We love mattes as much as the next junkie, but we're predicting that modern lip gloss will be coming back in style soon! Trends always go in cycles, replacing each other. Plus, after a few years of dehydrating our puckers, we need a break — something a bit more nourishing.
Clarins seems to be on the same page as us, since the French brand is released four new versions of its Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. The additional shades each have a special function. Candy and Raspberry offer color-changing formulas that adjust to your PH; Mint cools and plumps; and Honey Glam is perfect the chicest, most subtle way to wear glitter.
The lip oils also have the coziest applicator we've tried yet. The oversize doe-foot is seriously soft and flexible, so you'll want to keep applying. But you likely won't need to, because hazelnut and jojoba oils will keep your lips glossy and moisturized.
While the glosses don't launch until June 2017 (for $26 each), you can get a sneak peek here — and learn all of the juicy details about each one!

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Candy
The shade: Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Candy
Why we love it: This hot-pink tinted formula actually smells a little like a floral cotton candy! You can thank organic amaranth flower extract for giving it that fragrance and also its supreme hydration. But that's not the coolest feature. It has an "intelligent pigment PH" in it that customizes to your perfect shade of pink. (On me, it transformed into a bright, but sheer bubble gum shade.)

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Tangerine
The shade: Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Tangerine
Why we love it: Even if creamsicles aren't part of your beach-bod diet, you can still enjoy that sweet scent with this iteration. It has organic buriti fruit, which adds to the amber shade of the oil and also its nourishing feel. Like Raspberry, this tint has a smart PH that adjusts the hue to be the idea tangerine-coral for your lips. (Mine transformed into an orange-coral tint that would look flawless with a layer of self-tanner.)

Why we love it: Don't be scared by the green! It actually goes on clear. The color is inspired by it's minty scent and cooling effect. This is also giving you just a bit of lip plumping! Try it on a hot day when you can't even with actual makeup and crave something chilly.
