Guerlain Pink Clip (461) Maxi Shine Lipgloss Review, Photos, Swatches!

Guerlain Pink Clip (461) Maxi Shine Lipgloss

Guerlain Pink Clip (461) Maxi Shine Lipgloss ($30, 0.25 oz) is a iridescent warm, light pink. Another light pink? I know. It’s just one of those things that is pure eye candy to me when I see it on the shelf at Sephora, and no matter how many I own, I’m always going to be craving more. So when I spotted this on the Guerlain display and swatched the buttery gloss on the back of my hand; among the 20 other product swatches that occupy my hand every trip to a makeup counter or store, I quickly shuffled through the fresh boxes behind the samples and chucked one in my basket. As simple as that.

I can say that every brand is my favorite, but Guerlain has a special place in my heart and if money grew on trees, I’d have a lot more Guerlain in my makeup stash (among all of the other high-end brands of course).

You can feel the luxury of the product upon application – it feels so silky and creamy on the lips, and it keeps my lips moisturized and feeling plump. Stickiness? Pfft.. Not even. And the sponge applicator is really nice too. It’s pretty large, flat and slanted, so it eliminates the need for continuously re-dipping the applicator for more product. Just one dip, and you’re good.

Now if it’s worth the $30 price tag, that’s completely up to you. All I know is that I’m loving this gloss, and it has righteously earned a spot in my favorites.

• Smooth, creamy texture
• Moisturizing formula
