CLIO 3 Step Lipnicure Review

Hello

The 1st manicure for your lips! Clio's Lipnicure is a long lasting liquid lipstick that stays on just like a manicure and offers a full blast of colours with just one swipe! This anti-smudgeproof lip product will retain its colour from the first application giving you kissable lips for up to 12 hours.

Clio's Lipnicure range consist of a primer which has SPF 13, 6 sexy shades and a topcoat.

Directions:

 

 

 

 

I picked up 2 out of the six, 8 Guilty Pink & 2 Nasty Pink

 

 

The base/primer swatch clear. It has SPF13 and moisturise my lip well.

 

 

Just like any other clear lipgloss, it adds shine to your lips for that luscious finish.

Swatches are done with just one coat

Bottom swatches with top coat

The water test.

Pat dry with a tissue

 

The smudge test

The removing test with one swipe of cotton using Bioderma

 

 

 

My thoughts:

Colours are so pigmented however, the shade range is very limited. I would love to see some browns or more neutral colours added for everyday use. It might not appeal to those who are afraid of bright colours. Application wise, you have to be very careful and it does need extra effort to get a perfect shape. It also felt drying and tight on the lips after about a minute once applied. Maybe that is the reason why they have the base and the topcoat in the range. With that said, the colours stay on forever even with constant eating, drinking and talking! Do note that it is better to apply this with a moisturised lips. Better yet if you exfoliate first! Also, I use an oil based eyes and lip makeup remover so I do not have to rub excessively to remove.

 

All in all, I do like this product and will definitely purchase more if there are more neutral colours rather than BAM-WHAM-IN-YOUR-FACE colours.

 

Retailing at $18.90 for the colours, $11.90 for the base and $14.90 for the topcoat, you can get them at Watsons.

Clio Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini (Photo and Swatches)

Hello

When Clio posted a photo of their mini Gelpresso collection on Instagram, I knew I had to get it. Their Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner have been my HG liners since I found them early this year. They are smudgeproof, waterproof and glides on easily. Great for waterline and tightline. Even with using Bioderma makeup remover, I need to rub a few times to clean them off.

 

 

 

 

Retailing at $25.90 for 5 mini liners, these can be found at Watsons. Not only it is housed in a cute tin case, they are great to add to my current collection of Clio's gel liners without having to buy an individual pencil at $18.90 each. Price Saver!

Have you tried any of CLIO's product?

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Great for everyday! For more swatches and pictures, check my post here

M.A.C Blush in Pink Swoon
Love this blush. this gives me a rosy flush when I use it lightly. You can definitely build it up for a more intense colour.

M.A.C Lipstick in Crème Cup
My everyday lipstick. When I just want to have that natural coloured lips, I will reach for this.

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner in No.07 Golden Black
Best black eyeliner that I have so far coz it stays on my waterline the whole day. At the end of the day, I need to use a q-tip to remove it. And the pencil is soft too so it glides on smoothly. I have another 2 colours which I love as well.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Khaki
Instead of applying black, I apply this eyeliner to give it a different look. For review swatches of this eyeliner and the other colours I have, check out my post here
