In March Clarins released a luxurious new skincare
collection that will take your beauty routine to a new level! When I travel the world from glamorous Paris to the winding cobble stone
streets of Venice and the smallest Canadian towns I find Clarins products
everywhere! The brand is known and trusted for their excellence and over the years the luscious
formulas have transformed my skin from blah to fabulous!
Now that I’ve raved a little, let me introduce the
Multi-Active Collection - designed to counteract the effects of hectic days, short nights, stress and lack
of sleep, all the lifestyle habits that leave their mark on your face. This
line could not come at a better time since we are slowly but surely
transitioning out of winter and trying to recuperate parched skin. Recently I’ve
also been jet setting quite frequently for leisure and work plus the parties and
press events never end! When your schedule seems to leave no time for pampering, this formula has your back with effective cutting edge technology.
Multi-Active Day
Cream
A fast paced, stressful life can be one cause of fine lines
and tired looking skin. This breakthrough formula contains fabulous
conditioning agents, antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients to fortify and
protect. It also includes myrothamnus extract - a South African plant with the
capacity to survive water stress during the dry season, a factor that makes it
efficient at absorbing the harmful effects of daily environmental aggressors. Worn
out, haggard skin will look smooth, toned, energized and youthful!
The anti-pollution complex is ideal for every season and I
notice results immediately! The cream instantly provides an incredible boost of
refreshing moisture plus it smells fantastic and absorbs quickly. As you
massage it onto your face, skin texture will transform from rough to silky with
no greasiness. This formulation is suitable for all skin types and provides the
suppleness and vibrancy we all crave. The lightweight consistency also works
well under makeup and doesn’t make your foundation look oily as the day wears
on. Whether I’m downtown at a press event or on a long, tiring flight I can be
confidant that my complexion will retain its radiance.
Although the cream
was designed to prevent early signs of aging for women 30+ it is such an
excellent moisturizer that it transcends age and gender. It also comes in a gel
and dry skin formula and retails for $52.00. I should also mention that it does
not contain SPF so for UV protection you can layer with sunscreen.
Multi-Active Night
Cream
I love a good night cream because skin heals and regenerates
as you snooze and I am totally smitten with this formula! Not only is it a preventative
treatment for fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging but it deeply
nourishes and replenishes my skin with luscious layers of moisture all night.
Whether you have a good night’s rest or suffer from sleeplessness
you can wake up with smooth, glowing skin. It contains organic California poppy
- a flower that closes at night to regenerate itself. This powerful extract
helps boost collagen and offsets the lowering of antioxidants that can occur
during fatigue. My skin feels soft and resilient when I wake plus all the dry
patches from winter have disappeared leaving my complexion smooth enough to achieve
flawless makeup application. The night cream is available in normal to
combination and normal to dry and retails for $55.00.
The Mission Perfection Serum fights pigmentation disorders
and restores a luminous complexion without altering your natural skin tone.
Dark spots and blemishes are really annoying and they can be difficult to
conceal, so fighting them from within is a great line of defense. The serum also
works on dyschromia, acne marks, dullness, redness and shadowy areas with a
plant extract that helps block hyper-pigmentation on a cellular level.
The cool thing about this serum is that it has a universal coral
shade that adapts to all skin tones (from fair to dark) to create a beauty
enhancing veil of light. As it treats your problem areas it also makes skin
appear fresh and radiant and under makeup it dulls pesky imperfections for a
more even finish. The serum retails for $68.00.
Before applying my lipsticks, especially matte formulas and
bright shades I like using a primer. I usually get the one from MAC but for the
price there isn’t very much in the tube. Thankfully, for us lipstick junkies Clarins
has released the Instant Light Lip Perfecting Base. Not only is the formula moisturizing
and comfortable it also sets and holds color to prevent bleeding and smooths
the texture of lips for even application. It is designed to keep lipstick
intact for up to 6 hours so you can bet I’ll be keeping it in my purse at all
times! The lip base retails for $25.00.
