It’s high school all over again.

If you’re around my age, chances are you were really into lip gloss in high school.  I’m not going to name any brands, but I always had this certain lip gloss with me in my backpack.  I wasn’t allowed to wear much makeup in high school, so lip gloss was my way of wearing makeup.  The glossier, the better!

Fifteen years later and here I am loving lip gloss all over again all thanks to the Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil.  After testing a few shades out, it makes me wonder – why did I ever stop wearing them?

How I’ve been wearing these lip glosses are easy breezy.  Mint is clear, so it’s been great when all I want is some moisture on my lips or as a base before my lipstick.  As for Tangerine and Candy, I’ve been wearing it with everyday makeup looks that are low maintenance.  They’re insanely easy to apply without the use of a mirror and the sheer color makes the fading unnoticeable.
