Clinique Chubby Stick in Heaping Hazlenut

 I have been lemming over these Clinique Chubby Sticks after seeing them in Glamour magazine months ago. I was not aware that Ulta carried Clinique but when I was checking out last week I seen a sign for these and that they were only $17. Only $17, man I have come a long way. There was a day where I felt anything over $3 was overpriced for makeup. Anyway, I decided to try one. They have a nice array of colors and of course guess which color I pick. NUDE!! My husband gets so frustrated when I show him a new lip product, tell him how much it cost and then show him it applied because to him it looks like plain lips. I can't expect him to understand. I am truly addicted to nude lips!! Have been for years and it does not appear the addiction will be cured anytime soon!

 Chubby Sticks come in 16 colors. Here is the description from the Clinique website.
Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.

 

    I found the Chubby Stick to be super moisturizing and it felt very nice on the lips. Really smooth, almost like a gel formula. The feeling of it on my lips reminded me a bit of the Maybelline Color Whispers but the moisturizing aspect reminded me of a Tarte Lipsurgence.

The one thing I did not care for was the fragrance/flavoring of the Chubby stick, It basically had none and the only fragrance/flavoring I got was sort that of a really plain lip balm.

 I found the color "Heaping Hazlenut" to be a gorgeous nude color. It basically is a really light "my lips but better" color.

Overall I liked Clinique Chubby Stick. I wish they had a bit of flavor or fragrance but otherwise the formula was fantastic. It moisturized my lips and came them a perfect nude sheen!

Clinique High Impact Mascara

What is it? A richly pigmented mascara that kicks up the volume of each individual lash.
How much is it? $16
Where to buy it? Sephora ,Ulta, Clinique, Nordstroms or wherever Clinique products are sold

                            

What is it supposed to do? Add instant drama, volume, length and make lashes look lusher, plusher and bolder.

 What does it ACTUALLY do? It did add instant drama, volume and length in my opinion. It coated the lashes quite well and the mascara color was quite dark which I like. It made my lashes look really long and was not very clumpy or thick after three coats.

Three coats of Clinique High Impact Mascara

Overall thoughts?  This mascara lived up to it's claims and them some. It made my lashes look super long. There was almost no clumping and I really liked the formula. The price is a bit high for me to purchase on a regular basis. Had it been a lengthening and thickening formula it may have been my new favorite mascara. I bought this mascara knowing it was lengthening but prefer a bit more thickness in my mascara normally. Overall I am pleased with this mascara, I think that it trumps Sonia Kashuk Lashify which I have been using ( which is also a lengthening mascara) but because of the price I would probably stick with Lashify for the time being.

Have you tried Clinique High Impact mascara? If so what did you think? Can you recommend a good lengthening  and thickening mascara for me??
