Clarins Limited Edition Summer Bronzing Compact

I love a Clarins bronzer and one of the launches from their summer limited edition collection is a VERY gorgeous bronzer indeed!

This year’s summer sunkissed make-up collection features products adorned in a range of fabulous motifs such as flamingos, palm trees and a palette of bright colours inspired by Miami’s sun drenched beaches.

Think tanned skin, turquoise eyeliners and vibrant pink lips. It’s a strong look.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this year’s GORGOEUS Limited Edition Bronzing Compact (£31) and once you’ve seen my photos I’m pretty sure you’ll be in love too!

This generously sized, caramel compact case is decorated with pink flamingos and palms- a colourful, fun design that evokes images of tropical summer days!

Open the case to reveal an equally fabulous palette within! This maxi-size bronzer contains a harmony of three different matte bronze shades which have been designed to compliment and flatter all skin tones.

There’s a light-mid bronze, a mid bronze and a deeper bronze, all of which have been embossed beautifully with the image of a lone flamingo and more palms.

I love powders that have been embossed as they look so stunning but it also makes me reluctant to use the palette as I don’t want to spoil the pretty picture!

The three shades can be used individually or swished together to create a variety of bespoke looks depending on your desired overall appearance.

The soft, silky powder is super finely milled without a hint of shimmer which I LOVE as I’m all about matte bronzers.

The formula itself contains Clarins’ Anti-Pollution Complex, Light Optimising+ Complex and Micropatch Vegetal which help to look after your complexion and maintain your skin’s natural hydration.

Its bloody brilliant if you ask me- a bronzer that not only boosts your luminosity and cares for your skin but also effortlessly allows you to create a beautiful, sun kissed look. 

I haven’t even had a chance yet to mention its glorious, luxurious and soft scent which is just another element to this product that I adore. It smells lush!

Clarins’ Limited Edition Bronzing Compact is available now and costs £31.

Clarins Limited Edition Acquatic Treasures Summer Bronzing Compact

A decent bronzer is a not just a summer must have but an all year must have in my opinion.

That said, summer gives you the opportunity to use it more liberally, whether you are lucky enough to catch a few rays or if you fake it!

Clarins have created possibly one of the most gorgeous bronzers for summer 2015 in the form of their Limited Edition Acquatic Treasures Summer Bronzing Compact (£30).

Embossed with an intricate marine inspired motif, this stunning palette is designed to warm your complexion, adding luminosity to your skin.

The compact contains four matte shades from beige to terracotta which together blend perfectly to create a lovely warming bronze which compliments all skin tones.

There’s not a hint of shimmer or sparkle which  I LOVE, and the multi tonal shades stop the bronzer from looking too heavy, orange or dark on my skin which is obviously a winner.

Another one of the things I love about this little gem is how it is so much more than just a bronzer.

It contains Clarins’ anti pollution complex, light optimising complex and plant micropatch, all of which help to maintain skins natural hydration, so you feel like you’re looking after your skin while beautifying it!

The new Limited Edition Acquatic Treasures Summer Bronzing Compact will be available from May and will cost £30.

Clarins Limited Edition Colours Of Brazil Collection

This May sees the launch of Clarins’ new Summer make up collection, and it’s a stunning one let me tell you!

Be whisked away on an exotic journey to colourful Brazil, a region known for its playful colour and prints. 

The stunning range features sensual embellishments, where rich gold’s and bronze’s are designed to reflect the sandy beaches of Brazil and bright blues and coral mirror the beautiful sea. 

 One of my favourite items from the collection is the Limited Edition Summer Bronzing Compact (£30).

I am a sucker for pretty products and this is certainly pretty!

This utterly gorgeous palette is perfect for all skin tones thanks to the array of multi tonal shades within.

It is a gorgeously warm, matte bronzer that gives your skin the perfect amount of luminosity and bronzed glow without appearing too orange!

It is silky soft on your skin and applies evenly, leaving your skin look healthy, luminous and sun kissed.

It is beautifully embossed with a South American inspired motif and when applied to your skin, reveals a hint of a delicate fragrance which smells like summer!

 The new Limited Edition Colours of Brazil Quartet and Eye Liner Palette (£32) is my other favourite item from the collection.

Like the bronzer, this palette also features similar South American inspired embossing across the four wet and dry eyeshadows and eyeliner.

 

The palette features two matte and two satin shadows, in warming browns, golds and a stunning coral! The combination of matte and satin shadows allows you to create a really dynamic look with depth and richness.

As for the eyeliner, WOW! It is a rich royal blue which reminds me of a colour you’d find Cleopatra wearing! It’s gorgeous!

 Each shade is fabulously pigmented and really easy to blend and build, allowing you to create a subtle summer time look or a more bold and bright one, depending on your mood.

Clarins new Colours of Brazil collection will be available from May, just in time for you stock up before summer!
