My mom was my first beauty icon. She inspired me to take care of my skin and amplify my features with subtle makeup products, one of which was Clinique's Black Honey lipstick. Now that I'm a beauty editor, my mom and I bond as we sift through my collection of product samples—swatching blushes, swiping on lipsticks, and spritzing perfumes.
It's safe to say we've both tried countless beauty brands—from ultra-prestigious products to drugstore buys and everything in between—and we both agree that Clinique is elite. We love that we can always rely on the brand's skincare to give results without irritating our sensitive skin. And Clinique's makeup and fragrance options? Hidden gems galore.
So trust me when I say you don't want to miss the brand's current sale: Everyone can enjoy 30% off side-wide, but Smart Rewards members save 35%. You can also get a complimentary gift on orders over $79. Keep scrolling to shop my favorites, but fair warning: They won't be in stock for long.
Skincare
From buttery cleansing balms to my all-time favorite moisturizer, these skincare picks will give you your most radiant complexion.
Eyes
A little subtle shadow and a swipe of mascara is all you need to enhance your eyes. My mom also loves to add a shimmery shade to her lid with the All About Shadow Octet Eye Shadow Palette for a light-catching twinkle.
Lips
Black Honey is just the beginning. Add a subtle wash of color and shine with these moisturizing lippies in flattering shades such as Nude Honey and Pink Honey.
Fragrance
It's true: Fragrances make you happy. You can't go wrong with any of these dopamine-boosting delights.
