The latest beauty drop from Clarins has had us all in a beauty frenzy this morning. And you will be too come September when these launch into stores.
First up is the new Skin Illusion Mineral & Plant Extracts Loose Powder Foundation, long name aside, this is no normal powder foundation. Featherlight, silky and moisturising, the miniature kabuki brush imparts a fine veil of powder onto skin for perfected, glowing skin. Pink Opal Powder blends with a Pink Algae Extract to boost and hydrate the skin whilst a combination of spherical microbeads and Clarins’ light optimising complex creates the illusion of a glowing, lit-from-within skin finish. Oh and did I mention the vanity-table worthy packaging? A sleek. squared glass jar, with golden lid, twists to conceal the flat mini kabuki brush, the perfect shape and size for powder-buffing.
Skin Illusion Mineral & Plant Extracts Loose Powder Foundation, £28, is available in 6 shades, and will be exclusive to House of Fraser from 6th September, nationwide from 24th September

Created to affect the illusion of a thicker, fuller lashline, the limited edition 3-Dot Liner from Clarins, is the most unusual liner we’ve seen. Its unique 3-pronged liner-tip fills the spaces between lashes in a ‘dot by dot’ motion. However, given the eyeliner focus as seen on the autumn winter 2012 catwalks, with graphic, winged eyeliner a hot trend, we’ll be practising creating these go-faster stripes in a modern take on the cats eye flick.
Clarins Limited Edition 3-Dot Liner, £20, available mid August nationwide.

Oh how we love an embossed bronzing palette and Clarins never fail in their offerings. For autumn, they launch this rather gorgeous and limited edition, Colour Accents Face & Blush Palette. A flattering blend of 4 matte, tan tones combines with a sweep of radiant boosting rose pink for a sunswept and semi-sheer bronze finish.
