BEAUTY REVIEW: CLINIQUE CHUBBY STICK LIP BALM AND ALL ABOUT SHADOW
Let's just state the obvious - this is the most fresh, feminine and seasonal beauty look I've ever created. A combination of sweet pink lips and soft green lids make this look perfect for spring.
Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Colour Balm (14 Curvy Candy) - There doesn't seem to be one bad review about Clinique's Chubby Stick range. In fact, all the feedback I've heard raves on and on about how fabulous this product is, so I had to know what all the fuss was about. And now I understand. One can not fault the Chubby Stick's super creamy and buttery texture, which glides on effortlessly. The colour is sheer and smooth, perfect for everyday wear. I also love that it isn't super glossy, with just the right amount of sheen without looking like you're in Grade 8 again. My lips feel much softer as well - I swear I can feel the mango and shea butter working their magic. The Clinique Chubby Stick hasn't left my handbag since, it's that good.
Clinique All About Shadow Duo (08 Wave After Wave) - At first glance, I thought this palette was made up of grey's. However, once applying it I realised that it was more of a soft green. I'll be honest, I sway more towards warm gold and brown palettes, so I wasn't quite sure how this Shadow Duo was going to look. I'm very glad that I kept an open mind though, as the palette exceeded my expectations. I don't think there could be a fresher due of shades, perfectly suited to this beautiful spring weather. The colour wasn't super intense, which meant I could easily build it up or keep it natural. It applied and blended without any effort too (I used the Clinique All About Primer For Eyes as a base), thanks to its silky texture. A special mention goes out to the fabulous mini applicator, which is included with the palette. I didn't even reach for my full sized brushes.
Yes, you're correct, I am officially in-love with Clinique beauty products! So far, I can not fault any of their products, and they'll all be going into my everyday beauty bag.
