Clarins Neo Pastel Collection (Spring 2011)

Spring is here and with it happiness and optimism, a chance to enjoy the moment and its simple pleasures.

Clarins celebrates with subtle pastels, worked in half-tones, for a poetic, romantic make-up look… soft, light pastels that glow with a halo of light which rekindles desire and emotion.
This spring the Clarins woman has a natural, timeless elegance. She favours refined hues, exceptional materials and precious tones inspired by the art of watercolourists. Her complexion is bright and luminous, subtly sculpted, her lips are naturally enhanced and her eyes dressed in soft monochromes.

 BLUSH PRODIGE ILLUMINATING CHEEK COLOUR

Six sumptuous colour harmonies, in complementary shade pairs, to give the cheekbones both colour and
light: a matte shade to sculpt the face and an iridescent one to highlight facial contours as it catches the light.
Its plus: a new generation texture that includes mineral pigments and plant extracts – bamboo powder and
tomato extract – to guarantee a radiant, healthy glow. Silky to the touch and extremely lightweight and comfortable, the texture of Blush Prodige delivers endless colour variations, with luminous, long-lasting
results and an even, natural make-up look.

INSTANT SMOOTH LINE CORRECTING CONCENTRATE

In 2006, Clarins created a buzz with a small red jar: with several million already sold across the world, Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch is the must-have magic, invisible make-up base for women which, in a single step, smoothes away lines and enlarged pores to deliver flawlessly beautiful skin.
Today, Clarins has used the same concept to create Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate. In one click, this clever pen releases a texture enriched with Dermaxyl®, a line-repairing peptide. Its highprecision tip ensures targeted application at the heart of the wrinkle, for optimal effectiveness. Skin appears instantly smoother, and more even. The result is spectacular and long-lasting. A smart product that guarantees a totally flawless finish and will quickly become a make-up must-have.

NEO PASTELS EYE COLOUR AND LINER PALETTE (LIMITED EDITION)

Simply follow your inspiration… like a watercolour palette, six eye shadows in subtle, delicate tones,
in three monochrome harmonies: browns, pinks and violets. Their specially designed texture can be applied dry for a more subtle make-up look, or with a damp applicator for a more intense result.
Any colour combination is possible, to create any look you prefer. To enhance make-up and give eyes more depth, a black eyeliner is included in the palette.

Rectangular light gold flat case, with Clarins signature. It contains a double applicator – a foam end for eye shadow and a brush end for the eyeliner.

ROUGE HYDRA NUDE SOOTHING CREAM LIPSTICK (LIMITED EDITION)

Never before has a lipstick offered such skin care benefits. Clarins Laboratories have used all their expertise to create the innovative formula of Rouge Hydra Nude. Formulated with skin care benefits this new generation lipstick transforms into a cream on contact with lips. It glides on perfectly, for easy application and a perfectly defined lip contour. Thanks to high-performance skin care ingredients, Rouge Hydra Nude is the lipstick all women have been dreaming of: it moisturizes and nourishes lips, repairs and protects them, while smoothing and enhancing their beauty with natural tones.


PRESENTATION:
Rouge Hydra Nude is presented in very elegant packaging, with a light gold base and translucent lid that matches the shade of the lipstick. The lid is stamped with the Clarins leaf and letter C.

I really look forward to this collection, especially the lipstick the model is wearing in the promo image (which is in shade 01, Nude Rose) and the Eye Colour and Liner palette.
What do you make-up fiends think? :)
