I’m given with Clinique Full Potential Lips lip gloss when I purchased some Clinique products few months back.
I used to like lip gloss a lot but I’m not really into it now because my lips will surely peel few hours later. I don’t know why. I don’t remember when it started also. So now, I seldom use gloss, only once in a blue moon. I had tried several brands and they all gave me this same problem. Hmmm… Anybody know why? Do you have such problem?
I was thinking of testing Clinique Full Potential Lips to see whether the same thing will happen or not, sadly it did happen too. Hmm… I cannot use gloss! I never apply the gloss alone, I will make sure I have a coat of clear lip balm on before applying coloured lips products.
Anyway, let’s see the effect:
Left: No gloss, only lip balm.
Right: It claims that it will plump and shine. So… What do you think? It does live up to the claim. The colour I have is Cherry Bomb (09), it’s so red in the tube but when applied, the colour just didn’t show.
Oh… It did sting a bit when I applied, first lip gloss I used that has such effect. It also has slightly minty smell/taste to it.
I got this from Clinique’s website and the last 2 sentences did give me a shock hehehe… Really?!?! Hmm…
Triple-action plumping lip gloss instantly and gently creates a fuller, lusher look. The plush effect lingers up to 6 hours. With continued use, peptides prompt skin’s natural collagen production to foster a smoother, more defined look. Builds moisture cushion and comforts lips, too.
That’s the end of my simple review of Clinique Full Potential Lips. Just like any other lip gloss, I’ll use it once in a while when I’m in the mood even though knowing that after using lip gloss my lips will peel. Girls… Rather suffer for vanity ;p
