My experience in ordering today was good. My comment here is directed at Clinique in general:
I am 65 years old and have used Clinique since I was 15 years old. I've always loved Clinique’s Tortoise Shell color, and that told everybody you were using Clinique. It was a symbol of class and recognition. Some years back, you started turning away from the green casing and going to silver….and I have hated it. It scratchets easily and is always smudged and finger-printed. In addition, they now look like any other cheap drug store brand. There is nothing unique and distinguishable about them. So…over the years….for each product that I had consistently used, once you switched to the silver casing, I have left that product and switched to another brand. There’s not too much left for me to get from Clinique anymore! Sure they’re a good brand, but there are a lot of other good brands out there too. I’ve been having an increasingly hard time finding my soft-pressed powder blush (in ‘Fig’). You now switched to the round, clear plastic, brushless blush. No thank you. Ive seen some in very similar packaging at Dollar Tree. I’ve ordered a bunch of my normal blush here, but I fear it’s on its way out too. Once it is, that will be the final straw for me and I will end my 50+ year association with Clinique.
Such a shame. It’s just proof that you must have the combination of both product AND packaging to sell successfully. You had a reputable, distinguishable product. Why did you mess with it?
