• With the shine of a gloss and the hydrating, repairing action of a lip balm, Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balms are formulated with a 100% natural new generation polymer that creates a high shine light-catching glaze.
• Contains lip loving ingredients – mango oil (softens), Hydracire S (limits evaporation of moisture) & Vitamin E
• Instantly softens lips & provides long lasting moisture with a subtle fruity scent.
• Absolutely no sign of stickiness & feels more like a liquid balm than lipgloss.
• Sheer tint / coverage
• Verdict: There is only one word to describe this – AMAZEBALLS.  At last, the words ” long lasting” and “sticky” no longer needs to appear in the same sentence. Perfect for minimalists / weekends & the highly moisturising formula makes this great for preserving lips in tip top shape leading up to a special event.

Brand: Clarins
Range: Rouge Hydra Nude Smoothing Lipstick
Shade: Nude Beige #03
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Smooth & sheer nude lipstick with mango butter, Vitamin A and E and SPF 6.
• Available in 4 universal shades: Nude Rose, Nude Coral, Nude Beige & Nude Caramel – designed to enhance your natural lip tones.
• Nude Beige (pictured) is a warm nude for medium lip tones. The sheer finish allows your natural lip tone to show through & not look washed out.
• Verdict: A great nude lipstick is hard to find as it’s a very personal choice on which texture, pigment and shade suits you. If you like the idea of a very sheer nude, try it at a Clarins counter to see whether the Rose/Coral/Beige/Caramel variations of this nude lipstick range gives you the finish you’re looking for!
• Personally I find sheer nudes hard to work with due to my flushed lip tone & need more coverage than this offers.

Some like their nudes sheer, I like mine with a bit more coverage.

Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Click here to read yesterday’s rave review on this must-try lipstick range!
• Miami Pink is a vibrant peony pink, commonly seen on Korean celebrities, and is similar to Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in “Make Me Pink”.
• Recommend testing at the counters, since my skin vs. lip swatch gave such different results!
• A lip brush is all you need to ensure the high coverage pigment is applied evenly to blend with your lip tone.
• Available in 24 shades, of which Stef will be swatching some too!

Range: Rouge Prodige Lipstick
Shade: Clementine #118
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Rich, creamy, sophisticated and long lasting pigment with a waxy texture to ensure it stays put.
• Unlike other pigmented lipsticks (that often cause dry lips), it contains skin care ingredients to leave lips looking nourished, soft and comfortable.
• Clementine is a tangy orange, great for a statement bold lip.   It’s unique in that many orange shades out there are either sheer or matte.
• Verdict: Rouge Prodige lipsticks are a must-try for the lipstick lover! Even if bold orange is not your thing, there are 24 shades to choose from!
