains a “subtle green tint to disguise the appearance of redness”**
4. Redness Solutions Urgent Relief Cream developed for those who have occasional reactive redness trigged by cosmetics, food weather etc. “Visibly calms skin instantly” ** Suitable for highly reactive skin.*

I do need a solution, that is why am looking forward to trying out this line. What I like about Clinique's Redness Solutions is that it includes a sun screen product developed for sensitive skin. Sun protection is very important for sensitive skin but most manufacturers do not include in their sensitive skin lines products with SPF protection. I also like that there is a product for just occasional use and a product for treatment of a persistent condition.
I was glad to learn that Redness Solution Soothing Cleanser combines both actions: cleansing and lightly exfoliating. It is VERY hard to choose the right strength cleanser for a sensitive skin. And finding an exfoliating product that would not irritate sensitive skin is even a bigger challenge.
The only solution that seems to be missing from the line is the one for sensitive skin in the eye area. Or to be more precise two solutions: to remove make-up and to moisturize.
