Wearing Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick in Poppy Red
Quick! — your three favorite flavors of fruity candy and gum?
If grape is on your list, these Clarins Joli Rouge Lipsticks from the new spring 2012 Colour Breeze Collection ($24) were made to chew for you.
Especially if you like your grape candy with extra servings of shiny, moisturizing lipstick on the side.
Available in four faintly grape-scented and flavored shades, Poppy Red, Baby Pink, Sheer Pink Magnolia and Sheer Pink Coral are more than just delicious. They’re also creamy and — no, not nutritious. 🙂 I was gonna say rich.
I can’t get enough of the two shades I’ve tried, Poppy Red and Sheer Pink Magnolia. Luckily, I like the flavor and scent, which fade after about 15 minutes of wear, and I don’t find them cloying, too artificial or overwhelmingly strong.

But adding flavors and scents to lip products is always a risk. You just never know how your nose and taste buds will react, and since these are $24 each and not $2 drugstore fare, you might want to sniff test one before bringing it home.
It’s weird… These feel rather thick on my lips, so I was expecting stellar wear time, but I’ve only been getting about 2-3 hours. Good thing I like the scent, I guess, because it makes having to reapply them so often less of a chore.
PRICE: $24 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Clarins counters and also online

P.S.
Love your look in this post! The Poppy Red one is my favorite lipstick here:)
Thanks, Antonia!
Poppy Red is gorgeous!
It is! So fun. 🙂
to me that would be a perfect spring/summer color! 🙂
The wear time isn’t so impressive even though the the colors are pretty. All the spring collections seem to have a majority of deeper pinks, I’m longing for some popping corals and oranges!
Just wait for summer! You’ll have all your lovel corals then. 🙂
They are both gorgeous!
Yes! Happy Friday!
Yay TGIF!
Pink Mongolia looks so sheer in the swatch, but on your lips it’s fantastic!
TGIF indeed! What are your plans for the weekend?
Poppy Red looks beautiful!
I know! I can’t wait to wear it with cat eye liner.
The wear time makes me sad. The colors are so lovely, but I wouldn’t buy these even if they were $5. 🙁
Well, at least there are lots of other great things in the new Clarins spring line that you might like. 🙂
I really like the color Poppy Red. For $24 I would expect wear time to be longer. Not so sure about the scent and flavor of fruity candy and gum. It seems juvenile to me, it reminds me of lipsmackers. Think I’ll pass on this one.
Poppy Red is gorgeous! But grape scented? That seems to cater to a younger set than who will shell out $24 for a lipstick. Hmm……
But it’s classy grape! LOL
