This Year for the Holidays, Clarins got Passionate (and It’s a sluggish Burn)
Packaging ho that I am, I always salivate believing about look ahead to seeing what Clarins cooks up for their holiday collections.
Remember the floral flourishes swirling across 2010’s Barocco release as well as the plaster as well as pebbled structures from 2009’s Palazzo d’Oro?

Mmm… luxuries restricted edition designs. as well as seriously great stuff.
Since the brand usually screens remarkable style with the packaging of their holiday collections, I was a bit surprised by this year’s release. Passion, offered now on Clarins counters as well as likewise online, has at least one opulent episode via the curvy red pattern embellishing the enthusiasm deal with combination ($55), however the other products in the four-piece collection look uncharacteristically streamlined as well as المقيد.
Here, the simple compacts simply hint at the terminate that burns within them. “Hello, lovah,” they whisper, with advanced gray, rose, taupe, peach as well as silver shades that feel more to me like a managed shed than a unexpected burst of vibrant, intense color.

Eye Quartet Mineral combination in Smokey enthusiasm ($40)
When I started to check out enthusiasm (LOL!), I began with this quartet. Its smooth gold compact homes two powder eyeshadows (in taupe as well as rose), a powder liner (in a glittery grayish black) as well as a creamy, glittery highlighter; I truly like exactly how the colors make my eyes smolder as well as shimmer, as well as while the creamy highlighter applies a bit patchy on me, the powders slide like smooth skin on satin sheets.

Passion deal with combination ($55)
When I sweep the enthusiasm deal with combination on my cheeks, the golden shimmer works like stage lights to illuminate my face. The downy soft structure feels like cashmere, however alas, the shimmer is just an overspray. The pale peachy pink matte powder beneath it doesn’t truly show up on my tan skin. I have a feeling this piece would fare much better on lighter lasses than it does on me.

This year, Clarins’ quiet, gorgeous holiday collection whispers, rather than shouts.
(And sometimes a gal’s gotta whisper.)
In terms of packaging, I applaud them for when once again doing something different, even if it lacks the brand’s usual holiday bling.
