Clarins goes organic…


Well, not exactly – but their new Ecocert-certified soap has got us in quite a lather of excitement, and you’ve got to start somewhere. It smells Clarins-ishly botanical, and (we are assured) the fragrance lasts till the very end of the hefty bar. We’ll have to take their word for this as it’ll probably take us until at least the official launch date – February next year – to finish ours! (Might have to create a Tried & Tested Soap category for Beauty Bible now, just so we can put it through its paces properly.) NB: it’s good for bodies, but also – those of you who can’t kick your soap-and-water habit - for faces. Here, the Clarins soap ‘stars’ in a new line-up of goodies unveiled to us by Clarins babes Jini Sanassy and Alexandrea Daniel – including a long-lasting foundation that we’re very impressed by indeed. And – zut alors! – you’ll see that Clarins’s make-up packaging has also been given a long-overdue makeover: sleek, silver and so much sexier.
