The 5-Piece Clinique Lipstick Set is moisturizing and leans toward natural hues, as opposed to, darker, dramatic colors. Although the 300+ reviews are all over the place, the majority indicate these are high-quality everyday wear lipsticks that keep your lips moist with a hint of color. For deeper pigmentation, you'll have to layer the lipsticks with alternate, not in-the-set lip colors.
Still, it's what makes it a universally safe gift. Most everyone needs lip balm during the colder seasons, so this Clinique set is a step up from lip balm. Lipstick to moisturize dry lips with a hint of color is a practical beauty gift. You'll reapply the lipstick throughout the day. Plus it's from Clinique, a stellar beauty brand with stellar makeup formulas.
Some of the reviewers are disappointed the colors in the set are much the same, but for moisturizing lipsticks with subtle shades, I don't think it's a dealbreaker.
So I'd both wear the lipsticks and feel good about giving them to family or friends. For $20 bucks, it's a gift set steal!
This is a lovely gift, and such good value. I rarely give perfume or makeup as gifts either, but have been thinking of lipstick for a close friend this year. Maybe I will find this Clinique set!
ReplyDeleteOne of my makeup maven readers told me on FB she bought it 2 days before my post appeared and loves the lipsticks. I hope you can find it, Trish! If you miss the sale, keep an eye out for the price to be offered again before Christmas.
