Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector

We are currently loving Clarins Natural Lip Protectors.  Not brand new to the market but certainly up there as a contender for gorgeous nude/barely there lips to match with the classic smokey eye or “no makeup” makeup look (ie the one that your boyfriend thinks is totally natural when it is in fact, CC cream, sheer lip tint and a nude eyeshadow!)

It contains a plethora of lovely ingredients –  extracts of Shea Butter, Wild Mango and plant perhydrosqualene repair and soften.  Derivatives of Vitamins A and E reinforce the repairing action and protect against free radicals.

The sponge applicator is really handy for dosing out the right amount for that pretty look.  Comes in a good range of colours suitable for many skin tones – from rose, apricot or nude shimmer to petal, candy and rosewood shimmer.  As it’s a gentle wash of colour – it doesn’t last for ages and ages but with all those lovely ingredients it’s not too much of an issue to reapply throughout the day.

At £17 they are at the far end of the lip gloss/tinted balm market but they are excellent quality and you get a decent amount in the tube.
