L'Oreal or Clinique girls??

I am quite a fan of Clinique myself (although they are SO expensive in the UK). L'oreal seem to be more popular though, which is strange, because i have always found them to be inferior skin care products. What do you guys think? I want to buy a friend of mine a gift card for either one or the other so to facilitate things a bit, I created a poll on the subject (you guys can also create your own polls...). Any comments or feedback would be appreciated!
