After trying Cle de Peau Beaute Radiant Lip Gloss that Caty generously sent to me in 2021 in a luxurious care package (thank you yet again, Caty!), I loved the color 103 Legend so much that I sought out the other LE items released with this shade: this Refined Lip Luminizer and a Lipstick Cashmere (will post next). And yes, since this post is years behind, these Lip Luminizers have been long discontinued :(
All pictures taken in natural light without flash.
This one is another packaging from CdP that I don't love. It's not the stick pen style with the twist up bottom that I dislike--it's the length and the girth. It's too thick and too long in my opinion, and for no good reason. For example, that inch-long clear bit at the bottom with a sliver of color, it serves no purpose other than "looking kind of cool," and honestly I don't find that very "cool" at all. Personally, I'd rather the tube be slimmer and shorter, for portability and storage.
Again, despite the packaging, the formula is amazing. This is a silky smooth and soft lipstick with sheer but buildable color. The texture is just right, not too goopy thick but not thin and silicone-y either. It's very moisturizing and long-lasting, with a lovely sheen that's not too glossy.
- 103 Legend: shimmer-free sheer red. Interestingly enough, for some reason, this red is neutral in the Radiant Lip Gloss but in this Lip Luminizer form, it's visibly warmer! I don't know if it's because of the formula or what, but once applied to my lips, the yellow becomes apparent, and after a few hours, the color fades to a pretty coral-red.
This Refined Lip Luminizer (left) and Lipstick Cashmere (right, will post next) in 103 Legend, both LE's.
And why stop at two when I can compare all three? ^.^
From left to right: Radiant Lip Gloss, this Lip Luminizer, and Lipstick Cashmere, all in 103 Legend, and all are LE's. These are some of the higlights in my lipstick drawers!
