When it comes to Christmas and birthdays I tend to tell family not to bother or just tell them to pop money in a card as I never find myself wanting anything specific. My mum in particular dislikes not buying me a gift and likes me to have "little treats" that she knows only I can use, as she tries to encourage me to look after myself. As a result my "little treats" usually take form of premium cosmetics or skincare products as she knows I probably wouldn't buy these for myself anymore. In my birthday goodie bag this year one of the gifts was the Clarins Natural Lip Perfector. ***Clarins Natural Lip Perfector*** The Clarins ...  Read the complete review

Clarins is another premium cosmetics and skincare brand that I absolutely love. This is a product that I happened to try at a friend's house. She told me how much she loves it and urged me to try it. It is called a Natural Lip Perfector in the Instant Light range. The Instant Light range has a few other products in its range such as, the Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base and the Complexion Perfector. It is a range that in my opinion helps to give natural finishes to make-up and helps to enhance a make-up look without it being obvious that you have put lots of make-up on. ----------------------- WHAT IS THIS PARTICULAR LIP PRODUCT? ...  Read the complete review

The Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector cost me £12.60 from John Lewis - which I ordered online and then received it 2 working days later. The three colours that are available from John Lewis are Rose Shimmer, Apricot Shimmer and Nude Shimmer. From the look of the samples online, I thought the Apricot Shimmer looked too orangey from my skin tone, and so I opted for the Rose Shimmer (a subtle pink) and for the Nude Shimmer (a pinky - beige). The Lip Perfector is a lip-gloss which comes in a squeezy and transparent plastic tube with a metal lid. Under the lid is a sponge applicator, which fills with the gloss when you gently squeeze the tube. I have ...  Read the complete review

I must have tried a fair few lip products over the years, looking for something that was natural looking, yet enhancing, and something that would also make my lips feel nice and moisturised too. I find many glosses too sticky (or too glossy!) and balms don't really do much for the colour of your lips. So I was delighted to find this Clarins product really seems to do everything you could want from a lip product! It really does feel as if it is doing your lips some good and mine always feel very moisturised when I'm wearing it - it is just as easy to use if your lips are quite dry (which I find you can't do with traditional glosses as they just seem to stick to ...  Read the complete review

I think anyone who regulary reads my reviews will of guessed by now that I am pretty addicted to lipstick and lipgloss! I have an enormous collection however this product is definetly one of my favourite lipglosses. The lipgloss retails at around the £15 mark and is available from a wide variety of places. I got mine from Boots in store as I had a Boots voucher. The colours available are Rose Shimmer, Nude Shimmer and Apricot Shimmer. I have the lipgloss in Apricot Shimmer and I absolutely adore it! It's a gorgeous sheer pink with undertones of a peachy sort of colour - it's amazing. This lipgloss comes in an average looking lipgloss squeezy tube. The tube is ...  Read the complete review
