wearing the new Clarins Rouge Éclat Lipstick in tropical Pink ($26), one of 15 new shades for spring 2013
Whatever you do, don’t lose your flux capacitor!!
Because when you slip one of Clarins’ new Rouge Éclat Lipsticks on your lips, and blast back to the past in your time-traveling makeup DeLorean…

…you’ll probably want to return to the present at some point to check your iphone texts and enjoy cat videos on YouTube.
With these, Clarins aims to turn back time! — on the lip aging process, making them appear a lot more youthful.
So do they work? Do they flip the flux capacitor and send lips back to the kinder, gentler land of ingenue lips? A time when folks clipped pagers to their ideal front pockets and strangers attended to me as “miss” instead of “ma’am”?

Well, maybe… In a way.
But, in case you were wondering, they aren’t powered by a flux capacitor. Nope, these are actually plant wax powered.
Clarins combined mimosa, jojoba and sunflower waxes to create a formula created to improve collagen synthesis and fight the appearance of fine lines.
Whether my collagen’s been boosted, I couldn’t tell, but I do feel a little a lot more like my 20-something self than my 30-something self when I wear one of the three shades I’ve tried (there are 15 available) — tropical Pink, Coral Pink or Rosewood.
But I think that’s a lot more because of the colors Clarins created, playful shades that remind me of the blissful, carefree days when my greatest worry was worrying about the stoner who lived downstairs returning my Beastie kids tape…
One layer dresses my lips in a slow-jam of opaque coverage, and the smooth finish refuses to cross into the Evil forbidden Land of Flakes and fine Lip Lines!

Make room in your instructor wristlet, though, as you’ll probably want a touch-up after about three hours.
And speaking of that, last weekend I wore Rosewood to the motion pictures with El Hub. two hours into the motion picture (we saw Mama, btw), after a tub of popcorn and a marathon eye rolling session (I feared they might get stuck in the back of my head!), a lot of of the formula had vanished, but it left behind a deliciously kissable pink stain.
Will the Rouge Éclats transport you back! — back to those days when you spent every Friday night dancing to Biggie Smalls in dark rooms at house parties?

Hmm… maybe a little. I know I absolutely have a spring in my step when I wear ’em.
