BEAUTY: CLARINS BB SKIN DETOX FLUID REVIEW




So, i've been using the Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid pretty much every single day since it came through my letter box! I've been so impressed with it that it's easily become my everyday foundation. 
I have to say i'm a huge Clarins fan and I love using their skincare and make up. I'm not normally a fan of BB creams however I found this to be unlike a BB cream. 

The formula is quite thick for a BB cream but it blends into the skin so easily and effortlessly. It blends really well and doesn't leave your skin patchy. The coverage is so good but still natural, I still use a concealer under my eye and on my blemishes but there's so need to sweep your face in concealer because the coverage is good and will cover any redness / uneven skin tone. The product leaves the skin feeling so hydrated and radiant and it lasts all day. It dries into the skin fast as well which means you can apply your bronzer and other products pretty much straight away. 

I apply the product with a stippling style brush however the website tells you to apply with your hands. It says to let the product melt into your hands and apply and then pat into the skin however I didn't like the finish when I applied it this way. I found using my usual foundation brush works well for me. I think if you use a beauty blender this would work well too! I like that this product has a pump and I really love the packaging! 

You can pick this up from your local Clarins counter or via the website here, Clarins RRP: £30

BEAUTY: MY MONTHLY FAVOURITES



I haven't done a monthly favourites for a little while and i've been giving a few new products ago so thought i'd share some of my faves!

I've been giving the new BB cream from Clarins a try and it's amazing. It's a nice lightweight product but has really good coverage. It's so easy to blend and a really lovely finish.

I haven't wore blusher for soo long but i've been wearing my Nars Deep Throat blusher loads recently just to add that little pop of colour to my cheeks.

The Two Faced Chocolate palette is one of my favourites, i've been reaching for it alot recently. There's just so many different colours inside to choose from. There's a mixture of mattes and shimmers making it a great palette. Inside theres some gorgeous bronze shades and there's an amazing reddy/purple shade.

I really like the Rosie for Autograph range from M&S i've been using the Cream Eyeshadow sticks alot recently. They are so handy for a quick sweep of colour. They blend out easily and are so pigmented and available is lots of different shades.

The Urban Decay Primer Potion is an everyday staple for me. I tend to switch between the original and it in Sin. They are amazing, it makes your eyeshadow look better and last longer.

I've been using the New Clarins Surpa Volume mascara it gives amazing volume aswell as length. You don't need to add loads and loads of layers it's such an amazing mascara, i'm so impressed with this.

The NYX Micro brow pencil has been my go to brow product this month, its so easy to use and great for an everyday natural brow. I've also been using the Benefit Goof Proof pencil which I got in Elle magazine.

The Becca highlighter in Champagne Pop is my go to highlighter, I literally use it every single day, it's the best highlighter i've ever owned. It's so easy to apply and i've only just hit the pan, i've had it for awhile so it's lasted really well.

I've been trying to use some of my other lipsticks as i've been using Velvet Teddy like every single day. I've been loving my latest Mac Lipstick which is Whirl. It's another matte finish but it's darker than my usual nude shades. I love it though, it's a more sexy colour.

Finally the NYX soft matte lip cream in Stockholm which is a lovely pink/ nude shade. It applies easily and again I have been trying to use some of my other lip colours. The NYX soft matte lip creams are a really lovely formula and I think I might need to get a few more shades.


These have been my favourites this month, I've pretty much reached for these products since i've been back from Turkey. What are your monthly favourites?

BEAUTY: AUTUMN MAKE UP RELEASES FROM CLARINS




Hello,  today i'm going to share some upcoming releases from Clarins that will be out in a few weeks.
This is a few new releases from the Autumn range, I thought i'd share my first impressions and i'll review them in full once i've used them all properly.

First up is my favourite product from the range which is the BB skin detox fluid, i've been using this for about a week and i'm really impressed with it. I went for the shade light as i've just got back from Turkey so i've got a tan. I did think this was going to be a little bit dark when I first swatched it but it's a perfect match. It blends so well and gives a gorgeous all over colour. Enriched with acerola seed which encourages skin oxygenation, meadowsweet extract to help maintains skins balance and aloe vera extract and hydraluronic acid complex to provide all day hydration. It also has spf 25 so it's great for everyday!

Next up the eyeshadow palettes, there is going to be 4 new palettes in the Autumn range. I have two of them here. I have 01 nude and 03 brown theres also 02 rosewood and 04 Oud ( Harrods & Selfridges Exclusive)
I always love the Clarins Eyeshaows, you can use these both wet and dry. They have a gorgeous selection of colours these are perfect for creating a smokey eye. There's a selection of Matte, satin and pearlescent shades in each palette which are easy to build up for a more dramatic eye look.

Finally theres a new mascara in the range too. This is the Supra Volume mascara which looks so good. I like a big fat brush to add volume to my lashes, i'm so excited to give this a try!! It will also be avaliable in brown.


These products will be avalible in August so keep and eye on the Clarins website for their new collection. The summer range is still avaliable so check that out now!
