This Year for the Holidays, Clarins Got Passionate (and It's a Slow Burn) - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Packaging ho that I am, I always salivate thinking virtually look forward to seeing what Clarins cooks up for their holiday collections.
Recall the floral flourishes swirling across 2010's Barocco release and the plaster and pebbled textures from 2009's Palazzo d'Oro?
Mmm… luxuries express edition designs. And seriously good stuff.
Since the brand normally displays dramatic flair with the packaging of their holiday collections, I was a little surprised by this year's release. Passion, available at present on Clarins counters and besides online, has at least i opulent episode via the curvy carmine pattern decorating the Passion Face Palette ($55), only the other items in the four-piece collection look uncharacteristically streamlined and restrained.
Hither, the elementary compacts simply hint at the fire that burns inside them. "Hullo, lovah," they whisper, with sophisticated greyness, rose, taupe, peach and silver shades that feel more to me like a controlled burn than a sudden burst of vibrant, intense colour.
Heart Quartet Mineral Palette in Smokey Passion ($xl)
When I started to explore Passion (LOL!), I began with this quartet. Its sleek gold compact houses two powder eyeshadows (in taupe and rose), a powder liner (in a glittery grayish black) and a creamy, glittery highlighter; I really similar how the colors make my eyes smolder and shimmer, and while the creamy highlighter applies a footling patchy on me, the powders slide like smooth pare on satin sheets.
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B+Passion Face Palette ($55)
When I sweep the Passion Face Palette on my cheeks, the golden shimmer works like stage lights to illuminate my face up. The featherlike soft texture feels like cashmere, but alas, the shimmer is just an overspray. The pale peachy pink matte pulverisation beneath it doesn't really show upwards on my tan skin. I take a feeling this piece would fare meliorate on lighter lasses than information technology does on me.
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: BRouge Prodige Lipstick in Passion Rose ($24)
A unmarried layer of shimmery, rosy brown Rouge Prodige Lipstick in Passion Rose (unscented and unflavored) delivers rich color that lasts for hours, fifty-fifty through a few cups of tea.
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY Web log RATING: AInstant Definition Mascara in 01 Intense Blackness ($24)
The boldest function of this expect? — the lashes! 🙂 Glossy jet black Instant Definition Mascara in 01 Intense Black ($24) will not be denied, and I fully appreciate that. The snazzy brush, with its short, chubby tip, defines and separates similar a champ.

This year, Clarins' quiet, beautiful holiday collection whispers, rather than shouts.
(And sometimes a gal's gotta whisper.)
In terms of packaging, I applaud them for once again doing something different, fifty-fifty if it lacks the brand's usual holiday bling.
