Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Protector in No. 03 Nude Shimmer is a warm peachy nude shimmer that imparts a soft, nearly translucent, veil of color and sparkly. It is immensely flattering on the lips, and lasts on me for a few hours.
A softly textured lip gel with a deliciously sweet scent and 3D shimmer. Experience the lusciously smooth, shiny and fuller lips you've always dreamed of. Sheer, but shaded enough to wear alone or to complement your favorite lip shade. For smoother, more luscious, kiss-me lips! Apply alone or over lipstick.
Overall Assessment: I have several other colors, and definitely want more shades! I love the formula, the twinkling shine, and how well it nourishes and hydrates my lips.
$25.00 for 0.35 oz. from Clarins, Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, ULTA and Amazon (Affiliate Links).

All those shades of this balm/gloss look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Allison! I have a few of them, and they are absolutely lovely!
DeleteOh, this sounds lovely! I would love to try this! <3
ReplyDeleteIt really is, and I think that you would really love the formula!
DeleteI've been hearing very good things about these for a while, particularly the fragrance. I want some of the deeper shades so they show up on me!
ReplyDeleteThe formula is fantastic, and I adore the scent, but it definitely won't appeal to people who want their lip products to be fragrance-free. They are definitely worth trying!
DeleteSo delicate and pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Jen!
DeleteI love that it has a twinkling shine, sign me up!
ReplyDeleteThat's just how I feel as well!
DeleteI keep seeing these around, and they sound so amazing! I'll definitely pick some up the next time I'm at Bloomingdales!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend them, and it's definitely worth swinging by the counter next time that you go to Bloomies!
DeleteIf only it weren't fragranced like creme brulee I'd be all over it. I miss out on a lot of great Clarins because of their fragrance.
ReplyDeleteYes, sadly I think that the scent is a deal-breaker for you, Marcia. It's a pity though because the formula would really appeal to you!
DeleteI totally forgot about Clarins, they've been pretty quite in the cosmetics scene
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, Now that you mention it, they have been a bit under the radar lately. That said, I always have at least on of these in my handbag!
DeleteThis looks so pretty! A lovely nude on your complexion!
ReplyDeleteHi Babi, It really is a very pretty shade! Thank you for saying that! It's definitely a very easy to wear nude for my complexion!
DeleteI am a huge fan of Clarins. They are amazing. I think I own alllllll of the Instant Light shades and I am obsessed,
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan, too! These are totally obsession-worthy, and I'm right there with you!
DeleteIf only these weren't so expensive here! Maybe I'll try the Catrice dupe instead.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame! They are so wonderful!
DeleteSadly the instant light perfectors don't work for me. I don't like the smell and they create that gathered goo on the inside of my lips :( (yes, sorry for the nasty description, my dear)
ReplyDeleteI am ok here but still not entirely feeling at home. My semester starts at the end of August and I cannot wait to start reading and focusing my mind onto something else besides my own work which sometimes swallows me. I realized last night I have not been out of the house in 4 days because I fell into the arms of a few books and just couldn't let go. Today, even if it means to walk aimlessly, I'll venture out :)
Kitty paws will have to wait at least until next month since we haven't finished receiving/buying furniture and I want everything to be ready so as not to disturb the territory.
Happy Thursday my gorgeous
These are a definite miss for you!
DeleteIt's still a bit early since you haven't been there long enough to really settle in. I think that it's actually great that you have spent the last four days in the arms of a few books. That is a nice way of settling into your new home, and once you have all of your furniture and your kitties, then you will be all set.
It is very easy to become completely swallowed up by your own work, and I have been procrastinating on that front lately. Plus summer school functions at such an advanced pace that I'm mentally fatigued without much in my reserves for my own work. Add to this that I have a couple of grads that I am working very closely with, and my efforts seem to be going toward my students more than directed at my work.You have a lovely Thursday too! <3 <3
The shade is really pretty. I think overall that would be something interesting to try and I think the packaging is convenient, but can be a butt to clean - like my Melted from Too Faced.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the color. It's exactly the same type of applicator tip that they use on Too Faced uses on the Melted Lippies. I just tend to wipe them off with a clean tissue, but that isn't a perfect solution. I wonder how effective it would be to clean it off with alcohol periodically?
DeleteSuch a great product! These smell way too good though :D
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bailey! I love everything about these, and I think that they smell amazing!
DeleteThe texture looks so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
