Can it be May now, please? | Clarins Enchanted Summer

Because Clarins’ Summer 2012 collection, Enchanted Summer, hits counters May 1st.

And is it ever stunning. 

The inspiration: Voyage to the heart of India

Dare to sport a sunny complexion, intense eye make-up, and sparkling lip colour. This summer, Clarins Make-Up travels to the heart of India, an authentic voyage where traditional patterns and shimmery tones reign.

Once a year, from New Delhi to Pondicherry, India turns into a fabulous colour festival. The entire country resonates to the enchanting rhythms of the Holi Fest where vibrant pigments are used as symbols: green for harmony, red for joy and love, orange for optimism and blue for vitality. Happy Holi!

Enchanted by Clarins.”

In the collection

Enchanted Colour Quartet & Liner Palette

Do I even need to say it? This palette looks amazing, you guys. I’m a huge Clarins palette fan (as you all well know), so I’m itching to get my hands on this. Click on the image below to enlarge – after all, bigger is better, right?

Kohl Kajal

This Limited Edition liner will be come in two colours (black and violet), promising creamy, intense, long-lasting colour both on the lashlines and waterlines.

I’ll hold my judgement on these until they come out – I haven’t found a kohl thus far that hasn’t disappointed me, so I’m hesitant to get excited this early on in the game.


Bronzing Duo SPF 15

This Mineral Powder Compact – 100% Mineral Screen contains mineral-based SPF, white tea extract (to help combat against pollution), crowberry, & vitamin E (to fight free radicals). It’ll be available in three shades (LightMedium, and Dark), and to my knowledge, will be joining Clarins’ permanent line-up.

The best part? The compact will be lightly perfumed with the scent of Clarins’ Sun Care range – which I happen to love. Clarins; a brand after my own heart!

Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm – new generation

Someone sound the alarm bells, a brand actually listened to its consumers! The Instant Smooth balms are back, and (just like we all wished for), they’re returning with an extra pigment punch.

Clarins is promising the world with these ones: “the colour of a lipstick, the transparency of a gloss, and the comfort of a lip balm.” Let’s hope they can deliver, yeah?

Note: only Crystal Violet and Crystal Coral will be available in Canada. If you’re dying for the red or pink shades, you’ll have to CP them from another country!

Colour Quench Lip Balm, Wonder Waterproof Mascara, & Fix’ Make-Up

My mind’s still being blown by the upcoming Crystal balms, so you’ll have to use your own brainpower for these ones.
