Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Grandest Gold

Grandest Gold ($17) is one of Clinique's new shades of Chubby Sticks for eyes, and it is great for a sheer wash of low-maintenance color.

The Chubby Sticks are a favorite of mine because they are easy to carry around, travel with (I'm travelling with it right now!), and apply. Just swipe on your lids over some primer, blend out with your finger, and you are all set.

This is a pearlescent shimmer with a slightly golden hue. It is very flattering as an allover wash of color, to highlight the brow bone in a subtle way, and can even double as a highlighter on cheeks or the bridge of your nose in a pinch.

This gives the prettiest sheen to skin (and yes, I am translucent, I know). I love wearing it sheer, but you can layer it (just give it a few seconds to set between layers because this is a creamier formula) and build up for more shimmer. These last about 7 hours on my oily lids with primer, but any creasing can be smoothed out with a finger.

There is also a brand new Periwinkle shade that looks fun!

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense: Mighty Maraschino

Clinique Chubby Stick balms are pretty amazing, but the Chubby Stick Intense takes it to a whole other level! 

 The Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm is not exceedingly new to the beauty scene, but I have heard raves about Mighty Maraschino, and being a red lip girl, had to try it! 

 One of the things I love about this product in general is that it is a twist up chubby pencil, making it very easy to define lips, especially with such an intense color.  

 This is described by Clinique as a "true classic red" and it falls, for me, on the average-above average range of opacity and honestly, leans a bit hot pink. This is shiny and moisturizing and for $16, you get a product that is good for your lips and hydrates them well. 

 

I love the feeling of this on my lips and the red is easier to wear than more matte versions. You can also dilute the intensity by patting it on with fingertips, and if red doesn't do it for you, the Intense line has 7 other gorgeous shades.

 

 

I reach for my Chubby Stick Intense often and it lasts as long as a gloss would, a few hours, but my lips always feel moisturized after!  Panda Approved. Have you tried any of the Chubby Stick Intense shades yet?
