Clarins - Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil

Instant light Lip Comfort Oil

First actual product review in a long long time!

I never actually thought about buying any Clarins products until my friend started working as a brand representative for them LOL. I'm glad he did because I never would've been introduced to some good products! I'm thinking of picking up the Double Serum ^__^

So far I've only bought 2 lip products from them but really impressed so far lol.

About this product according to Clarins:

"Combining make-up and skin care, this subtly fragranced lip beauty oil offers a unique sensorial feel. It contains a cocktail of plant oils which instantly soothes the lips while enhancing them with a beautiful shine, with no sticky feel. Enriched with nourishing fatty acids, hazelnut, mirabelle and organic jojoba oils protect lips from dehydration to leave them soft, comfortable and luminous."

Dermatologist tested

 

01 Honey

This lip oil smells so GOOD! (Don't mind the shitty nails lol)

When I was browsing the Clarins section at Shoppers Drug Mart I thought this was actually like an oil. The texture of this product is more honey like, literally. Its really thick and doesn't feel oily on the lips and no it doesn't taste bad if you lick your lips or drink anything lol.

Thick applicator

The product doesn't feel sticky on the lips but it does transfer to cups easily because of the thick texture but it doesn't transfer a lot to the point where you would have to reapply each time you took a sip/bite of something but I'm guessing if you get one of the tinted shades of this product you might have to reapply but I doubt it since its so subtly tinted.

I really like the packaging of this product. It looks and feels more expensive than it really is ($25 before tax)

There are two other shades available 02 Raspberry and 03 Red Berry, I don't think I'll like the raspberry one but the red berry one looks nice.

Laneige - Light Power Essential Skin Refiner

Light one for oily skin!

I've been using this everyday for my morning skincare routine and its great! Its been a few years since I last used any Laneige product that wasn't a cleanser, I got this on Sasa for like $25? but I know that the US Targets sell them (not Canadian ones... no wonder they're closing down >.<)

Some packaging changes

The last time I used a Laneige toner and emulsion (sorry did not purchase the emulsion this time!) the bottles were made out of glass, not plastic. One of the reasons why I didn't repurchase the one I had before was because I actually dropped my glass toner on the floor and it smashed everywhere and there was like tons of toner left in it >.< so I wasted like $30 and I was worried that it would happen again. So I'm glad they changed the bottle to a plastic one but the packaging does seem a little cheap compared to before.

What I like about it: It makes my skin feel nice and moisturized after applying, It feels really light on the skin and absorbs really well and makes your skin nice and soft. It also has a good reasonable price and you can find it easily online (like at Sasa) or if you live in the US you can head to your local Target and pick it up.

What I don't like about it: The scent of the product I find a bit too overwhelming it smells good, but I feel like sometimes it has too much perfume in it. I'm not a huge fan of the new plastic bottle change but its not that big of a deal.

I'm wondering what the packaging is like for the emulsion is it exactly like the toner? I hope there's a pump. I love Laneige products, and I'm totally gonna order more!

I hope some of you give this product a shot, its pretty affordable and its a great quality product :)
