The Clarins Spring 2012 Prodige Lip Glosses in Candy and Blackberry Smell So Good That I Can Hardly Bear It

January 20th, 2012 by Karen 14 Comments


Wearing Clarins Prodige Lip Gloss in Blackberry

Yum, Clarins! Whose idea was it to make these new Prodige Lip Glosses in Blackberry and Candy taste and smell like red gummi bears.

Genius! He/she is a total prodigy, haha!

Sorry, couldn’t resist. 🙂

And the colors? So pigmented, and yet I still like the way they pair with the soft, springy blues in the Eye Quartet Mineral Palette in Blue Sky and the sheer Instant Light Blush in Coral Tonic.

Who’d a thunk it?

Unfortunately, I have to reapply these non-sticky glosses about every 2 hours, but on the plus side, red gummi bears! — and I like how lightweight they feel.

Come on, though. For $20? A longer wear time would’ve been nice…

PRICE: $20 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Clarins counters and also online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Too bad about the wear time, but the colors are pretty. I especially like Candy. Have a great Friday! We’re expecting snow and ice here in Ohio so I’ll be hunkering down in the house in my PJs. 🙁

      Oh noes, SNOW! I can’t even imagine. Well, sometimes it’s nice to have a weekend at home. Are you all stocked up with the essentials — snacks, movies, etc.? 🙂

        Yep, stopped at the store on the way home! Bought some tropical punch flavored vodka so I can pretend I’m somewhere warm. 🙂

    Blackberry looks awesome on you, and seriously who cares about the 2hr wear time when they taste yummy! As for that necklace, I love love love it. Really brightens up your complexion.

    Oooo both colors look so cute! I do wish they’d wear a little longer though.

    PS: Love your TGIF picture!

    I was really disappointed by wear time as well, especially when they tout them as a long wearing gloss!! I also felt that they seemed to bleed or something around the edges, I could even see it if I left swatches on my hand, the edges softened and spread.

    If it weren’t for those two problems, I’d be all over the one bright pink color, 05, I forget the color name. It’s a great shade and I love it on me. Oh well, c’est la vie!
