FOTD + Review of Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection and Clarins Joli Rouge

Hi all Vixens out there, I won Clarins Twitter contest and they sent me this two products. For more giveaways please follow @ClarinsID on Twitter. After more than a week playing with these two things, here I give you my thought about these products.

Clarins Joli Rouge in 731 Rose Berry

No flash

With flash 

I think this is a very nice underrated lipstick. I never hear someone talking about this product before. Such ironies because for me, this is literally the most comfortable lipstick I ever try. Even better than MAC lipstick. Very creamy, very moisturizing, no waxy feeling, long lasting, amazing pigmentation, and nice heavy packaging. The color I have is ‘Rose Berry’, it looks very dark in the tube, but one or two swipes on the lips give me a natural mauve color. Very lovely! Overall I really want to try another Joli Rouge and I recommend this lipstick to everyone.

 Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection

This sunscreen is very lightweight. The consistency is like water, very ‘liquid’ and thin in texture. When I apply it on my face it goes on smoothly and slightly sticky, but do not worry because it absorbs quick and dries matte. The downside for me is the scent. I just don’t like the scent, it is not a super strong scent but It just not a good scent for me, I believe everyone is going to have a different opinion about the smell but I just don’t like it. If you don’t mind a little bit scent in your sunscreen then I say go for this product.
