Clinique has always had wonderful skincare products, this is my first time using their lip product (I seriously didn't know they had such a range of lip products). I gotten myself a few of their lip products. This is the first one I used and tested.
This lip product is a nude type of lip product, it is not meant to be very obvious. You can wear it alone or on top of other lip products. Beware of its stickiness though. It also moisturized my lips too! It is perfect for all occasions and it lasts really long (compared to other lip glosses).

| see the difference? it is extremely glossy |
Impressions:
- Glossy
- Very sticky
- Surprisingly easy to remove
- Hair is attracted to it
- No scent
- Subtle colour
- long lasting
- moisturizes lips
 |
| easy applicator, extremely spongy |
Applicator:The applicator is a soft small spongy wand. I really liked the applicator because I didn't need to reapply (there was enough product to fill up my lips). Unlike other lip glosses, I do not recommend you to use your fingers to apply this product, it makes them EXTREMELY sticky...

| easier to see the difference using my 2 fingers |
It was probably a bit hard to see the difference on my lips (since the colour is so subtle), you can see the effect a little better on my fingers (not so much more, but better). I was quite happy that Flash (on a camera) wasn't such a big issue when using this product, it only created a little shine (see below image)
Pros:
- very glossy, and shiny
- flash does not make your lips extremely shiny
- good applicator

Cons:

| effects of this lip gloss |
I'm actually quite glad the colour is subtle (it actually looks a very obvious brown when you put it on tissue, not sure why it is so subtle on lips). It leaves a smart sleek shine to your lips yet gives it a natural feel (like: is she wearing lip gloss or are her lips really shiny looking kind of look). This product is called "Full Potentials Lips Plump and Shine for a reason, it certainly makes your lips look slightly plump.
score: 9/10
Nice review! I didn't know clinique sells lip gloss either. I don't really like applying on lip gloss all that much though....I don't like how it's sticky and too glossy. And I am really bad at remembering to apply things to my face throughout the day. I never remember to apply lip balm after I eat or apply hand cream after I wash my hands, that's why they're sooo dry in the winter time, lol. It's so bad I should make it into more of a habit to apply it everytime but I never remember to. XD
ReplyDeletethanks! yeah, I don't like lip glosses... my hair always sticks to them :(
Deletehaha... I have the same problem with applying things too.. so what I do is buy a bunch of products and leave them all around (e.g. different purses, desks, everywhere) so they are always in sight and I will remember to apply them :)
The colour of the lip gloss looks good, but the other point that you have mentioned, the stickiness makes this product not good to use for day long.
