Clinique have just released eight new shades of their popular Chubby Sticks; solid lip balm sticks that give a hint of colour. One of the good things about these is that they twist up and don't need sharpening so you don't waste product.
The sheerness of the Chubby Sticks seems to vary from shade to shade; Oversized Orange is one of the very sheer ones.
On my lips. This is quite a few swipes, and the colour still isn't very orange. This may be partly because the base of the Chubby Sticks is clear, rather than opaque and white, and so the colour of your lips comes through, but it's also due to the light concentration of colour pigment, giving a sheer wash of colour.
Full face picture. Because my lips are pale and quite blue toned it doesn't look very orange at all - it's more a gentle apricot tint. I'd like a stronger orange tint, personally, but it's pretty and easy to wear.
Chubby Sticks are £16 for 3g, available from all Clinique counters now.

you lips look really healthy! :D
ReplyDeleteIt does look pretty even if it is only subtle. I am also feeling some brown envy btw - yours are looking very lovely. x
ReplyDeleteI don't have brow envy I have full blown I-want-your-eyebrows-on-my-face strop. At the moment I am shaving my eyelids, no kidding. But back to the plot, I did not get on with my Chubby Stick because it was much more pigmented on my lips than wwhen I swatched on my hand and that put me off trying any others, however I do like Clinique in general for lipglossbalms and will look again. Thankyou
ReplyDeleteDamn, I have seen these around and hoped they weren't that great but chubby + lightly colored sounds like a perfect lip product for the summer and not to mention easy to carry and apply.
ReplyDeleteIt's meant to be. This is the second blog post I read this morning using Clinique Chubby Sticks (Modesty Brown being the other). I am definitely going to try these now. Orange looks fantastic on you, but I am thinking Watermelon or Strawberry for me. Clinique still makes great products that don't put too big a dent in the wallet.
