Who We Are

Melissa, Co-Founder

Hair: Thick, medium texture, and prone to flyaways due to lots of random coarse strands; currently dark golden brown

Eyecolor: Hazel

Age: 31

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Clarins Multi-Blush Cream Compact (in Apricot & Litchee)

What They Say: The convenient make-up companion for busy women, Multi-Blush enhances the color of your cheeks, illuminates eyes and brightens lips with soft, subtle colour. Its unique texture combines the softness of a cream with the smoothness of an ultra-fine powder and melts into the skin for natural, long-lasting results. Apply Multi-Blush with your fingertips and create the colour effect and intensity you want. The result is subtle, natural, long-lasting make-up with a beautiful finish every time.

Jamie's Thoughts: I wanted so badly to love this product, but I just couldn't seem to make it happen. This is a mediocre offering from the usually-fabulous Clarins cosmetics line. My main beef is the suggested method of application: I hate using my fingers to apply blush. It spreads oils all over my combination skin, which leads to irritation and breakouts. That said...

As a blush...
Tough to apply, didn't go on smoothly (I felt like I was tugging at my face), stayed on for about 4-5 hours, color was true to description in that it was luminous but not shiny

As an eyeshadow...
I found the colors too close to skin tone for my complexion - anyone who can rock a peach or pink eye would love this. The product just isn't very smooth (again, with the tugging!).

As a lippie...
It's very matte - no shimmer whatsoever, so take that into account when considering a purchase. Staying power was almost nonexistent. Does not combine well with other lip products.

The Litchee color (a light, mauvey pink) was fairly versatile, and would be a great choice for anyone with a cooler complexion. The Apricot is quite peachy, and looks almost orange in some light. Overall, I'm moderately disappointed.

Retail Price: $26.50 USD (at us.clarins.com or go here to find a retail location near you)
