Clarins is a brand I grew up with as my mum and grandma used to use it, I always thought of it as a brand for more mature women but I have recently changed my perception of Clarins. This year Clarins launched a new skincare range called Hydra-Essentiel, aimed to combat the changes our skin experiences on a daily basis through changes in the environment. The skincare range features organic leaf of life extract which helps to retain moisture in our skin and shield it from the changes in different temperatures.

Dermalogica is one of those skincare brands that have been around for years and only recently have I started to take notice of it. When Preen.Me got in touch about joining the #MyFaceMyStory experience I was so excited as I felt like my skin was in real need of some change. The experience began by booking in a face mapping skin analysis in my nearest Dermalogica counter which is a free service. I visited the Dermalogica counter in Selfridges Trafford centre where I was first given a questionnaire to fill out about my skin. 

Molton Brown is a brand that I have always loved but never tried out their hand creams. How beautiful are these hand moisturisers by Molton Brown! I am slightly obsessed with this packaging and the incredible smell of each of these delicious products. Molton Brown launched their Gourmand collection a few months ago and I have been trying out the limited edition hand cream set which features three different scents, rhubarb and rose, comice pear and wild honey and the third is lily of the valley and star anise.

I have been on the lookout for a good contour palette since they launched into the beauty market and this one by Clarins was certainly worth the wait! It launched in January this year and is embedded in a beautiful gold case and includes a bronzer, highlighter and contour each enriched with organic sweet almond oil, as well as Clarins anti-pollution complex. This contour palette not only defines the shape of your face whilst enhancing cheekbones but also protects the skin from everyday radicals. One thing I love about this contour palette is the angled brush that is included making it easier to define facial contours.
