Clarins 'Gloss & Perfect' Instant Light Lip Perfector Trio (Limited Edition) ($69 Value for $43.00). Gloss and Perfect with three gorgeous shades of Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector that bring you color plus 3D shine for the look of luscious, just-kissed lips. I reviewed Petal Shimmer 04 here, and remain madly in love with it! I want every shade! Shades include: Rose Shimmer 01, Petal Shimmer 04 and Rosewood Shimmer 06. Three full size glosses for the price of two is an extraordinary value.
Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors are among my very favorite lip glosses. They are nourishing, hydrating and extremely comfortable to wear.
Clarins 'UV Plus HP' Multi-Protection Day Screen SPF 40 ($25.00 for 1 oz. and $41.00 for 1.7 oz.): This remains one of my all time favorite Holy Grail sunscreens, and I reviewed it here.
Protect against sun, pollution and daily stresses, so you can face the day without a care. Compatible with all skin care products, UV Plus HP is applied after day care and before make-up.
- Triple protection against UVA/UVB rays, pollution and free radicals.
- SPF 40, non-chemical, 100% mineral filters day screen.
- Ultra lightweight formula that easily blends into the skin.
- Oil-free.
Key ingredients: Cantaloupe melon extract contains an exceptional concentration of super oxide dismutase, an antioxidative enzyme that neutralizes the harmful effects of free radicals on skin. 100% mineral UVA/UVB filters guarantee high protection while respecting the skin. Plant polymers create an invisible veil on the skin, letting it breathe without leaving white traces.
Clarins 'Tonic' Body Treatment Oil ($57.00 for 3.5 oz. of magic): Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil is the brand’s best-selling body oil. It contains 100% pure plant extracts of rosemary, geranium and mint, which work together to help firm, tone and improve elasticity while smoothing the appearance of stretch marks and hazelnut oil, which softens, soothes and locks in moisture. The aromatic natural botanicals elevate the sense of a total feeling of well-being.
What can I say, this oil smells delectable, feels amazing on the skin, and it leaves skin scrumptiously soft, supple and moisturized. I am in love with this golden elixir!
Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover ($28.00 for 4.2 oz.): An extremely gentle eye-makeup remover is specially formulated to quickly and easily remove heavy makeup and waterproof mascara. Suitable for even the most sensitive eyes and/or contact lens wearers. This is one of the few eye makeup removers that is gentle enough not to bother my sensitive eyes, but mighty enough to get every bit of even the most tenacious waterproof formulas!

This is awesome. I adore Clarins products. Those Lip Perfectors are simply amazing and my tryst Lotus Oil, is a must have. So cool a custom facial and a choice. Now to decide which GWP I want. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jamie! I agree, Clarins is a truly wonderful line! The Lip Perfectors 3 Pack is an extraordinary value, and a must-have as far as I'm concerned (at least for me :). Their oils have been around so long, and are wonderful. If you think that you want to partake-- then you should definitely call Monica soon-- especially if you want the Red Cosmetic Bag GWP-- because they are in limited supply. Monica is going to be at work today, and off tomorrow-- so you can always get her to grab one for you! Keep me posted-- I'd love to know what you end up getting! :-)
DeleteI like the look of the rose gloss
ReplyDeleteMe too, it's really pretty!
DeleteI have a few of those Instant Light lippies and I love them so so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, You and me both! THey are incredible little lippy treasures! :-)
Deletei am sorry i will be missing the clarins event this year. it was always one of my favorites. there are 2 clarins products that i never wish to run out and that is their eye makeup remover and the 'instant smooth' primer. good stuff! i hope you go and have some fun.
ReplyDeletePS -- i miss your banner, helen. it was lovely.
Hi Cheryl! If you need to stock up and want that pretty red makeup bag and deluxe samples-- then call Monica and she will mail it to you! Of course it would have been amazing for you to get the facial, but the GWP is amazing! Their eye makeup remover is definitely a wonderful product! I have never tried their instant smooth primer, but will have to now! :-)
DeleteThe banner isn't gone-- I just moved it over to the "About Me" tab. I just wanted something a little cleaner and more minimalist at the top. :-)
I hope the next time Nordstrom Clarins sponsors an event for you, it will include one of my local Nordstrom locations!
ReplyDeleteThe counter manager at the Westside Pavilion store (Monica) told me that she was having another GWP at the end of this month, and I imagine that she will be sending along the details before too long. Whether your store will be having the same GWP is unknown to me, but I do know that Monica will send you anything that you want!
DeleteI was envying the option for the facial event at your store. I like Clarins Super Restorative Total eye cream but I also like L'Occitane's Divine eye cream. Right now I am using Clarins and I am debating which one to get next. I don't have dark circles (at all) but I do get puffiness. What's your experience with eye creams? I try to always do my 'beauty' purchasing when I get something free or a good discount.
ReplyDeleteI agree that was a pretty amazing offer, but Monica did that because she knows me, and I don't know the Clarins Counter Manager at your local Nordstrom– though I wish that I did so that you could get that special facial! I saw that Divine Eye Cream and thought that it felt luxurious, but I haven't tried it. Eye creams a very tricky for me personally because super rich ones, particularly if they contain petrolatum and/or mineral oil have the tendency to give me milia– so I am very very careful what I put under my eyes. Two of my favorites continue to be the African Botanics Eye Cream and the Radical Skincare Eye Cream. I do have a tendency to get dark circles, and periodically get some puffiness under the eyes if I didn't get enough sleep, but when I am well rested neither is much of an issue. I have used neither of the eye creams that you have mentioned, but would love to give both a closer look. I personally love antioxidant rich anti-aging formulas that are neither too thick, nor too thin, and that provide excellent moisture and hydration. What do you want in an eye cream other than one that depuffs? I would ask for a few sample packets from L'Occitane next time you are there. Also ask them for a packet or two of their Divine Oil– it;'s quite nice! I received a small sample bottle and a few packets, and while I haven't tested it over any length of time I will say that it feels really lovely on the skin! I definitely know what you mean about making beauty purchases when there is a discount or a good GWP– it definitely feels like a worthy time to splurge!
DeleteI have used the L'Occitane eye cream and love that one. It may be my favorite and the one that addresses under-eye puffiness the best for me (so far). I have had milia in the past but have never connected it to certain ingredients (nor thought to do so). I will consider that in the future. I actually purchased the Divine Oil recently but haven't tried it because I am so addicted to my African Neroli oil.
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the L'Occitane Eye Cream! I will have to ask for a sample. Milia often occurs when an eye cream is too rich, and then gets trapped under that think skin. For me, ultra rich creams will definitely do it, but those two ingredients– especially used together give me milia at an alarming rate of speed! The Divine Oil really does resonate with me, but I haven't used in in any sort of meaningful or consistent way to know whether I will really like or love it long-term. The African Botanics Neroli Infused Marula Oil, on the other hand, is something that I will ALWAYS have on hand because it is so extraordinary (as you know)! :-)
