On Friday (June 1st) Clinique unveiled eight new shades of their famous Chubby Sticks
and to celebrate they have launched an online tool that allows you to mix and match
all of the shades using a stimulator to create a custom lip shade and kiss
that you can send to someone special... it is pretty fun!
You can try it out here - link.


Clinique Chubby Sticks are essentially chunky crayons of tinted lip balm, that moisturise
and norish the lips due to a blend of oils, butters and antioxidants such as Shea Butter.
Everything about the Clinique Chubby Sticks is convenient particularly if you are partial to tinted lip balm,
the pencil/crayon design means gone are the days when you had to apply using your fingers.
It also means you apply with precision and as the bottom turns up
there is no need to sharpen, resulting in time and product saved!


Woppin' Watermelon is one of the more subtle shades of the Chubby Sticks I have encountered
but did you know that it is the best selling shade in the UK, China and Korea?
Clinique Woppin' Watermelon is a light bright blue based pink shade that is fairly sheer in coverage
it works with the natural tone of your lips but adds a light pink hint of a tint
so it should be flattering on most as it doesn't mask the natural hue of your lips.
It is one of those shades you can slick on and forget about as it is so muted
making it a great choice to pair with a bold eye look instead of a typical nude shade.


There's not too much I can really say about the formula other than it's firm enough to hold it's shape
yet soft and nourishing on the lips, doesn't cling to dry patches nor does it bleed or feather throughout the day and is not at all sticky despite the light glossy finish.
It's easy to apply and a great choice for warm days when lipstick is the least of your beauty worries.
In terms of wear I find Clinique Chubby Sticks to wear for around three hours as long as you 
don't eat or drink which is fairly substantial. 
The pigmentation is more than fair given it is a tinted balm.
