A few days ago, I wrote about a preview of LUSH’s new Emotional Brilliance makeup line that was held in New York. (You can read that post here.) Over the next week or two I’ll be reviewing a few Emotional Brilliance products that I’ve tried. I’ll begin with a liquid lipstick called Liquid Lips, just because I’m always drawn to lip color and I found this one to be quite unusual.

The Black Honey shade was always just a bit too “warm” for my skintone, but I admired its versatility for most wearers, not to mention its longevity.
Over the past year or so, cosmetics brands from Revlon to Chanel and back have released sheer lipstick lines.

I found myself thinking about red lipstick while I was watching the latest episode of the BBC series “Sherlock” to be broadcast in the United States: “A Scandal in Belgravia.” (Bear with me. I’ll get to Clarins in a second.) Continue reading “Product Review: Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm in Crystal Red”
