"In praise of matte" - Clarins Canada. Read more to see my swatches and collection info! I will post a detailed look with the collection soon =D

Perfect Eyes & Brows Palette *

Cost: $37CND
Where to Buy: Department Store Exclusive 
Shades Available: One Shade (3 within the one palette) 
Permanent 

My Initial Thoughts: Okay so can we talk about how cute the little tweezers are..I mean adorable! Moving on. The palette it self is beautifully done. It would be perfect for travel or a beginner. My con about this is the obvious lack of a colour for a ginger like myself. I also can't JUST use powder because of my blond brows, it just ends up looking funky. That being said, the formulation of the highlighting powder, the wax and the brow powder is great. It's a really classy, elegant travel brow product. I just wouldn't say you need to drop everything and run out to go pick it up. 

Ombre Matte Eyeshadow(s) *

02 Nude Pink

Cost: $24CND
Where to Buy: Department Stores & Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix
Shades Available: Up to 6
Permanent 
 
My Initial Thoughts: Now speaking of products you need to drop everything and go get..this would be one (or 6) of them. Talk about the perfect matte powder, these feel like silk. It is an ultra finely milled powder and blends beautifully. It is really hard to make a good matte eyeshadow, because some can end up with that chalky, powdery feeling. This feels a very smooth creamy powder. I want all of them!! Only con..I dislike the plastic package...am I the only one that LOVES the sound of opening and closing glass product jars? Yup I have issues. 

3-Dot Liner *

Cost: $28CND
Where to Buy: Department Store & Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix 
Shades Available: Two - Black (P) & Brown (LE)  
Limited Edition Shade 

My Initial Thoughts: It's so strange, and gimmicky..it makes me love it! It has a rich chocolate brown colour, and very easy to work it. I think for someone who is looking for a more natural look, this is perfect. I also love how it is not too watery..some liners can be a hot watery mess. This one is just pigment with easy application. Now the idea behind this is that you are able to place is in between your lashes to create a fuller lash look. I think that it would work best with those who wear a brown mascara, but lets face it I am crazy and wear the darkest black I can find. Overall it's a fun product and great for enhancing your lash look. 

Rouge Eclat *

Picture
20 Red Fuchsia
Picture
Cost: $27CND
Where to Buy: Department Stores & Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix
Shades: 5 New Shades
Permanent 

My Initial Thoughts: Now I adore Clarins lipstick formulations. The Rouge Eclat series is actually an anti-aging lipstick, it boosts collagen and has many moisture ingredients to ensure a well hydrated lip all day long. This colour in particular is like a red/pink, it has a blue undertone (so great for making those teeth look white!). It has a great smell (just like most Clarins products do). Love this colour and another from the collection that caught my eye is 16-Candy Rose.

Overall Thoughts

I like the idea of a matte collection. Mattes are very classic and never go out of style, they also suit all age groups. The quality of the products is what I would expect from Clarins. They are always elegant but still on trend. 

What do you think of the idea of mattes for Fall? Do you hate the fact that I am talking about Fall and it's not even August? ;) 

Until next time,
