Clarins Aquatic Treasures Summer Collection* is this years beautiful summer range from Clarins, I always get so excited with the release and this one hasn't disappointed me.
The Aquatic Treasures encapsulates the ocean and it's beauty, the collection offers rich gold and bronze tones, to replicate the golden sands. Iridescent shades as the pearls of the ocean and a splash of glimmering grey to represent the ocean sparkling in the sunlight. I love how all these textures and colours come together to give you a warm healthy and glowing summer complexion.
I've been enjoying a few products from the range, lets start with the
After Sun Shimmer Oil £32*
A beautiful lightweight shimmering oil that melts into the skin, this is packed with tiny golden flecks that sit beautifully on the skin and enhance your golden glow without any heavy oily texture.
You can also smooth this through your hair so It's a real all rounder, and a must have for your holiday packing this summer.
It's a very clever product this one, as its packed with Vitamin E & Hazelnut Oil to add some well needed moisture back into your skin following sun exposure, yet the shimmering oil enhances your tan, this can be used all over the body. It oozes summer with the notes of Mandarin, Grapefruit, Tonka Bean, and Ylang Ylang.
As you'd expect it's packaged in a lovely glass bottle, with a screw lid and the top has a dropper in it, which is great as I've had so many incidents with too much oil coming out in one go in products I've had before.
Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base* £26
Perfect for the summer months, I think we all like to reach for the lighter less coverage products at this time of year and the complexion base which is available in 2 shades will allow you to do just that.
The tube has a pump dispenser and as you'll see from this picture of pump is more than enough to cover your whole face.
You can wear it alone or mixed with your regular foundation to give your complexion a boost and help to blur imperfections. It's available in Apricot which gives a nice dewy finish or Golden Bronze for the ultimate summer skin.
It's packed with Clarins Anti Pollution Complex to help protect the skin all day. I like this as a base. make up sits really well on top of it and lasts all day long.
Aquatic Treasures Limited Edition Bronzing Compact* £30
Is the showstopper of this range in my opinion, it features a beautiful marine inspired motif that's actually embossed into the powder. The compact boasts 4 shades, from beige to terracotta and they are all matte (yey) so many bronzers are sparkly and shiny so I love a palette that's matte.
Clarins always do such a good job of making their make up suitable for all skin types and this will compliment anyone.
Fix Make Up* £22
Is a must have for the summer, I love keeping mine in the fridge for a cold spritz it's lovely. This is infused with rose which gives it a delicate floral smell, the grapefruit and vitamin c both help keep the skin soft and moisturised whilst ensuring your make up stays in place all day. I recently ran a half marathon with this over my BB cream and I'm pleased to report it kept everything in place.
The summer collection also offers some beautiful additions to their Ombre Shadow Collection, and these are on my wish list, as well as waterproof mascara & liner, this collection is your Summer make up bag so head to your local Clarins counter nationwide, or head over to
