Lip kits are fun, contouring is free surgery, and those sexy ass Anastasia Beverly Hills palettes make me look far more attractive than I actually am. But damn does a girl really want to roll out of bed, throw on some lip stain, and head out the door. C’est is the life of a busy woman am I right?
The explorer page markets high-maintenance beauty routines –which I love in moderation– but it’s not realistic. I can snatch my face if you give me an hour, but on account that I hit the snooze button at least five times, that’s hardly ever going to happen on an average day. My best looks are reserved for events or the weekend. A get-up-and-go approach stems from the confidence we have with our skin. I am forever jealous of the women who make no make-up days look so fucking effortless and I want in.
In comes Clarins Multi-Active Jour line, which is an anti-aging day cream. This girl really dares to iron out my face during THE DAY. Lola at the Clarins pop-up inside The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace put me up on game 👏. We were discussing all things low-maintenance and how common a fall beauty routine amongst women actually is.
The Clarins Multi-Active Jour day cream counteracts (rrrrr rewind: yes I said COUNTERACTS) signs of aging caused BY STRESSORS LIKE LACK OF SLEEP (cough cough all of us and Netflix-binge moments) and pollution. It smells soooo good; think a waft of rose petals with a hint of relaxing herbal scent entering your nostrils.
DID YOU KNOW: That Clarins started as a spa company? They literally specialize in skin, so you’re in good hands. They have products for every skin type and their products are also rosacea friendly. There’s more than 45 “Spa by Clarins” worldwide.
Some of the key ingredients that make the Clarins Multi-Active Jour day cream effective is thanks to Myrothamnus extract (fights fine lines and dullness); teasel extract (prevents wrinkles); and glycerin (moisturizes). And does it MOISTURIZE. After my Fall Recharge session, my skin super hydrated, silky-soft, and so luminous I legit thought Lola snuck in some Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighter palette in there. But, nope.
The natural glow of my skin was achieved by the products she used, which were only five: face creams, serums, and of course sunblock. Living in a dry city like Las Vegas means anyone anywhere can honestly benefit from incorporating these items into their fall beauty routine right now. Especially, if you’re trying to achieve the roll-out-of-bed and out-the-door look, like me. I need those extra 30-minutes of sleep. You?
Products used on my face: Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion with aloe vera and alcohol free; Double Serum complete anti-age control; Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate; Clarins Multi-Active Jour day cream, UV Plus anti-pollution and multi-protection sunscreen.
