Love it: Clarins limited edition Lip Balm Crayons

Hydrates like a lip balm, comforts like a lipstick, shines like a gloss? That’s the rundown on Clarins’ beautiful new limited edition Lip Balm Crayons that are going to be a MAJOR deal this summer.

I love easy to wear lip colours by day that don't require a mirror and a steady hand for even application. These beauties by Clarins tick all the boxes and I have been using them a lot since they landed on my desk. They come in six shades and are formulated with mango, apricot, and shea butters to make them super moisturising and a dream to use.

As well as Creamy Pink, Delicious Plum, Soft Coffee, Tender Coral and Sweet Cherry these chubby pencils also come in a very special formula, just called My Pink. Housed in a twist up and retractable format, 01 My Pink (the lightest of the six available) goes on clear, but within moments begins to change, as it adapts to the ph levels of your lips. It boosts the natural colour of your lips so is universally flattering - it really is your pink - and the long-lasting hydrating feel goes on and on.

With a warm vanilla fragrance that becomes relatively unnoticeable upon application, the feel of this balm is buttery and smooth upon the lips, and happily totally non-sticky. It feels like chubby lip pencils are everywhere at this point but not all are created equal, and I’m quietly excited that Clarins is taking on the trend. It is such an under hyped brand and I love the fact that they are doing something a little fun for Summer that just may get them a legion of new fans.

The only downside to this release? The fact that they are limited edition! Get in quick and stock up, you never know how long you’ll have to wait to see them grace the counters again…

Clarins’ Limited Edition Lip Balm Crayons are in store November 3, 2014 and have an RRP of $42.00.
