Pink, brown and violet, oh my! Meet the Clarins Neo Pastels Eye Colour & Liner Palette ($40), from the new Clarins Neo Pastels Collection for spring 2011.
What say you?
Say bonjour to Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour in Soft Peach ($28), one of six new powder blushes in the new Clarins Neo Pastels Collection for spring 2011.
Cute, right?
Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Color in Miami Pink ($28).
Ladies, I haven’t felt very glamorous this week… On a scale of 1 to 10, my glamorousness has been hovering around a -3. With scrunchies in my hair and my bum glued to the couch and wrapped in stretchy pants, I’ve watched just about every zombie movie and TV show released since 1969. Has it been educational? Sure, but it hasn’t been great for glamor.
The new Clarins Barocco Holiday Collection couldn’t have come at a better time.
Look at all that fancy… 🙂 It’s like a shot of fabulous straight to the heart!
The floral swirls/filigree designs both inside and out, and the rich berry, gold, black and peach shades seduced the sweat pants right off me (actually, they were raggedy yoga pants). These are products begging to be worn with a shimmery golden gown and dangerously high heels.
Clarins drew their inspiration for the collection from the Baroque style, characterized by dynamic movement, overt emotion and self-confident rhetoric, and prevalent from the late 16th century to the early 18th century in Europe.
The collection itself is limited edition and very small, with just four pieces, but man, oh, man they’re striking!

The Clarins Barocco Eye Colour Trio palette makes me want to _______.
Benefit Her Name Was Glowla packaging
We had a few minutes to kill before the movie tonight, so I popped over to Macy’s to see if they had anything new and interesting in the cosmetics department.
The Benefit counter was abuzz with some new limited-edition sets, Clarins had a new liquid foundation (at least it’s new to me), and I sniffed a new citrusy scent.
LOVE 
the packaging of this limited edition set. Isn’t it spicy? I actually have a pair of sunglasses that look almost like the pair the woman on the box is wearing.
The kit comes with a bunch of Benefit standbys like Coralista blush, High Beam highlighter, Moon Beam highlighter, a powder eyeshadow palette with six neutral shades, Badgal Lash mascara and a lipgloss in Life on the A List.
A Benefit makeup artist at the counter said that these were selling out fast… It does look like a pretty great deal for the price.
Remember the dual-tipped lipglosses from last year’s Glitz Glam & Gloss set? They’re baaaack! 🙂
