Ok, so I know I'm VERY slow with getting on the Clinique Shubby Stick bandwagon but now I finally am I'm hooked!
Have you ever had that one product that you lusted after every day but just couldn't get yourself to actually buy it for some reason? That was me and the Chubby Sticks. I stopped at my local Clinique counter practically every time to drool over these beauties and swatch away, then I would always just walk away empty handed.
Why you ask? Well, I'd read so many mixed reviews for them that I was reluctant to part with what really is a sizeable amount for a glorified tinted lip balm. So, I dreamed my little dream but never took the plunge to actually purchase one.
Then came Valentine's Day this year. Hubby was awesome enough to go out of his way at lunchtime when he was at work and walk up to a Clinique counter and explain his silly wife's obsession to the sales assistant, all while she swatched away so he could try and choose some shades he could see me wearing. was so impressed because I had no idea of his intentions and I really don't think I have said enough on this blog how much I really do love my hubby :-)
Between the two of them they decided on Two Ton Tomato, a gorgeous sheer red, and Curvy Candy, a lovely sheer flushed pink.
My favourite is definitely Two Ton Tomato and I have been wearing it a lot due to it being just such a lovely, wearable red for everyday.
The Chubby Sticks feel just so moisturising on my lips and amazingly last around 3-4 hours on me without having to be reapplied. They really are a glorified tinted lip balm I'll admit but as far as I'm concerned they can get away with it by being just plain cute and so easy to apply due to the twist up nature of the stick.

I'm very keen to try out a couple more of these now that I finally have some.
What does everyone else think of the Chubby Stick? Am I the only one who still issues a small giggle whenever I say the name of these?
Have a great week!

Hi Michelle! Oh I love my chubby sticks! My mum actually got me into them. I have 2 at the moment; one is a pink and one is two ton tomato! I haven't used the two ton tomato; I actually thought it looks very red but it doesn't now that I have seen you swatch it (it was given to me so I never swatched it before). I love my chubby sticks! I would definitely buy more when I run out. Might sound strange but I actually love the smell of it lol xx
ReplyDeleteYes, how good are they! I'm kicking myself that I took so long to finally get some. There's a couple of other shades I'm definitely eyeing off now.....
