#CHMReviews – New Clairins Boosters

By Natalie Daoud

Never before have I been so excited to review a product; such is the brilliance of Clarins’ Beauty Boosters. This unique trio of products that boasts three varieties for all skin-stances: Detox, Energy and Repair. Boosters are vitamin-charged concentrates to supplement your daily moisturizers, to be used as little or as often as you want.  It is complete skincare autonomy.

Detox
We’ve all experienced those late nights where a tipple turns into six Gin and Tonics. After such evenings a detox is mandatory.  I used a precious three drops of Detox, and was pleased and intrigued by the fact that it didn’t change the consistency of my moisturizer. The combination of the detox and the daily cream bestowed much needed nutrients to my skin, leaving it feeling tight with an inexplicable sun-kissed glow. Perhaps it should be renamed radiance booster.

Energy
It is Wednesday. The hump of the week that plagues us all. I reluctantly open my eyes and climb out of bed, morosely trudging to face the day. I hopefully applied a few drops of Energy, and it was a dermalogical awakening. My skin felt refreshed and looked visibly brighter. The sudden transformation can only be equated to giving your skin an espresso (more likely this is the Ginseng in the ingredients).

Repair
Two nights ago, my hastiness to get to bed forced me to commit the cardinal skincare skin – I used makeup wipes. Those with sensitive skin will know that a sudden bout of rosacea is not uncommon after such incidents. That evening, in atonement, I mixed some of the Repair drops with my night cream. The professional packaging propounds the regenerating properties of the boosters, and Clarins’ does it deliver. This, combined with a full eight hours of sleep and my skin was not only completely regenerated and rejuvenated, but there was not one hint of rosacea. I had been forgiven.

Beauty boosters are unparalleled by any product on the market, and I predict they are here to stay. Don’t be late to the trend, get shopping and remember you heard it here first.

#CHM Review – bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Foundation by Russell Arkinstall

by Russell Arkinstall

Never one who has been afraid to approach a beauty counter for advice on which makeup is best for a man, bareMinerals is a favourite brand of mine and one I was recommended to use by many of the mens groomers we represent at Carol Hayes Management. No man wants to look “made up” but bareMinerals Blemish Remedy Foundation is great if you want to look revived after a late night or a long winter. It has taken me years to find the perfect match for not only a shade which matches my skin type, but also one which has a matte finish, covers blemishes and also makes it appear as though you are not wearing any makeup. bareMinerals uses all completely natural ingredients which is what drew me to the brand in the first place as most people with spots make the mistake of piling on makeup to cover their spots and instead clog up their skin, whereas bareMinerals still allows your skin to breathe.

bareMinerals blemish remedy foundation definitely does what it says on the box and as well as reducing the look of blemishes does also get rid of them. I was recommended to use the Seamless Buffing Brush in combination with the foundation and you can tell the brush was made in conjunction with the makeup as it gives a completely smooth finish and works perfectly. This is the perfect product for any man or woman who wants to achieve a ‘no makeup look’, I would recommend it to anyone.
