Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm | 03 Crystal Red review and swatches

The product: Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm in 03 Crystal Red

Of the three Instant Smooth lip balms, the tint of Crystal Red is my favourite. It’s sheer, for sure (though not as sheer as 02 Crystal), but imparts a really lovely “my lips but better” sort of colour – just enough red to perk up my complexion, but not so much that you need a mirror to apply.

The strange thing about the colourants in this one, though, is that they make the product (in the tube) look different depending on which direction it’s being lit from. More photos to display this effect at the bottom of this post, but I thought it was a kinda cool thing to point out!
