The new Clarins Fall 2014 Beauty collection is wonderfully named the Ladylike Collection. The collection features lots of pretty new pieces, but the heart of the collection speaks wonders about the eyes. I'm loving the new new cream to powder matte eyeshadows, the brow kit and the 3 dot liner in brown. Trust me, your eyes will be the statement feature this fall!
The Clarins Kit Sourcils Pro ($38) is a brow kit so compact you won't believe it has everything you need to groom perfect brows. The kit contains mini tweezers, brow brush, 3 eyebrow powders, setting wax and pink eyeshadow to highlight your brows. I took this on my recent trip to Europe and it fit so perfectly in my makeup bag. I love the shades that help fill in my brows too! (See how to apply.)
The new Clarins 3-Dot Liner ($26) in brown has become my everyday liner. I can actually fill in the spaces in between my lashes at the lash line so my lashes look fuller. It's my favorite liner ever! I need this in black now. This is limited edition so pick up a couple if you can before they are sold out.
Also new are the Clarins Ombre Matte Eyeshadows ($24) which are a long lasting cream to powder formula. It comes in 6 neutral taupe to brown shades, including one delicious sparkle grey that just looks amazing. I have 3 of the shades: #02 Nude Pink, #03 Taupe and #04 Rosewood. These colors are perfect for everyday and work. I have used my eyeshadow brushes but I honestly love using my fingers to dab in the color, especially the nude pink color that looks great all over my lid. I
With eyes taking the front seat, lips get soft. I love the 5 new shades of Clarins Rouge Eclat Lipsticks ($27). They are anti-aging lipsticks with a Nutri-Youth complex (a Clarins only ingredient) that helps create fuller and younger looking lips. I have it in 3 of the shades - #16 Candy Rose (pale pink), #17 Pink Magnolia (rosewood), #18 Strawberry Sorbet (berry). There is also a #19 Chestnut Brown and #20 Red Fuchsia, a fabulous deep red for a bold look. For everyday lipstick, I've been alternating between Pink Magnolia (such a fabulous mauve tone neutral) and pale pink fabulousness of Candy Rose. Plus the soft, fruity smell is addictive!
I've also been testing out the new Clarins Extra-Comfort Foundation, an anti-aging foundation which launches in October (top right cream in photo at top). Look for that review coming up soon!
