Clarins New Opalescence Spring Make-Up Collection

Every now and then, a press release lands in my mailbox that genuinely excites me and makes me go 'squee' out loud.  Well, this was one of those times. 

The Clarins Opalescence spring makeup line is being launched in February and oh, my, god, I want it all!  Here's some pictures for you to drool over!

Radiance Boosting Complexion Base...£26

For beautiful skin in an instant, this tube is a must-have life line for any make-up kit. Applied alone after your regular day cream or mixed with your foundation, Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base helps to eliminate imperfections, giving skin the flawless finish we all desire.

Multi-Blush Cream Blush...£18
A flush of colour to the cheeks accentuates freshness and good health. Easy to apply, this lightweight cream melts into the skin to sculpt, smooth and add a hint of colour to create a light, natural- looking finish. Floral waxes from rose, mimosa, jojoba and sunflower protects skin against dehydration.

Ombre Mineral in Smoky Plum...£17
For added definition this new addition to the Mineral Eyeshadow range offers a seductive ultra-luminous plum colour. The highly pigmented formula allows for intense colour through both wet and dry application.


Limited Edition Eye Quartet Mineral Palette...£31
Enhance eyes with this collection of four illuminating shades. The white highlighter offers a pearly hint to the eye whilst the opulent pink and grey shades create definition. Use dry for a subtle look or slightly dampen the applicator for more vivid colour. Finally, the plum eyeliner adds a touch of vibrancy and matches perfectly with the softer tones of the palette.


Gloss Prodige...£17
This ultra glossy, non sticky formula smoothes lips and makes them look naturally fuller thanks to the intelligent ‘Suprashine Colour Complex’. The additional raspberry oil also nourishes the lips to prevent cracking. This new coral tulip shade adds a veil of light pink to the lips and for those who love a finished glossy look, this new transparent version enhances radiance and acts a great seal over your regular lipstick.


Joli Rouge Brilliant Sheer Shine Lipstick...£18
These lipsticks provide luminous colour in a deeply moisturising, soft texture, leaving lips fuller looking, soft and incredibly shiny. These new additions offer a range of bright, vibrant colours that will add a touch of sparkle to everyone’s lips.

Will you be picking up any of these when they come out?

Elf comes to Cardiff

Most bloggers aren't a stranger to the budget makeup brand Elf (Eyes, Lips, Face).  With cute packaging reminiscent of NARS and good quality cheap makeup brushes, Elf have firmly made a name for themselves.

The British arm of Elf is run by Distribeauty which is based here in Wales (Swansea) since 2007, and the best bit is they're opening the first ever European shop here in Cardiff!  This makes me very excited!

Quoted in the press release "The store has undergone an extensive refurbishment, including the creation of a boutique area for make-up enthusiasts to experiment with a range of 600 cosmetics and beauty tools. Starting from as little as £1.50, the products aim to bring affordable, quality make-up to the masses.

Also boasting a brand new multi-media studio, the store is set to be a central hub for social media activity and by the end of this year, Distribeauty are planning to create an exclusive web TV channel streamed live from the store, designed to engage with its existing 1.5 million social media fan base and beyond."

The store is opening on the 24th October in the Royal Arcade just off St Marys St, they'll be open from 9:30 - 6pm Monday - Saturday, and 11:00 - 5pm on Sunday's.

New Product Alert - Bourjois Creme Blush

Hey guys, so today I have a quick post for you which is a press release I've been sent about a new product I wanted to share with you - a Bourjois Creme Blush!  Exciting times!

Often imitated but never equalled, the first baked powder blush by Bourjois was created in 1868…

Nearly 150 years later,Bourjois celebrates colour and sensoriality with A BRAND NEW GENERATION OF BLUSH.

• an unprecedented cream-powder technology by Bourjois, 
• an exceptional second skin texture,
• incredibly natural “healthy glow” colours 
• and impeccable hold… 

Bourjois presents its first CREAM BLUSH.

Cream-powder technology: a Bourjois innovation.  A century and a half after the first baked powders, Bourjois reinvents blush with a new technology yet to be seen in the blush category: a “cream-powder” technology that transforms in contact with the skin.  Using the fingertips, apply a touch of this ultra-soft cream to the cheeks and it immediately transforms into an incredibly fine and silky powder for an irresistible velvety sensation and a sublime make-up result. An ultra-melting texture for a velvety sensation.

The Cream Blush technology provides a light and velvety texture for a revolutionary second-skin effect: the sensorial quality and comfort of a cream are combined with the exceptional blending properties of a powder.  Never before has make-up for the cheeks been such a lovely mix of pleasure and performance! And with the same legendary rose fragrance of the Little Round Pot Blush!

AND, IT’S GOOD FOR MY SKIN!
The Cream Blush also cares for your skin: its formula is enriched

• WITH poppy extracts for more comfortable skin, 
• WITH apricot extracts for a healthy glow 
• AND WITH mango extracts for a soft touch.

With its innovative texture, the Cream Blush can be applied simply with the fingers… or with a brush,  the choice is yours.  Its buildable make-up result can be endlessly stretched to create a wide range of make-up looks from the most natural to the more sophisticated.

Bourjois has created a range of 4 complementary shades that are right on trend and suit a range of skin tones:

01 NUDE VELVET a light and delicate peach with a matte finish for a subtle effect.
02 HEALTHY GLOW a vibrant and slightly pearly apricot pink for an immediate healthy glow effect.
03 ROSE TENDER a soft pink with a pearly finish for a baby doll complexion.
04 SWEET CHERRY a deep matte brown-pink for a fresh, outdoor complexion.

This product is launching on the 3rd May 2013 in Selfridges & Selfridges.com, and then in Boots and Superdrug on the 15th May 2013, each one will retail at £7.99 each :)
