With winter making everything about our appearance particularly dull, I’ve been tirelessly searching for the perfect pop of color for my pout that won’t zap my lips of the moisture that they need. Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector is ideal for these drying winter months and luckily it’s as hydrating and lovely as I had wished.

Product: Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector

Price: $23We Think: 

 

How to Use:

This tinted lip balm comes in a small, thin tube, the perfect size to fit into any purse or pocket. Simply swipe your chosen color across your lips until the color builds up. It’s available in six different shades, each one being pretty subtle, so it might take a few swipes to get the look you want.

 Results: 

If you’re faired skinned like myself, I recommend trying the shade Rose. It’s natural looking but gives you a pretty pink tint that amps up a washed out complexion. The creamy texture of the balm felt buttery soft when applied to my lips and it truly gave an amazing, long-lasting shine. After wearing the lip balm for a few hours, I noticed my lips weren’t starting to dry out or flake off like some lip colors do. Although the shine had left my lips, they felt soft and hydrated. I would definitely recommend using this lip balm. However, make sure to reapply every so often since the subtle color has the tendency to fade a bit after wear.Disclaimer: I received Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector as a sample.
