It seems like Summer is a far off fantasy, but before we know it we'll be busting out the shorts and sunscreen! At least that's what I keep telling myself...
Clarins wowed me with their Ever Matte Powder, so I was really excited to try out the summer range! Lord knows I love products that have designs imprinted in them, so when I saw the Splendours Eyeshadow Quartet & Eyeliner Palette (£31.00) my heart started beating a little bit faster! All of these shadows are incredibly wearable, however the bottom two shadows aren't incredibly pigmented and you need to work to build them up. It does create a very pretty look that would be gorgeous in the warmer weather.
Although I'm fair skinned, I have an obsession with bronzers. I usually wear them as a blush and occasionally contour with them. This is a terracotta toned Bronzing Compact (£30) with a bit of shimmer in the centre for an added glow. Really gorgeous bronzer. I topped off the look with one of their limited edition Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Gels (£16.00) in the shade Crystal Pink. They're kind of like a jelly consistency, but not too sticky either.
These are some of the strangest lip products I have ever seen in my life. They're called the Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm (£18.00) & although they may look frightening in the tube, they're incredibly wearable. The lipstick pigment itself is surrounded by a balm which looks coloured, but actually comes off clear. They're basically like a tinted lip balm in really cool packaging.
Left to Right:
Crystal Berry, Crystal Mandarin, Crystal Rose, Crystal Gold Plum.
Also included in the collection are some new Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors (which are my favourite glosses)! I was So excited to hear the news about these because although the shades don't differ too much between them they offer the perfect amount of shine, aren't sticky and smell amazing!
The new shades are called:
Petal Shimmer, Candy Shimmer and Rosewood Shimmer.
*This collection was sent to me for review.
