Reader Review: daneen924 on Clinique Supermoisture Makeup Foundation

Foundation is one of the trickiest things to shop for, simply because you're dealing with so many different things: level of coverage, the color, how it smells, how it goes on, and more. So the more reviews I can find, the happier I am. That's why I was glad to run across daneen924, who's been writing lots of posts in the Beauty Product Junkies group. Her review of Clinique Supermoisture Makeup ($22.50) explains exactly how much moisture "super" really means. And with that, I'll hand it over to daneen924:

On the Clinique website, the Supermoisture Makeup is described as having an ultra-creamy yet refreshingly lightweight formula that goes beyond flaw-fixing, providing a dewy look. Clinique promises that this product disguises unevenness with sheer-to-moderate coverage, resulting in soft and radiant looking skin all day.

The saleswoman warned me that the Supermoisture Makeup is meant for individuals with dry skin. Now, while my skin can be an oil slick during the summer, it gets tight and very dry during the fall and winter months. So I told the woman that I still wanted to give it a try. She color-matched me, and the shade she chose was spot-on. However, it was much too dewy for my taste. In fact, it looked-dare I say-greasy. I would only recommend this product to those with extremely parched skin (think Sahara thirsty).

So if you've got really dry skin, it sounds like this might be worth a try. For me, I'll probably try a different formula. Share your product reviews
in the Beauty Product Junkies group, and I might post yours on BellaSugar too.

New Product Alert: Bobbi Brown Yogi Bare Lip Balm

If you're looking for an excuse to drag your guy over to the makeup counter the next time you're out shopping together, I've got a great one for you. This July, tell him that New York Yankees Hall of Famer Yogi Berra is making an appearance over at Bobbi Brown. He may not believe you, but at best, he'll be intrigued.

Alright, so I've just realized that I'm sort-of encouraging you to tell a little white lie. It's not that I approve of lying, but think of it more as coercion. Bobbi Brown is about to release a new, clear and super-moisturizing lip balm named after her good friend Yogi Berra called Yogi Bare ($18). I received one yesterday to test drive and I've already put it on my bedside stand.

The packaging is the same as her tinted lip balms, which means they come in a discreet sleek black tube with a snug cap. It's really creamy, has no scent and once it touches your lips it stays there for a long time - no man (or woman) will want to miss out.

This is a terrific Father's Day gift or birthday gift for any of the special men in your life. Don't believe me? Let's just say that I didn't strike out with my smooth goodnight kiss last night. Seriously, why does baseball always resonate with the male sex?
