Review - Clinique Chubby Sticks Lip Balm

Leave a Comment
Clinique may be my favourite skincare and make up brand of all time. Actually it is, hands down! I will never stop raving about these lip balms, they are my favourite and I wanted to share them with you all!

These lip balms are super soft on the lips and very nourishing. The lip balm includes mango and shea butter and is perfect on dry lips if you want a pop of colour but don't want to take the risk of your lips drying out even more! Best thing about it, practically wise, is that is never needs sharpening. I hate sharpening things as I lose most of the product in the sharpener!

With coloured lip balms, I feel the need to apply a lip liner just because they are so moisturising and can easily slip over the lips but these are amazing and just stay where they should be. Also finding a lip liner right for the colours available could be a little tricky.

They have a wide variety of colours from the palest of pinks to the brightest of reds and oranges to the deepest of purples. The only reason I wouldn't wear these on a night out is that I like a matte finish but during the day, for me, these are spectacular.

They stay put for a very long time - the paler colours may need re-applying after eating or drinking.
There are currently 3 types of Chubby Sticks for the lips and they are the normal edition, baby tint and intense colour. I currently own 2 from the normal edition and 1 from the intense colour edition.


Top to bottom: Woppin' Watermelon, Grandest Grape, Pudgy Peony


My top 5 colours from the normal collection are:
1) Plushest Petal
2) Whole Lotta Honey
3) Two Ton Tomato
4) Chunky Cherry
5) Heaping Hazelnut

Intense collection:
1) Grandest Guava
2) Grandest Grape
3) Curviest Caramel
4) Heftiest Hibiscus
5) Chunkiest Chilly

There are only 4 colours available in baby tint but my favourite has got to be Poppin' Poppy.

I would definitely recommend these to people who like a day to night look where you can wear one coat for the day and easily build it up for a perfect statement. I would also recommend if you are just looking for that perfect everyday colour that suits you whether it be orange, purple, pink or red.. you will get a really natural looking wash of colour.

Mini Review - Clinique Pop Lip Colour Primer

Leave a Comment
As an avid fan of the Clinique range, I was so excited to hear about these new lipsticks. I absolutely adore their Extreme Colour 'Chubby Sticks' and was desperately hoping for another amazing product and I was glad in what I came across! These are soft and creamy and feel absolutely wonderful. They are very long lasting (from 9am to 3:30pm there was very little movement of colour).

I purchased Berry Pop which is a lovely dark red colour with fantastic colour pay off. I then went back to purchase Bare Pop and this colour is the most amazing sheer nude colour.

I would recommend these lipsticks to anyone who is wanting a sheer coverage (in the pink shades) but still with a pop of colour and something that will not dry out the lips or budge at all! The dark shades seem to show up one or two shades darker when on the lips so this may be something to consider.
