As I mentioned in my previous post, the Bronzing Compact from the Clarins Sunkissed Summer Makeup Collection is a must-have for me every year, because of its sheer beauty. So, when the entire 2020 collection landed at my door, I could not contain my excitement.
Let’s take a moment to admire the packaging and embossing of the Healthy Glow Bronzing Compact (R485). What I love most about this bronzer is the size, it is huge, and will last for ages. The powder has that signature Clarins scent, which isn’t overpowering, but smells beautiful, it is soft and silky and looks glowy and healthy on the skin. The powder also contains a botanical micropatch that improves moisture levels on the the skin and prevents dehydration, so you will not get that dreaded dry, powdery look. The compact has three shades of matte bronzing powder that can be used together or alone, for that perfectly customised summer glow. Last year I bought the bronzer for about R600, so I am really happy to see the price drop too.
The collection also features a brand new launch; Twist to Glow (R420), a 2-in-1 Healthy Glow Powder for eyes and cheeks, although I have only used it on my cheeks. This looks like a stick blush, doesn’t it? It is actually a solid product that is transformed into a silky soft ultra fine powder in one twist. This is the perfect blush for travelling, as you don’t have to worry about finding your favourite blush smashed in transit. Twist to Glow comes in three shades, Glowy Coral, Radiant Pink and Mandarin Gleam, the Coral (in the pink tube) and Mandarin (in the orange tube) are my favourites. The powder is buttery soft and silky, and leaves skin with a luminous glow. My favourite way to use it is to twist it slightly, and then swirl my brush into the ground powder and apply.
Another new launch is the Lip Twist Duo Water Tint & Balm (R320). Also a 2-in-1 product, this lippie has a pigmented tint with a felt tip on the one side and a shimmery, shiny balm on the other side. I really like the Clarins Water Stain, and this is a more pigmented version of that, it feels like absolutely nothing on the lips, but gives a long-lasting wash of colour, Coral Sunrise is my favourite, and I will be wearing it all summer long! I am not too much of a fan of the balm though, I like the texture and the feel, but the shimmer is not something I see myself wearing. In the swatches below, the first photo is of the tint only, and the second one has the balm over.

Gorgeous post. I have a Clarins bronzer that I only get out when I’m on holiday and just after. It is perfect at giving you that real summer glow! I love these pinks and the red lippies could work for Autumn too!

The Clarins bronzer has such a beautiful pattern on it, I wouldn’t want to use it!
The balms look really interesting and I love the look of the colours! I still really like their Instant Light Lip Perfectors, they were some of the best lip products to come out in the last 10 years I reckon.
Oooh the Lip Twist Duo Water Tint & Balm look and sound really interesting x
The Twist to Glows look gorgeous! I always love their bronzers x
The packaging is gorgeous! Dying for that bronzer x
