Clinique is amazing, but anything that you use for ages will end up being overloaded eventually. And yes, you should always read ingredients lists before you buy things, it's not like they don't have it all on display before you buy it. Tester, anyone?

I became the perfect party apprentice, with a PHD in sitting on kitchen counters and drawing my cheeks in and shooting you looks that I don't even mean. Hips that grind to scratchy indie hits and shoes that stick to nightclub floors...

I used some of my roommate's 3 step and it made my face a lot worse.

I think I shall try the suggestions given by historygravity if I find that they might help, because it sounds like we have the same skin type...so thanks!

Oh yes, the 3 step system definitely fucking sucks. I discovered that a few years ago. I tried it and at first my skin felt great, for like a couple of weeks. Then it turned horrible.

I like their bar soap (the first step in the 3-step system) but the toner and moisturizer are pure crap.

Some of their makeup is ok.
