For the
past weeks I’ve been trying different products from the Spring 2014 Opalescence
Collection by Clarins and now I’m finally ready to give you my impressions. When
talking about beauty product I take it quite seriously as it is very important
for me to have actually try them and give real inputs to my readers. I feel
very identified with this collection and its colors because they are so soft
and romantic, and encompasses warm, fresh tones for the face, lips and eyes.
- Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base: Normally I’m very critical
with these type of product because they can either improve or totally ruin your
appearance. What I like the most about this particular one is that it helps to
correct by "adding a veil of light across the skin" for a naturally
flawless complexion, and it seems to disappear into the skin seamlessly
providing translucent coverage. I think is a great idea to wear it during the
day, for a natural fresh appearance as it brightens and smooths out the texture
of skin while remaining light and moisturizing.; and you can also use it under
your foundation to achieve an even, luminous glow.
- Ombre Minérale Eye Quartet Palette: I totally love the mix of
colors in this palette; it is ideal for spring and can be used dry for soft
looks or wet for bold looks (the pics below are dry). At first I wasn’t very
sure about wearing those color during the day, but when I finished the makeup
it was so beautiful and inconspicuous at the same time, that I was delighted
with the result. The eye shadows are
smooth and have good pigmentation; and the mix of colors is perfect to create a
smoky eye effect. Another good thing
about this palette is that it comes with an “Eye Shadows for Dummies” card
demonstrating different variations of how and where to apply each color to
create different looks and combinations, which was very useful for me and I’m
sure it will also be for beginners or
those who have a difficult time mixing colors.
- Multi-Blush: As you know I a huge fan of cream blush, and when I
got this one I totally fell in love with it. The color is creamy and smooth,
and it gives off a radiant peach glow, fitting for a spring day. It looks very
natural for a lovely flush of color. Another great thing about this blush, it can
also be used on the lips for a natural look with a lightly powdered matte
finish.
- Perfect Shine Lipstick: When
I first tried this lipstick I was really amazed. This Tropical Pink, it is a
beautiful mix of pink and orange shades that looks great paired with the cream
blush. It’s translucent and the texture is smooth and glossy but non-sticky, which
is great and not very common in other makeup brands. Since the first day it has become an inseparable
partner.
Something
I cannot stop saying is that all the products smell delightful and give you
that fresh feeling we all look for and you’ll definitely love it.
I have
so other products that I still need to try, but I’ll save it for another post.
Have a great weekend you all!
Love,
Massiel
