Over the past couple of months, I have found myself opting for more and more glossy finishes than ever. I've never really been one for a high-shine finish, yet recently, have found it to be a really nice touch to my make up. I don't think I'm even close to banishing the matte lips all together yet, but after trying these Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors* and pretty much falling more for them instantly, I don't think it's unfair to say that my opinion on the the perfected gloss look has changed somewhat.
The three products pictured above; Petal Shimmer, Candy Shimmer and Rosewood Shimmer are the latest additions to the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector range and are almost ready for launch following the huge success of the three original shades. Like I said, I am quite a newbie to a glossy lip and so hadn't actually tried the originals, but had heard raves of them very frequently from many lipstick and make up lovers like myself and after trying these three, I am now extremely keen to try Apricot Shimmer.
When it comes to lip products, I always swatch them on my lips, but I have found these little products, though ever so pretty and lovely to use, quite hard to photograph as they are pretty sheer and on my bare lips, the colour differentiation doesn't show up on camera too well. They work both on their own or on top of a lipstick to give you a soft, shiny, quite natural sheer looking, plumper lip and I absolutely love the pretty subtle tones that they carry, as well as the beautifully sweet gel formula that they're made up of. The packaging is really lovely and simple too and I find they apply with such incredible ease which is particulary great if you're on the go.
My favourite of the three is probably Petal Shimmer, which more than likely doesn't surprise you with it being the lightest. It's the perfect product for me to add on top of a Nude or Peach lipstick and I find it so complimentary. On the lips, I find they all feel super moisturising, light and not at all sticky in the slightest, which for me is a massive bonus in a glossier product.
These three Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors cost £17 each and will be available on Clarins counters and online from 28th April 2013.

Petal shimmer is a truly gorgeous shade. I really like light shades too, although I'm still more of a matte girl than a gloss!

I got a little sample size of this once, its so amazing! Feels so silky soft to apply (its one of those where you rub the applicator over your lips for 15 minutes haha) and it smells deeeelish! Must buy a full size, its the candy shimmer for me :D xx
