Water-based eye makeup remover designed for the most sensitive eyes and skin types. Packaged in a plastic bottle with small nozzle to prevent excess leakage.
Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Lotion is a gentle water-based eye makeup remover - but don't let the word gentle fool you because this hard-working formula is so efficient that I not only clean off my eye makeup but also the rest of my makep! That's right, Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Lotion cleans off all of my makeup in a few quick swipes with a face washer or cotton pads, leaving skin and the eye area feeling fresh, clean and reinvigorated. Packaged in a 125ml bottle means that this is the ideal size to multi-task and use for the eyes and face .
I loooove the rose and cornflower scent which hail from the organic floral water, it is just so refreshing to unwind in the shower and wash away the day with such a heavenly, uplifting scent. Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Lotion does not aggravate or leave skin feeling tight, instead cleaning the skin and removing unnecessary traces of makeup and grime from the skin's surface. Luckily this formula is free from parabens and many other irritants but it is important to know that this formula does still contain artificial fragrance but it does not irritate.

BB cream that acts as a foundation and moisturiser. Contains SPF 25 sun protection. Suited for normal/dry and combination skin types. Packaged in a squeeze tube with twist lid.
The new BB Skin Perfecting Cream is one of the nicest BB cream formulas I have tried to date - its lightweight formula glides on the skin with ease but promises a buildable coverage to suit all consistencies (mine usually ranges from medium to full). Combining the power of skincare and makeup in the one product means that there is no need to apply a moisturiser before application because by doing this you will find that skin is extra, extra dewy by lunchtime and BB Skin Perfecting Cream starts to wear off the skin.
The satin dewy finish is gorgeous and does not make skin look shiny or oily to start with - but as mentioned the end of the day is when the shine comes.
BB Skin Perfecting Cream contains SPF25 to help protect the skin when this clever cream is worn outdoors. Organic Kiwi energises the skin whilst Katafray binds moisture to the skin for hours. Available in three shades (light, medium and warm) BB Skin Perfecting Cream has a shade to suit most skin tones.

Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-Drain Serum is possibly the most lightweight skincare treatment I’ve experienced - and I love it. Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-Drain Serum goes the extra mile to deliver what its promises. I used this facial serum morning and night on freshly cleansed skin. I discovered that for best results, it is recommended to relax and let the product work into the skin so I did just that and found that the product was rejuvenating. The French serum is lightweight and has a pleasant scent which is not overpowering as only the French know how. I found that the light emulsion is quickly and completely absorbed into the skin, leaving a surface ready to be moisturised and the satin finish leaves skin with a healthy glow.
After 10 days of constantly using the serum mostly twice daily, I found that my skin looked smoother, had a fresh glow, and there was less puffiness around my eyes. Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-Drain Serum is blended with oat sugars to lift & firm facial features, Blue Button Flower works to reduce trapped fat and is loaded with alchemilla extract & a vitamin C derivative to correct hyperpigmentation. Unlike many applicators, the pump nozzle dispenses the smallest amount which is all you need each time. At first, it's a bit on the expensive side at $95.00, but given the fact that there really aren't any negatives about the product, Clarins' reputation and the product's quality justifies the price.

The consistency is light and airy with a creamy, velvet-like texture that feels silky smooth. It glides onto skin and blends with ease. The formula is fast drying, and sets into a weightless, natural-looking, matte finish, minus that dull, flat appearance often associated with matte foundations; instead it generates a vibrant, lustrous impression.
Clarins Ever Matte Foundation SPF 15 is house in a slim, 30ml rectangular-shaped,squeezable plastic tube boasts a plastic lid with a mirrored gold coating, which looks lovely and luxurious, as does the lovely new red packaging the brand is starting to adopt.
With the bonus of SPF 15 for added protection, the non-comodegenic formulation improves my complexion, yet doesn’t irritate my fussy sensitive skin or cause any issues with congestion or breakouts. This foundation ticks all the right boxes, meeting my personal requirements for a faultless day-to-day foundation. With a lightweight, barely-there feel, it delivers advanced performance and longevity, controlling excess oil, whilst skin remains fresh, polished and matte all day, eliminating the need for regular touch-ups and frequent blotting. Thanks to the Clarins Ever Matte Foundation, my oily skin woes are a thing of the past and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to achieve gorgeous, even skin with natural luminosity and a matte-like finish that will last the distance and produce the ultimate complexion perfection.

Estee Lauder are leading the way with fantastic liquid foundations that cater for a vast range of skin types and coverages. Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place makeup glides along skin like a dream and stays in place for hours and hours on end. I love the fact I can apply it at 7am and still look flawless by 6pm thanks to this nifty formula that just keeps on giving.
The shade I am using is perfect for fair skin tones with its golden-yellow base that removes excess redness from my skin. Packaging is easy to carry in the handbag or pop in your beauty bag because it does not take up too much room. The scent is very light and non-obtrusive which makes Double Wear Light all the more appealing. Fragrance-free and oil free,
Double Wear Light is great for all skin types and I am highly impressed to discover it is free of parabens, containing ingredients which are relatively safe. The great thing about Double Wear Light is that although described as a light to medium coverage, it can offer a medium to full coverage finish with a second application of foundation once the first has set in. So get your hands on Double Wear Light foundation because you won't be disappointed.

Three words: modern, alluring and femininity. Estee Lauder lead the way in the world of fragrance, having launched their first scent over 50 years ago so it is no surprise that Modern Muse is fast becoming a favourite.
When I received Modern Muse, I could not wait to smell the scent I had imagined for what seemed like an eternity (it was only about 3 weeks!) and it was truly worth the anticipation. I am truly converted - Modern Muse will always see a place on my dresser for the rest of my life! It is true that as we grow older, our taste changes whether it be fashion, food, or scents and although I once preferred sweet and fruity scents I have grown up and my scent has evolved. Nowadays I prefer something floral, musky and fresh with a hint of warmth. I like scents to linger for longer and I can easily wear men's cologne. Modern Muse is perfect because its sophisticated scent lingers on the skin and in the air so others too tend to notice. Top Notes consist of mandarine and dewy petals. Middle Notes pay homage to Tuberose, Jasmine, Lily and Honeysuckle, whilst Base Notes are rich in Patchouli, Madagascan Vanilla, Amberwood and Musk.

About: oil-free mattifying and anti-ageing pre-foundation primer that minimises the appearance of imperfections and provides targeted oil control to prepare the skin for makeup application. Packaged in a plastic squeeze tube with twist lid.
I love the convenience of do-it-all solution products like Matte Perfecting Primer, but it’s lacking one important benefit I rely on, especially for daytime use, and that is SPF. Despite not defending against the sun, it’s a handy all-in-one, quick-fix that nourishes and softens my skin, prompts hydration and targets the visible signs of premature ageing. At the same time, it disguises unsightly imperfections, prevents flaking, creasing, feathering and fading whilst increasing the longevity of my makeup and essentially providing oil control qualities. As a product hailing from a luxurious, high-end brand, naturally you’d assume it’s not going to come cheap. Be that as it may, the price tag is surprisingly comparable with other professional primers of similar standard and size; therefore if cost is no obstacle and you’re happy trusting a reputable brand, then it’s worth considering. Matte Perfecting Primer indeed refines my complexion and forms a protective base, to ensure my makeup remains beautiful and lasts the distance, yet, because my skin is exceptionally oily, the matte factor doesn’t quite ring true for me. While the results are initially flawless and the melt-proof ability stops makeup sliding or rubbing off, unfortunately, I’m still dependent on blotting sessions or powder touch-ups to combat any unwanted shine, which develops irregularly. For that reason, to achieve matte perfection, it’s my opinion the Estée Lauder Matte Perfecting Primer would best suit normal or combination skin types. It does deliver for us oily-skinned folks for a short period of time but we need to be diligent in mopping up the surface slick, so our face looks fresh and dewy, rather than greasy.
Matte Perfecting Primer is fragrance-free, so it’s less likely to cause irritation, making it safe for those with sensitivity issues. The white, gel-like cream has a moisturiser consistency and is thick and silky in texture. The oil-free, antioxidant enriched formula spreads easily, over my skin and dries fast to disguise problem areas and improve the overall appearance of my complexion. It’s lightweight and non-greasy, instantly concealing pores and minor flaws, whilst plumping fine lines to develop a soft, buffed canvas that works alone or under foundation. What makes this primer different is the inclusion of mattifying properties to help correct my biggest skin concern; oiliness! Using this primer my skin doesn’t become excessively greasy within hours of application; instead it seems to soak up surplus oil from within, preventing surface residue for the most part, meaning only moderate maintenance is required to keep my makeup looking perfect for the long haul. Presented in a sleek, opalescent tube that is attractively embossed with a golden Estée Lauder logo and gold chrome lid, the product portrays supremacy and class, ultimately reflective of the prestigious Estee Lauder brand.
Tip: A pea-sized amount is generally more than enough to prep my whole face, too much just causes greasiness

Pure Color Gelee Powder Eye Shadow is a very clever innovative eye shadow by Estee Lauder. Designed to offer you maximum impact eye shadow colour, these little eye shadow compacts come in six stunning limited edition shades which can be worn as is when applied dry or worn wet for a more intense look. But when you wet your eye shadow brush and run it through the creamy formula, the consistency changes from a powder to a smooth jelly consistency and the colour is double the intensity. The difference did not blow me away but I am really impressed by the creamy powder formula because I have never experienced an eye shadow with this texture and it feels lovely when worn on the skin. The intensity when used wet is nice but I was personally hoping for a little more so I added a similar shimmer loose eye shadow over the top to create more intensity and give my eyes that 'wow' factor. The unique formula blends with ease when used both wet and dry and the lovely shadow is not affected by water when it has been wet because after a few minutes. On top of that Estee Lauder Pure Color Gelee Powder Eye Shadow does not crease or flake like you might think thanks to its tri bid Prisma Shine technology which makes it more malleable and gives it a more extreme sheen. While the technology is pretty high-tech and the shadows are limited edition, I can't get my head around the price because the shadow is so small and if used wet the product wouldn't last long. Still, if you are an Estee Lauder fanatic and love gimmicky products then this one is for you. -
