Clarins Bright Plus Range+Giveaway

clarins bright plus range

I have mentioned a few times before, that I really enjoy Clarins skin-care. I love the Daily Energizer Cream that I like applying in the mornings, the Pure Melt Cleansing Gel and their Lovely Lip Balm is everything! Recently I got introduced to the Clarins Bright Plus Range, with which for the first time the French skin care brand did local consumer research on.Dark spots are a concern to most women, and now according to the research 96% of South African women agree that their complexion look brighter*!

clarins bright plus range

The whole of the Bright Plus range consists of 3 products- The Hydrating Day Lotion (that also contains an SPF20), The Intensive Brightening Smoothing Serum and The Brightening Repairing Night Cream. All 3 of these products are enriched with Raspberry, Sea Lily and Alchemilla extracts that are the ones that fight the dark spots.The Night Cream also contains extracts of Parsley and Chamomile, while the Day Lotion has White Tea extracts and Serum contains Oat Sugars in it, to help smooth the skin.

clarins bright plus

I got to try out the Brightening Repairing Night Cream, but then I also shared it with my mom, because she is the one who has dark spots problems and concerns. She has only been using it for 2 weeks, and already she says that she has noticed a visible improvement and her skin looks and feels lighter and more illuminated. We both also agree that the cream has a very lovely consistence, and applies like a dream onto your face. Plus it smells delicious, which is always a huge plus in my books. The cream is a little bit thick, but it absorbs into your skin quickly. However it is called a Night Cream for a reason, and I would suggest only applying it before bed time because the active ingredients in it work overnight and you wake up with a fresher looking skin.

To celebrate this great range launching, today I am giving away a R1800 hamper consisting of all the products to one of you guys! To enter leave a comment and tell us, what is the brightest thing in your life? It could be your family, your job or even your skin!:) The answer is up to you!

The competition will run until next week Thursday, after which I will get my mom to pick a winner. Good luck!

*Consumer test on 168 South African women – 4 weeks of usage routine (serum & day cream & night cream)

    The brightest thing in my life would have to be my mom. She is so strong, and has been through so much in her life, but always manages to come out on top. Getting through infidelity, divorce, working full time while studying part time, all while raising my brother and I. We fight like cat and dog, and annoy eachother to death, but she is the brightest thing in my life.

    Gosh.
    How to choose just one? Because three come to mind, my mommy, my husband and my daughters because all of them are shining lights in my life. My mommy because she’s my mom and she just gets me. My husband because he’s my best friend.
    But if I had to choose just one, it would be my girls because they are my impossible dream come true, after 7 years of infertility and 7 miscarriages, I never thought I’d be so abundantly blessed, twice, via adoption.

    I am blessed beyond measures to have more than one thing that adds a brightness to my life. I have an incredibly supportive family that guide me and get me through all of lifes challenges. My mother adds so much light and love to my life, with her wisdom and support ive been able to become the independent person i am today. And as insignificant as animals may seem to some, I have a gorgeous little Toypom named Max, who brings so much happiness into my home. It’s impossible to have a bad day when hes around. Hes energy and love brightens my mood every day…

    The brightest thing in my life is seeing the smile on my sons face. Yes,he was diagnosed with Autism when he was 5 years old. Yes, he is a tad bit different from other kids out there. But his smile is so beautiful and so pure that it is bright enough to light up the night sky. He is my anchor and my inspiration and his little heart has inspired me to become a psychologist. My son who has a heart of gold has ignited a dormant passion deep within me and I pray that I can make milestones for children who think differently than others. People don’t realise that children are all like stars, we just have to know how to nurture them so that they can shine at their brightest!

    Waking up to another day is the brightest thing in my life (if it’s pain free it’s an extra bonus)!

    So where do I find the the Brightness in my day as Clarins promises me and so will deliver ! I wake in the morning to a simple cup of tea shared with quality time with my daughter , a BRIGHT beginning to my day ! I then spend the rest of my day “teaching ” hoping I can add the BRIGHTNESS the children bring to my life into theirs ! Coming home at the end of the day I find BRIGHTNESS in preparing a healthy meal for my family and then sharing it with them ! At the end of a long day I find BRIGHTNESS in giving THANKS to our creator for yet another BRIGHT day !

My actual face yesterday when my account was clone My actual face yesterday when my account was cloned 😩😨Please do not accept any messages from an account called irinadoman_team or insert your credit card details anywhere on this app, because scammers are out there trying hard to steal our cash 😩 My account was cloned because of a giveaway that I ran, and apparently this happens to a lot of brands and bloggers when a big prize is up for grabs! Their account gets cloned under a similar name and then their followers get a message saying that they are a winner, with a link to insert their credit card details. They say things like “We need you to cover the delivery cost of the prize” which is where they ask you to put in your card details- don’t do it!😩Anyways I was left quite traumatized from all this yesterday and the account is sadly still up, because this is Instagram 😒How fab is this photo of me getting swarmed by pigeons in Venice though?😂They were after my pizza bread 🤷🏻‍♀️ #scammerseverywhere #staywoke
Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a Since it was our engageversary yesterday(totally a word), let me tell you a (now) funny story about getting engaged 💍 I knew that we would be getting engaged sometime soon as we chatted about it, but I didn’t know when it would happen, so for a good month or two, I was always on standby-by mode, ready for things to happen😂 There were so many opportunities for a beautiful proposal as it was December, and we were traveling all over the country, visiting gorgeous locations 💙When Steve suggested  that we climb Lions Head in the Cape Town December heat at 12PM in the day, I did it, because I thought “Hey, maybe he will propose there(he didn’t😂)?” Then we went to visit the gorgeous Blyde River Canyon, and I thought surely this is the perfect place to do it(it wasn’t, but I did get this great pic😂)!?There were a couple of other close calls on the Balitto beach and in the bush, but in the end,  Steve chose his own time and place to do(as he usually does anyway). It was a very nerve wrecking month of my life, filled with “engagement ready” nails and outfits 😂 Who else can relate or was your engagement a total surprise😂?💁🏻‍♀️

🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷 It’s 🍷 Favourite wine farms in Cape Town 🍷
It’s been a tough time for the wine industry in the last year so why not still support your fav wine farm if you can, by going there for a meal? We recently did just that when we were in Cape Town and headed to @quoinrock for a delectable picnic 🧺 . Here are some other wine farms that I love not only for their delicious wine but also for their cheese platters, yummy lunches and crazy beautiful views. Drop your favorites below because sharing is caring and let’s support our local wine industry 😊
🍷 @cavalliestate - I mean obviously, it’s why we chose it as a wedding venue! Their food is SO good, I’ve had it a few times now and even though their seasonal menu changes often, I can safely say that anything that you order from their menu will be divine 🤤 
🍷 @capepointvineyardsofficial One of the best cheese and charcuterie boards I’ve ever had was here! The views are beautiful because you see the beach AND the vineyards at the same time 😍
🍷 @beauconstantia - If you’re feeling like treating yourself then head on over to Chefs Warehouse that is in Beau Constantia, or enjoy a cheese board in the wine tasting area, overlooking some gorgeous vineyards .
🍷 @leopardsleap - Lovely for a birthday or a special occasion, Leopards Leap offers a Family Table experience  which is a mouthwatering selection of starters, mains and desserts, prepared just for you🤤At R395 a person it’s a great deal for the awesome meal that you get, believe me I’ve tried it!
🍷 @babylonstoren - a bit of an obvious one, but I can’t help but love this place 🤷🏻‍♀️You can have a foodie experience at their Babel restaurant or a relaxed lunch at the Greenhouse. 
Tell me what your favorites are that I must visit next time 🍷
My actual excited face when I heard that my favori My actual excited face when I heard that my favorite TV show Sex And The City is coming back for another season!😆😆😆 It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I absolutely love the show(and watch on repeat all the time) and Carrie Bradshaw has definitely been one of my biggest style inspirations over the years. She was the biggest inspiration behind my wedding ceremony look(as she married her Mr Big in a white suit with the gorgeous blue Manolos too 😉)and she has inspired many of my looks over the years. From the 80s-vibe black jumpsuit that I wore in the streets of New York to whimsical tutu and tulle skirts that I bought because of her, Carrie has been a constant source of #OOTD inspiration for me! Are you as excited as I am about the reboot? Also which of these looks is your fav?
