Clarins Samples

On my visit to Macy's to learn about Clarins and to get the products I mentioned in my earlier Clarins post, I also got several samples that I really am liking:

• Firming Brightening Serum - helps clear up any darker areas on the skin (sun damage)
• Day Screen High Protection SPF 40 - this is an e3p, physical sunscreen product that helps counteract some of the environmental pollutants and stressors while protecting with an SPF that's one of the highest around
• Brightening Hydrating Day Lotion SPF 20 oil free - really wonderful spf product to go under your makeup
• Extra-Firming Lip and Contour Gentle Exfoliator - a citrus scented very light exfoliator that melts as you massage it in
• Extra-Firming Lip and Contour Balm - this is one of the best balms I've tried. It melts into the lips without being overly greasy, and is the perfect thing to use with long-lasting (often drying) lipsticks.

All of these products are very light and blend into the skin very well. The brightening serum is not on the Clarins website and the sample was so small I had two very light uses out of it.
