Clarins recently launched Water Lip Stains and a 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Lip Oil in Shade Iconic 54, and to celebrate both, the French prestige beauty house is opening the doors to the Sweetheart Saloon pop-up. Over two days, guests will visit the Texas-meets-Parisian saloon in NYC's Nolita to experience the #ClarinsLipOil bar, a temporary tattoo parlor, and a vintage photo booth—and the first 100 visitors each day will take home limited-edition merch.
Beyond collecting inspiration for a fresh look, guests can treat themselves to custom lip shade-inspired beverages crafted by Swig and candies from Lil Sweet Treats.
Clarins' Sweetheart Saloon mashes up two coveted BeautyTok aesthetics: quintessential French girl beauty and cowboycore.
