Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil Review

Beautifying oils have been a widespread trend for the past couple of years. Unlike BB creams, CC creams, DD creams and EE creams? Which letter of the alphabet letter of tinted moisturizer are we on now? Seriously though unlike so many gimmicky trends in the beauty industry, beautifying oils are definitely a trend I can get behind. So when I heard the Clarins aka masters of beauty oils were coming out with lip oil I was all over that.

Before we talk about cool ingredients or the cute chubby doe foot applicator I think we need to address texture. I don’t know you but when I think an oil lip product the first thing that comes to mind is mess. So let’s set the recorded straight the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is no as liquid-y as I first anticipated. This thicker texture makes it easy to apply without worrying about it smearing on your face. It also means you don’t have to worry about product leaking in your handbag or falling on your pants, car, shirt, car seat… you get the point.

Staying true to the Clarins range you can bet this oil is packed with incredible ingredients. This powerfully hydrating lip oil boasts hazelnut oil, jajoba oil and plum oil (in honey shade). These oils work together to soften, plump and hydrate the lips. I would say this product is ideal for chapped lips, but the non-sticky crowed pleasing texture combined subtle shine finish makes it perfect for everyday use too.

The applicator is a chubby doe foot similar to Clarins cream blushes they released a couple of year back. Winning points for those of you who remember the Instant Light Blushes… Vitamin Pink still is one of my favorite blush colours of all time. What I am trying to get to was personally I found the huge doe foot too big to apply blush, but for lips it’s a whole other story. Not only does the huge applicator pick up the perfect about of product but it also ever so comfortably hugs your lips during application too.
It’s beyond satisfying…

I would say if you’re looking for a shiny lip product get this, but Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is more than that. If you needed something to hydrate, protect and nourish all while smelling great, having a long list of great ingredients and giving you a subtle shine get the Clarins Lip Comfort Oil.
Plus what other lip product has the ability to hug your lips too??

  1. This sounds amazing, completely sold on the idea it kind of makes sense and surprises me that more brands haven't jumped on the bandwagon! I really want to pick up a couple the Clarins Instant Light balms as well xx
