Collections: Clarins Skincare

This is my collection of Clarins skincare. I really like using Clarins - it doesn't dry or irritate my skin.

Some products were bought in Australia, some were bought in Italy and some were gift with purchase.

Collective Haul! Strawberrynet

I've bought quite a few items from Strawberrynet.com this year so I thought I'd do a collective haul showing what I've bought.

First I bought the DiorSkin Forever foundation compact. I asked a friend at work what she uses and she showed me her compact and told me it was also recommended to her. I use it over foundation but it can also be used without. Also, I apply it with a powder brush but it comes with a sponge applicator.

 

I was bored with the body washes I normally buy at the chemist or supermarket so I thought I'd give these a go.

 

 

 

The blue H2O+ Clearwater shower and bath gel smells, for the lack of a better word, clean. I bought this shower and bath gel because it was the cheaper of the three. I'm using this one at the moment.

The orange H2O+ Blushing Orange shower and bath gel smells like lemon peel and orange in a soap. I bought this shower and bath gel because it came up as the most popular.

The yellow H2O+ Kiwi-Cassis bath and shower gel smells like citris and berries together in a soap. I bought this shower and bath gel, well, because it was yellow and our bathroom is black and white with yellow hand towels and knick-knacks. It is my favourite of the three.

I was, like every winter, having problems with dry skin around my nose so, after being recommended it, I bought the Ella Bache Hydra Repulp. I apply it to any dry patches after exfoliating.

 

Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour Blush. See my review here :)

I ran out of my Loreal Base Magique primer about 2 months ago and have been waiting until I read a good review on another primer so I could do a buy and try. Kaye at Beautiful Kayekie says that her go-to primer is the Smashbox Photo Finish and she lives in humid climate so surely this primer has stood the test of time (or should I say climate), right!? So I've bought Smashbox Beauty to Go which has a 30ml and a 15ml of this primer.

Khiel's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate Review

I got this for my birthday in March and had been using it on and off hoping that by doing so it would still work and last longer than using it twice a day as suggested on the bottle. There was no real difference to be seen by this method.

However recently my skin had become very dry and dull so I decided to use this product as intended and it has made such a dramatic difference in the appearance and feel on my skin.

The first thing I noticed was that my skin felt smoother, softer and more plump - it hadn't felt like that in ages. I was so intrigued by the smoothness that I got out of bed and looked at my skin in the mirror and lo-and-behold my skin looked clearer and more radiant. Awesome!

I can't say I have noticed a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles but it's only been 4 weeks since I started using this product properly. I get sub-orbitals wrinkles and creases on my cheeks next to my nose from sleeping on my face and I massage them out with my my ritual facial massages because, even though they are barely noticable, I'm scared they're becoming permanent. I must learn to sleep on my back or repurchase the silk eye mask I raved about last year. I miss that mask, to make a long story short I left it on an Emirates aeroplane :(

Anyway...

I'm sure that by the skin feeling more plump the wrinkles are 'pushed out' or the writing on the bottle means that the decrease in the appearance of wrinkles refers to the appearance of wrinkles that would appear over ones lifetime.

This product contains 10.5% Vitamin C which, a powerful antioxidant and claims to noticeably decrease the appearance of marionette lines, crows feet and sub-orbitals wrinkles while improving skin texture and radiance.

You can buy this product from Strawberrynet.com, which is where this was purchased :)
