In the most outrageous flirtation with alliteration that I’ve witnessed since I submitted my year 10 English coursework, Clinique have released a new line of Chubby Sticks, and this time… they’re intense. Chubby Chunkiest Chili (oh, come on!) is one of 8 new shades to feature in the lineup of pigment-packed lip colours and it looks something like this…
You should know by now that while I feel there’s a time and a place for sheerer lip coverings, my heart lies with lip products that deliver COLOUR aswell as polish. Well, I’m pleased to report that Chunkiest Chili does indeed deliver a bold brick-toned red to my unpigmented pout whilst managing to retain most of the glossy, slightly balmy finish of the original Chubby Sticks.
You’ve got to love a lip stick that doesn’t need sharpening… twist up, twist down. No compromise on usability.
The swatch looks promising…
Ta-da! Proper colour! From a Chubby Stick! *listens for angels* Seriously though, if you’re a big fan of the Chubby Stick formula, ease-of-use… whatever but feel that they’ve been too sheer and balmy for you *puts hands up*, this is your answer, right here.
Clinique Chubby Stick Intense is available in 8 shades: Curviest Caramel, Chunkiest Chili, Heftiest Hibiscus, Mightiest Maraschino, Plushest Punch, Roomiest Rose, Broadest Berry, and Grandest Grape priced at £16 each.
The only problem is, you’re gonna have to wait until mid-November to get your hands on them! Cool those heels ladies!

I have a few of these in the original formula and really love them, but only for day wear. So I am super excited about this new line, especially in time for the Christmas party season!! But we have to wait a WHOLE MONTH????? *sigh*
Oh you big tease!
I shall be keeping my eye out for these though 🙂
Heftiest Hibiscus!? Oh dear! More clinique minis are gonna apear in my house from bonus times now!
Nice work on the bonus times! They do those really well, wish other brands would take note!
great colour, I’ll definitely be getting the dubiously titled roomiest rose
this is what the chubby sticks should have looked like in the first place and this is the pigmentation i would expect really 🙂 this reminds me of the bourjois intense eyeshadows. i know the original eyshadows are baked and you can use them wet yaddi yadda but when you see the intense eyeshadows you wonder why bothering the normal ones. I quite like the sound of these and i hope they are not minty! xx

That color looks so good on you! I don’t like super pigmented lip products, but sheer lip products make me think “what’s the point?” However, that Chubby Stick looks juuuust right.
Clinique in the USA is telling me March 2013 because of some delay here.
