Clarins Summer 2016 Collection review
The Clarins Summer 2016 collection is full of beauty products that will enhance your inner goddess. From bronzer to waterproof eyeshadow, Clarins beauty put forward an excellent, curated collection this season. I've shared a review of Clarins' summer collection, as well as a beauty look pulling together my favourite products from the line.
To pull off this natural summer look perfect for the beach, I'm wearing Clarins Ombre Waterproof Cream eyeshadow in Golden Sand for the base, and Taupe in the crease. I used my fingers to pat on the base colour and blend in the accent. I finished my eyes with my favourite eyeliner and Double Fix Mascara. For my skin, I used my regular base and added the new Clarins Bronzing and Blush powder duo and sealed it in with Clarins Fix Make-Up so that it would last all day. For lips, I used the Clarins Natural Lip Perfector which gave a light colour and great shine without being sticky.

My absolute favourite products from this release are the Clarins Bronzing and Blush powder duo and the Clarins Self-Tanning Milky Lotion. I have been on the quest for the perfect self-tanning moisturizer, and I've found it. I've tried drugstore brands and even La Mer, but the Clarins formula delivers a bronzy hue, isn't patchy and smells like HEAVEN. I love the intoxicating fig scent. I've been using it once a week to keep my tan on!

As for the fashion of the watch, I like that it’s simple and black. I would have preferred a silicone band to make it more comfortable to wear, but I suspect that as the unit pops out, you could swap bands as well. My main complaint is that the plastic on the back of the unit makes for a hot and sweaty device. I tried loosening the watch a bit but if it’s too lose, I worry it won’t be accurate in its heart rate measurements. I think this has more to do with the shape and design of the watch, and perhaps a method for ventilation would improve the wearability for me on a sweaty run! I find the all black to be really sleek, and in comparison to other GPS run watches out there, the design is incredibly aesthetically pleasing, and I have worn it a few times throughout the day to track my steps. During the day, I like that the time display is always visible, as well as the date. I also like that in a couple buttons, I can access my steps data and heart rate information. I find the navigation and accessibility of the data much simpler than on my Apple Watch.
As for the battery life, I found I could wear this watch for a few days in a row to track steps and a couple little workouts and a run or two without losing power. This is MILES ahead of my Apple Watch, which I need to recharge once a day (especially if I track a workout). I would definitely feel more confident going into a race with the TomTom Spark, because I know my tunes would keep playing, while the device would continue to track my run.
A great pair of shoes can be the starting point for your entire outfit… especially when they command attention in a bold hue, gravity-defying height, or strappy laces. This couldn’t be more true than when I received my second pair of shoes from the
