The only lip gloss that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been publicly seen using is now available at a discount. Clarins' Lip Perfector in the shade 01 Rose Shimmer has been reduced by 25% to £20 at Debenhams, down from its usual price of £25.
Kate Middleton's Wimbledon Beauty Moment
In 2019, Kate Middleton was photographed applying the Clarins Lip Perfector to her lips during the Wimbledon Championships. The glossy formula gave her pout a hydrated and shiny appearance with a pinky shimmer that complemented her summer complexion. This rare sighting of the royal using a specific product sparked interest among beauty enthusiasts.
Product Details and Benefits
The Clarins Lip Perfector is more than a simple gloss. It combines natural radiance with a skincare formula that includes a plumping peptide and plant butters. The creamy texture, enriched with shea butter and wild mango butter, provides 24-hour hydration and nourishment. Vitamin E helps protect the lips, leaving them softer and smoother. The foam applicator is designed to follow the shape of the lips for precise application.
The Lip Perfector is available in over a dozen shades at Debenhams, including 20 Translucent Glow, 24 Fuchsia Glow, 05 Candy Shimmer, and 22 Peach Glow.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
The product boasts a 4.6 out of 5 star rating based on more than 330 reviews on Debenhams. One satisfied shopper said: "This is amazing. The colour is so light, but you see instant hydration. There is a light scent, but the formula is weightless. I barely feel it on my lips."
Another wrote: "I absolutely love this lip gloss. The colour rose is my favourite, it's so pretty and natural. I love the feel of this gloss it's not too sticky as it feels more like a cream. I highly recommend."
A third reviewer described it as "a soft, warm hug for your lips," noting that it bypasses the sticky, heavy feeling of many glosses and feels hydrating and smooth.
However, some customers were less impressed. One three-star review stated: "This lip perfector glow is smooth and easy to apply. I'm not too sure if it really plumps my lips though. It does keep my lips moisturized." Another three-star comment mentioned: "I found this quite runny when first applied and therefore difficult to get such a bright colour on accurately. But once settled it looks and feels quite nice."
Alternative Lip Products
For those seeking alternatives, Charlotte Tilbury's Unreal Lip Healthy Glow Nectar Oil is available for £22, offering a summer-glazed lip effect with a glossy-oil texture and hydrating ingredients. The Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment is reduced by 25% at Boots to £14.40, providing long-lasting plumping hydration and clinically fuller-looking lips in one week, according to the brand.
