A Worthy Search

With MAC being more expensive in Italy, I was eager to branch out to good old European brands.

I discovered Clarins during a desperate search for the perfect nude lip colour. Its lipstick line, Brillant à Lèvres, offers a beautiful #25 that's a high coverage brownish beige. It goes on very creamy, and has a slight frost.



Clarins' Gloss Appeal in 03 is pinker than what I usually wear, but it glides on beautifully and is not sticky. It gives your lips a very glassy look without being heavy at all.

Wow. How do you like working in Milan? Sounds like a dream!

Anyway, I do like your product reviews since you give me yet another reason to hate my makeup ban. I've been meaning to try out Clarins products, but always forget to. I guess mainly because everyone talks MAC MAC MAC and nothing else.

First comment on my blog (probably the only one I'll ever get, lol), hi Fei!
The experience of being a Hong Kong-Chinese in Italy is a very bizarre & lonely one, lol.
I generaly stick to cosmetics brands that focuses on their skincare lines. Clarins has a couple of signature spas, and it's neither a Loreal nor an Estee Lauder company.
