I’m really excited to share with you this Summer collection from Clarins, limited edition eye palette and lip oils. I feel like Summer has come around so quickly and is nearly over which is scary! When I heard that Clarins were launching lip oils I was so excited as these sounded so unusual and nothing like anything already on the market. An oil based lip product applied like a gloss, sounds good right?
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.
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.
Being an avid beauty lover means that I do have an abnormal about of beauty products in my bathroom. However there are a couple of products that I use weekly and I couldn’t live without. Lets start with this exfoliating body polish from Espa (£33)..it reminds of being at a spa the minute its opened! The product has apricot seed kernals and spearmint which cools the skin and aloe vera which helps to hydrate. It leaves your skin feeling nourished and refreshed, available to buy at Espa online.
