Carolyn Braden: Trying Clinique CC Cream
I liked the BB Creams that hit the cosmetic market like wildfire last year. This summer, it's all about CC creams. BB cream is good at covering up flaws, but was a little too heavy for my summer use. Clinique's CC corrects skin tone and promises light weight hydration. My skin hasn't been even for a while now; even with my use of Retin A. Who really has perfect skin anyways? I researched Clinique's CC cream and purchased some tonight. With summer right around the corner, I'm looking forward to using the Clinique CC cream because of the SPF 30. I love trying out new products and love it even more when they work. Let's see if this delivers.

Carolyn Braden: Are Redheads Overlooked When It Comes To Beautiful Brows?
I headed to my local Clinique counter a couple of weeks ago and left empty handed and sad. Why? Because I felt I was discriminated against because I'm a redhead. Clinique discontinued their brow liner in Soft Auburn and I really didn't understand why. It truly made me think, are redheads getting the shaft in the major cosmetic brands? To do a little research, I went to Sephora's website and did a search for "Auburn brow liner." I was shocked to discover only a couple of brands had a brow liner for redheads. Since I can't buy the Clinique liner anymore, I visited Sephora to purchase Lorac's brand. I then went to Meier's and found Maybelline has a new line that includes an Auburn shade. A week later, I was reading March 2012 InStyle magazine and they listed Paula Dorf as a line with an Auburn brow tint. My conclusion? Clinique did a silly thing. I believe the makeup industry is realizing that many people have red hair. Many people are even dying their hair red and keeping it that color for good. (Christina Hendricks!) Clinique was on top of the game and now with this move, I believe they've fallen off the ginger train. Thank you to all the cosmetic brands that don't discriminate against redheads. I hope many other brands will follow suit.

Carolyn Braden and Clinique's Blushing Blush
For a great blush similar to the best selling Nars blush, try Clinique's Blushing Blush in Precious Posy. I like Clinique's pink-ish peach-coral because it has a little more pink in it. I also like it because it is only $20.00 and will last a very long time, even with daily use.
