Perfection in a tube?

Today I'm going to talk about a product that has definitely already done the rounds on blogs and YT channels, but as usual I'm totally behind with the times and have only recently decided to see if the hype is justified. Being a lip product lover, I can only be talking about the Clarins 'Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector'.

Mine is shade 1 'Rose Shimmer' and I bought it for £16.00 from Debenhams. Firstly, this product smells divine... It really reminds me of the Korres 'Jasmine' lip butter scent which I love. Secondly, the colour payoff is surprisingly good. For a nude lipgloss, I expected the pigmentation to be fairly lacking, but as you will see from my swatches it is definitely pleasing. 

These swatches are taken in different light. The first is taken without flash in dim light, and the second is also without flash but in daylight. My lips are naturally slightly darker than most nude lip colours can suit, but because this product isn't fully pigmented I feel I can pull it off well and it feels lovely on the lips.

Have you tried any of these? I know the coral coloured one is also popular. If you have, let me know in the comments :)
