My Skincare Routine (OLD! I Don't Use These Products Anymore)

*DISCLAIMER* Jan 6, 2010
I used this system for a few months and the toner was way to harsh for my skin. It broke me out so badly and it didn't get better until I stopped using the toner. The Clinique ladies told me that my skin has to break out first to get better (?!?!) so I tried to stick it out... didn't work for me.

I will be doing an updated skincare routine.

Please keep in mind that everyone's skin is different. Just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean its bad or wouldn't work for you (I have friends who swear by the Clinique System). Its just the way my skin reacts to the toner... anywhoodles, just FYI :) *****

Vintage Glam ingredients can be found here:

Can you possibly make another skincare routine? if you haven't already lol....i probably didn't see it.

[stephielaclac]

yes i posted it recently :)

[AngeI225]

what eyeshadow are you using? I love the subtle golden glow!

[stephielaclac]

thanks :) i made a tutorial recently. if you look at my video: Holiday Makeup: Gilded Rose, it lists everything in the side bar.

Yes I had the same issues as you with the no.2 - burning badly! I did however try no.1 which apparently has no menthol in it (which no.2) and I have to say it does not burn. Although Clinique is rather pricey I am looking for something that more gentle for the face - mind me asking what do you use? . . .

[stephielaclac]

i've been using Neutrogena's Alcohol-Free Toner. I buy it at Wal-Mart. it is a really good toner. It doesn't burn my face and makes my face feel clean and smooth. Sometimes when I run out of it and don't have time to get a new one, I use MAC Fix+ as a spray over my face. But I like Neutrogena since its cheaper too :)

Jesus, find a synonym for the word 'shit'. I got really bored by the time I read the end of your comment.

Stephielaclac is awesome at applying make-up. I'd like to see your make-up tutorials, so I can determine whether your criticism wasn't just a worthless, ignorant and crude piece of crap after all.

can you do an updated skincare routine please?

Hi Y'all. Gosh Steph, you look so much younger here. Like a little Filipino Doll. I bet this must have been one of your first tutorials on Utube.

[Tiinzeh]

you should try cliniques mild clarifying lotion, its alcohol free and is good

i hadn't dyed my hair in a long time in this video. but i believe the last time i dyed it before this video i used a medium brown color at the salon.

[stephielaclac]

yes i will :)

that's what the clinique ladies told me too... sorry to say but my skin didn't get any better :( i stopped using the system pretty quickly. the face cleaner & moisturizing gel were fine. the toner broke me out like no other. it was way too harsh, even though i switched to a lower number. so you could try to see if it gets better or just stop using the system. but it definitely broke me out for a while so i stopped. hope this helps!
