Must Try Makeup: Clarins Barocco Beauty for Holiday

By TheGlamtastic · December 13, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

I love new makeup, who doesn't? New color palettes, new eye shimmers, lip shades, face powder - I love trashing the old, mutilated makeup and replenishing my stash with sexy new shades for the holidays.


When I discovered Clarins Barocoo Collection, I instantly fell for the seductive palettes, the golden shimmers, the metallic mixture and raven black eye color. Smokey eye anyone?


This is one of those super chic, inexpensive makeup must-haves that can help you revamp your look for the holidays without breaking the bank. LOVE!


Vamp up your lips, mark your eyes with mysterious shadow and enhance your look with shimmer with a hint of blush.

Clarins Must-Have Holiday Miracle: The Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base

By TheGlamtastic · December 2, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

Packing for my Thanksgiving weekend in NJ solidified what I already knew...I slightly overpack and frequently bring the wrong items with me. Hello, where are my socks? Favorite sweatshirt?


My motto is bring everything - spare nothing! However, when my suitcase looks like it may burst at any moment, it's time to remove a pair of shoes or two.


What skin-saver is not leaving my carry-on bag? Oh, just a little beauty essential that I discovered called Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base.

I have a Cinderella skin tone, so the majority of under eye concealers appear to make me look like I just left a tanning bed, but not this one. Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base blends easily with a super smooth finish. Application is seamless with Clarins' soft brush. I love that the applicator is attached and I give it a quick rinse after each usage.


This creamy, long-lasting formula leaves my under eye area moisturized and free from dark circles. Now, that's what I call a holiday miracle!


What's your latest beauty miracle?


*Please note: I did receive an editoral sample to test, however I only write about the products I love and truly believe in.

Wake Up Your Skin with Clarins Super Restorative Wake-Up Lotion

A Wake Up Call For Your Skin 
The alarm goes off at 5:30 am..ugghh....If I had a snooze button on my Blackberry alarm I would hit it, but sadly I don't! I crawl out of bed, head to the "family room" and turn it off.

Getting my body up and out the door early in the morning is never easy. Waking my skin up? Now, that's another story...

I recently discovered Clarins Super Restorative Wake-Up Lotion to help refresh and renew my tired and dull morning look. Like a large latte for the skin, this super-charged skin care treatment wakes up tired facial skin with a combination of ginseng and green coffee. Hibiscus flower extracts work to rid the skin of impurities and Pueraria Lobata rejuvenates the skin, stimulating cell turnover. This calming toner helps to reduce puffiness and smooth fine lines. 

Apply this lightweight toner with a cotton ball and tap or dab onto the skin, while avoiding the eye area. 

Now I wish my body would wake up as quickly as my skin! 

What gets you going in the morning?
