Lip Gloss Review: Clinique Air Kiss Splash Lip Gloss

Clinique Splash Lip Gloss in Air Kiss



Availability: This is available at sephora.com, macys.com, ulta.com, and bloomingdales.com as well as their respective physical store/ locations along with clinique.com. The retail pricing is $20 for 0.14 oz.  (4.3 mL ).
Would I buy this?: Probably not.
Notes: I'd describe this as being an extremely sheer nude, it's almost clear but adds the slightest bit of color and a soft hint of white pearl shimmer. It feels a tiny bit tacky but is overall not a sticky gloss. Personally I just don't reach for gloss, let alone gloss that doesn't really have much of a color in it so I don't think I'll be using this very often.

Lipstick Review: Clinique Grape Pop Pop Lip Colour + Primer

Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Grape Pop




Availability: This is available at sephora.com, macys.com, ulta.com, and bloomingdales.com as well as their respective physical store/ locations along with clinique.com. The retail pricing is $20 for 0.13 oz.  (3.8g).
Would I buy this?: Yes.
Notes: This is described as a neutral blue purple creme; I'd describe this color as being a lavender bubblegum and add that this leaves behind a slight sheen. Although I don't wear them often, I love purples like that that are somehow blue-based yet have pink in them so they're not so blue that they clash or look weird with my skin-tone. I think this is such a fun color that's "wearable" (read: not too loud) at the same time. It goes on pretty smooth and is nicely hydrating. This has no discernible scent. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Lipstick Review: Clinique Sweetheart Pop Pop Liquid Matte Lip Colour + Primer

Clinique Pop Liquid Matte Lip Colour + Primer in Sweetheart Pop




Availability: It appears that this has been continued.
Would I buy this?: Possibly.
Notes: This is described as a mid-tone blue pink; I'd say that this is a slightly purple-y, raspberry shade. I'd say that this has more of a satin liquid-lipstick feel rather than a full-on matte which, personally, I don't mind as full-on mattes tend to dry out my lips after several days of wear. It goes on pretty smooth, doesn't feel one bit drying, is lightweight and comfortable on. Although it doesn't dry to a matte finish I find that it wears well for 4-6 hours and doesn't need to be touched up. This has a faint, paint-esque scent that isn't all that noticeable when the product is applied. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Lip Product Review: Clinique Super Strawberry Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm

Clinique Super Strawberry Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm




Availability: This is available at sephora.com, macys.com, ulta.com, and bloomingdales.com as well as their respective physical store/ locations along with clinique.com. The retail pricing is $19 for 0.12 oz.  (3.6g).
Would I buy this?: Probably not.
Notes: This is described as a sheer berry pink; I'd have to agree with that description and add that this leaves behind a slight sheen. I like how it gives the lips a bit of color so you have the option of wearing it alone or under other lipsticks. I love tinted lip balms for "day off" makeup as I like to put something on my lips to keep them hydrated but don't want a "makeup-y" look when I'm just running errands or whatnot.  It goes on pretty smooth and is nicely hydrating. This has no discernible scent.

Lip Product Review: Clinique Pink Honey Almost Lipstick

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Pink Honey




Availability: This particular color has been discontinued.
Would I buy this?: Not sure. 
Notes: This is a really cute, sheer, warm-toned pink lip balm-esque product - something of a balm/lipstick hybrid in that it's slightly moisturizing but isn't as much as a tinted balm would be - that leaves behind a slight sheen. I like how it gives the lips a bit of color so you have the option of wearing it alone or under other lipsticks. I love tinted lip balms for "day off" makeup as I like to put something on my lips to keep them hydrated but don't want a "makeup-y" look when I'm just running errands or whatnot. I feel like this particular shade, because it's a soft pink, gives me a "my-lips-but-better" look.  It goes on pretty smooth and is nicely hydrating. This has no discernible scent. Although I find this to be pretty I also find that it's pricey for what it is, perhaps if it were more hydrating I'd be a bit more excited about it. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Lip Balm Review: Clinique Pep-Start Cherry Pout Perfecting Lip Balm

Balm: Clinique Pout Perfecting Lip Balm in Cherry




Availability: This has been discontinued.
Would I buy this?: Possibly.
Notes: This is a really cute, sheer red lip balm that leaves behind a slight sheen. I like how it gives the lips a bit of color so you have the option of wearing it alone or under other lipsticks and that it's a perfect "starter" red for someone who wants to wear red but isn't quite ready for a full-on intense red lipstick. I love tinted lip balms for "day off" makeup as I like to put something on my lips to keep them hydrated but don't want a "makeup-y" look when I'm just running errands or whatnot.  It goes on pretty smooth and is nicely hydrating. This has no discernible scent.
