"Rewolucyjny krem do oczu Clinique Pep Start - Nowa Era Pielęgnacji Oczu!"
NEW Pep-Start Quick Cleansing Swipes
A slightly controversial one, but it seems even Clinique can’t ignore the popularity of cleansing wipes (including their Take The Day Off Wipes). Although they’ve brought these cleansing wipes to the Pep-Start party, they’ve ensured there’s a huge implied asterisks with them.
These are not to full clean the skin, nor are they for removing makeup. They’re designed to freshen up the skin on those occasions you just can’t do a full cleanse – think Airplanes and festivals.
They’re 100% fragrance free and also provide mild exfoliation powers to remove debris and help unclog pores. Also really great when you’ve finished work, heading out for the evening and want to top up your concealer/coverage.
Pep-Start Eye Cream
Here you can read my full review of the Pep-Start eye cream from its launch earlier this year. Spoiler: it’s really good!
This oil-free gel cleanser gives gentle, twice-daily exfoliaton that really does a good job at leaving skin smooth. A great idea as I always prefer my exfoliation as little and as often as possible rather than big jolts all in one go.
It also uses gently exfoliation salicylic acid to break down the bonds of surface dead skin cells to give you a complete, multi-level exfoliation but in the perfect concentrations for twice-daily use. The physical exfoliation comes from grains and nut shells, so not an evil-little microbead in sight!
Clinique Pep Start Pout Perfection
So this is where Clinique must feel like kicking themselves for their fragrance free policy! It’s just rather odd that these juicy looking balms in Guava, Cherry and Tangerine, don’t even have a hint of the fruity scents. I love this kind of soft, glossy tint that feels conditioning and very soft on the lips – quite more-ish really – so expect to power through them! But, in this instance it really does feel as though something is missing without fragrance. The colours are lovely, being a translucent wash of colour – enough to have a presence but not enough to look like a full on lipstick.
In the swatch above, Tangerine, Cherry and Guava. I rarely wear a red a full strength so Cherry is ideal for a scarlet wash. There is also a clear Balm too, in the same packaging as the Night Mask. They’re £16 each which does feel a bit on the top side – if Pep Start is chasing the younger Clinique customer, I think these should probably have come in at under £10.
