I was positive that I would stop at just one make and beauty advent calendar this year but who can stop at just one? As a Clarins fan girl I was delighted with the contents of this one. I was actually rather surprised that it actually introduced me to some new skincare picks from Clarins I never tried for like HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase! Where has this been all my life? I quickly picked up the full size version! There are also plenty of my personal favorites here like Clarins Beauty Flash Balm which is a fabulous way to prime dry skin before foundation! It adds a dewy freshness to skin instantly. Not to mention Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch which is fabulous not only on face but gently smoothed under eyes before concealer to fill fine lines and provide a perfect base for concealer.

And hey, there’s even a full size Clarins Booster! Clarins Boosters just launched this Fall and are available in three formulas that can be added to your moisturizer to add extra levels of moisture, to repair skin, or the detox formula that plumps and smooths skin. I got the Detox Booster and I’m looking forward to trying it.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I’d love to have this one but I think all my money is going to the Sephora VIB sale. I love the Clarins lip comfort oil and the lip perfectors, though.

    I got the L’Occitane Advent Calendar for my bff but i like this one a lot. Muse, as you have the inside line- what are your rankings in favorites so far- or at least the best value?

    • Isabella Muse

      wow there are so many that are great values! It’s hard to choose. This is def a very good value but the L’Occitane is also a very good value. I got the CTBeauty one and that’s a good value as well, it’s $200 and the contents are as varied but there’s some very generous sizes in that one. I also feel like the Body Shop ones are very, very good values plus they are offered in tiers so depending on your budge there’s three different calendars. 😉

    For the Clarins Instant Light Radiance Booster Complexion Base, is the swatch on your hand the “Rose” or “Champagne” color? It’s beautiful!

  • rina

    I LOVE the Bi-phase, been using it for years. Love the moisturizer too but hate the open jar…

  • Olivia Marks

    Don’t you thin it’s ridiculous that Clarins would put in their calendar gift tags and three days in a row some key chains, I mean they’re nice but are they really �95 advent calendar worthy.
    Btw I love your blog, your style of writing is just captivating, I can’t stop reading it!

  • genevieve

    That is a fantastic deal and I am so glad you got one for yourself. I think this and the L’Occitane one are perfect. I love Clarin’s products too.
