New lipsticks in different textures are launched every other season, but it has been a while since I’ve noticed a new, slim-packaged, moisturising lipstick. So, when the Cle de Peau Beaute Refined Lip Luminizer <\/strong>dropped, I perked up a little. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cle<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason is this – I bought one of their older versions of a lipstick in similar type of packaging, and I did not like it. I think it was called the Enriched Lip Luminizer or its predecessor, or something along those lines. You could buy refills and holders separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I was in love with the formula offered by these sorts of lipstick. I was still mourning the loss of the Dior Serum de Rouge<\/a>, and I later moved on to the Chanel Rouge Stylo<\/a>. Cle de Peau did not hit the spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, years later, when recently confronted with the CdP Refined Lip Luminizer<\/strong>, I confess to being a little underwhelmed to try it. But in the spirit of being adventurous, I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m glad I did! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cl\u00e9 de Peau Beaut\u00e9 Refined Lip Luminizer – who is it for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cle de Peau Beauty Refined Lip Luminizer is a fairly soft, moisturising lipstick that comes in a slim tube packaging. Packaging like these for lipsticks are commonly used for textures that are softer than normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result would be a lipstick that glides effortlessly on your lips, drenching lips with moisture. Lipsticks of this sort tend also to be infused with oils and skincare ingredients to help care for the delicate skin on your lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cl\u00e9<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So who will like this then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, someone who likes their lips to have a soft shine and gloss. If your lipstick preference lies with matte, opaque textures, then this will not be for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d say however, that if you find that your lips tend to feel dry or irritated when you wear lipstick, consider switching to a more moisturising formula (that means skipping the dry liquid lipsticks for a bit). Our lips have no oil glands, so it needs care. Sometimes you need colour as well, so get a lipstick that can give you both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The packaging is simple and sleek. The cap fits tightly, and feels like a soft-close which is quite lux. Everything about this looks, and feels lux. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well except one bit. The clear acrylic bit at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize that the intention by Cle de Peau Beaute was to allow for customers to identify the lip colour easily, especially if you have deep pockets and own a few of these lipsticks. Unfortunately however, I feel that it cheapens the look of the product. It makes it look like a tester at the counter, as opposed to a luxury item you’d want to pull out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d much prefer if they made a little dab of colour at the end, or maybe a little band of colour to reflect the colour within. That’s my quibble with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other point to note is that the texture is a little soft, so I suggest twisting up only a little bit so you don’t waste product, nor cause it to smoosh or break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texture, Pigment and Longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for texture, pigment and longevity, I must say that I am very impressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting much. I had hang-ups thanks to my previous experience, so I was not expecting anything. But as I said, it has been a while since I’ve worn a moisturising lipstick in this form, and I loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cle de Peau Beaute Refined Lip Luminizer Swatches – 3 Sweet Satin, 10 Sweet as Candy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swatched on the back of my hand, you can see how glossy and smooth they are. They swatch without tugging on skin at all, and feel like a whisper of silk going on the lips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Refined Lip Lumnizer is infused with skincare ingredients and argan oil to protect, soothe and comfort lips. It also makes it glide more smoothly, while helping lips stay more moisturised for longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour pigment is fair by me. It isn’t bold, in your face, pigment. But it is pigmented enough that you can just swipe on a slick and go, without having to layer it on, for colour to show up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2 colours I have are :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
