Clinique’s Lipstick + Primer Will Be Your New Fave

Clinique’s newest offering just became my fave lipstick.  Not only is it made with an amazing lightweight formula, but it has bold, saturated color and incorporates a primer.  It’s a long-lasting lipstick that’s moist and feels smooth and fantastic.  BUT for me, the best thing about it is that the tubes are the color of the lipstick!  No more digging around and opening the tubes to see what’s inside.  I love, love, love it.
