Clarins Opalescence Spring 2014 Color Collection & Skincare

With Spring in full swing I am excited to try out Clarins Opalascence Spring Color Collection. It celebrates this happy season with a harmony of delicate, luminous colors. As the weather turns milder, I am inspired to lighten my look and turn to a more fresh and soft look which is exactly what this collection offers. It’s delicate, romantic, and bursting with freshness. For skincare they also make great face and body sunscreens and recently launched their Double Serum which I think is amazing! With so much to summarize I will mention all their new Spring products at the bottom, and highlight below my favorites and those I think best for Asian skin.

Double Serum – $115 (1.6oz)
Powered by 20 pure plant extracts and potent, high-tech molecules this serum’s innovative, dual chamber system combines two age-defying formulas into one groundbreaking serum that reactivates our skin’s most important function; these are hydration, nutrition, oxygenation, regeneration, and protection. This serum delivers its claims and after about 4 weeks women reported firmer skin, reduced wrinkles, more even skin tone and less visible pores.

Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base – $37
This is one of my favorite products by Clarins. The moisturizing formula illuminates and corrects your skin tone while hydrating, soothing and brightening your skin. It’s available in two different formulas depending on what you are trying to achieve, whether you need to cover redness or just want to brighten your gorgeous skin. These two shades are Rose, which brightens and can be used for all skin tones/complexions and Champagne which corrects redness.

Opalescence Face & Blush Powder – Limited Edition $40
This is an amazing silky blush, great for Asian complexions because it illuminates skin tone and promotes a flawless complexion, one of our biggest concerns. I consists of a trio of warm luminous shades which can be swept over the face together or applied separately to highlight and create a rosy glow. It is great for all skin types and is also mattifying for those with oily skin.

Cream Blush – $30
This multi use blush can be used for cheeks as well as lips! I love items that are multifunctional, especially great for travel or a small clutch. The cream to powder blush is super creamy and glides on smoothly leaving a light, fresh, natural looking finish. I love its ingredients which features a blend of rose, mimosa, jojoba and sunflower waxes to moisturize and protect your skin from dehydration and vitamin E to guard against free radical damage. It is available in Peach, Candy, Grenadine, and Rosewood.
