So,i took a walk to Clinique this weekend and temptation to the Clinique Chubby 
Sticks sucked me into their zone :) 

I always wanted a Clinique Chubby Stick and as i walked towards the variety and i mean VARIETY,it was really hard to choose which 1 i want!

They have the original Chubby stick for lips AND the new INTENSE Chubby stick for lips not to mention the new range for eyes!

Clinique’s Chubby Sticks Intense are basically Chubby Sticks with added junk in the trunk while the regular ones are just a mellow type of color and more sheer than pigmented.

I do love the old shades because they are great for everyday wear(semi sheer).

But this review is on the Chubby stick for lips that i have purchased:) The original is more sheer and glossy whereas the intense is very much pigmentated and has a splash of colour on your lip!All Chubby sticks are fragrance free I chose a very daring coral color called Heftiest Hibiscus from the intense range and i chose Graped Up from the original range.

Chubby Stick Intense Swatches

The Original Chubby Stick Range-The Shades: Richer Raisin, Graped-Up, Super Strawberry, Woppin’ Watermelon, Chunky Cherry, Mega Melon, Whole Lotta Honey and Fuller FigThe new shades are written in red -Heaping Hazelnut, Bountiful Blush, Two Ton Tomato, Oversized Orange, Mighty Mimosa, Curvy Candy, Pudgy Peony and Voluptuous Violet


This is what i bought - Heftiest Hibiscus from the Intense range.

Heftiest Hibiscus

This is a orange coral color with hints of red and a bit of glossiness!

The Intense range is a more pigmented version of the Chubby sticks.This richer version is described as a “nourishing tinted balm halfway between sheer and opaque.”

This color is opaque with some translucency where your natural lip color still comes through.Its a creamy ,balm like application that enables easy glide on application and feels comfortable to wear.

This color was extremely hydrating on my lips and lasted 4 hours.

I also like that the Chubby stick has twist up packaging and theres no sharpening required.

This is what i bought - Graped Up form the Original range

Graped Up

I love that no matter how dry my lips are,Cliniques original Chubby stick just glides on and leave my lips soft and smooth!It like a gorgeous chic tinted lip balm.

Do not let the picture fool you.This is a very light and glossy color.

The Clinique Chubby Sticks are lusciously glossy, hydrating, and pretty

the staying powder isn’t all that great, but they’re super easy to apply and perfect for Spring/Summer :)

What i love :

1. Moisturizing and balmy in texture.

2.Variety of colors to play with suitable for everyday use

3. Easy twist-up

4. Other than Oversized Orange none have glitter particles..

5. Easy to remove.

6.Glossy

What i dont really love: 

1.The price! Its R215,quite pricey!

Pretty Coral

The color is a glossy coral pink that is semi opaque.
When i saw this lipstick online at Rubybox,i thought it would be a bright coral but when i received it,it was a very light,natural glossy coral color. It does have a shimmering effect to it.

For me personally,i cannot wear this lipstick on its own.I usually apply lipgloss over it just for a pop :)

It is moisturizing and i have dry lips so it works great.I love the way it just glides on your lips.I love the creamy formula.

Swatched

Its a very sheer color,you can rub it 10 times and it will still appear on your lips AND even better!

The color does not show as much if you have pigmented lips but if you really love the color then dab some concealer on your lip and glide on Splendid :) 

Natural on the lip

Nice sheer colour for Spring or Summer.Appears to be a bright coral but in fact,it is a very light coral that gives your lips a glow.

I bought mine from Rubybox at a bargain for only R64.

What a stunning spring /summer colour.
You would think this would be more pinkish and the name does say wild strawberry but its actually a gorgeous, fun and summery coral pop of  colour.

There is no need for more than 1 coat but I always do 3 coats and a clear polish over which is the 3rd coat.


It Goes on smooth and very shiny... love it.

I painted my nails on Tuesday and its still looking decent on my nails and today is Friday.

And my nails grow really fast!

I wanted to do something more interesting so I painted a glitter pigmented Avon nail polish on every second nail (silver plated-R30).

I love sparkle but I definitely know my limit lol.When it comes to nails and when i am doing it myself, simple is better and I received so many compliments thus far..I actually felt so professional when its so simple and easy ! You just need a few minutes to yourself and its very therapeutic for me.

Very pretty coral colour thats perfect for summer!
