Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review

I love these! I was given one by my mum a few years back and since then they have been my go to for everyday wear. Great range of colours and also hydrate the lips.

They are just so easy to apply and I love how you can build the colour up. Perfect for minimal makeup days!

Perfect for people just starting their lipstick journey.

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.

I got this product free in a Clinique gift pack in the shade 'Watermelon' and I love the colour! It moisturises my lips, and also lasts for 2-3 hours on my lips. I was slightly disappointed as mine broke in half after only using it a few times. I am definitely thinking of repurchasing this as I love the colour!

I am a sucker for cute packaging and couldn't go past the chubby stick - I chose the romantic rose shade which is a blue based reddish pink. It acts like a lip stain on me and really goes the distance and I love the balm texture of it. Will definitely try more shades in the future

I love my Chubby stick, it leaves a rich colour and unlike lipgloss doesn't leave a sticky residue on the lips. I have always had issues with plain lipstick as I find they make my lips look thinner and have always stuck to glosses to get a plumper look. I received my first Chubby Stick as a gift with purchase and loved it straight away. It goes on easily and leaves my lips feeling moisturised. It does tend to wear off quicker than lippy but because it doesn't dry the lips you can apply again and again. During the Christmas period Clinique released a Mini Chubby pack of 5 sticks in a range of colours for $50 so it's a great way to play with colours before you commit to a standard size. I don't leave the house without my Chubby now as it's so moisturising that I have swapped my lip balm for it. You would easily get 6 months out of one stick but there are cheaper options around if the $40-$50 price tag puts you off

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 love the original Chubby Stick formulation and I am a big Clinique girl so I was bound to acquire several of these. At present I have three: Heftiest Hibiscus (a gorgeous orange), Mightiest Maraschino (a lovely true red) and Roomiest Rose (a deep pink, and a more intensely pigmented version of Super Strawberry, which I also have).

I find these to be much more intensely pigmented than the original formula, which I often apply without a mirror and have a smooth moisturising finish. These I cannot get away with applying them without a mirror. They have a more matte finish than the original formulation too, which does mean they last longer.

Heftiest Hibiscus is my favourite (cannot go past an orange), but there are only 8 shades in the range so hopefully they will look at expanding it.

I have a pinky and reddy tone of this product, they both are a medium tint on my lips. On me they have softened my lips whilst using, non bleed and non flaking. The product it self is large and reminds me of a jumbo crayon, a little goes a long way so this is a product that will last ages. I paid $10 for each of mine new off facebook.
