Product Review: Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream

Having unfortunately entered the age where anti-ageing products are becoming necessary, I get excited when a new anti-ageing cream is being launched, and even more so when it is an eye cream from one of my favourite brands, Clinique. I little while ago I told you about Clinique, due to the success of the Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector, was also launching *Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream. Here are my thoughts; 




What They Say:


"The densely hydrating cream lifts, firms the appearance around the eyes. Builds cushion into time-thinned skin. Brightens eye area".

RRP: $55.00 (15ml) – Available from 31st March 2013 at Clinique counters nationwide and at Clinique Online


What I Say:
While I am concerned with wrinkles spreading across my face, at this point my eye area is a concern to me, where crow’s feet and fine lines seem to be more and more pronounced by the day, and not to mention, being pregnant means that I am not sleeping all that well at night, and consequently often waking up with puffy and tired looking eyes.

Clinique’s new Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream takes a multipronged approach to address the entire eye area resulting in a more refreshed, youthful appearance, by repairing UV damage and protecting against environmental aggressors. Formulated with a key ingredient found in the powerful Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector, this new eye cream helps visibly reverse the effects of past UV damage, as well as reduce those 'smile lines' and wrinkles around the eye area caused by not only smiling, but also other repetitive movements such as squinting.

In fact, according to Clinique tests, test persons were tested after using the eye cream for a 12 weeks, and it was found that their 'active' smile lines around the eye area had reduced by 54%, and that the skin’s barrier strength had increased by 72%.

The cream contains Vitamin C and E, antioxidants which are helping fight free radicals from environmental aggressors to prevent future damage, and visibly improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and overall texture. It also contains purified Whey Protein, a natural, high-quality polypeptide, rich in amino acids that help rebuild the skin to provide a better support structure, as well as Chlorella Vulgaris, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Siegesbeckia Orientalis Extract , which work together to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production to help plump the skin and strengthen its ability to bounce back. 

Finally, the cream also includes Rosemary Leaf Extract to strengthen skin’s protective barrier from environment aggressors and stimulates natural collagen synthesis without irritation, Cucumber/Barley/Sunflower Extract to mimic skin’s lipid membrane to help build the skin’s barrier repair function, as well as Trehalose, a sugar derived ingredient that stabilises the structure of the skin lipid system which maximises skin’s natural ability to attract moisture from the environment.

The Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream comes in a small silver plastic jar with the standard silver lid always seen on Clinique moisturisers. The actual cream is thick and rich – so much so that I have to admit that it would be too heavy for my otherwise combination skin. But to my surprise the cream absorbs into my skin quickly, leaving it feeling soft velvety and thoroughly moisturised, yet without any greasy or oily residue.

The cream has a very subtle scent, similar to other Clinique moisturisers, and this scent quickly fades once absorbed into the skin. The eye cream is intended to be use both morning and night over the entire eye area, including eyelid. It is dermatologist tested, allergy tested and 100% fragrance free, and it is safe to use on all skin types and tones. I have very sensitive eyes, which easily water, but this eye cream did not cause any irritations whatsoever.

I have now been using the cream for approx. 6 weeks both morning and night, so it is still a little early to tell the full effects of the cream, but I can say that my fine lines, crows feet and smile lines have definitely reduced in size, and are looking more plumped and hydrated, and my whole eye area simply looks more refreshed, brighter and more youthful.

I have also found that the cream works brilliantly under makeup, and in fact I have noticed that my eye makeup seems to stay put for longer and not settle into fine lines around the eye area.

At $55 for 15ml, it is not cheap, but it is very concentrated so only a very tiny about of cream is needed, so the jar will last you for quite a while. Generally I have to say that I prefer creams in tubes or in pump bottles as it is just so much more hygienic than constantly having to dip your fingers into the jar. So the fact that the eye cream comes in a jar is a negative for me, and it would have been nice if it had at least come with a small spatula.

All in all I am thoroughly enjoying using the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream, and I am very impressed with the results I have seen already, so I look forward to seeing what results it will bring with continued and long-term use.

L’Oreal Paris Beauty Workshop, LMFF 2013 - Part 2

Every year in connection with the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF), L’Oreal and Marie Claire hosts a beauty workshop, where L’Oreal Paris Make-Up Director, Rae Morris shares her beauty tips and tricks.

The beauty workshop was held at Maia, on Central Pier, Docklands, Melbourne, and this year I was lucky to get an invite from L’Oreal. In part 1 of this post I shared all the tips and tricks that I managed to pick up from Rae Morris (you can see them here if you missed it).

The beauty workshop lasted for a good hour, and there was a stage where three models were being made up by makeup artists, while Rae Morris along with the beauty director of Marie Claire, Alex Noonan, not only shared their tips and tricks, spoke of the latest trends, as well as the newest L’Oréal Paris products to hit the shelves.

Each of the models were made up, recreating Megan Gale’s LMFF looks; the first one with the Opulent Glamour Look, the second model with the Navy Chic Look, and the third model with the Autumn Siren Look.

These are the three looks, and the products used to create them;

Opulent Glamour

 

To recreate the Opulent Glamour the following L’Oreal Paris products were used:


 
  • L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Eyeshadow Quad, in Disco Smoking
  • L’Oreal Paris Lash Architect 4D Mascara in Black Lacquer
  • L’Oreal Paris Super Gel Eye Liner in Black
  • L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Le Smoky Pencil Eyeliner & Smudger in Stormey Sea
  • L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Le Sourcil, Eyebrow Pencil in Golden Brown
  • L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Cream
  • L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Blush in Universal Rosy Blush
  • L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder

To recreate the Navy Chic look the following L’Oreal Paris products were used:


 
  • L’Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer

  • L’Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Tough of Light Highlighter

  • L’Oreal Paris True Match Foundation
  • L’Oreal Paris True Match Blush in 120 Sandlewood Pink
  • L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in 374 Intense Plum


To attend the Beauty Workshop cost $39, which I personally thought was a reasonable price, and especially seeing it also included a L’Oreal Paris gift bag, valued at more than $70.

This is what was included in the gift bag:

 




Personally I was pretty impressed with the gift bag, and along with attending the Beauty Workshop, it was definitely worth the $39 price tag.

 
The L’Oreal Paris Powder Room
Prior to the attending the Beauty Workshop, I was lucky to just have time to get into the L’Oreal Paris Powder Room.

Over the last many years, the L’Oréal Paris Powder Room has become a popular of big events held in Melbourne, such as the Melbourne Cup Carnival and the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival. The L’Oreal Powder room allows the general public to be pampered in the L’Oréal Paris Powder Room – for free – by the team of L’Oreal Paris specialists are on hand providing professional beauty advice.

As it was busy, I was given the choice between getting skincare advice, getting my nails painted with my choice of nail polish, or getting my lips done, again, with my choice of lipstick.

As I had just done my nails, and as I was in a bit of a hurry, I decided to get my lips done – but again, unfortunately I was in such a hurry that I completely forgot to get a photo taken.

But here’s a few pictures of the actual powder room:

The L'Oreal Paris Powder Room
 
The Lipstick area
 
The Nail and Skincare area
 
As you were leaving, all visitors were handed a gift bag, which in my case included:

 




Pretty impressive gift bag for a freebie don’t you think?!

So there you go, that concludes my posts from the L’Oréal Beauty Workshops.

What did you think of the three beauty looks, which one do you prefer? Keen on trying any of them?

Have you tried any of the products used? And did you attend any of the events held during the fashion festival?

L’Oreal Paris Beauty Workshop, with Beauty Tips from Rae Morris, LMFF 2013 - Part 1

Every year in connection with the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF), L’Oreal and Marie Claire hosts a beauty workshop, where L’Oreal Paris Make-Up Director, Rae Morris shares her beauty tips and tricks.

The beauty workshop was held at Maia, on Central Pier, Docklands, Melbourne, and this year I was lucky to get an invite from L’Oreal. But even at the ticket price of $39 it was reasonably priced, and even more so as it also included a L’Oreal Paris gift bag, valued at more than $70, but more about that later in part two..

The beauty workshop lasted for a good hour, and there was a stage where three models were being made up by makeup artists, while Rae Morris along with the beauty director of Marie Claire, Alex Noonan, not only shared their tips and tricks, spoke of the latest trends, as well as the newest L’Oreal Paris products to hit the shelves. So it was therefore not a ‘back-to-basics’ workshop, where you get to play with the makeup yourself, but more about picking up some tips and tricks to improve on your existing skills.
 
 

Some of Rae Morris’s tips that I managed to pick up during the workshop:

Foundation:
  • When selecting a foundation shade for yourself always try the foundation on your chest area rather than on your face as this is the best indicator of your true colouring. And if you are wearing a strappy/strapless top, make sure to also cover your chest and shoulder area to make sure your face matches your body.

  • And if you use a self-tanner on your body, again, make sure that your foundation matches the shade on your body, even if it means a darker foundation. There is nothing worse than a tanned body and a white face.

  • If you use only one product, make it a foundation or a BB cream as having an even skin instantly makes you look younger.


Concealer:
  • Concealer should be applied after the foundation, as the concealer will move as you apply your foundation, as well as the foundation will cover most imperfections, and consequently less concealer would be required.

  • When you are concealing under your eyes, always use a shade that is one shade lighter than your foundation, And don’t use the same colour concealer to blemishes as it will highlight them. To conceal blemishes, always use a concealer shade that is the same as your foundation.


Eyes:
  • If you have droopy eyes, forget the old saying that you should just line your lower lash line 1/3 of the way - because as this line stops at the lowest point of your eyes it will only emphasise the droopiness.

  • Wear the colours that complement your eyes below your eyes (i.e through eyeliner) to make your eyes pop, and you can then wear whatever colour you like on your eyelids.

  • When trying to make the perfect winged eyeliner look, use a piece of sticky tape put on an angle by the outer corner of your eye (Tip: take most of the stickiness of the tape out by putting it on your hand and take it of again a few times before putting it near your eye area.)
 


 
Eyebrows:
  • Messy eyebrows can ruin your whole look, so to ensure your eyebrows stay in place, spray a mascara spoolie with a little hairspray and comb through the brows to fix in place.

  • Define your brows with a pencil or a little powder for a more defined and groomed look.

  • Rae Morris also talked about how to shape your eyebrows for the most optimum effect. If the gap between your eyebrows point is too far apart, it can exaggerate the width of your nose (or draw attention to a wide nose). If the gap between the eyebrows is narrower, it will also make width of your nose appear much narrower.

Lipstick
  • The perfect nude lip colour depends on skin tone – your perfect nude colour is between the colour of your skin tone and your lip tone.

  • Enhance your cupids bow with a little gold highlighter to visually plump your pout.

  • On the debate on how much or how little water to drink. It’s not always a matter of drinking 8 glasses a day, sometimes you need more, and sometimes you need less. If you drink sufficient, your lips will not need lip balm, so your lips are hence an indication that you are sufficiently hydrated

  • When swatching lipsticks, never do this on the back of your hand, as it will not give you a true indication of the colour on your lips. Rather do it on the tip of a finger for a more realistic representation of the colour.

  • When applying lipsticks, one coat should be enough, as too many coats can result in the lipstick bleeding and smudging. And don’t apply lipstick on top of a lipbalm, as it will also make it bleed, and ruin the staying power as it stops the lipstick from adhering to the lips. Instead, put lipbalm on your lips before you start applying your make up, and then wipe it off before applying your lipstick.

So there you have it, those were the great tips I managed to pick up from Rae Morris. And all in all, it was a great workshop, that I really enjoyed attending it.  
 

What do you think of these tips? Any that you are keen to try out?

Product Review and NOTD: Nicole By OPI Selena Gomez Collection in Scarlett

A little while ago I told you about Nicole by OPI launching Selena Gomez Collection. The collection includes 14 shades of lacquers inspired by actress & singer. The colour palette carefully selected captures her sweet yet spunky personality, from soft pink and peach hues to bright glitter and confetti lacquers. This diverse colour range offers the right hue for every occasion and every mood. But while I have to be honest and admit that I don’t really know that much about Selena, I am a big fan of the Nicole by OPI polishes, so I was excited when I was asked to trial one of the new shades. Here are my thoughts on the *Nicole By OPI Selena Gomez Collection in Scarlett;




What They Say:
"Nicole by OPI contains no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde and has a custom designed ‘Perfect Stroke’ brush for the most precise application".

RRP: $14.95 – Available from selected pharmacies, Hairhouse Warehouse, Petra Haircare and from Nicole by OPI Online.

What I Say:

It is not a secret that I love the OPI nail polishes, as you can always rely on the best quality and a fabulous colour range, and very importantly that they do not contain DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde.

Nicole By OPI Selena Gomez Collection in Scarlett is a fuchsia pink shimmer. The shimmer looks like duo chrome where the pink shifts to gold in the sunlight. It is such a gorgeous bright pink, and in spite me not being a fan of too shimmery and glittery polishes, it is still so subtle that I actually really like it, and like how it plays in the sunlight.

As all OPI nail polishes, it has a nice formula, which is so easy to apply – and thanks so the wide brush, just a few quick brushstrokes and the nail is covered. The nail polish covers nice and evenly, without any visible brush strokes. It has such a strong colour that covers so well, although I still feel the need to apply two coats for a perfect coverage.
 
 

The nail polish dries very quickly too, which I really like, and I love the fact that it unlike other nail polishes doesn’t have a strong smell either – no doubt due to being free from DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde.

Having two dogs I wash my hands quite regularly during the day, and no denying that the computer keyboard does a little damage too – however, the nail polish lasts quite well, especially with an added top coat where it lasted for about 4 days before it started to chip at the edges.

As we all know, removing nail polish with glitter can be a quite tricky task – so I was so pleasantly surprised when this nail polish removed so easily and quickly, and without leaving behind any shimmery particles.

All in all, I have just confirmed again that the Nicole by OPI nail polishes really are of such fantastic quality, and absolutely worth their price tag. And I love this bright pink colour, it is very stunning, and so different to any other nail polishes I currently have.

Product Review & LOTD: Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Jitterbug

As I’ve previously mentioned, I have to be quite honest and admit that I am a little conservative, and mostly wear a quite neutral lipstick shade, but nothing beats a true red lipstick for special occasions, as it really does make a huge difference to your whole makeup look. Here are my thoughts on the *Australis Colour Inject in Jitterbug;




What They Say:
"Long lasting, moisturising and nourishing lip colour. It’s an injection of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the hottest thing on everyone's lips. It contains Kakadu plum which is the world’s highest known source of Vitamin C which is not only soothing, but also naturally stimulates collagen formation. Available in 18 colours".

RRP: $12.95 – Available from Myer, Priceline, Terry White Chemists, My Chemist, Chemist Warehouse and leading pharmacies nationally, and from Australis Cosmetics Online.

What I Say:

While I have used a few makeup items from Australis, I have to be honest and admit that this is the first lipstick that I am trying, and while I really like the makeup I have tried from the brand as it is a good quality for a budget price, I didn’t really know what to expect from the lipstick.

The Australis Colour Inject in Jitterbug is a lovely bright red lipstick with a blue undertone. And as soon as I put it on, I was impressed. It is soft, creamy and smooth, and just glides onto the lips.

The lipstick contains vitamins and minerals, including Kakadu plum, which is contains a high amount of Vitamin C, known to be both soothing as well as help naturally stimulates collagen. And the lipstick really does feel nice and soothing on the lips. And very moisturising too, without being too sticky. And as an added bonus the Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick has SPF15, which I really like.
 
 

The lipstick is very pigmented, and so the colour is rich and dramatically bold, and with just one coat. And it has a good staying power, in fact about 4-5 hours before I felt the need to reapply.

The lipstick does fade a little as time goes by, but still looks like a pretty stain on my lips. It is also possible to just get the stained look by just dabbing a little lipstick on, and blotting it off with a tissue, which does give the lips a nice ‘bitten effect’, which lasts a few hours.
 
 

The lipstick has a typical lipstick scent, which unlike other lipsticks isn’t too perfumed. It comes in a simple yet classic black glossy tube with a bright pink band between the base and the lid. The lid also closes firmly in place so you do not need to worry about it popping open when you carry it around in your handbag makeup purse.
All in all this is a fantastic lipstick that is not only comfortable to wear and nourishing for the lips, but it gives the lips a nice pop of colour at the same time. The Jitterbug colour is (for me anyway!), a very bright red, and being as conservative as I am I will reserve this for special occasions, or use as a lip stain for a less made up look. And at just $12.95 this lipstick is fantastic quality at a bargain price, and with a massive 18 colours in the range there is sure a colour to suit everyone, as well as all moods and occasions – I will definitely be checking out the rest of the colours in this range!

*This product was kindly provided for consideration, and it has been reviewed in accordance with my Disclosure Policy.

Have you tried any of the lipsticks from Australis? What is your preferred budget lipstick? Do you wear bold lipsticks for everyday wear, or are you as conservative as me??

Product Review and NOTD: Nicole By OPI Modern Family Collection in Candid Cameron

A little while ago I told you about Nicole by OPI launching a Modern Family Collection. I absolutely love watching that show, it never stops to surprise me, and it is the one comedy show that I have not yet gotten tired off.

The Nicole by OPI Modern Family collection features shades that capture the show's colourful personalities from a classic taupe named after patriarch Jay, to a sparkly pink hue fit for little Lilly! I was lucky to get to trial the shade called *Candid Cameron, and here are my thoughts;
 



What They Say:

Nicole by OPI contains no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde and has a custom designed 'Perfect Stroke' brush for the most precise application.

RRP: $14.95 – Available from selected pharmacies, Hairhouse Warehouse, Petra Haircare and from Nicole by OPI Online.

What I Say:

It is not a secret that I love the OPI nail polishes, as you can always rely on the best quality and a fabulous colour range.



Nicole by OPI's Candid Cameron is a has a nice dark teal/turquoise colour with shimmer throughout, and once applied it is exactly how it appears in the bottle.

The nail polish has a nice formula, which is so easy to apply – and thanks so the wide brush, just a few quick brush strokes and the nail is covered. The nail polish covers nice and evenly, without any visible brush strokes. It has such a strong colour that covers so well, that I am in fact only wearing one coat in these pictures – How good is that!! The special brush really does make it so easy to apply that even I, who is very clumsy when it comes to applying nail polish could make it look half-decent!
 


And it dries so quickly too, which I really like, and I love the fact that it doesn’t have a strong smell either – no doubt due to being free from DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde.

Having two dogs I wash my hands quite regularly, and no denying that the computer keyboard does a little damage too – however , the nail polish lasts quite well, especially with an added top coat where it lasted for about 5 days before it started to chip at the edges.

All in all, the Nicole by OPI nail polishes really are of such fantastic quality, and absolutely worth their price tag. And I absolutely love this colour, it is very stunning, and so different to any other nail polishes I have.

Product Review: Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

New foundations are being launched so often these days, all promising the latest and greatest in skincare technology. Personally, I am always looking for a new foundation that will improve the look of my complexion, and not to mention hide increasing pigmentation, whilst still looking natural  and not to mention will stay put on my combination skin. Here are my thoughts on the newly launched *Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation;



What They Say:
SMART-TONE™ technology adapts to the colour and texture of skin. Flawless natural finish. With an Oxygen Complex. Lets your skin breathe. Available in 12 shades.

RRP: $17.95 – Available from Priceline, Target, Kmart, Big W, and selected pharmacies, Coles and Woolworths.

What I Say:
With this new Match Perfection Foundation, Rimmel aims to stop the ultimate beauty crime, - erase the proofs of using the wrong foundation colour. This new foundation simply promises to deliver a foundation that is un-detectable, but rather leave the skin flawless and radiant skin, no matter the light, from the bathroom, to the office to a night out at the club!

That’s one big promise. I think many of us have been guilty of using a foundation in the wrong shade

So can this foundation really be that 'magical' that it blends so naturally and seamlessly to blend with your skintone?

The Match Perfection Foundation comes in a slim glass bottle, with a blue lid, which hides a pump, which is easy to use to dispense just the right amount of foundation.
 
 
The foundation has a light creamy texture, which makes it so easy to blend it to the skin with your fingers, although I found that I got an even nicer and more even result when using a foundation brush.

The foundation gives a sheer coverage, although it is possible to build it up for a better coverage. The foundation covers uneven skintone, and minor pigmentation, blotchy spots, blemishes and scarring, making the skin look even and unified, although it doesn’t completely cover darker spots. It also gives the skin a nice yet natural illuminating glow, which is from the Sapphire Radiance Complex included in the foundation – yet this glow is without making the skin look too shiny, which I really like, as my combination skin usually produces enough shine on its own!!

So is it so magical that it is undetectable? Well, with just one thin layer, it is very natural and next to impossible to see you are wearing it, however, if you build up coverage, consequently it also becomes easier to actually see you are wearing the foundation.

The Match Perfection Foundation has a nice yet subtle fresh floral scent, which disappears as soon as the foundations has absorbed into the skin. As an added bonus, the foundation also has SPF 18.

Even on my combination skin, on a hot summer’s day, the foundation has a good staying power and lasts well throughout the day, although I still need a slight touch-up of the t-zone area around by the afternoon. But with use of a primer first, it lasted even longer! And throughout the day it is comfortable to wear as it feels like the skin can still breathe.

I tried the foundation in shade 300, which is a sand/beige shade, which perfectly matched my skin tone, but with 12 shades available, which range from a very light porcelain to a dark bronze, there should hopefully be a match for everyone.

All in all, at just $17.95 this is a great foundation at a bargain price. So if you are on a budget, but still want a great foundation giving you a natural look, this may be the foundation just for you. I will enjoy using the rest of the bottle as well I will consider purchasing it again.

Product News: Clarins Launches Body Lift Cellulite Smoother

Cellulite is not exactly pretty, and it targets everyone, skinny or chubby, fit or not – and well, being pregnant, and adding quite a few kilos to my normal weight, I am sure that I am not exempt either. So I was excited when I heard about Clarins launching the new Body Lift Cellulite Smoother.

This Cellulite Smoother promises to work to reduce existing cellulite and also slow the formation of new cellulite while reinforcing skin’s firmness.
 
 

It takes up a dual challenge:  

1. Reduces early and stubborn cellulite

Body Lift Cellulite Smoother limits fat storage and activates fat destocking to reduce the most stubborn cellulite and block the formation of early cellulite at its origin.

2. Silhouette reshaping

The light weight cream gel firms and refines contours by stimulating the synthesis of new collagen fibres while it softens and lifts skin to promote hydration and comfort. By its effects on micro-circulation, it contributes to the elimination of excess water and fat, creating a feeling of lightness.

Working to not only visibly reduce cellulite, Body Lift Cellulite Smoothers specific active ingredients reinforce the skin’s firmness, micro-circulation and hydration and enhances its natural beauty.

In addition, the Body Lift Cellulite Smoother also has an immediate lifting and tightening effect, which refines skin texture, redefines body contours.

It also encourages firmer skin though the use of aquatic mint extract to boost the synthesis of collagen and bacchairs extract protects it from breakdown.

It also stimulates the mirco-circulation through the use of horse chestnut to reduce the feeling of heaviness.

Finally, it also makes the skin feel comfortable, as sunflower phospholipids, hazelnut oil and glycerine nourish and moisturise the skin and give it a satin smooth feel.

Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Smoother has been formulated to deliver maximum effectiveness, however effects can be further enhanced by following a very simple application method developed by Clarins. By combining manual pressure with muscle contractions the Self-Massage Body Contouring Method, targets adipose tissue and helps to stimulate the micro-circulation and thus encourage the elimination of excess water and lipids.

You can read more about the Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Smoother as well as Clarins Self-Massage Body Contouring Method here.

The new Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Smoother will have a RRP of $90.00 for 200ml, and be available from April 1, 2013 from leading department stores, select pharmacies and retails specialists, and at Adore Beauty Online.

I’ve been so lucky to get the opportunity to trial the Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Smoother, so stay tuned for my review in a few weeks when given it a good test.


What do you think of the Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Smoother? Do you have cellulite? What do you do to prevent and minimise it?
