3D Radiance Face Powder (Limited Edition)
This Pixel Art highly graphic 3D Radiance Face Powder is about precision with its colour pixel motifs. In a brush stroke, the beige and peach colour duo evens and illuminates. Pink and mauve bring a touch of freshness and radiance. The powder is really soft and lightweight, and add a glow to my dull complexion. I love the ultra smooth texture! I use it as a finishing touch after my foundation by applying the powder using a big powder brush on my skin. It can also double up as a soft pink blusher if I were to sweep my brush across the pink little squares, and apply the powder on the apple of my cheeks. The shade blend seamlessly into my skin, yet gives a touch of radiance.


It is presented in the classic Clarins light gold flat case, with Clarins signature. A red velvet purse is also included.

Ombre Minerale 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette (New)

A palette of four eye colours to play for a variety of looks and there are 6 colour harmonies with modern shades that are easy to match and blend. Highly concentrated in mineral pigments, these eye shadows really light up the eyes. Can be applied dry or damp for a natural or sophisticated look.


They look so pretty ....

There are many ways you can use these lovely palettes, here is one of the ways...
This simple guide is also printed on the back of the packaging..
Each harmony comprises two satin shades, a darker eye shadow liner and an iridescent highlighter to mix and match to suit you.


  • One shade: apply a light shade or the highlighter over the eyelid to open the eyes with a transparent finish.

  • Two shades: play on contrast by combining light and dark shades.

  • Three shades: apply one of the satin shades, the shadow liner on the eye contour and finish with a touch of highlighter!


The swatches of 01 Pastels and 04 Indigo..
The shades in '01 Pastels' palette are really all pastels, except for the brown which is the darkest out of the 4, good to use as a liner or to apply at the outer V of our eyes. It is a palette that I will reach for if I want a soft and subtle look that add radiance to my eyes. 

Now look at '04 Indigo' palette, a very big contrast in term of colors as compared to  '01 Pastels'.  Personally I fell in love at first sight when I saw the picture of '04 Indigo' and the shades look even gorgeous in pans..In fact this is my very first blue palette, and I am really loving it! The texture is soft and gives a silky finish. The colours appear intensified when the eye shadow is applied with a damp applicator.
Each Ombre Minerale 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette is presented in the classic Clarins light gold flat case together with a red velvet purse.

Instant Liner (New)

With its liquid texture and foam applicator, Instant Liner draws a high-precision, regular, intense black line in one stroke. Its light gold and black bottle has refined, elegant, feminine lines.


Its foam applicator is sturdy and able me to draw my eye liner easily.  


A liner that dries quickly. However, the lines that can be drawn using this liner are not those ultra thin lines. Not as fine as the lines drawn using a mechanical pencil though. But I love how intense the black liner appear on my skin.. Super Black! ('',)
