Clinique GWP @ Macy's

I love Clinique GWPs (Gift With Purchase). :) The items are always either full-sized, or generously sized, so you get a chance to try things out without spending a lot (all my lipsticks are either from GPWs, or Back-2-MAC! :D), or pass it onto somebody else. ;)
Clinique's current GWP at Macy's (purchase of $21.50 and over) is for the set listed above. You get a choice of either purple or pink, although both have the same products. The palette is actually super cute - it has flowers printed on the cover (instead of a boring plain one), and it consists of Like Mink e/s duo, and Smoldering Plum blush. The lipsticks are Beauty, and Raspberry Glace.

Both lipsticks are very creamy, and smooth when applied. Beauty is a creamy matte, whereas Raspberry Glace has small golden flecks (not super visible in person).
This was my purchase for $39.50. It's supposed to even out skintone, reduce scarring, and fade redness/brown spots. I've been using it for two days, so I can't quite give you guys a verdict yet, but so far, it hasn't broken me out, and does not cause me to get oily/greasy. It's a very light serum, and I apply it twice a day - once in the morning, and once before I go to bed. Because the product contains salicylic acid, sunscreen should be worn during the day to protect your skin. I would say that it's best for those with light scars/pigmentation, either from acne or scabs. If you have heavier and deeper scars, it might not be as effective. The packaging is nice because it comes with a pump that squirts out just enough to cover my nose and cheeks.
Either way, I'll keep using it for the next few weeks and report back on the effectiveness!
