It seems I always have some sort of lip balm or gloss or stick nearby. But in the sea of lip products I own Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector is a special little gem.

Shown here are 01 Rose Shimmer (left) and 06 Rosewood Shimmer (right).

Natural light swatches.

The product has a light vanilla scent that's sweeter than the vanilla of MAC lipsticks.  They go on very smooth with very little shimmer and keep my lips moisturized in the cold Toronto weather. They also look great hanging out in your purse and the doe foot applicator makes it very sanitary.
