Full Potential™ Lips Plump and Shine
Triple-action plumping gloss instantly and gently creates a fuller, lusher look. The plush effect lingers up to 6 hours. With continued use, peptides prompt skin’s natural collagen production to foster a smoother, more defined look. Builds moisture cushion, too. With all the comforts of Clinique.
My mum brought back a box-full of these babies. It’s the Clinique Full Potential™ Lips Plump and Shine. The tube is a dual lip gloss. I reckon the box was like a sampler cuz it contained several shades. I chose this nude and tawny shade combo: Glamour-full (nude) and Mimosa Blossom (tawny).
I’ve always been a fan of Clinique. I like how mild their products are. I used to have cheek blushes and eye shadow palette but both were stolen. What luck, eh? Ah, well. I do hope she’s beautiful now.
The Clinique Full Potential™ Lips Plump and Shine promises:
* Instantly, lips look up to 30% plumper, with a luscious shine.
* Over time, lips appear fuller, more defined, with improved tone, fewer visible lines.
* Ongoing use boosts moisture to cushion and comfort lips.
I gave it a try. Once. I was sort of turned off cuz twas too sticky and it felt like it was attaching itself onto my lips. I didn’t like it one bit. However, I found out that it’s expected for one to experience a “tingle” at the first try. I guess, I should give one more chance.
But do I really need a plumper lip? I wouldn’t mind improving the tone and boosting the moisture on my lips, though. I prefer them looking healthy and soft. That’s the reason why we try and make them up, yea?
Ah, more reasons to love lip glosses. This one from Clinique has renewed my faith and excitement in using lip glosses again. I sort of miss using the Cranberry lip-balm from TBS and the nude gloss from Revlon. This reminds me — perhaps I should take a photo of my growing lip gloss/lip balm collection. Maybe I will. Just for fun. Keep an eye on it.

ohhh I have my makeup kit stolen as well when i was in College, in front of Quiapo church! LOL and it was a clinique set as well and I felt soooo bad! It’s like I lost my wallet, guess the snatcher thought it was a wallet coz it’s a size of a wallet! LOL..
Ohh the clinique lip gloss looks promising!! Can’t wait to see you wear it!
I love your blog…Most consumer type blogs will talk about products I will never be able to afford in a million years, but you talk about things that I might actually be interested in getting. Thank you!

Sorry to hear that. I’m still scanning photos to see if I had a photo taken with me wearing it. Sophie also gave this baby a test run and loved it. I’ll have to check if she’s ok with me posting a photo.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy Beauty Bento Box. I do try keep it simple. Seeing that I can’t afford to buy the more expensive goodies myself, I stick with what I can get my hands on. I can only do so much on splurging. Have to control it, otherwise I’ll end up broke. LOL. I’m glad you find my posts useful! Thanks again!
Thanks sasha, no worries about the photo!
I take your word and Sophie’s word for it! If you guys love it, i’m sure I’ll love it as well! 
Cool.
