Clarins Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick in Pink Magnolia - Review

This February sees the launch of Clarins Spring collection - Colour Breeze.

"This season colour washes over a flawless complexion as the first signs of Spring

are encapsulated in radiant tones of delicate to enhance and illuminate,

for perfect bright and breezy beauty."

Today I have a limited edition lip shade in the form of Pink Magnolia to share!

Unlike the previous Clairns Spring Collection items I have shared with you this comes neatly

packaged in a heavy weight high chrome silver case.

The lipstick is heavy and feels expensive not to mention luxury, 

with each item delicately embossed with a "C" you can see the effort and detail involved -

even the lipstick bullet has the word Clarins engraved upon it.

Aesthetics aside the packaging more than protects the lipstick housed inside.

Pink Magnolia is officially described as a pink shade but to the naked eye

it is most definitely a plum or at the very least a highly purple dosed pink.

Pink Magnolia is cool in tone and has an evident blue undertone

however as it is sheer in formula this will make the shade easier to wear

and should suit the majority of skin shades as it only delivers a hint of colour.

One my natural lip shade the shade leaned a little brown and was rather flattering.

I can also detect small silver particles of shimmer weaved throughout the bullet

but as they are microscopic they do not feel rough on the lips 

but give the illusion of fuller and plumper lips.

I found the Perfect Shine Sheer formulation to be light and hydrating.

It delivers a subtle hint of colour that is above par of that of a tinted lip balm

yet not as opaque as a typical lipstick formula.

The lipstick glides on smoothly and feels almost balm like on the lips,

which resulted in a light sheer wash of colour with a light glossy finish.

I detected a slight fruity scent from the lipstick but is taste free so no need to worry there.

In terms of wear I achieved around two hours before requiring a touch up.

I feel this formula is a great balance of sheer colour and hydration

and much superior to a bog standard tinted lip balm.
