[Review] clé de peau BEAUTÉ 2016 Holiday Collection | Unabashed, Seductive, Dizzingly Free

Wearing clé de peau BEAUTÉ Radiant Cream Foundation & Radiant Liquid Rouge in 16 Bright Orange

Unabashed, totally comfortable in your own sensuality and be as bold as you can be, those were the feelings and qualities found in the roaring 1920s, a liberated new age for the post-war Europe, all being captured and effortlessly encapsulated in this year's clé de peau BEAUTÉ 2016 Holiday Collection, (here for more) with the theme called Les Années Folles. This exquisite looking collection, which we were introduced during the party here is a modern reflection of that bygone era of elegant tuxedos, colourful silk gowns accented with camellia corsages, sparkling jewelry, peacock headdresses and diamond tiaras. This is the result of clé de peau BEAUTÉ collaboration work with contemporary artist Ashley Longshore, where distinctive art decor inspired packaging are created. Painted with whimsical charm in bold strokes and colours, the carefree era and its bold and daring spirit came alive through this season's collectable pieces. We shall be sharing with you our experience with some of the beauty products from the range here.

clé de peau BEAUTÉ Radiant Cream Foundation
We were very much in love with the previous Radiant Fluid Foundation which we blogged about here, so with this one, we had pretty high hopes that it will deliver. No doubt, it does. Instead of a fluid foundation like its predecessor, this Radiant Cream Foundation has a creamy texture, yet feels totally smooth upon application and glides onto the skin like a dream. Comes in 8 shades selection (here for more), the shade that suits our complexion is B20.

Contains Chestnut Rose Fruist Extract to defend against the stressful effects of oxidation,  this luxurious cream foundation gives off that very natural look, with flawless coverage. It has the ability to even out skin tone really well and feels airy on the skin, yet moisturised at the same time. Skin looks silky smooth and radiant. So far, clé de peau BEAUTÉ has not failed to perform, as stated by this Japanese luxury brand.

clé de peau BEAUTÉ Radiant Liquid Rouge (Lipstick)
Comes in 8 lusciously vibrant shades (here for more), the elegantly packaged gradation tube is such a pleaser. This lipstick has a liquid texture, almost one that feels between a lip gloss and a lipstick, the shade that we received was 16 Bright Orange. The colour pay off is fairly good, it can either go with a natural swipe of colour on the lips, or one can actually layer on with one or two more swipes for colour intensity with deep, vivid shade. This one also feels moisturising on the lips and does not feel too sticky, like a usual lip gloss. We believe one would feel unapologetically sexy once you have these lovely shades of radiant liquid rouge on the lips!

clé de peau BEAUTÉ Cream Eye Color Solo
We have to confess that we have never been a huge fan of cream eyeshadow, as it does not seem to go well with our oily eyelids, creases on us somewhat after a certain period of time. When we received this one, in the shade 307 A Smoky Near Black Smoulders with Intensity (quite a mouthful, huh?), we did not quite know what to do with it. Smokey eyes are not our forte. From the little pan, this creamy mono colour almost black eyeshadow has little little specks of shimmer in it. We tried putting it on over our eyelids with the little double-ended applicator, it did smooth on nicely and smoothly, but just didn't quite look flattering on us. We did manage to find an alternative way to use it though, more of an eyeliner feel rather than a stand alone eyeshadow. With this, it worked much better for us.

Having said that, we are particularly intrigued by the other shades available though, like the 302 Sensitively Radiant Soft Pink (here for more shades selection), perhaps lighter shades may look better on us? So, this would be our least favourite amongst the ones we received. Of course, one of the eye-catching beauty items would be the new limited edition La Cream (The Cream) for the holiday seasons (here to explore). The eye and lip palette look equally enticing, especially the packaging them.

We would love to say a huge thanks to clé de peau BEAUTÉ Malaysia for the lovely beauty products to explore. Here for more about the brand and here to follow their instagram feed if you are curious about the updates. So, be bold, be glamorous and be beautiful with clé de peau BEAUTÉ this holiday season! It is still not too late to have fun and unleash your true beauty within, and let it shine through, radiantly *_^

Happy holidays, lovelies. Be happy always.

With love,
