Shoppers across the UK have a new reason to celebrate the post-Christmas sales, as a beauty staple favoured by the Princess of Wales receives a significant price cut. The product in question is the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector, famously worn by Kate Middleton at Wimbledon in 2019, and it is now available with a 20% discount.
Where to Find the Royal Beauty Bargain
The sought-after lip gloss, which normally retails for £25, has been reduced to just £18.40 at Debenhams. This discount currently beats offers from both Boots and the Clarins official website. For those shopping online, Amazon is matching the £18.40 price point, while Boots is selling it for £21.25.
Bargain hunters should act swiftly, however, as at the time of writing, All Beauty was offering an even lower price of £17.70. With its royal endorsement and high popularity, stock of this particular shade is likely to sell out quickly.
Why the Clarins Lip Perfector is a Cult Product
More than a simple balm, the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector provides a subtle tint and a hydrating shine, contributing to Kate Middleton's signature polished yet natural look. It's designed for easy, on-the-go application, whether worn alone or over lipstick.
The Princess of Wales's preferred shade is Rose Shimmer, which is the variant included in these sale promotions at Amazon, Boots, and Debenhams. The product has garnered a loyal following far beyond its royal connection, amassing over a thousand reviews on Debenhams alone, with the vast majority awarding it a perfect five-star score.
Shoppers have praised it extensively. One long-time user commented, "I really love this product and have been buying it for many years... It moisturises my lips perfectly and gives a beautiful shine. A must-have in my makeup bag." Another reviewer highlighted its sensory appeal, saying, "The smell and the feel of this are amazing. Anytime I put it on people ask what it is and order it."
While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, noting its non-sticky texture and nourishing feel, one customer did note that the colour can wear off easily considering the cost. Nevertheless, the consensus solidifies its status as a premium, everyday essential for a healthy, glossy lip look.
