CLARiNS OPALESCENCE SPRiNG COLLECTION

When the Clarins Opalescence Spring Collection was released, I just told myself that I must have it. Opalescence just basically means brightness and I am just a sucker for shiny, glow-y cosmetics. As I was reading their press release before the collection launches, I am already lusting for almost all of the products. The two things that really stood out for me are the Radiance Boosting Complexion Base and their Multi-Blush Cream Blush.

The Radiance Boosting Complexion Base* comes in three shades and I got the shade Champagne to suit my skin tone. I consider it really as a primer and use it as such. I applied it after my moisturiser and pre-foundation. Clarins claim that it eliminates imperfection and helps you achieve a flawless finish. You might think that it’s some sort of BB or CC cream but I don’t think it is. On application, it gives a very smooth finish. It is not tinted but I think there is something in it that evens out any redness in your skin in which I suffer with. It doesn’t look too glow-y when I applied it so I became hesitant but when I put my foundation after it, my skin just transforms into a luminous, radiance one. Like I was just so amazed by how it makes my skin glow-y and radiant from the inside. It sort of gives a healthy glow and I was just blown away. Another genius thing about the Radiance Boosting Complexion Base is its packaging. Don’t be fooled by its tube packaging. It is packaged in a tube but when you lift the cover up, you will have a pump which is very unusual with packaging like this. Personally, and I think most of you, I prefer any types of liquid cosmetics with a pump. It gives you more control of what you need. I find that two pumps of this are enough to give me my glow-y look. I use it alone as well during my good skin days and it just gives an extra radiance to my face.

The Multi-Blush Cream Blush* comes in four shades and I got the shade Peach which is my colour of preference for my blushes. I am growing a good-liking for cream blushers nowadays. This is called a Multi-Blush Cream Blush as it can be used as a blusher and lip paint. Two-in-one is always a bargain. When applied as a blusher, it just gives a nice glow to your cheeks. It blends beautifully to your skin. I apply this with the Real Technique Stiffling Blush or just my fingers. It gives a lovely, subtle peach glow to your cheeks. When applied to the lips, it is also gorgeous. It just have the right amount of peachy colour and too obvious. It feels very lightweight as well either as a blush or as lip paint. It has jojoba and sunflower as its ingredients making it so nourishing and creamy.

Overall, really love both products and well-done to Clarins for having such a good and beautiful Opalescence Spring Collection. Till’ next time :)

XoXo,
