Offering radiance and hydration without the stickiness of classic glosses, Helen Mirren's go-to lippie is a must-buy - especially for those who favour low-maintenance staples. Oh, and did we mention it's on sale?
While matte and satin formulas take up a lot of real estate on the list of best long-lasting lipsticks, there's always a time and a place for a glassy finish. Especially, when said glassy number claims to be non-sticky and also doubles as a hydrating balm. And what multi-tasking product are we referring to exactly? Why, none other than L'Oreal Paris' Glow Paradise Balm-in-Gloss, which just so happens to have another point in its favour (the most impressive yet, if you ask us) and it's that Helen Mirren, herself, keeps it stashed in her beauty bag.
So, if you're on the hunt for a new, minimal-effort lip product that can be applied on the go - for a plump and hydrated pout - here's why you might want to consider Helen Mirren's go-to shade...
The glassy, no-fuss lip product Helen Mirren adores for an on-the-go look
Sharing her go-to beauty staples with Harper's Bazaar, Helen Mirren shared that she's a fan of L'Oreal Paris' Glow Paradise Balm-In-Gloss in the shade "402 I Soar."
After revealing one of her favourite fragrances (Helen Mirren's perfume of choice is Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay, one of the best Jo Malone scents on the market, naturally), she said of this gloss: "I always want to have something I can put on my lips, that I can put on my lips without looking in the mirror." Mirren then demonstrated swiping the tinted gloss over her lips before quipping, "And that's all you need to do."
She then remarked on how she feels it's always really important to have something with you that you can simply apply to your lips without needing a mirror, adding: "I don't like all that looking in the mirror business."
RRP: £9.99
Boasting hyaluronic acid, collagen and pomegranate extract, this balm and lip gloss hybrid delivers a flattering rosy tint, whilst also plumping and hydrating the lips - making it quite the multitasker to have in your handbag.
As for the formula, this gloss is enriched with hyaluronic acid and collagen, to hydrate and nourish your lips, whilst also adding volume - for a perfectly plump pout.
