So recently Clio Professional released their new product called Lipnicure. Basically this is a manicure for the lips ;). It was said that this product is a polish for thelips which has different vivid matt colors to choose from. It was also said that they are extremely water proof that whatever you do, like drink, eat,kiss, it won’t ever come off! And of course smudge proof obviously.
How to use it? Simply add light coats onyour lips, but never pucker up , just swipe thin coats, let it dry for a fewseconds, and voila! Your lips will be amazing. But here is the question…
Does it really do its job?
Well girls, the answer is YES! It does its job. Perfect isn’t it? Right now, most of you would say “this is the perfect lip product ever in history!” or “this works like magic!”. Well ladies… sorry to break it to you but if you think this is a magical product that you must have, well, you must know, like rumplestiltskin would say “all magic comes with a price”
Surely, you will love the color, love the packaging, love the scent (well maybe? For me I don’t mind) and love how well it looks good on pictures, but you may not love the formula. My dearest fabulous unicorns and kawaii potatoes, what you are to face with this product is the ultimate drying feeling you can ever imagine. It is matt but it doesn’t have to be so dry right? So this is really not good.
Another thing is it cracks up and flakes up. Remember when I told you that only use thin coats of this product? It’s because if you put more it will flake a lot and it will be everywhere.
Now to tell you more of my experience with this product, first you guys should know that my lips are sensitive so my experience could be different from yours. But for me, this is how it goes… what I did is I experimented on how I should make myself feel more comfortable when using my lipnicure. I tried different thickness and thinness of coats, applied lipbalm or milky tints to lessen the dryness but gosh! It still flakes a lot, and leaves lots of flakes whenever I drink. The worst part is how amazingly it hurt my lips! My lips got so dried up that I even got allergic reactions because of this product. (In which the symptoms are, itchiness, dry and chapped, and swelling) No Kidding! Until now it still haven’t completely healed yet and it’s been almost a week now since I last used it…
So what I think of this product, IT SUCKS! No offense to Clio, I know most of their products are really good, but not for this one. I’m giving it a rate of 2/10 for everything except for the formula.
Well thou there’s been a lot of ranting on this review (since I really am showing you guys how I hate this product for torturing me for almost a week with this duck lips) I hope you find this review helpful.
