LIPSTICK REVIEWS SERIES: Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer

Hey guys,

It's been ages since the last time I posted. Since my last semester was insanely busy, I barely have time to write blog and share all my beauty stuffs with you guys. But I'm so glad it's over now, and here come the best time of the year S-U-M-M-E-R !!

So today I'm going to share with you my thoughts about the new lipstick line from CLINIQUE which is the CLINIQUE Pop Lip Colour + Primer. There are 16 shades in this collection and they are all simply beautiful. As usual, Clinique's products are 100% fragrance free and allergy tested. They're quite affordable as far as higher end lipsticks go, at $18/piece from Sephora and 490.000 VND in stores, Vietnam.

I have to say that I fell in love with the packaging as soon as I spotted it in store. The packaging is so cute and it's quite functional too. The cap boasts a chrome-like finish that I find it very convenient for on-the-go touchups because it acts as a tiny mirror (anyway, I still have a compact mirror in my makeup bag all the time, but you know just in case). 

And here’s my experience. The first time I tried, I applied it right from the lipstick. The lipstick goes on smoothly and applies evenly and opaque, I’d have to say. The formula is very creamy and quite hydrating, even after they dry down to a satin finish. However, it does dry my lips a bit, I have to touch up some lip balm during the day. The color is so pigmented. For reference, this shade is 06 Poppy Pop, which is a fun, bright orangey red color. I really like the semi-matte finish which makes the color pop even more. I find this lipstick is very long-lasting that I don’t need to retouch as much unless I'm out the whole day.

I'm not sure about the all-in-one aspect of this lipstick, with its claims of having a built-in primer. I don't really notice much difference in how long these wear or how smoothing they are compared to other creamy satin lipsticks. I always use lip balm as a base anyway.

As far as I’m concerned, I can’t wait to pick up and try more shades from this line. Nude Pop, Melon Pop and Passion Pop are on my radar.
