Clarins Rouge Eclat Age-Defying Lipsticks

 

Back in October, I posted about Clarins Limited Edition Odyssey Collection which quite frankly I couldn't get enough of and once again, Clarins have well and truly outdone themselves.  

Introduced with their SS13 collection, 15 shades of Clarins new Rouge Eclat Age-Deyfying Lipsticks will become apart of Clarins main cosmetics line, which is fantastic as they are such lovely products and will be a great addition to their counters.

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on three of the subtle Nudes in the collection; 01 Nude Rose*, 02 Sweet Rose* and 03 Petal Pink* and they are everything I could dream of. 

Though they are all absolutely lovely shades, I can't decide between Nude Rose and Sweet Rose in terms of which is my favourite. Nude Rose is a perfect Nude that has a dusky Pink, almost Lilac tone it which I love. It certainly applies more Pink than the natural lip colour that it appears in the tube, but is completely wearable and so pretty. 

Sweet Rose is a perfect everyday shade, adding quite a subtle amount of Pink to the lips making it perfect for adding a quick sweep of colour that isn't too overbearing and sits quite naturally on the lips.

I think it's also a shade that would quite easily suit a varied range of skin tones. 

Unlike Nude Rose, on the lips Sweet Rose and Petal Pink are very close to the colour they appear in the tube and Petal Pink is just as it looks; a deeper Pink shade which although I do like, I don't find as easy to wear as I do with the others. 

Clarins Rouge Eclat lipsticks are a lovely formula and apply nice and smoothly to the lips, they are also really buildable which is great as you can opt for a more subtle look with less product. 

On the lips, these lipsticks feel really soft and moisturising, however, like I often find with moisturising lipsticks, the colour doesn't stick around for as long as I would like. A couple of hours after applying and a reapplication is necessary, but thankfully, they do fade nicely on the lips without any sight of cracking like a drier lipstick would, which is a bonus.

These lipsticks are supposed to have a slight Blackberry and Liquorice scent and flavour, which doesn't really appeal to me in the slightest. Thankfully, I can only smell the slightest hint of Blackberry and the taste is barely there, which personally I'm pleased about.

Along with providing great colour and moisture to the lips, the ingredients of these age-defying lipsticks contains Nutri-Youth Complex, Vitamin E and 100% Plant Waxes, which are supposed to help boost collagen and protect the lips from free radicals and dehydration. 

These beautiful and sleek Gold packaged lipsticks cost £18.50 are available from Clarins counters in Boots, John Lewis, Debenhams and Selfridges.

Do you like the sound of these lipsticks? What's your favourite of the three?
