Lancôme Juicy Shakers! FEATURE

Colour, shine, sensoriality and comfort…Juicy Shaker reconciles the apparently irreconcilable. -Lancôme

I was kindly sent these beautiful Lancôme Juicy Shakers and I decided to title this blog post ‘Feature’ because these beauties don’t need a review my lovely friends. These are exceptional and beautiful. They are perfection in every way and I’m here to share the many reasons why I love these sweet beauties. Along with the original ten incredible flavours there are eight new shades/flavours!

“It’s time to shake up the rules…” -Lancôme

First let me explain what Juicy Shaker is. Each Lancôme Juicy Shaker is shaped like a fancy cocktail shaker filled with the loveliest blend of silky oils and infused with beautiful pigments. “Juicy shaker echoes two emblematic Lancôme products: the Shaker, one of the fabulous bijou lipsticks imagined by the brand’s found, Armand Petitjean, in the earliest years. Created in 1946, when cocktails were making their mark as symbols of glamour everywhere, with daringly avant-garde silhouette for its time, in inspired the name and the very concept of Juicy Shaker. Lancôme’s other inspiration was of course Juicy Tubes, that iconic gloss- so often imitated but never duplicated- which changed the rules of make-up in 2000 with its fun spirit, ease of use and zesty fragrances. Heritage and innovation: the whole Lancôme philosophy is embodied.”

In my info post New Juicy Shaker Shades by Lancôme INFO, I discuss how the beautiful shakers have nourishing oils like the following: Peach kernel oil: which is soft and nourishing. Sweet almond oil: which leaves the lips very supple and re-structured. Cranberry oil: a wonderful anti-oxidant, protective and restorative of skin’s protective barrier because of its richness in Omega 3 and 6. Musk rose oil: which is a regenerating and soothing oil.

The packaging is really unique. I’ve never seen anything like this before. It is shaped like a mini cocktail shaker which is super cute and pretty. The oil and pigment in the container is separate and as you shake it the formula blends together to create the prettiest and loveliest formula for the lips. This formula will bring shine, gloss, hydration, nourishment and beautiful colour to the lips. Oh yes! and they smell SO AMAZING! The applicator is so wonderful and I absolutely love it. It is soft and cushiony.

“Like a sponge, its alveolar texture absorbs just the right dose of formula for ultra-simple and intuitive application-all the more so thanks to its conical shape, which perfectly hugs the lip contours. In a single stoke, this next generation tip applies a film of shiny colour so fine it’s tempting to re-apply over and over: the result can thus be built up for made-to -measure intensity, with no risks of overloading lips. Dab the cushion over the centre of the lips to leave them as if re-plumped with irresistible touch or colour, or apply over the whole lips for a more uniform effect. Each stroke of the applicator is a true colour-infused caress.” -Lancôme

“SHAKE IT, TWIST IT, LOVE IT. COLORS THAT TURN YOU ON.” -Lancôme

I absolutely love the new colours and flavours because they are sweet and delicious. I’m all about sweet flavours, scent and fragrance and the new colours are like sweet desserts and candy! I kindly received two of the popular shades along with three new shades that I’m madly in love with! First the Wondermelon smells exactly like watermelon. It is delicious and so beautiful. If you miss summer definitely try the Wondermelon. Also the colour is beautiful and it gives the lips a really healthy feel and look. Next is Freedom of Peach and it smells exactly like fresh peaches. If you love summer days and fresh peaches definitely try this one.

The new shades include Marshmattack. It is sweet and smells like a sweet marshmallow dessert. I absolutely love it and adore the colour as well. Perfect for spring. Next is Cloudy Candy and if you like sweets, desserts, candy, lollypops this is everything! Cloudy Candy is candy heaven! Last lovely shiny Juicy Shaker is Snow-Tilly. If you are a vanilla lover this one is for you. I love this one because it is not too sweet but gives just beautiful shine and glitter. Not too much glitter but just a little hint of something really special. I’m a huge vanilla fan so Snow-Tilly is definitely a favourite. The perfect shine, little glitter and hint of vanilla loveliness. I really love all of the Juicy Shakers. Which one do you want to try?

There is one problem with the Juicy Shakers…I can’t stop using them! They are so good I can’t stop putting them on! I’m literally obsessed!

“Freshly shaken, Juicy Shaker Dresses lips in a splash of radiant colour. Repeat application until you achieve the desired colour intensity. Simply brilliant…”

Lancôme launched new juicy shaker shades inspired by the very Millenial friendly pastel colors from the fun and sugary gaming universe of the 90s! Eight NEW vibrant shades, eight irresistible fragrances, Bi-Phase Formula combines nourishing oils & saturated pigments. Lightweight oil for soft, radiant, and comforted lips. First lip cushion applicator with addictive, pillow soft feel.

Why Juicy Shaker is So Lancôme… Juicy Shaker echoes two emblematic Lancôme products: the Shaker, one of the fabulous bijou lipsticks imagined by the brand’s founder, Armand Petitjean, in the earliest years. Created in 1946, when cocktails were making their mark as symbols of glamour everywhere, with a daringly avant-garde silhouette for its time, it inspired the name and the very concept of Juicy Shaker. Lancôme’s other inspiration was of course Juicy Tubes, that iconic gloss – so often imitated, but never duplicated – which changed the rules of make-up in 2000 with its fun spirit, ease of use and zesty fragrances. Heritage and innovation: the whole Lancôme philosophy is embodied.

Phase 1: an ingenious blend of silky oils The Juicy Shaker texture literally fuses with lips on application, thanks to four precious ingredients: oils with complementary properties, which instantly offer lips a smooth and plumped-up look, alongside dazzling shine and absolutely no sticky sensation.

– Peach kernel oil, softening and nourishing.

– Sweet almond oil, to leave lips supple and re-structured.

– Cranberry oil, anti-oxidant, protective and restorative of skin’s protective barrier because of its richness in Omega 3 and 6.

– Musk rose oil, regenerating and soothing.

Phase 2: an infusion of pigments Thanks to its original biphasic formula, Juicy Shaker combines comfort with the colour impact of perfectly dosed pigments in a multitude of vibrant shades with an adjustable finish… A dispersant agent guarantees uniform pigment diffusion when the texture is shaken, for perfect colour distribution on application. Result: freshly shaken, Juicy Shaker dresses lips in a splash of radiant colour. Repeat application until you achieve the desired colour intensity. Simply brilliant…

A sensorial applicator Lancôme creates its first ever cushion applicator for lips: a surprising tool that’s velvety, supple and soft to the touch… In combination with the exclusive Juicy Shaker formula, it ensures the quintessence of gentleness to leave lips pampered, soft and supple with each successive application. Like a sponge, its alveolar texture absorbs just the right dose of formula for ultra-simple and intuitive application – all the more so thanks to its conical shape, which perfectly hugs the lip contours. In a single stroke, this next-generation tip applies a film of shiny colour so fine it’s tempting to re-apply over and over: the result can thus be built up for made-to-measure intensity, with no risk of overloading lips. Dab the cushion over the centre of the lips to leave them as if re-plumped with an irresistible touch of colour, or apply over the whole lips for a more uniform effect. Each stroke of the applicator is a true colour-infused caress. -Lancôme

The Essentials Collection by CLARINS

I’m here to share with you the beautiful: The Essentials Collection. This collection is in collaboration with the PUR PROJECT. “The partnership between Clarins and Pur Projet contributes to the Povos da Floresta reforestation project, which helps to preserve and protect Indian tribes’ rich Amazon ecosystem. With the purchase of this palette, a tree is planted in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest and you are helping to support the Ashaninka Indians.”

The collection consists of a stunning Eye Make-up Palette and Lip Comfort Oil. The eyeshadow palette has lovely scattered annatto flowers all over it. I absolutely love this palette and the formula of the eyeshadows are soft, beautiful and blend nicely. They are creamy and smooth. The entire collection and collaboration with the PUR Project is truly amazing and powerful. I love collaborations that help communities.

“The small tree from tropical America produces pink flowers and red fruit in the form of a heart-shaped pod covered in thorns, containing red seeds. A symbol of power for the American Indians who associated its juice with the concept of eternal life, the annatto was used to dye food, objects and fabrics. In addition, it served as ritual body paint and lipstick, as it still does today in Aztec and Mayan communities.” -Clarins

The ten new eyeshadows are beautiful with rosy shades: fresh pink, grey-violet, taupe, violet grey, plum and black violet with a satin effect, beige, smoky pink, aubergine with a matte finish and a touch of pink diamond.

The Essentials Palette – $62.00

Available at Hudson’s Bay and on Clarins.com

For several years Clarins has worked with Pur Project to support Amazonian Indian Communities and in particular the Ashaninka, to help them maintain their autonomy. This has created strong ties. Today Clarins dedicates its new “The Essentials” 2016 Make-up Collection to these communities, to celebrate this special friendship. A collection with two exclusive editions, The Essentials Eye Make-up Palette and Lip Comfort Oil, enriched with key plant ingredient traditionally used by the Ashaninka as make-up.

I swatched The Essentials Palette and it applies nicely. I really love the warm colours and found the formula to apply evenly and smoothly. “The annatto seed is the star ingredient of this winter collection. Present in The Essentials Eye Make-up Palette eyeshadows, it helps provide comfort and in Lip Comfort Oil (red berry shade) it nourishes and comforts the lips. *Not shown in this blog post the Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil $25.00 “

Eco responsible pack: A make-up palette that respects the environment.
The material used to make this palette was carefully selected following Clarins eco-responsible charter to reduce product volume and effects on the environment.

Quo Summer 2016 Limited Edition Collection

Summer is here and with it comes this beautiful Summer 2016 Limited-Edition Collection by Quo Cosmetics. The Packaging is so beautiful! It is sturdy plastic and the design on the exterior is so pretty! I adore the bold blue and the anchors and chains. It makes me feel like taking a vacation! Here is what comes in this Limited Edition Collection:

Eyeshadow Palettes

There are three

Lost at Sea, Sea Sun Sand & High Tide

$18

This is ‘High Tide’

This palette is really lovely. It has a lot of grey tones and two purples that I really like. It also has a black to create a smokey eye. The lighter colours are a little powdery but still work really well and blend nicely. I love the two purple shades. They are pretty and soft.

Precision Liquid Eye Liner In the Navy

$12

This liner is really nice. Love the fine tip and found it easy to work with. I love the Navy colour because it has a hint of colour but it also goes well with the eyeshadows and works really good together. The liner is smudge proof and at the same time it comes off easy when it is time to take off the makeup at the end of the day.

Bronzer

Sunny Days

$22

I adore this Bronzer. It really warms up the face without too much glitter and without orange tones. It has the perfect balance. It is soft and will give you the warmth you need for your complexion. I feel this would be beautiful for every skin tone. The lighter colour in this bronzer also makes for a great highlighter. I adore the big mirror. You can definitely use the mirror to put on all your makeup. It stays upwards when it is open and you can definitely take this on vacation. It is truly a beautiful bronzer and I highly recommend this.

Lip Oils

There are two lip oils

Set Sail & 40 Knots

$12

This is ‘Set Sail’

A very light and hydrating lip oil. Very nourishing for the lips and soothing. I love the scent. It is sweet and feels so beautiful on the lips. I like this lip oil because it is not heavy. Fantastic formula and perfect for the summer because lips can get dry and damaged from the sun. This lip oil is perfect for night time repair and hydration. It also gives a beautiful shine over any lipstick!

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil – Review

Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil – Review

Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil

The instant light lip comfort oil from Clarins Canada is a beautiful lip-plumping formula that feels very smooth and comfortable on the lips. It has a high-shine and a plumping results.

The high shine creates glossy, radiant and fuller looking lips. It’s made with plant oils: “Hazelnut oil nourishes, plumps and softens lips. Organic jojoba oil nourishes, smooths the skin without leaving a greasy effect, makes lips feel comfortable while enhancing them. Plum oil (for honey shade) protects from dehydration, leaving the skin soft and silky. Raspberry oil (for the raspberry shade) nourishes, protects the lips against ageing and has anti-oxidant properties.”-Clarins Canada

These oils are rich in fatty acids that protect the lips from dehydration and they restore the lips to look beautiful and radiant. The lip comfort oil formula feels wonderful on the lips and has a beautiful honey fragrance. Not sticky at all! You can use this on its own or on top of lipstick to give a beautiful shine.

I really love the formula and it feels really smooth and silky on the lips. The packaging is really beautiful. I love the clear container and I like the shape and size. The applicator is fluffy like a cocoon and soft on the lips. I totally recommend this beautiful Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil from Clarins Canada.
