I have a weakness for fatty pencils. Be they for the lips or the eyes, I’m attracted to them because their shape makes application that much easier. Better yet if they’re retractable – bye bye fiddly sharpeners! ;)
Of late, I’ve been using Clinique Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry (S$26). A tinted lip balm that surprisingly lasts, this product does as it promises – it gives me luscious-looking lips while keeping them soft.
On its own, it’s a cheerful shade of strawberry pink (lighter than it looks in the tube) which can build up to a semi-medium rose. It is essentially a cool-toned shade and can cool warmer lip hues to a certain extent. It doesn’t have depth of colour, so it certainly won’t overly-dilute your other lip colours.
Some people have found the Chubby Sticks drying but I’ve also friends who love them. Like the latter, I am fond of their moisturising feel – thank you, mango butter and shea butter – and I like it best as a moisturising base for other lipsticks.
I particularly love it with a blackened berry like Urban Decay Lipstick in Confession.
It works to tone down the darkness and gives me a pretty and wearable mauve hue which I love!
I love the last pic!!! The equation is so cute! This is Makeup Math Version 2.0!
Hey Kas,
Yes, lipstick logic. ;)
The Chubby Stick looks very nice ine the swatch. It also seems to have a little shine, how loveky :)
So it wont need a lipgloss :)? also would you say it feels sticky on the lips :)?
can’t believe how dark the UD Lipstick on it’s own is!
btw nice colour choice :D
Hi Moni,
Thank you~!
It does have shine but it isn’t super glossy. It doesn’t feel sticky at all. :)
Great combination! My Chubby Stick is about a third of the way through – not bad for almost a year!
Hey Sam,
That’s great! These are so good to have. :)
Love the colours and the makeup math!
Hey Jamilla,
Hehe! It goes beautifully with deeper shades! :)
this is in the year 2014 but I’d like to ask where to find this product as I’m a begginer and a fellow Singaporean who doesn’t know where to get this!>< haha you may not see this but um I guess I'd like to try my luck…teehee
Hi Audrey,
I really have no idea, sorry!
