Clinique High Impact Lip Colour SPF15

I was recently having a browse in my local Boots to pass a bit of time and found myself looking at the Clinique products, one in particular which caught my eye was the Clinique High Impact Lip Colour SPH 15, I had already heard a little bit about this lipstick and had heard some good reviews about it and although it was a bit on the pricey side I decided to buy myself some to give it a go. If it proved to be as "High Impact" and long lasting as the name suggested it would be ideal for nights out and days racing when it is not always practical to keep topping up your lippie.

I own very few lipsticks, as I am resolutely a lip gloss girl. I like how glosses are able to moisturise your lips and well as make them look attractive, and I have rarely found the same in lipsticks. I would also say that I limit significant lip colour to night time events, as I prefer more subtle make up during the day. When I do go for some colour at light however, it is most often a muted nude or pink-based shade. Just before Christmas I received a promotional pack of products that contained one of the High Impact shades, Nude Beach. As the name suggests, this is a nude-based colour that ... more

I normally wear lipgloss for my day to day activities. I find it's quite flattering but does not look too over the top or too made up. However, for big nights out when I want to look really glam I like to wear a lipstick. Lipstick obviously gives you a much different look than gloss and for me it really highlights my lips and makes them the focus of my look. I only have one or two lipsticks as I don't really wear them that often but the brand I always use is Clinique. I think I first tried their high impact lip colour as a tester (as I generally do with all my Clinique purchases as I find they ... more

Clinique High Impact Lip Colour is one of my favorite brands of lipstick, its not often that I buy a lipstick and find that I do now tend to stick to certain brands. This one will cost you £16 from the Clinique site if you buy online, I usually buy online as I live rural and the nearest town to me is 14 miles away so the convenience of getting things delivered to my door is good for me. Although I dfo have to pay extra for postage, but it saves me on bus fares and diesel if I have to drive the car to town to shop. This can also be bought at Boots for £15 The price may seem a little steep for a ... more

I think I must have a bit of an addiction to beauty related freebies with magazines and this was one I was definitely looking forward to trying. Glamour magazine a couple of months ago were giving away Clinique freebies and I have to admit I was one of those people that hunted high and low for all the samples and I managed to bag myself all of them! I was really looking forward to trying out the High Impact Lip Colour and lots of times I have swatched them at the Clinique counters but I couldn't ever justify to myself buying a lipstick at the price of near on £15 just because. The packaging ... more
