Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm

I received a Super Strawberry sample size with a gift with purchase. I used it all the time and loved it so much I went and bought the full size product when it ran out.

With the plastic casing and well fitting lid it is a product you can sling in a backpack or purse and it won't get damaged and the lid stays on (pet peeve of mine is lipsticks/glosses losing their lids in my bag.)

The colour is reasonable sheer but a definite pinky-red colour. Think raspberry Popiscle and you are pretty much there. The colour does not last hugely long but it is very moisturising.

For a crayon style application it goes on nice and smooth. You can apply it without it going everywhere. It lasts for ages, I use this as my go to for lips at the weekend and one or two days a week and the full size is still going strong after nearly 4 months.

Oh Clinique how I love you..

It seems every time I try a Clinique product it becomes one of my all time favourites, and this is yet another to add to that list.

I had heard great things about the iconic Clinique Chubby stick, so I thought it was time I try it for myself, and I'm impressed.

The chubby stick, is well named - packaged in a rather, thick chubby pen shaped lipstick. The packaging is distinctively Clinique, high end and luxurious. I love the bright splash of colour, teamed with the silver.

First off, my lips can be rather dry and sensitive. Some lipsticks or balms seem to lack the hydration my lips need, and they look slightly cracked and emphasise how dry they are.

But, this formula is lovely - it just glides over your lips easily and they feel so moisturised and nourished. The formula lasts quite a while, a couple of hours and I still see the lovely colour on my lips.

Now on to the colour, I chose Mega Melon - an awesome reddish/pink that is just so lovely and really enhances the colour of my lips. You can build up the colour by adding more layers of the chubby stick.

This is definitely another winner from Clinique! I'm already thinking about other colours I can add to my collection.

If you haven't tried these, I definitely recommend you do!

This has to be my favourite colour. The pigmentation for this particular colour is awesome! It comes off as a deep fuchsia. It is easy to apply, goes on evenly and yes it does rub off onto anything your lips come in contact with but it does leave a nice stain.

I don't find this overly moisturising, you definitely still need balm before you apply, if you have chappy lips like I do.

I've also tried Two Ton Tomato - nice bright red, pigmentation ok, and Voluptuous Violet - nothing special, very little pigmentation (would not recommend this particular shade).

Would recommend this product for daily wear!

I first discovered this when I worked in duty free, and what can I say it was love at first sight!

The product was easy to apply and a bit longer than the usual lipsticks! What I love about this product is that it glided on easy but still had great depth of colour and what's better it lasted a long time on my lips. it was absolutely amazing at keeping my lips moisturised and plump as well so was definitely impressed with this range and will continue to use!

I love my Chubby Stick! It makes my lips feel so smooth and soft, it smells great, and it adds just the amount of colour I want. My husband loves it too!

I love these so much I have five of them - three from the original range and two 'intense' shades. I find the original shades are much sheerer, and can be applied without a mirror, but the intense shades provide opaque colour that needs more attention when applying.

My favourite is 'Heftiest Hibiscus', a very pretty orange-red that goes on smoothly but has a great colour payoff.

I have the mega melon shade, after seeing it while looking at the duty free counter I loved the smell. It doesn't taste like anything, and the colour is quite sheer but it is buildable. I lost it inside a coat pocket for a few months and was absolutely over the moon when I found it again! Absolute hands down favourite lip balm.

I first noticed Chubby Stick when I saw a friend use it, I fell in love. From that I hunted them down buying 2 of different colours. I haven't looked back. I can't put them down in any way.. They do exactly as they say. Firstly, they moisturise as much as a chap stick, they are gentle too. I know this because I have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction. The colour sticks, I mean really sticks lasting hours even through food I find. I love the range of colours that you get to choose from. I know they aren't the cheapest product but I truly believe they are worth it compared to others. Try 1 and you will be pleasantly surprised!

This is a great wee product, enough color to qualify as a lipstick, sheer enough to be low committal - you don't need a mirror or a particularly steady had, literally swipe it on and it looks fab. I have tried other products in this type of thing..the Clinique one certainly has more staying power than your average one. Great color selection too. On the pricey side, but I think worth it. Great for more mature people too, as it won't bleed into lines but still offers the comfort of a gloss.
