Hey lovelies!! Recently you must have seen me fawning over Miss Claire stuff over Facebook ;) I did a small haul from the brand and I have already reviewed their French Manicure Kit (read it HERE to find out why I am in love with the kit!) I also got three of their much raved lip creams which claim to have “soft matte” texture. Read on to find out my views on them!

Product name: Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream
Shades: No. 05, 12 and 17A (Yes, they have numbers instead of names, something which I do not like)

Product Description: It’s not lipstick, nor is it gloss. It’s nothing like you have experienced before. It’s lipstick cream that goes on silky but looks soft matte

Price: Miss Claire lip creams are sold over some retail counters and all over Instagram from anywhere between Rs.150 to Rs.250. I bought these three for a total of Rs.500. So it comes down to about 165/- each.

Packaging: They come in transparent tubes with black caps housing a wand applicator. The see-through body helps you know exactly which shade it is when stashed in your makeup kit :P The applicator is doe-foot which gives precision application even on thin lips like mine. Remember how I disliked the rectangular wand applicator of the “Incolor Matte Me Lip creams”?

My Take: I picked the shades 05, 12 and 17A.
Shade no 5. is a perfect warm peach with pinkish undertones. It would suit fair to medium skin tones beautifully
Shade no. 12 is a blue based fuchsia on me although it is described as deep berry pink on other blogs. On me it looks blue based clean fuchsia under normal light and a rich dark pink under yellow light. It will suit every complexion. It is an instant face brightener.
Shade no. 17A is an everyday colour - muddy pink. It is apt for workplace or for days you want an understated lip colour. The flesh pink tone would suit every complexion without washing it out.

All of them smell exactly like toffee and I feel like smacking it off after application :P The texture is soufflé like light and completely unlike “Incolor matte me” ones which screams super matte. Miss Claire Soft matte lip creams would appear creamy while applying, almost like melted butter. This made me doubt if they would settle down to matte. But it did in a few seconds. When you see the lip swatches, you will see that No. 12 is how the lip cream looks just after application and No. 17A is how they turn out after a few seconds and No. 5 is how they ultimately look like in a minute or two.

One more thing I noticed it, No. 12 is a bit runnier compared to the other two. This might be the case with only my one though! (Manufacturing batch issues). But nevertheless, it does settle into a soft matte texture as well.
I have worn this lip creams to work and they survived heavy breakfast completely and stayed same till lunch. After lunch they do fade a little but the tint is still there. Also, they are very comfortable on lips unlike the super matte Incolor lip creams and you don’t feel like you “have something on your lips”.
