Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss


Clinique is my most favourite skincare brand. All of their products are allergy tested as well as 100% fragrance free. Although Clinique is known as a skincare line, their make-up is very popular too. Since I absolutely love Clinique's skincare range, I thought about trying out their make-up as well. So here is a review of Clinique's Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in the shade 'Raspberry'.

WHAT CLINIQUE SAYS: Lip balm with a colourful twist. Luscious, high-gloss shades treat your most undermoisturized skin to soothing shine. Instantly relieve dryness, protect with antioxidants and more. Dip in.

PRICE: Rs.950 (incl. of tax).


PACKAGING: The lip gloss comes in a pretty peach, yellow and white box with floral graphics on it. Inside the box is a 15ml tube of lip gloss. The tube is not something I would except out of a vintage looking box. It is a clear plastic squeeze tube with a slanted tip applicator and a shiny, silver cap.

TEXTURE: Since this is a lip gloss and a lip balm offered in one product, the texture is on the thicker side. However the gloss is not at all sticky and does not weigh down your lips. Your lips feel really soft on application. The gloss definitely does moisturize and soften up your lips instantly.


COLOUR: I bought the shade Raspberry, which looks like a bright, darker pink in the tube. But when you apply the lip gloss it gives more of a sheer tint in the subtlest of pinks, while giving your lips a glossy shine at the same time. It's the perfect amount of shine and colour for everyday use. The other shades available are Ginger, Grapefruit, Lilac, Apricot, Mango, Current and Rootbeer. All of the shades were so pretty that I really didn't feel like buying just one!

SMELL & FLAVOUR: Since Clinique tries its best to keep the products allergy free, the lip gloss does not have any smell or flavour. Even though all the shades are given fruity names, the gloss is fragrance and flavour free.

LASTING POWER: The lip gloss lasts for about 2 hours after application, if you do not plan to eat or drink during that time. So you have to keep reapplying the lip gloss throughout the day. But since it also keeps my lips nice and soft, I really don't mind! If you're looking for a more lasting lip gloss, you might want to try Clinique's Long Last Glosswear.

SOMETHING EXTRA: The lip gloss has antioxidants, so your lips can be protected at all times!

CONCLUSION: A lip balm, gloss and tint all in one! What more could I ask for? This is a great product, if you don't mind reapplying it after every few hours. That is the only con of this lip gloss. I really liked this product and cannot to wait to try it out again in the shade 'Ginger'!

RATING: 4.5 out of 5
