Clinique: Pop on Some Conditioning Colour!

Well-known for being a cult product amongst beauty bloggers and product lovers alike, are the highly moisturising Chubby Sticks by Clinique! Understandably, being a beauty blogger myself (hmm, you don’t say?), I wanted some chubby lovin’ too!

What Clinique says: “Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm is a lip treatment with sheer colour that relieves dry, cracked lips and provides immediate moisturisation. The unique pencil-style applicator provides easy to apply sheer soft lip colour and rolls up for ease of use.”

The pencil-like appearance, ending in a blunt curved point, is really easy to apply and this can be shown by the fact that I don’t even need to use a mirror when stroking it on! It’s much easier to apply than lipsticks because of its unique shape and I do believe that this is one of the main reason’s for it being so popular! This, and how smoothly the formula glides on your lips…

The formula instantly moisturises from the second you apply it. Yesterday, I woke up with really dry lips for some reason; perhaps the constant weather change? Oh, England. But after popping on a conditioning coat of Clinique, I had a smile ready to tackle the spat of April Showers which greeted me when leaving the house. After all, the only thing I love more than Monday’s, are rainy Monday morning’s… haha yeah, right!

There’s tonnes of chubby to go around too, as the silver bottom rolls up effortlessly to reveal more and more of the subtle nude shade. #Bountiful Blush is its name, and how fitting as I believe it to be the perfect shade for a wedding – what do you think?

It’s natural looking and highly moisturizing to achieve ultra kissable lips for that big moment, and it also works nicely aside a sweeping of blusher. As a matter of fact, I have a wedding booked in for next month and may just have to suggest this to the bride-to-be, as she’s said that she wants me to create a natural look. Personally, I can’t think of a better lip colour to get the job done! Watch this space…

If you’re seeking a lip colour that you can wear everyday, this shade also fits the role. You can apply a layer to emphasize your natural lip colour, to wear alongside intense eyes to reduce the impact or you can simply use it as a lip balm for when your pout’s feeling distressed. The finish is sheer, not glossy, and my only criticism would be that it doesn’t last very long upon your lips. However, with it being so easy to apply, I didn’t find this to be much of an issue.

So there we have it…the sticks are subtle enough for daily wear, but delicious enough for special events too; therefore, you’d be silly not to have one in your life, right?!
