Clinique Moisturizer

With the set in of winter, my skin has been horrendously dry. I was at the mall with my roommate and I decided to stop by the Clinique counter for some samples. The SA there gave me some samples of Super Defense, Dramatically Different lotion and Moisture Surge, so I am excited to give these a whirl tonight! I think I am going to start with the Moisture Surge, I love how it felt on my hand! Does anyone use the Clinique skincare line? Or do you use something else? I'd love some suggestions for anything that can help with the flaking I get around my nose and the tops of my cheeks! I currently exfoliate 1-2 times a week and I use Proactiv daily (which is a mild scrub) and the current moisturizers I've been using are Imperialis from LUSH and Moisture Therapy from Avon and this combination has always worked for me in the past (and I've been using all products for a long time) but this year my skin is ridiculous! I'd love to hear from any of you with suggestions!

Take care! Video tutorial and more looks coming soon, I promise!

So today I knew I'd be spending all afternoon writing a paper, so to make me feel better about it, I wanted to do an all out bright eye look. Where did I go for inspiration? xsparkage of course!
