Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review

I got this as an easier to apply version of lipstick, and it is really nice, but is expensive considering there are similar items on the market.

Pros: High colour pigment - it applies well and there is a good range of colour. Easy to use - the chubby (as much as I hate that word) pencil type packaging makes it easy to apply. The product comes with a pointy end which helps with this, although it flattens out over time. The product feels moisturising and there is no dry finish or pilling like you get with some lipsticks. It's not the most long-lasting, but I'm not mad at the wear time, and it does fade evenly.

Cons: The price! It was nice to get one as a gift with purchase but I don't think I'd pony out and buy it myself. Especially when other brands such as Revlon have similar products for less.

I bought this in the colour 'Curvy Candy'. It is a cool-toned, feminine pink colour that looks very natural. The balm is not highly pigmented, rather it is quite sheer, but buildable. This gives a soft and natural colour, which makes it great for everyday use. The formula is very moisturising, and makes the lips look plump, so great to use for those who have drier lips. A down side is that they do not last very long. However, the balm glides on very smoothly and the colour does not bleed. Also it does not leave that horrible outer ring of lip colour as the colour wears off.

The packaging is very cute and easy to use; it looks like like a large, chubby crayon with a twistable base and has quite a bit of product.

The formulation of this is amazing! So moist and smooth. It doesn't get greasy even after few applications and keeps your lip moist and smooth for a very long time!

I love how it's in a pencil form as I don't have to worry about washing my hands before applying. I also love how you could easily build up a colour with this lip balm. My friends who don't wear a lot of makeup love this as Chubby can achieve a natural "no-makeup look"! For me, this is even better! I have really dry cracked lips but I love giving a subtle accent on my lips. With chubby, I can easily build up a colour that I want without getting my lips dry. It's just perfect!

I have chunky cherry but I'm planning to get the watermelon one too! (forgot what it was exactly called .. but it's a light pink one!) Better own the whole selection!

Love this as an easy to wear colour that can be lightly applied for daytime or with a bit of lip prepping can be bolded up for evening wear. It's lovely and doesn't dry my lips. I have the gorgeous hibiscus (a coral or orange colour depending on your lip colour) which I wore on a winter escape to the sun, and I'm looking forward to wearing here this summer. I do need a mirror to apply but it's easy in a stick and quick to locate in my makeup bag due to the stick colour (don't need to pick up and check 20 black lipstick cases to find the colour I'm after). Does need re-applying but that's okay as it makes my lips look more lush than long lasting formulas.

I'm a huge fan of lip products that come in the shape of a pencil/crayon. I love that there is more product, and the fact that the consistency is thicker and easier to use.

This one, is by far my favourite type of crayon/pencil lip product! Pricey, yes, but soooo worth it. What I notice with most crayon lipsticks are that they are super drying, and don't have the same creamy consistency that lipsticks do, and as such crack my lips, but I LOVE this one as it is so different, and that's what really made me adore this product!

Starting with the packaging, it is a matte pencil with silver plastic ends which gives it a very luxurious look, totally matches the price tag. The lid/cap comes off easily, but when pressed back on, completely seals, so you don't have to worry about it flying off and ruining your handbag. I have had a couple of these for a very long time, and assumed that over time they would wear and tear and the lids would become loose, but so far that is yet to happen. A+ on the durability.

As soon as you grab it to put it on, it glides, GLIDEs, like skates on ice. No pulling across your lips. It is super super rich, and very moisturising. It's non runny, and not greasy at all, and has a matte finish. It's also non-sticky, and almost feels like a lip tint as you dont even notice or feel it on the lips.

Yes, it is very very moisturising, a promise that Clinique has kept well. Throughout the whole day while this is on, I never have to apply any lip balm too soothe out the dryness like I would with any other lip product! It's like a complete two in one!

It lasts a good 3-5 hours without a second application, although there is little colour fade after eating and drinking which is very normal to lipsticks.

I also love the range they come in, I've picked up about 5 of these as blind buys and love every single shade. They all suit my skin tone perfectly! I also love that they are blue based and can make your teeth look whiter, which is a super bonus! It is also very colour builadble.

I am so in love with these, and I prefer them over lipstick any day.

I actually love this little lippy. I love that they're called Chubby sticks and I love the colour result. I apply this when in a rush and it never bleeds further than my lips. It is not the most resistant to cups of tea but I find after a a few applications in a day my lips get a pink stain to them by which point I find I no longer need to apply. Great little lippy to keep in ya bag.

I really love Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms - at the moment they're my favourite product for my lips! They are super-moisturising. The colour is buildable by applying more layers. The pencils don't need sharpening (luckily - because I don't have a giant sharpener), you just twist the end when you want to 'sharpen' it! The colour on the outside of the Chubby Stick matches each individual shade so it's incredibly easy to tell which colour you are choosing when fumbling through an over-stuffed makeup bag. They feel lovely to apply (glide on like silk) and keep my lips feeling amazing and comfortable all day with absolutely no stickiness. The colour, as well as the moisture, both stay put for ages - longer than most others. The colour does fade a little bit after having a cup of tea or coffee, which is to be expected, but the basic stain remains and still looks gorgeous, so it isn't an issue at all - you're not left with a ring of colour around the outside of your lips as you are with most lip colours. My lips have a tendency to dry out so I'm always on the lookout for moisturising lip colours, so I was exceptionally happy when I came across this. I love that I am able to get a precise lipline using Chubby Sticks and there is absolutely no chance of smudges, smears or colour bleeds. The colours are really flattering. I just wish there were more colours available - I'd buy them all! Even though these aren't a budget price they are well and truly worth every cent! I've got two similar but amazing pink shades at the moment but I plan to get more colours (red will be next). The ones I have are #05 Plushest Punch, which gives a gorgeous, flattering pink stain and I also have #06 Roomiest Rose, which is slightly darker. Both suit my cool-toned colouring brilliantly!

I recently bought this in "Mightiest Maraschino " and I have to say I'm really impressed. I had bought it initially to take advantage of the recent gwp offer (which by the way was NOTHING like what was advertised, but that's another story). I had bought the other variety of Chubby Stick before in Fuller Fig, and quite liked it. It was a great natural, neutral for me. This time however, I wanted to amp it up a bit. In the same crayonish package, this colour is way intense. Exactly as they say. A gorgeous reddish/deep raspberry colour that lasts until lunchtime. The tip of this lipstick is quite pointy , But for me this doesn't last that long as I wear it to a flattish surface quite quickly. Despite this, it still goes on really precisely. As mentioned before...this colour for me is fabulous! Just the pop of colour that brightens up a grey, chilly winter day.

Very easy to wear, moisturizing and comfortable.

I have this in the shade mighty mimosa which is a lovely light pink. And it is the best every day lip product, whether i'm wearing anything from no to full makeup.

I have quite dry lips and wearing lipstick can dry them out further. So this product is ideal for me.

However, it is quite pricy.

I managed to pick this beauty up at the local Farmers for a good price, at the time it was on special. I couldnt wait to trial as I was looking for a good intense moisture stick, Absolutely adore the color it gives when applying on lips. its so long lasting aswell, and gives a great coverage on lips.
