Clarins offers 24-hour whitening

The new findings: Clarins laboratories, noticing the importance of hydration when it came to the skin’s ability to reflect light, decided to offer Asian women a new and powerful hydrating-whitening day-and-night duo and serum, Clarins White Plus Luminescent Day & Night.

Powered by trans-luminescent complex and hyaluronic acid, the duo and serum are enriched with ingredients to improve and ensure skin translucency, fairness and rosy luminescence by rebalancing specific skin mechanisms day and night.

What the range includes: During the day, Brightening Hydrating Emulsion SPF 20 / PA+++ / Oil-Free brightens, hydrates, protects and mattifies to deliver even, fair and matte skin.

At night, Smoothing Brightening Night Cream brightens, evens and hydrates skin to improve fairness and translucency.

Applied before the whitening duo, Intensive Brightening Serum boosts their 24-hour brightening effectiveness.

Where to get it: Clarins White Plus will be available exclusively in March at Rustan’s Makati and Clarins Skin Spa, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Alabang, Rustan’s Ayala Cebu, Rustan’s Gateway, and Essenses Rockwell.

A streak-free, natural blush from Clinique

What makes it unique: Clinique’s new Cheek Pop imparts only the purest color to provide a natural blush look with absolutely no trace of powder of buildup on cheeks. Cheek Pop’s lavishly silky formula achieves effortless color so vibrant and long-lasting that cheeks pop all day without a single streak.

The technology: Cheek Pop’s innovative formula begins as a smooth liquid, which is then transformed through a slow baking process into a powder feel that’s lightweight in texture and silky-smooth to the touch.

How to apply it: To achieve a “just-pinched” look, swirl the color onto a Clinique blush brush and sweep onto apples of cheeks, blending upwards toward cheekbone and temple. For a more robust effect, build up more layers for cheeks that really pop.

Where to get it: Available in March at Clinique counters nationwide.
