New to the cubby stick family

You may remember a few years ago, Clinique was the first to release Chubby Sticks and soon all companies and brands were following suit with chubby lip pencils and crayons. This fall Clinique is introducing two new products to the chubby stick family with their new Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Cheek Colour Balm and Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Crayon Balm.

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Cheek Colour Balm is an oil-free, creamy blush that adds both a pop of colour and a hint of glow to the cheek in one quick and easy swipe. It’s formulated with a combination of Lecithin, Squalane, Phytosteryl Isostearate along with Vitamin E, to help enhance barrier repair and give the formula its non-drying properties, while still being water, sweat, and humidity-resistant.

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Cheek Colour Balm features a swivel up design with a dome shape head that never needs to be sharpened. It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and glides effortlessly across the cheeks. It has a creamy, satin texture, applies like a cream blush, but sets to a powder finish. It’s fairly pigmented, providing great colour payoff in a single swipe. It’s easily blendable for a smooth and seamless finish. It doesn’t cling to dry areas, doesn’t feel or look greasy and is extremely buildable for more opaque colour. It lasts a solid 7 to 8 hours on the skin before fading. It gives a healthy and glowy finish to the cheeks without emphasising pores or fine lines.

I love the simplicity of these Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Cheek Colour Balms. It’s perfect for the girl in a rush, someone who doesn’t want to fuss with too many products or someone looking for a simple and easy solution for getting a pop of colour on her cheeks. I love that I can use my fingers to blend it out without having to fuss with a blush brush, making it perfect for when I’m on the go. I actually think it gives a more natural and flattering look to the cheeks than a traditional blush. It gives a fresh and fabulous pop of colour in the matter of seconds. Even though it has a cream base formula, it withholds the heat and humidity quite nicely. It can be layered for those of you who prefer desired colour intensity and coverage, ranging from a natural flush to a more intense blush. It comes in 4 new shades, Ampd Up Apple, Robust Rhubarb, Plumped Up Peony and Roly Poly Rosy for $24.

Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Crayon Balm works with your lips natural chemistry to revitalise your lips for a sheer wash of colour that’s perfect for you. Each shade is complementary to the wearer and will appear different on everyone. Once applied to the lips, the colour will blossom to reach the precise intensity of the wearer. It’s infused with Vitamin C, Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil to provide extreme moisturize and hydration for softer, more supple lips.

Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Crayon Balm features the same, easy to use, swivel up design as the cheek balm, with a crayon-like barrel that requires no sharpening. It has a lightweight, creamy texture that glides onto the lips with ease. It provides a sheer hint of colour that’s fairly buildable, leaving behind a natural blush of colour and sheen. It’s highly moisturizing and keeps lips hydrated throughout the day. Because of its creamy texture and also because of its sheer colour, it only lasts a few hours on the lips before wanting to reapply.

When you first apply the Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Crayon Balm to your lips, it is so sheer, you don’t even see any colour. It’s pretty much colourless and you may think, what a waste of money. With 5 minutes, as it adjust to your skintone and warms up on the lips, the colour becomes more saturated and intense. It’s still a sheer wash of colour, but it’s totally unique and designed just for you. It comes in 4 new shades, Poppin’ Poppy, Coming up Rosy, Budding Blossom, Flowering Fressia and retails for $19.
