The Clarins HydraQuench Moisture Replenishing lip balm, which retails for $24, quickly attracted attention (complete with the hashtag #lupitalipbalm and GIFs), and according to a release issued by the French cosmetics company, the lip balm “almost sold out across the country overnight.”
“We were more than thrilled. We were ecstatic. And shocked. And — frankly — screaming at our televisions,” Clarins wrote in a blog post titled, “As Seen on Tele: Clarins Goes to the Oscars.”
Although it’s sold out at the moment, Clarins tweeted to an interested customer that the company has “ordered extra stock from Paris.”
