True story - I don't drink smoothies anymore since what has come to be known as "The Day of Three Robeks." That would be the day when, for reasons that are way too long to go into here, I ended up drinking three of those big Robeks smoothies in the span of about 5 hours. It was... not good. I was so full I could barely walk and I was seriously sick for days afterwards. So needless to say, the word "smoothie" doesn't exactly conjure up good memories for me anymore. So when I first heard about the new Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothies, my first thought was, "Ooh, I want to try those." Followed quickly by, "Smoothies. Yuck." Well I'm happy to say that the Lip Smoothies have changed my reaction to the "S" word.
The Lip Smoothies come in eight different shades with adorable names like Goodness Grapecious and Mango-thon. I tried out Nude-tritious, which is a light nude shade that's perfect for the summer. What I really liked about the formula was that it goes on really smoothly (which you would expect, given the name!) and it's not sticky, like some glosses. Even better, it's full of ingredients that are good for you, like Vitamin C, Pomegranate, and Acai Berry (known to reduce the appearance of lip lines caused by aging ). It's super moisturizing, almost like wearing a lip balm, and I really like the brush applicator. All in all, a great addition to my gloss collection.
You can pick yours up at Clinique.com for $17.50 each.
