It has been way too long since I’ve blogged Clarins. Clarins is such an underrated makeup brand that does not get its just deserves because I think people might be a little scared of it or think of it as a more mature makeup line. I am absolutely a lover of the brand and always get terribly excited about their launches.

Lately though, Clarins has been a little quiet on the makeup front so I’m delighted to see new Ombre Iridescente Eyeshadows available for Spring 2016. If you recall Ombre Matte Eyeshadows launched a few years ago and I loved them! They are soft, creamy, easy to apply, and delightfully understated yet elegant and chic.

These have the same exact formula of the original mattes but now are available in a sparkly finish formula that adds light and radiance to eyes. The originals are really great to work with! I wouldn’t say they were a cream but they do have a certain creaminess to the texture and they apply very, very easily on lids. I suspect more of the same from these new iridescent ones!

Shades include:

• Silver Green
• Silver Plum
• Silver Ivory

Clarins Ombre Iridescente Cream-to-Powder Iridescent Eyeshadow are launching on counters now or get them online at Nordstrom.com.

Laura Mercier Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation ($48) is a new lightweight medium coverage foundation that creates a radiant, candlelit glow on skin. The formula has tiny pearl mica embedded in the formula that mimics the reflective glow of a candle.
