There's something new on the block for us Chubby Stick lovers, Clinique Chubby Stick Intense. A richer, more pigmented formula that has been gracing my lips for the majority of this week and so far so good! 

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Grandest Grape
Compared to the original Chubby Sticks the formula provides a much more glossy, pigmented finish and it's easy to achieve a full coverage look, whereas the original were more of a tint. They've added a couple extra ingredients in there, like shea butter and jojoba seed oil for that extra kick of nourishment. After being out and about in the cold I was pleasantly surprised to not return home to dry and crusty lips, they were still in soft condition!

On the lips the formula feels much lighter than a lipstick, which makes them easier to wear, especially when wearing a heavily pigmented colour. During my first venture into the dark lip zone I was pleasantly surprised to see minimal fading on my lips, despite drinking and eating (with caution) giving them fantastic lasting power too. I would've loved to have seen the colours from the original Chubby Stick collection like Woppin' Watermelon and Mighty Mimosa available in the Intense range but overall a big thumbs up from me!

Wearing Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Grandest Grape

I've been pairing this lippy with a light base combination of Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion and By Terry Touche Veloutee followed by a lot of mascara for something quick and effortless.

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense are available in 8 shades and the shade I've been wearing is Grandest Grape. They are £16 and will be available from November. 

Will you be trying out Clinique Chubby Stick Intense?
