Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The bronzer looks nice. Hopefully, it’ll be dark enough for my NC30/35 skin tone. =)
Oooh! A tinted moisturizer!! I’m excited to hear how that does!
Their skin care was always rather pricey if you ask me.
They also have a Hydraquench (moisturizing) and Super Restorative (anti ageing for mature skin) tinted moisturizers, though if this one is like their regular Day Screen High Protection, it’ll be super lightweight, which could be really cool! I’m excited to see how it does as well 🙂
I agree. Their skincare range is anything but cheap. Having said that, I live in cold, dry Scandinavia and the only moisturizer that prevents my skin for being parched and flaky is the HydraQuench SP25 cream. I use one jar for more than three months since it’s very creamy/emollient. It’s also free of mineral oil which my skin doesn’t really like.
In Spring/Summer I use the HydraQuench Cooling Creme-Gel. Also a jar for about 2 months as it’s a bit less creamy so I need to apply a little more.
Oooh! That is a gorgeous bronzer! I’m definitely intrigued by the lip balm…
yup, I definitely think their prices have gone up. I was looking to try the beauty flash balm yesterday but it was $50. I had always remembered their products being slight more affordable than Lancome or EL but this is pretty on par with those brands. I could just be remembering things completely wrong.
I like the eyeshadow set. Hmmm, I should go to Clarins soon. 🙂
I have a lot of resPect for Clarins as a company, and I have a lot of belief in their skincare, from products I have tried myself, to results I have seen in customers, there’s a lot of great stuff to be had (at a pretty high price though!)
Their One Step Gentle Exfoliating cleanser is great!! I can’t use it wih my Clarisonic though 🙁 Actually their cleansers in general are great, the foaming ones are only $20 last I knew and last forevvvver because they foam up like woah! I also like that they offer many textures within a product (lotion, cream, cream-gel, heavy cream, etc), and they have really nice skincare sets around the holidays.
Once I get rid of my acne, I want to start using their MultiActive line, if I can fit it in the budget!
I’m excited to see the eyeshadows in person, it’s kind of refreshing to see a summer palette without a teal, lol!
I’m totally in love with Clarins Multi-Active Night Youth Recovery Cream. It’s the best cream I’ve ever used but at $59 I buy it only once a year. Wish it was cheaper cuz it is sooo good!
That Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm looks so cool. I’d have a hard time not taking a bite of it!
I’ve never tried their make up but I have been using their creams for quite a few years and they work wonderfully for me.
Their spring and summer collections are both amazing – I want everything, and I never say that!
Excited to try the tinted spf – their former spf 40 fluid was a really great, light sunscreen that I could actually stand the feel of.
That E/S QUAD!! I must have it! It took my breath away…so pretty. And reasonably priced to boot.
I like how the quad looks, and I could use a tinted moisturizer with an SPF. I have tried stuff from Clarins in the past, but nothing ever stuck. It was years ago though, mind you. I’m prepared to be amazed!
The eyeshadow palette is so tempting. I’m curious how well the tinted moisturizer works. Looking forward to your reviews Karen 🙂
The only thing I’ve ever used from Clarins was an eye cream (a few years ago). Hella pricey and I can’t say that I saw any results that made me want to buy a 2nd bottle. Maybe it was just not a good fit for me, because I know tons of people swear by Clarins.
Their new makeup looks nice! Love the multi-activ line, the texture, the way it makes my skin feel… love the way it smells too, with that said, my skin seems to break out with it. *sigh* I don’t understand what my skin wants these days. Even Chanel breaks me out. I have been having some luck with Kheils though.
The Crystal Balms look a bit like the new Sephora Hot Hue Balms. I can’t tell from the picture but is there a core in the Clarins ones?
I don’t use alot from this line but I do have a couple of favorites. I like the Pure Melt cleanser which I use with my Clarisonic and the liquid blushes that came out with the Spring 2012 line.
id like the bronzer and the palette pls!
We are obsessed with Clarins Gloss Prodige Glosses!!! They are the BEST! They smell so good, too. We have Nude, Rose, Candy & Papaya. Highly recommend them!

The lipstick looks so interesting!
Ohh, I love the regular version of that sunscreen…I wonder what the tinted version is like!
