Moisturizing Lip Colour
First time trying this stuff and its decent. I'm not big on lipstick so thought this would be a little different for me, something with a little colour but nothing crazy. I don't find it last long at all but I did like the little hint of colour it gave me for the time. I would use it again but if you're looking for something to stay on a while I would try something else.
i'm a bit mixed on how i feel about this. one the one hand, its super smooth, easy to go on and moisturizing. HOWEVER, it left this nasty residue on my lips and it was gross. if they had a lip balm without colour i would definitely recommend it but for the ones with colour, i really would skip it.
As much as I love the other chubby sticks, this one was not good. With a name like baby tint, I was expecting very sheer light color. This is not what I got. I used the light pink color and my lips were a very hot pink. And not glossy, kind of a stained look. My husband hated it. He is used to a very natural look with my makeup. Very disappointed.
It works well, but it's a very expensive moisturizing lip colour balm. For the price, I still prefer Fresh Sugar balms...where there still isn't a close competitive product...it also has SPF15.
Recently I picked up two of the Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tints (Budding Blossom and Flowering Freesia). I'm not a lipstick girl, but I love gloss and tinted balm. These ones are supposed to develop into the perfect shade for you. Well, I tried both shades several times and I can't see any difference between the two. In fact, I detect almost no colour at all. I've seen reviews online with photos that show the colour differences, but on me there is little to no difference. The balm itself is very smooth and moisturizing, but in my opinion, not worth the cost.
I love the idea of the Chubby. The colours and the packaging is great. But like all Clinique lip stuff, they dry my lips out. So because I do like the colour, staying power, and the feeling of it on I started passing them along to friends. They unfortunately told me the same thing, dries out their lips, so it's not just me.
Now they did just come out with a 2.0 version with more moisturizing power. I'll wait to get a sample to try it out and hope that it does what it says!
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided myself to buy one of Clinique's chubby sticks. I was a bit disappointed with my purchase, considering how much I had paid for it... I got mine at Sephora in Paris for about 23 EUROS, which comes to about 30$.
Yes, chubby sticks have great pigmentation, but with that quantity of pigmentation, you can't afford to put some aside of your lip line. chubby stick is so "chubby" that it gives no precision at all and makes it very difficult to control. And it only gets worse when you start wearing it out. The tip gets flat and becomes even MORE difficult to apply.
But that's not all. Of course chubby stick moisturizes your lips and let them fairly soft, but an hour or so after applying it, you will find it peeling away in little clumps. Totally disgusting and unwelcomed from a 30$ lipstick-chapstick.
They DO have great colours though. My chubby stick is Pudgy Peony and I got quite a few compliments for the great color.
I would say that the chubby sticks are ok, but so not worth the price.
