To be completely honest I’ve never looked twice at the Clarins counter. I’ve always associated the brand with skin care and wouldn’t think to browse at their make up. On Friday Lisa and I were searching for the perfect orange/coral lip colour, that is one of the most important lip trends of the season. I’d checked out most of my go to brands and came up short. Then I came across this Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in orange slice. It  has treatment ingredients: Shea Butter, Wild Mango and Olive to moisturize the lips, and Vitamins A and E to protect. The texture is non sticky like a lip balm, but super shiny like a gloss. The colour is perfect for achieving that juicy tangerine  colour that was seen all over the runways for Spring. For a sheer application of colour just wear it alone. For full on colour it’s so good on top of an orange based lipstick and liner.

Look out for our next Smudge video on how to achieve this season’s coral lip trend.
