Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector

Clarins recently released three new Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector ($25) shades.  I scooped one up in 10 Pink.  I am no newbie to the lip perfectors.  Back in the day it was my go to.  They smell amazing, aka my weakness, and they give the perfect amount of tint to your lips.  These new shades are no different.  The moment I put it on my lips I was taken back to my high school years.  And I love the fact that it has shea butter and wild mango.  After wearing the lip perfectors, my lips alwasy feel super hydrated.  And can we talk about the packaging.  How cute are the flowers.  The Pink shade I got is more of a coral pink then a true pink.  Which of course I am always happy with.  If you are looking for a lightweight summer lippie I would totally say pick one of these up.    

  

Have you ever tried the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors ??  What is your current go to lip product this summer??

La Mer Lip Balm Review !

I have been loving my La Mer lip balm.  And I mean LOVING (I just sung that in my head).  When I say I have never used a lip balm as hydrating as the La Mer, believe me.  I love my Jack Black and I love my Dior but, the La Mer takes the cake.  This balm keeps my dry, cracked lips moisturized for hours on end.  Plus the smell is amazing!  I have said this before but, I hate when lip products smell bad.  I also hate when lip products taste bad.  But, the La Mer smells like Orbit sweet mint gum and tastes like candy, to me that is a huge plus.  Now the price point is a bit high ($50) for a lip balm.  If I had nice plump lips all year round I would probably pass on buying this again but, with my dry, cracked lips I foresee myself shelling out the money whenever I run out.  La Mer claims, "The Lip Balm is a luxurious and intensely reparative formula that works on contact to soften roughness, relieve discomfort and help rejuvenate seriously dry lips. A potent concentration of La Mer's nutrient-rich Miracle Broth™ renews the delicate lip area while a patented Lip Lipid Complex delivers moisture and strengthens lips' moisture barrier to help prevent further damage."  I would say there claims are so true.  So, if you are in the market for a new lip balm I would say to seriously check this out.  I know my Macy's now carries La Mer, which is very convenient and I bought mine at Blue Mercury.  This is the first product I have tried from La Mer and I have to say I may have to try more.  

What is your favorite lip balm ??  Have you tried anything from La Mer ??
