Run, don't walk, to purchase Kate Middleton's favourite Clarins lip gloss, which is on sale for a rare £16 right now.
The Princess of Wales no doubt has access to all of the most-sought after lip products on the market - from the best lipsticks and lip oils to must-have lip balms. So when she's confirmed to use a certain lip gloss, we know it must be a gooden.
Which is why when she was photographed using the Clarins Natural Lip Perfector at Wimbledon 2019, royal fans rushed to snap it up.
The nourishing, pretty pink product, which is a hybrid lip gloss and chapstick, works for day-to-day use and even fancier occasions, and is perfect for giving a naturally flushed look to the lips - as seen on the Princess of Wales as she sat courtside in a white shirtdress by Suzannah.
And Kate's favourite Clarins gloss is discounted in a rare sale now, with Debenhams making reductions as part of their early Black Friday beauty deals, slashing the price of the Clarins Natural Lip Perfector to £16.80 from £21.

In the iconic Wimbledon photo of Princess Catherine with the Clarins product, she is thought to be holding the shade Rose Shimmer - a rosy pink shade that is universally flattering, and is luckily still in stock. But in case this product sells out soon - and we predict that it just might - there are a handful of other incredibly delectable and versatile shades to choose from.
Lip gloss can be a bit of a toss-up as a product - not enough shine, and the gloss won't do its job. But, with an unwanted too-sticky formula, you could risk that dreaded hair-sticking-to-your-lips situation that we all know and despise. This product, however, doesn't boast such issues, providing an incredible, subtle sheen that is non-sticky and works alone or with your favourite lip liner or lipstick.
And, the applicator is a great shape, ensuring an even swipe of the product every time. According to the Clarins website, the product's applicator is an "easy-to-use angled cushion applicator provides the perfect amount of colour for an irresistibly pretty pout." Sounds convincing enough for us.
Luckily, we can confirm that fans love it too. "My go to lip gloss. This is luxury but not the most expensive gloss it really is gorgeous and the correct consistency too. It lasts a long time also," one person reviewed on the Debenhams site.
