Clinique’s new Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine is a multi-purpose lipgloss claimed to create the illusion of fuller lips without the stinging sensation sometimes associated with lip plumping products.
The lipglosses are said to offer an immediate plumping effect and up to 30% increased volume over time. With continued use, Clinique says the product will also improve lip tone and mask fine lines while smoothing and defining the lip area.
A specially derived patented blend of Capsicum frutescens fruit extract and Zingiber officinale (ginger root oil) produce a temporary mild sensation which stimulates the lips, helping to add volume. In addition, magnifying pearls in three particle shapes provide a 3-D effect which results in lips having a fuller appearance. Clinique has also taken a peptide, palmitoyl oligopeptide, normally used in its skin care to help boost natural collagen in the lip area.
The product is available in ten shades including Peach Plump, Cherry Bomb and Voluptuous Violet, and is housed in a clear tube with a silver cap applicator.
