that is strange that you say you have heard bad things about their products- i have heard largely positive things about them. i havent personally used any of their skincare products, so i dont know- but if the skincare treatment works for you, yay! i am willing to bet you could find a much cheaper alternative to clinique's skin care products that works just as well, though.
also, i use clinique's foundation, the "even better" one, i love it! it's good coverage but doesnt look cakey. other than that, i dont really use any clinique products. i got a free sample of some cream eyeshadow, but i was not impressed. oh, and their lipstick is pretty good but not amazing, either.
