Save and Splurge: Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie and Guerlain Essence de Gloss

August 25, 2010 Paris B 8 Comments

The line between makeup and skincare is blurring with makeup that not only helps you look good, it helps care for your skin too. One such innovation is the lipgloss that cares for your lips. I have here 2 lipglosses that claim to have lip caring ingredients in our Save and Splurge category.

Save: Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie RM66

I love this one. You can read my full review on the Clinique lip smoothie and you might like to know I’ve repurchased it, in a different colour. I like that its not sticky, has decent but light colour and best of all, keeps my lips flake free and plumped up. RM66 isn’t quite a saving, but its cheaper that the splurge option 🙂

Splurge : Guerlain Essence de Gloss – RM105

Guerlain’s new KissKiss lipgloss has lip caring benefits too. The Essence de Gloss is not sticky, has lovely pigmented colour (much more pigmented than Clinique) and helps keeps lips plumped up, and flake free. You can read my full review by following the link.

I’m liking both these lip glosses – and its great to know that they both have lip caring benefits if used often. Coming from a non lipgloss loving gal that’s saying something! I’d pick the Clinique one if used often but for something luxurious and if you prefer more colour on your lips, go for the Guerlain one.

Save and Splurge is where I show you 2 similar items by 2 different brands that I have tried. They may not work quite the same way, but it’ll offer you options for your wallet for a similar effect/product. Do note however, that it is based on products I have tried, so whilst there are many save and splurge options out there, these are my views. You can find more under the category of Challenges.

Availability: Clinique at Clinique counters and Guerlain at Guerlain counters nationwide.

    did anyone’s brush tip smell weird after awhile? It’s a very off-outting, rancid-like smell. Is it supposed to happen and does anyone know how to get rid of it?

      For the Clinique one? Sometimes products with brush applicators have that problem. I had that problem with YSL Touche Eclat. But I didn’t have a problem with this one. You can try cleaning it by wiping on a tissue as best as you can.

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
