ClarinsMen at the Hisham Oumlil Fall 2009 Show

Celebrity artist D’angelo Thompson (pictured above with model) used ClarinsMen products at the Hisham Oumlil 2009 Fall Fashion show on February 18^th at the Audi Showroom to create a clean, flawless and matte face.

D'angleo used ClarinsMen Lip Guard, ClarinsMen Shine-Free Gel and ClarinsMen Moisture Gel to provide a fresh, natural and modernized look that complimented Hisham’s fall collection of utilitarian tweed overcoats and authoritarian suites, inspired by Daniel Plainview, protagonist of the film There will Be Blood.

To obtain the look, D’angelo Thompson applied ClarinsMen Moisture Gel on clean and perfectly scrubbed skin. ClarinsMen Lip Guard was used to condition and revitalize lips. For the final touch, D'angelo used ClarinsMen Shine Free Gel to refresh and mattify the skin. Clarins matte Bronzing Duo was applied as needed to warm up the face.

Looking good, boys!

Clarins HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm: I'm Just That Into You.

Dear Clarins HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm,

Despite your non recession-friendly price tag of $24, I think you are essential for the rough winds that do shake the darling buds of FEBRUARY. But thy eternal summer "climate," which you impart on my lips shall not fade. I love that you're more heavy duty than a balm stick. You don't require me to dip my finger into a bacteria-ridden pot. You taste fresh, but not overly-flavored. When I want flavor, I go to Bonne Bell.

But my fave thing about you is your unmatched long-lasting effects. I swipe on a bit in the morning and find my pout is still hydrated until nearly LUNCHTIME. Your consistency is highly emollient and works a deep level to REPAIR any chapped snagginess, which I certainly don't need in my lifestyle. You do this with Ceramide 3, identical in structure to skin lipids. This stuff helps repair lips by rebalancing the skin’s natural barrier effect. You even gloss my lips up slightly so that I feel glam even for my morning commute.

In short, I AM just that into you.

Love,
Amber
