Kate Middleton’s beauty must-haves always manage to garner attention, especially as the royal is known to pick some up from the high street.
One that always seems to fly off shelves when it is back in stock is the Clarins Lip Perfector. After the Princess of Wales was spotted wearing the shade Rose Shimmer at Wimbledon in 2019, it has regularly sold out quickly.
Which is why you might want to bag Debenhams’ 20 percent off discount on the “hydrating” lipstick while you can, where it has been dropped from £23 to £18.40. That’s cheaper than both Boots and Clarins where it is priced at £19.55 and £23 respectively.
The Express reports that the beloved Clarins lip balm doesn’t just moisturise your pout, but also adds a gentle hint of colour for that natural gloss and enhanced lip beauty. As a tinted lip balm, it can be used on its own or for refreshing your go-to lipstick.
You also don’t just have to choose Kate’s signature shade, as there are 14 other shades to choose from on the Debenhams website. With a 3D shimmer, it can also plump up your lips and give you a luminous smile.
It’s not just the royal that’s a fan of the Clarins Lip Perfector, as many satisfied users have left it glowing reviews to praise it for its non-stick gloss and moisture-rich formula.
One delighted shopper said: “Not sticky, just very comfortable and hydrating but gives a lovely subtle enhancement in a super flattering shade.”
Another dedicated fan added: “I’ve been using these for years now and I’ve had all the colours. I’m never without one in my bag. Keep your lips in great condition while giving a hint of colour with added shine.”
A third beauty fan praised: “I just love everything about this product, the gloss is so creamy not sticky at all, the colours are subtle but pretty and the natural a great one to use in the summer on the beach.”

However, the sponge applicator seems to have divided some users. While many prefer it for its practicality, there have been a few who seem to prefer a roller-style applicator, as they “don’t care for the way the sponge like applicator feels”.
You can bag Kate’s go-to Clarins Perfector Lip Balm in Rose Shimmer for under £20 at Debenhams here.
For those looking to shop elsewhere, then you can look at Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream Lip Tint in Blush for £18.40, down from £23. Meanwhile, a very similar alternative to Kate’s Clarins go-to is the Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Cushion Gloss, down to £4.49 from £8.99 on Amazon.
