Clinique Pop™ Lacquer Lip Colour + Primer

Clinique Pop Lip lacquer and Primer (Lava Pop)
I have dry, pigmented lips so I shy away from lip glosses. Glosses are not opaque enough to cover my lips but this lip lacquer is. It gives full opacity in one coat. The built in primer ensures it glides on smoothly.
It is not transfer proof but lasts longer than most lip glosses. It is a beautiful blue-based red. It makes teeth look and will suit all skin tones from the palest to the deepest. If glossy lips are what you're after, this is for you
Where to buy: Clinique counters
Price: R285

I am a loyal Clinique woman, from their soap face wash to their moisturizer face cream - they are my go-to and have been for six years. Their lipgloss pop lacquer is impressive and their color options vary, which suit all skin tones.

Pros: I am fair skinned and a darker gloss suit me best, ans it compliments the dewy look I always use. Winter does not always do us wonders, and with a wet look and high glow lip shade from Clinique - my black clothes are positively competing with a dark purple lip.

The difficulties of having black as my favorite color is the pressure to pair it with color: jewelry, lipstick, shoes, eyeshadow or bag. With this Clinique lacquer - that pressure is eliminated and useful for changing your work look into your Friday evening ready-for-a-G&T look.

I am not a true lip gloss lady, but I am one for convenience, color and class - and Clinique's color lacquer checked my boxes! Sticky dark lip makes any woman feel a bit more seductive and with a dash of reapplied mascara, you are ready for any quick update.

Cons: One small negative about the color lacquer is that after wearing it you might be inundated with women asking what lip gloss you are wearing. Good luck and enjoy!

Such gorgeous colours.
