Holiday 2013: Clarins The Essentials Eye Palette.

Clarins has launched The Essentials Eye Palette, a holiday eye palette that will not only have you creating beautiful neutral eye looks all season long, but all year long. This is Clarins’ blockbuster natural eye palette and it couldn’t be more beautiful.

The Essentials Eye Palette contains 10 mineral eye shadows in beige, taupe and brown tones that can be mixed, matched and layered to create a variety of looks. The shadows have matte, satin and pearl finishes and all are very pigmented so looks can take you from day to night with ease. The shadows are silky soft and wear well all day long. I definitely have no problem playing up the drama with the variety of colors. Don't let the natural shades fool you, because browns are never boring.

The palette includes a mirror and double ended brush made with cruelty free natural pony hair. It is great for blending the shadows out.

As this is a limited edition holiday palette, Clarins is supporting a great cause and there is no better time than the holidays to give back. By purchasing the Essentials Eye Palette you are supporting Clarins initiative to perserve the Kuntanawa culture and ecosystem. In partnership with the PurProject organization, Clarins is dedicated to preserving the Kuntanawa culture by planting 10,000 trees known for their medical and cosmetic properties, allowing them the means to live in total independence and in harmony with nature.

The Essentials Eye Palette sells for $45.00 and will be available this month at Clarins counters and on clarins.com.
