Really, they do. I’m not kidding; they LIVE for it!
This golden peachy pink powder gives cheeks and faces a warm, subtle sheen, but only if you build up the courage to actually disrupt the pretty pattern on the pan. 🙂

I don’t own anything from Clarins and just have one blush so far but the packaging of this Barocco LE is really gorgeous.
FALAFEL! Haha, that was my lunch, and I’ve never tried any Clarins cosmetics, only some of their lovely bubble baths. Mmmmmm.
Sorry, I just noticed a typo in my email address. This is the correct one.
That is so beautiful! Hmm, today, I’ll post about the Dannon Greek yogurt I had for lunch. How is it fat free and yet so good? There were big chunks of strawberry, and the yogurt was so thick and rich. YUM! Of course, it’s not as good as full fat Greek yogurt, but that’s kind of like eating ice cream.
I love Clarin’s One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser! It smells like oranges and has just enough scrub, LOVE IT, perks me up immediately everytime I use it!
Wow Karen! What a beautiful giveaway! The packaging is so gorg! Clarins did a great job on this one!
I’m eating pizza, and it’s delicious!
Wow, you’re right. This palette is too pretty to touch! I’d probably stare at it for hours and it’ll take me a while before I gather the courage to touch it with my brush. ;P I haven’t had breakfast yet (late starter) so I’m going to make myself a mozzarella cheese sandwich. 🙂
Such a beautiful compact and a great giveaway.
Spam and rice was a staple of this filipino girl’s diet growing up! 😉
I love Clarin’s Beauty Flash Balm!
I’m drinking nestle pure life sparking lime water. i’ve never tried spam.
I never win anything! Seriously…not one thing in my life have I won. I hope I can win this CUTE palette 🙂
I think I’d just stare at it. It’s soo pretty! 🙂
The only thing I’ve paid attention to by Clarins is their 230 nailpolish. But this is making me reconsider checking out their current lineup!
Mmmm sandwiches. It’s time for lunch!
I love the holidays!!!
I’m supposed to be asleep right now, I’ve got school in a few hours but I literally CANNOT stop reading The Hunger Games. I thought I’d give it a try because of your latest poll! It’s ridiculously good!! I’m so happy too since I haven’t had a good read in such a long time, so thank you tons Karen!! 🙂
WOW, this is so lovely. I’ve never owned a Clarins product so I’d love to try this. It’s pasta for lunch…! Thanks for the awesome giveaways.
I’ve loving all of these giveaways! I
I have a body cream moisturizer that I also use for my face ! and it’s wonderful !
don’t tell, but I kind of like spam! Especially fried, lol. 🙂
I wonder how junk e-mail got the name “spam”… hmm.
Ewwwwww spam? I don’t even want to know what’s in it!
What a pretty pattern – it would be so hard to wreck it!
I think my fave Clarins product is the sunscreen for face!
We’re having a company potluck for lunch today, can’t wait! 🙂
Beautiful packaging! That is what always gets me to buy all the makeup, even if I don’t need it -_- HEY! but it’s perrrrty 🙂
wow! i have never seen something like this before, i love it 🙂
I have never tried any clarins product’s before but my neighbor swears by them, I would love to try out this gorgeous product! You are right it is almost too pretty to use…almost. hehehehe
Oh wow, this is gorgeous.
HI Karen,
Well, I don’t own any Clarins, but I used to have a lipgloss I got once visiting my home country (Peru), it was a pretty nice one, I wear it every single day until I run out, never repurchased …don’t know why. That face palette looks very pretty!!!!
SPAM??????? I LOVE SPAM, it is funny you mentioned it because I used to eat that when I visit my grandma in the Peruvian Amazonian region when I was a child. That region used to received lots of products from Europe (I guess the Amazon river is a port from the Atlantic?) like Spam and butter, etc, etc, etc…Anyway, I love it but I don’t eat it anymore-trying to lose weight – but I hear you put it in anything in Hawaii, is that right??? saw that in a Tv special, and that is just one of the reasons I want to visit Hawaii!!!
Wow I really think have stepped up their game recently ! This is really pretty
I own nothing by Clarins and would love this to be my first piece.
As for the Spam? Love it! I grew up eating it, my mom would glaze it with a mix of honey and orange juice and bake it in the oven. We used to eat it by itself by the slice with a side or thinly sliced on sandwiches. It’s also yummy fried!
I don’t have any Clarins product and I would love love love to try one! 🙂
Hello beauties! So I’m excited to be in the middle of the festive holiday season! I’m thinking of inviting my girls over for a fun gift exchange party. Is it rude to tell them to leave their dudes at home for this one??
I want shave ice! It’s cold and rainy here, and I wish I was in Hawaii!
i’ve got the ‘back to work after a great thanksgiving break’ blues 🙁 but winning this palette would cheer me up 🙂
i can’t believe it’s almost december already! where did the year go???
I would *LOVE* to try anything by Clarins but the price tag makes me cringe LOL So, here’s a chance! lol good luck everyone 🙂
Ou ou ou! This is on my wishlist! It really is so pretty I might be afraid to use it!
Lovely Palette! I love the eye kohls from Clarins.
LOL CANNED MEAT! Never tried it!
That looks beautiful!!!!! Would look stunning on my fair skin 🙂
oooh, that’s so pretty! That’s one thing I love about Clarins, everything always looks so pretty! I am on the hunt for the perfect gift for my 14 year old daughter today. She has no idea what she wants, her wish list is empty…so I’ll be hitting the stores looking for something to jump out at me. Wish me luck ya’ll lol
I have to go to class and it’s raining outside 🙁 At least I can look forward to delicious brie cheese and raspberries when I get back!
spam musubi is the best!
Ive been ogling this collection since it came out. It really is pretty. Loving most of the xmas collections this year :)x
I already got the gold nuggets powder and was quite disappointed it. I’d really love to try the face palette!
Don’t have anything from Clarins – waiting for it to launch in India 🙂
I love Baroque art. They have an awesome collection at the Met in NYC.
i’ve been eating a twix bar a day for the last month and i used to hate them! perhaps i’m cultivating something to put on my new yrs resolution list to break habit!
For my lunch break today I’ll be working hard on a project for my business class due tomorrow! I’m stressed to the max, but I keep telling myself I have 2 weeks until the end of this semester!
BTW, I LOVE spam. Especially with fried rice and eggs!! MMMM. But it does not beat corned beef.
I like spam. I miss it.
Wow.. that’s really pretty!! 🙂
Wow, Karen! You’re giving away such wonderful Xmas presents. I’d love this because Clarins in my part of Indianapolis hasn’t received their stock and the lady said that they might not get it at all!
Finished my Xmas shopping now trying to get around to wrapping it and shipping it to recipients abroad, sigh.
OMG I’m really loving this Clarins blush right now – the packaging is AMAZING soo pretty!!! I’ve never owned anything Clarins, but this just may make me start. BTW, my favorite mag is Glamour 🙂
That case is so beautiful that if I win, I’ll have to get a new purse to carry it in.
ooooo i want to get that.
I love bread. It’s delicious, especially when warm.
Is it pathetic that getting a really nice new glass nail file made my day? Perhaps. 🙂
This looks pretty!
How do u put this on for maximum benefit? do u just swirl the brush on the whole thing? or do u really use the two tones to your advantage in another way i wonder???
i want a brocade jacket…..the pattern on the powder reminded me of that 😛
Spam taste good with ramen 😀
I love the clarins lip products I’ve tried…very interested to try other stuff from them!
Karen, I’m so amazed by the places you’ve been to in the last few days, it’s so warm there and here is so cold 😛
kiss
I had some gyros for lunch… I accompanied my mum to a mall, so we had to eat something there. It was okay :).
Still searching for the perfect peach blush. Maybe this is it?!
I could mess up that pretty palette! Okay, it would be tough, but I could do it. 🙂
Just got back from Christmas shopping. Can’t remember which Lego Starwars set my son doesn’t have already…sigh
The packaging on this collection is almost too amazing. How do they expect you to use something that beautiful?
I’m such a sucker for metallic packaging…
I am a makeup junkie. I just am too busy to start off a blog about the things I bought. I just recently bought a group loads of stila and urban decay cosmetics.

Hi Karen….What an awesome face palette. I just have 1 Clarins product – Teint Eclat Mat Autofocus SPF 15 Oil-Free foundation or, in other words, Truly Matte Foundation Light Reflecting. I’m so excited that it’s 1st December.
Going to try and finally make a schedule that I can stick to. Including exercise!

I need this! My face is so pale and dull in the winter I look like a victim of Edward Cullen!
Also tweeted @PrimeBeauty50
I LOVE the Clarins glosses in the squeezy tubes. Totally non-sticky but with lots of pigment!
I love the Clarins blush that’s a candy pink gel, it gives me the perfect flush every time since it’s one of those groovy chemistry affected blushes.
Also, can I just say how much I love your blog? It’s awesome! Funny, informative, and just fun to read (:
P90X Plyo killed me today.

Ariana
I have wanted to try Clarins
the pittsburgh penguins won their game right after I posted my previous comment on another giveaway. Maybe this blog has magic powers 😀
That Barocco pallette *is* lovely!
Spam, the canned meat, huh? I must admit that I don’t really trust chopped meat-like product from a can. That said, I really enjoyed a canned corn beef and velveeta casserole in my youth. 🙂
My 25th Birthday is next fFriday. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that yet…..

makeupgirl21@comcast.net
I like my spam with rice and I recently had hot & spicy spam from Hawaii! It was really yummy!
It’s so pretty that I might not want to use it!
I stayed home today because of migraines (again)! Sleep time for me.
Sorry, i noticed a typo in my email!!!
i had a chicken burrito from el pollo loco for the first time today 🙂
wow another giveaway 🙂
sooo pretty! I’ve never tried anything from clarins.
Wow, this is beautiful! I’d be so sad to mess up that design though…
I LOVE Spam. Omg, I just figured out what I’m having for dinner tonight, Spam and eggs.
This is sooooo pretty!
The design on this palette is gorgeous
I’m currently trying to say “no” to my burrito temptations. I know soon it will turn into a “yes!”
Blah, weakness!
I can’t remember if we ate spam but I remember getting a stomach virus one time from eating deviled ham. I was SO sick and I remember thinking “this happened because it’s ham from the DEVIL!!!” Hahaha.
Anyway, hope I win! 🙂
shrimp tempura sushi for lunch! YUM (:
I tired spam once, I didn’t like it! I did, however, like bacon grill!
I’ve never tried Clarins, but would love to 😉
I just love the packaging, so very pretty!
I’ve only tried Clarins self tanning products, and I absolutely love the Liquid Bronze Self Tanner for Face & Decollete. I’m pretty pale (NC15) and this leaves me with a great glow that’s not too drastic.
I’ve always wanted to try spam musubi!
Yum! Fried spam sandwiches. Seriously, that is some really cool makeup.
Got Clarins Barocco Face Palette?
really hot weather today, lol. i wanna win this!
I just pulled my first all nighter. It wasn’t fun–especially with 8 AM classes the very next day.
That is one seriously gorgeous palette! I love the swirls and the peach-pink color seems super flattering! I wonder if the gold exterior is a magnet for fingertips though…
I never tried or owned a Clarins product, so Im looking forward to this blush! (:
i am loving horizon’s 1% organic chocolate milk at the moment. 😀
I Love your blog sooooooooooooooooo much!!!!
I have yet to use clarins makeup but I have used their cleansing products and I absolutly love their face wash, I have very sensitive skin I react easily and their product works for me!
I definitely recommend their face wash! =)
That packaging is beautiful!
I am gearing up for exam season now. This is a lovely compact!
That design is GORGEOUS! I would be reluctant to touch it and ruin that patten.
This is such a gorgeous face powder – I’d love to play with it. Or admire it all day 🙂
Love Clarins face primer it’s the best.
I have never tried Clarins before!
I treated myself to 5 MAC lipsticks today! Merry Christmas to me!
This looks so pretty! I’ve never tried Clarins makeup products so this is really exciting!
Love Clarins foundations – this looks great too
Gorgeous! Great giveaway Karen:)

I love peachy blushes! I feel they look the most natural on me. I’d love to try this.
This packing is so pretty! I love it.. i dont own ne clarins products. but would love too
i had the best dinner last night! tiger prawns, shrimp, fish and more fish! it was a seafood heaven 🙂
Clarins has come up with some really beautiful stuff this holiday!
Oh la la!
My favorite makeup product?
Urban Decay’s Midnight Cowboy Rides Again eyeshadow.
Why?
Simple!
I looove sparkles. They make me feel dynamic which gives me CONFIDENCE! A trait that every girl should be able to feel because thats what’s beautiful.
I had a tuna salat for lunch, it was really good . And OMFG that blusher is soooo pretty, I need it !! ;-))
That blush is GORG!! me wants!! 🙂
I’m dying for a body massage. My shoulders ache! And we’re not getting the Barocco collection here. Sigh…
wow this is a BEAUTIFUL product! i’d love to win this :).
I’d like to retire to an island made out of ice cream.
I had sushi for lunch today. Hope you’re having an awesome day Karen!
I’m thinking of what to cook for dinner. I hate hitting a rut in cooking!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Karen!
I wish I lived in the baroque times!
My favorite magazine is Marie Claire! Thanks so much for the chance! Love Clarins eyeliners and want to try more of their products 🙂
I got a root canal today. It hurts now.
Other than that, I’m never tried any Clarins products, and I’d like to!
I’ve wanted to try clarins for a while now!
I’m in the flow with work today – weird, this has never happened in a long time. 🙂
Now that the weather’s gotten much colder here in Memphis, really been craving soup!
sadly, I am not into Clarins at all for now. Use to buy their skincare line but found it overpriced and not that efficient. That said this blush is beautiful 🙂
Ugh, I just read a comment about someone eating a delicious pizza, and I WANT! Except, I can’t because I just had dental surgery and can only eat cold liquids. Pizza…pizza…pizza………..mmm.
I’ve never tried Clarin’s before but was awfully tempted to get that cheek gel colour thing… I’m bummed that I didn’t pick it up which I was able!
I’ve only tried 1 Clarins product and it was a sunscreen for sensitive skin.
To continue w/ the food theme–I had delicious Indian food tonight! I also lost all (literally, I only have a lipstick left) of my makeup in dance class the other day, too, and lost my shoe brush and two costumes–but the makeup devastates me the mostest 🙁
Ooohhh this is so gorgeous.
aw gurl thats purdy!
That is gorgeous!
Yes, I want to win! 🙂
Never tried Clarins, but this would be a lovely time to try it out 😀
Love Clarins. I’ve been a loyal fan of their skin care line for awhile
Just watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show right now!
Love Clarin’s body lotion!
I love baroque music! XD
This is beautiful!!!! I wish i could having a matching wardrobe to this!
Spam is delicious! I like it grilled with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce and some Tobasco inside an onigiri (rice ball).
That palette is so pretty. I’ve never used any products/makeup from Clarins in my life. Would love to win!
OMG the packaging is fab!
That packaging is gorgeous!
love your kitty!!!
Allure magazine jsut asked me if I liked your blog…If I win this, I will love you all the more. LOL. I have never tried Clarins makeup!
I love Clarins self-tanner, and I’ve been wanting to try their make-up.
Hey karen, I’m interested in trying clarins’ new lipsticks – they look awesome!
The packaging and presentation is beautiful!
love your blog!
For lunch today I finally finished leftover turkey topped with cranberry sauce–yum, yum, and more YUM! plus a banana and rice pudding. I have simple but picky tastes.
It’s starting to feel like Christmas!
just finished watching the victoria’s secret fashion show………… so jealous!!!!
Hi Karen.. great giveaway ! I love reading your adventures with Tabs.. today i’m doing just that at my desk at work eating random chinese takeout.. My 2 feline friends are nowhere as diva like, but then again this morning my Dimitri tried to attack my makeup brushes and fell on his a$$ when the container holding them toppled beneath his weight.. so i’m not sure he’s actually a cat..
Any, love Clarins’ flash beauty balm.. great for hiding after-party eye bags when you have a 9am meeting the next day 🙂
Mmm, Clarins… So far my Clarins collection is limited to a moisturizer – but make no doubt, it truly is spectacular. Hopefully, I will end up being the proud owner of more of their products come December 25th, but for now I’m happy to have a miraculous face cream.
Hey Karen, Thanks for yet another awesome giveaway! Would you really apply this palette to the whole face though or just as a blush? (or is it too sheer?)
this is a great giveaway
I love the holidays!!!
The packaging so beautiful!
ive never tried spam and i dont want to. haha it sounds horrid!
This palette is almost too beautiful to be used! I’m sure I will be cringing the first time I dip my brush into this .. lol..
by the way.. i love spam.. it goes great on cream crackers.. MMMmmmh!
What a beautiful color and design! Btw, I just succeed cooking ox-tail soup, hehe xD This is my first time
My favourite Clarin’s product which literally saved my pimple-prone skin is their lotus oil for combination/oily skin. How ironic that oil actually prevents pimples better than benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid ever did.
I hope you’re having a great Hawaiian vacation!
The biggest thing I miss about my family’s Hawaiian vacations (besides seeing family) are the Pikake flowers!
=D
This looks so pretty!! Thanks for the contest!
Spam musuuuuuubiiiiii! Delish!!
I have been spending my time trying to wait out a snowstorm by looking at makeup and studying for finals. It’s actually not been too bad except for having to drive in it. Thank goodness for the boyfriend and the hot tub in these cold times!
total packaging porn <3

I just finished pampering myself with a yoghurt and honey mask and some more glow couldn’t hurt 😀 thanks for another great giveaway 🙂
I am drooling…
i feel like clarins is over looked compared to other makeup brands – but most everyone i’ve shown it to quickly become fans
I’m Filipino so I love spam! I love it fried and with rice
Count me in, let me win. 😉
oo I love the color and packaging 😀
So far I have one lipstick by Clarins and I absolutely love it :).
This palette is gorgeous! Never seen Clarins season editions in Ukraine. Only the main things.
Loving the design!
Lol @ T-Money and K-dawg 🙂 Totally funny!
I’ve never tried Clarins makeup, though I’ve been a long-time fan of their skincare line

I’m getting married in 10 days!!!
I am so addicted to your blog!
For lunch I made pasta with canned tuna and other goodies, a tabs-approved meal I would guess!
It seems to be sunny today, which is quite rare lately. Hope you have a good day
Its just soooo gorgeous!
It’s snowing over here in the UK Karen..Right now it’s more like a blizzard! I hope it’s rather warmer where you are!
This palette is beautiful!!!
Love the Clarins toner for dry/sensitive skin – Its the yellow one – Think its called Comfort Lotion..
I was wandering around Shoppers Drugmart and I came upon a Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel. Its a unique gel in the tube that “melts” to an oil when applied to your face. Didn’t actually end up getting it but would be interested to hear if you or anyone you know has tried it!
I’ve never tried Clarins but I’d like to!!
thank you..thank you for the giveaway ^^
I’m feeling sad today because I have no Advent Calendar this year 🙁
I read an article in the Huffington Post today about a study that showed that men first look at the LIPS before any other body part and even longer at RED LIPS
Gorgeous!!
I felt really sorry for my poor doggie yesterday. She’s a big tough dog, but because she was a bit ill she started shaking from the cold 🙁 (its freezing here in holland)
So I decided to snuggle up against her and wrap us in a big warm fuzzy blanket. I’ve never seen such sweet thankfull eyes!!!
The packaging on this is gorgeous! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I’m not sure if I entered already. So I checked, and couldn’t find my comment. So I re-enter. Sorry if I missed it. 😉
Anyway, 50cm of snow fell during the night, it’s beautiful!
Bwaaahh, me again. This time, I messed up my email adress. Here’s the right one. 🙂
I think I’m distracted by the snow. ^^
Having chinese for lunch today, yum!
Ohhhhhh! What a beautiful compact! Love the design!
I love Clarins products. The quality and performance can’t be beat and this is expecially beautiful.
Also done a blogpost on it;

i had french toast for lunch yesterday!!
I love the new rouge prodige lipsticks. They are long-lasting but not drying. I must have bought about 6 of them already….
I am looking forward to this weekend, meeting my best friend for lunch, then shopping!
Thanks for the giveaway, hope you have a great week!
Going to Macy’s for F&F sale at lunch today!

i started to read your blog about 2 years ago, and since that time – every evening i got the new posts from you on my email. Love your site a lot. Could be great to win something in your giveaway!
I’ve never tried Clarins, but this is gorgeous!
This palette is enchanting! Reminds me of my art history books.
And hey, I’m going to Macy’s F&F too! It doesn’t apply to cosmetics here though (Northern Cali)
🙁
This palette looks gorgeous!
All the moistures in Clarins are gorgeous…

I’ve never owned anything from clarins but this looks amaaaazing!

“So far, 337 people have commented on this article. How cool is that?”
Wow that must be a hard job to pick a winner for you and Tabs! But yea that’s cool
Hi, Caro. 🙂 It’s actually not hard at all. The winner is picked by random, so your chances are as good as anyone’s (did you also tweet an entry on Twitter?). Good luck!
what up, t-money and k-dawg! *waves*
deep fried pickles are amazing!
Clarins Barocco Face Palette= Raspberry Paradise Sorbet on my face…me likelyyyyy!
So cute +_+
i’ve never tried any clarins product before..
That has to be one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen!
I hear the Clarins self-tanners are great!
Wow, I love the packaging and the color! Thanks for the giveaway!
this pallet is so gorgeous!
The packaging is ubercute <3
what a beautiful thing!!! love the color!
I had a burger and fries for lunch today it was delicious! 😉
I could really get a lot of use out of this during the holidays! 🙂
I adore the new Clarins Prodige lipsticks – I bought the shade ‘Nude’ duty free last time I was on vacation, and since I’ve been planning to branch out to more products of theirs. Would love to try this powder, but I’m also interested in their red lipstick for the season, looks really festive.
spinach salad!
Beautiful packaging! I haven’t tried any Clarins pruduct, simply because they’re way too expensive for me. But I’d love to.
I have only tried the Multi-Active day moisturizer from Clarins, but I didn’t really notice anything out of the ordinary after using that. Thanks for this giveaway!
This looks beautiful!
I never tried Clarins products!
I cant wait to try Clarins!
wow that is one helluva pretty palette 🙂
I love Clarins!!!!!
I promise to give this beautiful peoduct to a verry dersetving home, if it does not work with my skintone. Lovely peoduct
I have never tried anything from Clarins, but I really want to. I always try to save my money for the expensive stuff but somehow always end up throwing it away on a bunch of i don’t know what.
I’m trying my very hardest to convince hubz to buy me a new Ikea wardrobe, but it’s not looking very promising.
I love spam
when i can
my mum instilled this lifelong horror of canned foods so I don’t get to eat them much unless i’m visiting people and the dinner table happens to have a chunk. thanks for the giveaway!
I’m too Barocco to afford this, but it’s so pretty!!!
i want!
Hope you’re having a great time in Hawaii!
I got the flu shot yesterday –$30! UGH
And my arm still hurts… sigh. At least I’m modestly protected from H1N1 and other flu forms I suppose… 🙂
Btw, thanks for the giveaway! (Even though I never seem to win any! LOL)
I love love clarins true radiance foundation!!!! very natural finish, very glowy dewy look!!!
Being sick is not fun. Not fun at all.
You had me at “golden peachy pink.” 😀
Some day I hope to try spam sushi. I hear it’s pretty good!
I’ve actually managed to avoid eating SPAM so far! But I totally recommend listening to the Save Ferris song “SPAM” if you haven’t heard it already 🙂
SPAM! It’s pink and it’s oval
SPAM! I buy it at the Mobil
SPAM! It’s made in Chernobyl
SPAM!
And, of course, the Monty Python SPAM song…
I wonder if there are any other SPAM songs?
And a fun SPAM fact – “SPAM” is a portmanteau of “Spiced Ham”. Don’t know why it’s in all caps, though.
I’ve never tried Clarin’s products, I skipped lunch today and I suspect that SPAM is nasty. I’d love to try new products esp. for free but I’ll pass on the SPAM if it’s all the same to you.
The packaging is quite beautiful!
I would love to win this… it looks so gorgeous… this would be a perfect color for me. If I win this -it will also be my first Clarins makeup product. It would be great to try it. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity….
This is amazing (: I love it !
I’ve been so tired and busy stressing about finals that I haven’t had time to put on anything other than mascara and concealer every morning! I can’t wait for the holidays.
That pattern is absolutely amazing… also, for lunch today I had avocado and cream cheese on crackers. Yum!
I’ve never tried Clarin’s before!
I’m excited for this weekend where I’ll get to spend some time in Philadelphia! I miss living a city life!
I don’t no what i’m going to do for lunch. It’s snowing over here and I rather not leave the house. So I will have to go search my freezer, suppycloset and cabinets to see if there is anything that I can use for my lunch. Maybe I’ll will find some pizza or lasagne! And if not, I will have to put on my big scar gloves and thick coat and go out to the supermarket.
loooooooooooooove it!!!!
this is making me long for spring! oh winter..you are too harsh for bronzers and blushes. please go away so i can sunbathe again!
Well…I just found out today that I passed Law school! So I feel like a freebie would be a wonderful way to celebrate 🙂 love your reviews!
spam is one of my comfort foods. the other is ice cream. but i haven’t tried eating them together. 🙂

I never tried Clarins make up but anything peachy-pink has my immediate attention. Sounds lovely.
Random comment: trying brow wax for the first time today and I don’t think I’m doing it right. In fact, my brows are worse, when they get out of place they now stay out of place because of the wax… I don’t think I’m putting enough on but I don’t want to overdo it.
i’ve never used anything by clarins, but it would be lovely to try. 🙂
I love this time of the year and peppermint bark.
they don’t have this in Norway! so sad
I never used Clarins makeup before. This will be lovely to try!
happy 2nd night of channukah!
wow this powder looks so amazing ! I would love to win it and try it on 🙂 <3
I’ve never used Clarins products before. Would love to give them a try.
Only one more day til the weekend!
This blush is sooo pretty! I’ve heard great things about Clarins for skincare, I never realized they have makeup as well!!
Spam? I’ve never had it! 😀 (probably because I’m a vegetarian LOL)
plans for today are cleaning, so I can go over to my bff’s house for her birthday tomorrow. <3
OMG……cookie!!!!
I haven’t ever tried clarins products. (( But I ‘ d love to )))
My fav Clarins product is instant smooth primer. It’s the best makeup primer I’ve ever tried
Mmm, this is gorgeous! Never tried Clarin’s but this blush is really speaking to me!
Some warm, potatao soup sounds yummy right now! Panera is calling me!
I have been using the Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care SPF 30 to prevent my eyes from crows feet. =]
I don’t own any Clarins products but this product is beaaaautiul!
