I thought I would share with you my new
make-up essentials that I have been using this week. I’ve been waiting to wear
summer clothes and use summer make-up now for such a long time, so this week’s
warmer weather has been greatly received to try out my new items!!
My favourite new summer collection is from
Clarins. Here’s a bit more from the Clarins website on the new collection: “Clarins takes you on a journey to the
ancient ruins of South America , a region
driven by colour and print.” I adore the packaging for starters and am a
big fan of their limited edition palettes. The Splendours Summer Bronzing Compact (£30) is a perfect blend of softening brown and terracotta. The centre
of the compact contains a shimmering gold shade to create an ultra-luminous
finish. This is a great bronzer to take on holiday and highlight already tanned
skin. If you are pale skinned, I think it will be too dark for you as I have medium
toned skin and have to be careful I don’t over apply! I’m excited to take on
holiday to Spain
The Clarins Splendours Colour Quartet &Eye Liner Palette (£31) consists of three gold shades that illuminate the eyes,
while the powder and liquid eye liners warm and intensify. I highly recommend
Clarins eyeshadows as they are so pigmented and long lasting, plus they blend
very easily without any creases. To finish off my eyes, I’ve been using the new
Maybelline Colossal Volum Express The Rocket in Very Black (£5.99 on offer from
Superdrug). I don’t normally buy expensive mascaras as I go through them so
quickly, and have always been a fan of Maybelline as a good value, lots of
volume option! This also comes in waterproof, so I definitely recommend if you
are looking for a new mascara for summer.
Finally to complete the look, instead of
heavy lipsticks and lipglosses, I am enjoying using tinted lip balms which are
becoming more popular. My new favourites are the Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal
Lip Balm (£18) and a cheaper option Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Cotton
Candy (£7.99). Clinique Chubby Sticks are still my all time favourite and
permanent fixtures in my handbag!
