Here’s why it’s our Product of the Week…
Name: Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil ($23)
What it does: Clarins’ latest treatment oil aims to heal and beautify lips with a refreshing cocktail of natural oils: Mirabelle Plum, Jojoba and Hazelnut. It smoothes out lip lines and flakiness while conditioning delicate skin.
Why we love it: A combination gloss/conditioning product that makes lips as soft as spring petals…I heart everything about this product! The packaging is simple yet elegant, with a gleaming gold lid. Inside is a supersized doe-footed applicator (meant to replicate a fingertip) that swoops on the gel-like treatment product with precision.
Because it contains natural oils, the formula is nourishing and non-sticky. And most of all, the effectiveness is stunning…like spring cleaning for winter-weary lips. Parched flakiness changes to plump, shiny fullness – in an instant!
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Honey and Raspberry
The shade I tried, Honey, gives a subtle golden glow that adds to the renewed look of my lips, while Raspberry offers a soft sheer pink. Plus there’s the fact that the product feels so wonderfully, perfectly slippery, I can’t stop smooshing my lips together. It has a plumping effect with no annoying tingling, a light scent I noticed only when applying it, and it lasts for hours.
The “sheer brilliance” of Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil can be worn over lipstick, but I prefer it alone, with nothing between my lips and the cool, comforting texture of the oil. If you’ve never tried Clarins’ famous treatment oils, this one is the place to start.
The damage winter did to my lips is gone. If only the rest of my spring cleaning could be so easy!

Okay, I’m going right out and get them both! A lip product junkie like me needs these!!!
Ugh, I NEED this–your description sound so tantalizing, and the packaging is lovely. I’m still searching for that holy grail lip product and am fervently hoping this is the one!
Good old Clarins Paris HAS come a long way baby! I have tried Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil on for size, and am smitten by it! I love the huge applicator too.. it’s big as my pinky in size, no joke! It is not sticky, just super AMAZING! I wear it both ways..under my lipstick but mostly alone!
I am superintrigued by this!!! Love that ginormous applicator. I’m really curious about the texture–a lot of the lip oil type products back in the day were too slick and didn’t moisturize enough in my opinion. These look more viscous.
Way more viscous than any other lip oil I’ve tried. Really plush feeling.
I am very intrigued as well. I have to check this out in person. Does it absorb quickly?
Plush is exactly the right word, @stef . The oil doesn’t absorb much at all, @hao9703 . It’s so long-lasting!
Wow, I definitely need these right about now… my lips are not in good shape after a dry winter, and these sound like they work great.
Great post, @turboterp! My lips were brutalized by the harsh winter we had up here in New England! Methinks I need the raspberry version of this :)
Okay, so I ended up ordering this immediately and I LOVE. The applicator is so big and velvety and comforting, it smells utterly delish, and it feels so silky and comforting on my lips. The only problem is that I have to talk myself out of ordering the raspberry one now.
