You guys know how obsessed I’m with Clarins lip oils. I have already reviewed Red Berry and Raspberry variants. Recently, Clarins came out with four new shades (Candy, Mint, Tangerine, Honey Glam), and I got all four of them. The one I will be reviewing today is called “06 Mint”.
Price: $26
Product Description:
1 luscious formula, 3 ways to use.
These seven delectable shades infused with 100% pure plant oils nourish, soothe and plump lips — leaving a protective veil of color. Apply before lipstick for a smooth application, wear alone for soft hydrated lips, or top off any lip color for added shine.
Four new shades for a pretty pout — choose from Honey Glam, for a pop of shimmer, Mint, for a cool, natural look, or Candy and Tangerine which react to the PH of your lips creating a very personalized shade of pink or coral.
• Color-shines lips in 7 tantalizing shades
• Refreshes the senses with aromatic plant essences
• Lip-hugging applicator
My Experience with Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil Mint:
The packaging of the Clarins Instant Light Lip Oil is simple and elegant. The lip oil itself comes packaged in a transparent plastic bottle with a golden cap. Since the bottle is transparent, one can see how much product is left inside. I love this feature. The applicator is a huge round and flat sponge tip applicator so, you can coat your lips evenly in a single swipe. At times, I hate the fact that it has a huge sponge applicator because the application can get messy when you want a precise application.
These lip oils are like a cushion for the lips. They have a gel formula that isn’t sticky but has a mirror-like shine. Unlike the YSL lip oil, they have a thick texture that is going to stay put on your lips for hours.
The shade, “Mint” has a blue tint to it. The colour is very sheer and doesn’t show up on the lips. It does make my lips darker as well. I prefer using this particular lip oil at night since this is my least favourite, and I hate the fact that it makes my lips dark.
There is no flaw in the formula like other lip oils. It is also intensely hydrating on the lips and feels very comfortable and lightweight on the lips. The lip oil provides a decent amount of hydration and softens your lips. The hydration that it provides will help to treat your chapped lips, but it won’t heal them completely.
After using lip oils for years, I feel the condition of my lips has improved tremendously. They have become soft and less drying, and they don’t get chapped that often. Whenever I read the term “oil”, I get the picture of a thin and runny liquid, but this lip oil by Clarins doesn’t move around once you apply them onto your lips. “Mint” has a sweet minty scent that softens and fades shortly after 10 to 15 minutes.
