Have we found the PERFECT lip balm?

I’m addicted to lip balm.

If you were to go through my purse right now, you’d probably find about a half dozen different lip balms. One of these lip balms would be a Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector (available here).

If you’re looking for a lip balm with a hint of tint that plumps and softens and offers incomparable shine, look no further!

Packed with shea butter, Vitamin E and wild mango extract, these lip balm perfectors do just that: they perfect your pout.

Chapped lips?

Gone.

Thin lips?

Consider them plumped.

These beauties, housed in very sturdy, gold-capped metal tubes, provide four hours of comfortable, moisturizing wear and not only treat, they beautify.

Best of all, these come in 6 natural-looking shades that are sure to flatter every skin tone.

I can attest to the long wear time on these; they moisturized my lips for hours.

Immediately after application, my lips felt softer and my poor, chapped lower lip almost instantly plumped up and filled in (I think some level of wizardry may have been involved).

Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector Shades

The available shades, with very descriptive names are:
01–rose
02–coral
03–my pink
04–orange
05–red
06–rosewood

My pink is the most descriptive (and clever) name of all.

It’s not your pink, it’s “my pink.”

This self-adjusting shade adapts to the pH of your lips for a customized color for anyone who wears it.

I got to try 02 (coral), 03 (my pink) and 05 (red). The coral shade imparts the barest kiss of coral peach to my lips. My pink on me is a light flush of pink. Red is the sheerest, loveliest rosy red tint ever.

These smell like candy-like the best version of cotton candy you’ve probably ever smelled.

I wish I could bottle this fragrance and make my whole world smell like it. Seriously, these smell heavenly.

Combine that with the fact that these felt so amazing on my lips, I suspect I’ll be wearing these under most other lip colors from now on. Consider me hooked!

  1. I’ve been trying to control my reckless beauty spending, so when I read this post, I said, “Oh man!” out loud. I might as well throw in the towel, @krista . This is exactly the kind of lip product I can’t resist. A plumping balm that smells like cotton candy! Come on, Clarins, how am I supposed to resist that? I think I’ll get Rosewood so I can maximize the punch of color. They’re all beautiful, though.

    1. I know, right? As soon as I saw this (especially after getting the Clarins lip oil, after your great rec), my wallet basically just opened itself up and heaved a big sigh.

  2. Lip pumping AND line filling AND smells like magical cotton candy? I need this wizardry on my lips right now.

  3. This sounds insanely good. I often forget to check out Clarins. Clearly I need to check in more with this classic brand. I for sure need the red. How pretty!!

  4. “Orange” has just made my wishlist—how gorgeously summery is that?

  5. Clarins makes amazing Skincare, so it makes perfect sense these lip balms would be fantastic! I guess I’ll give up my dream of a vacation and give my lips one with these instead!
