Now bachelorette parties and wedding days can be quite a thing this season, so I dove into it. No, I'm not getting married, but there are a few bachelorette parties and weddings on the agenda of friends and of course I want to pull out the cutest outfit for that. And the cutest makeup look. Because with all that kissing and drinking on that day, you want beauty that lasts all day. Ha, Clinique beautifully responds to this with the Kiss the Bride collection.

What does it promise?

The Kiss the Bride collection has been created to say ‘yes’ to the most beautiful lips. It consists of three Long Last Soft Shine lipsticks with fun names like ‘Will You’, ‘I Do’, and ‘Honeymoon’. Long-lasting, of course. It promises long-lasting hydration and pure color that doesn't transfer or fade for eight hours. No cracks, no flakes, just soft and beautifully colored lips with a soft shine as a finish.

This does it

Josselin: “Normally I'm not really into lipstick, but Clinique also has a nude-like one in the collection. It gives a nicer shine than wearing nothing at all. So I went for it. The lipstick applies nicely. It feels soft and blends well with the lips. It feels like a balm, but gives the shine and color of a lipstick. Not too intense in shine, so that's perfect, but with a silky soft color. Then comes the crucial point, because that is of course the durability. Now it is such that you can just drink a glass without the lipstick sticking to it and you can also give a kiss without immediately giving someone's cheeks a pink tint, but to say that you can go on like this for eight hours is not entirely true. It definitely stays on for eight hours, provided you drink with a straw and give air kisses. Otherwise, you can go on with it for about five hours and occasionally touch up for the best result. Because it would be a shame not to use it. The color, the shine, the hydration is definitely worth it. One little point is; it could be that you look just a bit prettier than the bride herself. Ouch...
