Clinique BIY Blend it Yourself Pigment Drops ($33) are a new pure pigment drops that can be mixed in with your moisturizer to create your own custom coverage foundation. Custom pigment drops aren’t a new product as Cover FX Custom Cover Drops launched last year. But I really feel like that formula has plenty of room for improvement as proven by the very inexpensive Hard Candy Glamoflauge Mix”�in Pigment Makeup Drops.

Plenty of brands are busy creating their own versions of these custom coverage drops as well like NYX Total Control Drop Foundation that launched recently with the NYX Spring 2017 Collection.

I’m liking where this trend is going that’s for sure and I’m excited to check out Clinique BIY Blend It Yourself Pigment Drops as I have a feeling these are going to be brilliant.

Pep-Start Skincare is back for Spring 2017 with the release of the brand new Clinique Pep-Start Hydro Rush Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20. Although it had rather bad reviews, I have to admit I really enjoy Clinique Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer! The new formula is a lightweight sunscreen with a universally flattering perfecting tint. It looks like they went completely opposite with this new formula as instead of perfecting with silicone this formula actually has a natural tint that perfects and evens out skin tone on days you just can’t be bothered to apply makeup.

Best part? It contains an SPF 20 (mineral sunscreen)! So, you can get natural tint and UVA/UVB protection as well. If you aren’t up for the sheer tint, no worries, this wears under makeup as well!

The original formula was a hybrid texture that was part moisturizer, part silicon primer so it perfected and smoothed skin as well as provided moisture. This new version appears to take on the same hybrid formula but this time around they are going with sunscreen and tinted moisturizer all in one.

By the way, Clinique Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is also a new lightweight fluid sunscreen and perfecting tint all in one with a mineral formula. This one looks more along the lines of It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armour Super Smart Skin-Perfecting Beauty Fluid!

I’m eager to try it out the Pep-Star Hydro Rush formula!

Clinique Pep-Start Hydro Rush Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 is available now at sephora.com.
