I Review Clinique Liquid Fash Wash Regular Strength !!
GQUK called this their face wash of the year (2008). GQUK called Clinique's entire range the best of the year (2008). I can never tell when GQUK is being completely legitimate. It is not to say that Clinique's advertising dollars buy more than ad space... or that 'articles' [http://tinyurl.com/ccsysy] on the magazine's website are little more than info stubs... (although the 30-odd words do get a byline. Way to strain yourself Jamie Millar. Must have stayed up night sweating over the hyphen in oil-free). But something definitely rubs the wrong way. Clinique definitely doesn't rub the wrong way (WHAT A LEAD IN!!!). Nice lather, lasts a suitable amount of time (about an office day), compliments other products outside of the Clinique range. Sometimes scents clash, or the intensity of one product overpowers another, but no such trouble with the Liquid Face Wash Regular Strength. But I don't know that Clinique's range for men would survive scrutiny on its own merit, without the Clinique range. The argument being that Clinique may stand for quality, but quality in women's products. So the transfer of authority and prestige is not so apparent. Maybe GQ needs to do a blind test. But then maybe they are afraid Pepsi would feel nicer as a Liquid Face Wash. I had this idea once that coffee in the shower was the ultimate start to the day. This was when I was trying to model my self as a late-twenties-vice-president. You know what I am talking about. Striped blue shirts. Red Bull. Take-no-prisoners, don't-bullshit-a-bullshitter. I am so busy I need to drink in the shower and change into my suit in my office. That's why I sleep with the secretary. Multitask. I figure she can buy the flowers she wants with the money from the harassment settlement (again, multitask). Anyway, drinking coffee in the shower meant I had to change to drinking long blacks. I need to be drinking coffee longer than the conditioner sits in my hair, otherwise what's the point. Might as well drink at my kitchen nook like all the other plebs. Two things always used to happen when drinking coffee. One was I would mistake my coffee cup for my shave rinse jar and end up scraping stubble off my chin with Fiori Single Estate Roast grounds. The other was inevitably I would spill coffee on my face while in the shower. I learned that people called me Two Face because one side of my face was always scalded (that is the reason right??), Clinique Liquid Face Wash Regular Strength is a better substitute than coffee, even if it cannot be said to be wildly better than other Face Wash products, and the Vice President life is not for me. Especially if I am not actually a Vice President.
