Clinique Superbalanced Makeup Review

This foundation is oil-free, fragrance free and comes in 22 colours; for combination skin types with a sheer to medium coverage.

PROS:

• Absorbs oil where it needs to be controlled and adds moisture where hydration is needed

• Non-acnegenic: if you go to bed at night with this foundation, you won't wake up with a break-out as a result.

• Sweat-proof: whether you are working out in the gym or out for a run, this foundation does not look disgusting when you sweat.

• No need to hurry and blend it in: Some foundations start to set quickly, this on the other hand does not, which means you do not have to rush to blend it in.

• It does not cake up on skin: I found that on my skin the MAC Studio Face & Body Foundation starts to become cakey as you layer it on, this layers up nicely and smoothly on skin.

• No need to wear a primer with it: it is very long lasting on its own

• It does not turn orange as you layer it on your face: no matter whether you use a lot of a little, the colour remains the same.

• No shimmer or glitter finish

CONS:

• Packaging: glass bottle without pump means that you cannot easily get all of the contents out of it; because this is not a cheap foundation, it is annoying that you cannot access all of it with ease.

• Contains no SPF
• Gets everywhere: without a powder or setting spray, if you touch your face with your hand, clothing, phone, etc. expect to get foundation on it.

A conversation between two unborn babies

(not written by me)

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.
