Lucky for me, I have a Clarins counter literally 2 minutes from my home, which is extremely convenient when I need a quick beauty pick me up. I'm already a fan of Clarins, so it was easy for me to pick out a soft pink from their Joli Rouge range. I left with #712 Baby Rose, a neutral light blue-based pink.
I really love the packaging of the Joli Rouge. It's weighty and compact. Plus, it's shiny!
Swatched, on my hand.
Applied on my lips. I find the color quite flattering on my skintone! Plus, it looks great with a smokey eye.

I decided to swatch my lipsticks for fun to see if I had any matches. MAC's Creme Cup is obviously the contender but Clarins' Baby Rose is significantly more moisturizing.
I think this may become my go-to every day lipstick! It's smells delicious, doesn't dry my lips out, and can basically be applied without a mirror. It's not long wearing, but I think that's the compromise I make with lipsticks when I don't want them to dry my lips out!
Do you have a go-to, no fail, goes with everything lipstick?
