Clarins and Tweezerman Review

Clarins have brought out some new beauty products for Spring. 


Their best selling Rouge Eclat age-defying lipstick has 4 new pretty shades. These lipstick are great for older ladies and those that are concerned about fine lines around the lip area. Their Nutri-Youth complex is packed full of products that really feel they do your lips good, Vitamin E, Mimosa, Jojoba and Sunfower all natural plant waxes. In shades such as Hot Rose, Pink Blossom, Pink Cherry and Rose Praline these flattering colours add a touch of beauty to the lips.


Rose Praline

The colour they sent me Rose Praline 26, is a soft pinky brown. Very flattering on and suitable for most complexions, this is a perfect wearable everyday colour. As you can see from the photo above the lipstick is in a glorious and glamorous gold case. The sort of lippie you would be proud to bring out of your bag in a posh restaurant or cool bar.

A lovely wearable colour

On application the lipstick feels nourishing on, lightweight and has a lovely scent which reminds me of a sweet shop. It lasts through eating but I found it does need another application later on in the day. Using a lip pencil, applying two applications and blotting inbetween would help make it last longer.

Rouge Eclat age defying lipsticks are available from Clarins, John Lewis, Debenhams and other beauty counters priced at £19.50.

Ombre Iridescent cream to powder eyeshadow in silver plum

Another Spring release is the Ombre Iridescent cream to powder eyeshadow. These day to night eyeshadows are available in 6 colours, with 4 new for Spring. With a pearlescent look when applied the eyeshadow has 'soft focus' pigments so that the eye area looks fresh and lines minimised. On application I found the eyeshadow blended well with my finger rather than a brush and lasted all day with only a little creasing along the way. Priced at £19 a little goes a long way.

Wearing both products

Clarins products are luxury products and the price point is not cheap however I do feel you get what you pay for, in the combination of beautiful packaging, lovely colours and extra benefits.

Tweezerman are well known on the beauty market for providing excellent Tweezers and brow products. I was sent a mini slant tweezers to review from Tweezerman. This convenient tweezers is a great travelling product and perfect to keep in your bag at any time.  


On the packaging it says 'Expert Tools For Expert Results', and it sure lives up to this quote. Precision is super, and the slanted end makes it easy to get even those tiny stray hairs and to tidy up your brows. The little plastic case protects the product and stops you scratching you hand when you rummage in your bag.

As you can see with dark brows a great tweezers is essential to me

The original Slant tweezers are a beauty classic - and an InStyle Best Beauty Buy award-winner for Best Tweezers in 2015. Hand filed and slanted to grab every hair I would recommend this travel version - what's not to love! 


The mini slant tweezers are priced at £12.50 and are available from John Lewis, Feel Unique and other good beauty stores.

Tell me, have you ever used Clarins or Tweezerman products? What do you think of the products I have reviewed?

Clarins New Skincare And Makeup For Autumn

Clarins, the luxury skincare brand, have brought out new updated skin creams this Autumn. Based on the skin cream recipes that many women already love, the Super Restorative Day Cream and the Super Restorative Night Cream have been updated to include targeted and organic plant extracts, devised to meet the needs of older skin, including those that have hormonal changes due to the ageing process. 



Leading up to the menopause skin goes through many changes becoming dry and more lined. Using these products together Clarins feels will help the skin become more resilient, replenished and brighter. 

Super Restorative Day Cream





Ten years since the Super Restorative Day Cream became many women's skin saviour, Clarins goes one step further and adds organic Harungana extract, from a 'healing' tree from Madagascar. Harungana has been showed to help on the synthesis of collagen, helping to restore cell structures, reducing wrinkles and slackening of skin.

This gorgeous skin cream which has a light floral fragrance, applies like a dream. Perfect to prep the skin before makeup, it sinks in well and leaves a slight sheen. Skin feels soft, nourished and smelling great.

Super Restorative Night Cream




The Super Restorative Night Cream has had the organic extract Montpellier Rock-Rose added to help target age spots following hormonal changes. Over time skin is tightened, nourished and replenished and age spots reduced. Packed full of natural ingredients such as Harungana, shea butter, mango and ginkgo biloba it also smells great when applied. 

Although rich the cream does not sit on top of the skin, instead it feels as if it sinks in well without any greasy feel.  On application skin feels soft, with no sign of tightness, and next day lines are plumped up and smoothed. Added to this the pleasant rose fragrance makes this a great buy and a luxury everyday skincare treat. 

Both 50ml creams are available now in a smart red glass jar and are priced at £69 for the day cream and £73 for the night cream. These creams are not in the budget bracket but are a must have for those ladies who take their skincare seriously. 

Ombre Matt Cream-to-Powder Eyeshadow




These eyeshadows are soft and silky creams in the pots but change to powder on the skin. They come in a range of silky, blendable colours in flattering earthy tones such as taupe, nude rose and sparkle grey. What I loved about these eyeshadows is that they stayed in place and did not go into the creases of my eye. 



It is easy to add more colour and blend these eyeshadows as the day progresses. Amazingly long lasting I recommend these eyeshadows for a flawless day to evening look. Priced at £19 each, they are decent value due to the high level of pigmentation and long lasting nature of each eyeshadow.

In conclusion you definitely get what you pay for in luxury skincare and makeup. I will be asking Santa for some Clarins makeup this year in my stocking and next on my list is their Everlasting Foundation. Clarins, I think you have a new fan!

Tell me, do you have any Clarins products? What do you think of the eyeshadow colours?
