Clarins Lip Oil


I have purchased this Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil a month or so ago and I must say it does what it says. It is glossy instantly, very light and very comfortable. It is like oil mixed with gloss but without it being sticky or annoying. 
It is pricey, it costs £19 at a Clarins counter but you can get it cheaper online. 
This lip oil is 01 Honey and it actually smells like a honey. There is a raspberry one but I think the raspberry sent is quite active that's why I didn't buy it. 
It is clear on your lips and it does stay for a long time. I use it pretty much everyday. 
I cannot say it super duper super but it does moisturise the lips and keeps them nice. 
If you are looking for something luxurious this is great. It comes in a fancy packaging and the applicator is cool too. 
Personally I think this is kind of like Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm. If you like the Elizabeth Arden one you most definitely going to like this Clarins one. They both are very different in texture as this is an oil but they do kind of the same job. 
My verdict is that if you want one you should get - you won't be disappointed. If you don't have a need for this then spend your money on something else it is not a must have product. But it is a really nice product. 

What are you go to lip balms? I really need to try out more!

Lip Balm

Autumn Essentials: Lips. 


Autumn has hit UK big time! It is not that kind of rainy, muddy and all you wanna do is stay at home autumn, it is pretty and sunny however all the warmth is vanished so it is time to really take care of your skin and lips and to bring out those jumpers you hid since winter.
I do like autumn as it is coming up to winter and that is my favorite time. I love candles (oh that's another obsession I should definitely blog about...), and jumpers, and apple cinnamon muffins and fire places ahhhh everything that's cosy I love it. 
I also love this nourishing lip balm. I usually wear a lot of lipsticks so I would use it at home or when I have really dry lips or if I am doing make-up free. It is 8 hours cream it doesn't stay on your lips for 8 hours but it keep your lips nourished for very long time. It also have SPF of 20 which keeps your lips protected from the sun and as lips are a thin skin you definitely need that protection. 
I used to use a lot of Vaselines and I really used to have the feeling it left on my lips, this lip balm feels a little more of a cream consistency but it doesn't bother me much. There is a lip applicator that is super helpful, how many of you stuck your finger into your Vaseline and applied on your lips thinking how many germs there is and where to clean your finger after your application? It doesn't really have a smell of anything but the smell reminds me of a pharmaceutical product, and it doesn't taste of anything either. 
As it is Elizabeth Arden product it is pricy. It costs £19 and it's 14.2g of product. I think it is worth if Vaselines don't help you much as it really nourishes your lips. I will be reaching for this lip balm a lot more now that colder months are coming!

Lip Tint

Kissy Missy!



A lot of people who know Zoe was very exited about Zoes' addition to her bath collection and one of the new products she bought was a lip balm. Do I like it? Yes. Do I love it? no. 
There are a lot of things I like about it. I like the colour it very pigmented although I think it would not suit everyone. I like the smell which is not tutti frutti but it is a usual lip balm smell. I really like the texture, it is not like Vaseline which is glossy it is more velvety texture (matte but not fully) it is creamy but not too much so it doesn't look like you slapped some oil on your face. But my main downfall is that you have to use a finger and one you done applying the product on your lips you have a pink fingertip, what do you do with it? 
It costs £3 which is okay, not the cheapest but not the most expensive and you can find it in Superdrug (if you live in the UK) or online.  
But as for a first lip product (and if you know Zoella you know how much she lover her lipsticks) I say well done Zoe!
