Another Great Lip Product from Clarins

The colour I received in the Chick Advisor "Made You Smile Luxe Box" was # 03 - Milky Pink.

My first impressions of Clarins' Lip Milky Mousse were very positive. The packaging is slim and sleek with a matte finish. The scent is soft and lovely, and the bold, bright colour of # 03 Milky Pink creates a subtle "your lips but better" colour enhancement. On the applicator it's a bold, bubble-gum pop of pink, but looks surprisingly natural when applied, similar to using a tinted lip balm.

I had a bit of trouble with the domed sponge applicator. The lack of straight edge - as is found on a doe-foot applicator - made it hard to apply the product to the edges of my lips, and I had to gently retrace the sponge to ensure accurate, non-clumpy coverage over my entire lip surface. A few brush-like motions were required to ensure the product was evenly applied, and a mirror was required for even application.

PROS:
- the product dries to a natural, matte finish that isn't sticky (your hair won't stick to your lips with this product!)
- the product leaves a natural tint to your lips which works well under a lip balm
- kiss-proof/non-transferrable when dry

CONS:
- the rounded sponge applicator is hard to use without a mirror. A doe-foot applicator, similar to Clarins Natural Lip Perfector, would be more practical for on-the-go application
- I didn't find it particularly moisturizing, as advertised, and found myself reaching for my lip balm to layer on top
- the finish is lightweight and very natural, even for a bright shade like # 03. This isn't necessarily a con, but for the price of $28, some wearers may prefer more coverage/colour pay-off

Overall, despite the applicator, I loved the natural tint this product provides and I look forward to checking out the other shades in person.

Don't let the color in the tube fool you

I received this lip product in my smile luxe box. Honestly, when I opened the tube and saw the color, bright pink, I was like, its hideous. Don't let the color fool you. Once I put it on, the color was perfect! It's one of those lip colors that look good on any skin type, I think.
I have a light beige skin tone with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Amazing lip product for a natural look

I think this product is amazing for natural looks because it is a bit sheer. This is good so you can layer on according to your own likings. It also smells very nice, a little bit like candy!
