I've raved about the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector before but rightly so! It's the perfect light moisturising gloss that adds a glow to the lips without being sticky, turning all gloss haters into lovers. No7 have recently bought out a beautiful summer collection that includes two lip glosses, similar to the Clarins Natural Lip Perfectors. Especially in packaging, which is practically the same apart from the detailed lid of the No7 Nourishing Lip Shine.
Firstly the facts - for £16 Clarins will present you with 12ml of product, whereas No7 for £10.50 will give you 9ml of product. Or if you're clever and pick up a No7 £5 off voucher when you spend in Boots you could be spending £5.50 for 9ml as opposed to £10.50...makes a difference doesn't it?

| No7 Nourishing Lip Shine In Pink & Peach |
The main reason why I love the Clarins Lip Perfector is the smell is soo heavenly, like candy floss, but for those of you who don't agree, the No7 maybe a better option for you as it's scentless. Another reason why the Clarins Lip Perfector rocks is the light formula, feeling so weightless and non sticky on my lips. No7 Nourrishing Lip Shine is slightly heavier, only slightly though. The Clarins Lip Perfectors have a little more colour to them but both only have a very slight tint, hardly any colour at all - just add a moisturising shine to the lips.

| Left- No7 Nourishing Lip Shine in Pink. Right - Clarins Instant Lip Natural Lip Perfector in 01 |
The shade I have in Clarins in No. 01 a light baby pink and there are four shades to choose from whereas No.7 Nourishing Lip Shine comes in 2 shades, a pink and a peach. The No7 pink shade comes close to Clarins Lip Perfector in 01 but just slightly darker.
So what do you think? I think with those £5 off No7 vouchers that are always flying around Boots I would definitely pick up the No7 ones as opposed to the Clarins for over a £10 difference.

| No7 Summer Collection 2012 |
No7 Nourishing Lip Shines are limited edition for their summer collection and you can pick them up at Boots (but careful I went to three before I found one that hadn't sold out!) or online is probably a safer bet here
Ps - how gorgeous is the bronzer from their summer collection too?!
I saw these yesterday and was thinking they might fall under as a dupe for the Clarins one but didn't think much of it. Gutted I didn't buy one now but I still have a No7 voucher so may go back. Thanks for posting about this! :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem :) You should go back they are lovely! x
DeleteI want and I mean WANT the 2 No 7 Nourishing Lip Shine. The shades look so gorgeous and I'm loving the pretty packaging too. Too bad I'm saving my money for my holiday in the Philippines in less than 2 weeks time. Hopefully it'll still be available in the end of July- because that's when I'll be back. Ah the curse of being a lip product junkie/ beauty blogger. You can never have enough lipsticks/ lipglosses ad lip balms right? ;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Diane! My lipgloss collection just doesn't stop growing! ;) Hopefully they will stick be around when you're back! Have a lovely trip! x
DeleteI got both the pink and peach shades in the No7 nourishing lip shines last week, both bought with £5 off vouchers so just £5.50 each! I like them! The colour is only very slight but I really like the product over all and I wouldn't buy the Clarin's one purely for the fact that there's quite a price difference for a product that is practically the same xo
ReplyDeleteI know! So happy to have found a dupe with such a massive price diff! :) x
Deletethese look lovely and i have a boots voucher woop! x
