Clarins Boosters

Clarins is now offering a trio of Boosters ($39) to manage various skin issues. Designed to be used with any moisturizer, serum, foundation or mask, the three formulas can be used anytime to address specific needs. You can use it once a week, once a month, or whenever you need to recharge your skin. 

The Repair Booster contains mimosa tenuifolia to banish redness and dry skin. If you've been over-exposing your skin to extreme temperatures or saltwater, this is the one to use. Made with green coffee extract, the Detox Booster is ideal for combating pollution and heavy diets. I like using the Energy Booster whenever I'm not getting enough sleep or when I'm facing jet lag. It has ginseng extract to revive dull and fatigued skin. 

As these are concentrated formulas, you have to mix them (3-5 drops) into your preferred cream before application. My skin seems to be extra supple whenever I use these boosters and the tiny bottles are perfect for tucking into a purse or carry-on luggage.

Vapour Stratus Soft Focus Instant Skin Perfector & Aura Multi Use Blush

I'm really impressed with the Vapour Stratus Soft Focus Instant Skin Perfector ($56). If you don't like to use foundation but still want to look polished, you need to try this product. You can use it by itself or with foundation and it'll even out blotchiness, giving you a fresh and glowy complexion. 

I tried shade s904, which is great for light-medium skin with neutral or olive undertones. Made with 70% organic ingredients, it contains botanicals like elderberry, frankincense, myrrh, cape chamomile and pumpkin seed oil to condition and moisturize the skin. 

Pair it with the Aura Multi Use Blush ($36) in Starlet 204 and you'll nail the dewy look. The warm pink has gold and silver micro shimmer which adds a pretty flush of radiance that looks extremely natural.

Clarins 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palettes

This fall, Clarins keeps it simple by placing their focus on the eyes. The French beauty brand is offering three gorgeous sets of the 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette ($43). Each one features four mineral-based shades that deliver a blend of satin and matte textures. 

4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in 02 Rosewood.

Available in 01 Nude, 02 Rosewood, and 03 Brown, the eyeshadows are long-lasting and buildable. The Nude palette is perfect for daytime while the Brown makes a smoky eye easy to achieve. I like using a wet brush to get a more intense look, especially with the Nude palette. My favorite is the Rosewood.
