Pop a reminder in your calendars for 15th January as that’s the date Clinique’s new Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub + Lip Balms* hit counters nationwide.
These little round pots which are designed and packaged to look like macaroons are a cleverly dual sided product that treats lips to a sugary exfoliator on one side and a pampering lip balm on the other. Genius! And almost too good to use. I’m sure many will be clambering to bag one of these.
The sugar scrub contains beet sugar granules along with a moisturising blend of Jojoba seed oil, shea butter, avocado oil and Grapeseed oil and the lip balm has aloe leaf extract, coconut oil, shea butter and murumuru seed butter.
There are six delectable rich tints to pick from with names inspired by macaroon flavours: Red Velvet, Orange Blossom, Pink Framboise, Sweet Rose, Candied Cassis and Citron Bleu and cost £15 each.
Pictured above from left to right is Candied Cassis, Pink Framboise and Orange Blossom. The scrub feels very gentle and fine, almost as if it’s not there but leaves your lips feeling smooth and pampered. The balm conditions nicely without the greasy sensation similar products leave though don’t expect a profound looking tint as it’s pretty much invisible. This is a very classy lip scrub and balm and a very handy one too. Genius design, genius functionality.
These pots have been exclusively available at Debenhams from 5th December last year but will now be accessible nationwide as of this Friday. To buy online, visit www.clinique.co.uk.
