Just like the Nuxe multipurpose oil, Kerastase hair mask, Korres lip butter, Nuxe lip balm, L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate – Clinique is a never ending well of my personal, years long beauty wishes. Lip crayons might not be everyone's cup of tea, maybe you do see them as just regular lippies in crayon form but for me, the Chubby Stick range in general is something that makes me feel excited about make-up time and time again. It's a darn shame that eye sticks, blush sticks and even highlight/contour sticks the brand has recently introduced aren't available where I live. I was more than ecstatic to see the intense version for lips on our shelves a few months back – I almost cried out of joy! I just love Clinique lippies and cannot get enough of them. The first time I had treated myself with Clinique Chubby Stick in Pudgy Peony and it's still one of my favorite lip products in general. You can only imagine how excited I was when I received the exact product I was browsing a few weeks prior and in the exact same shade I wanted to purchase. Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Roomiest Rose 06 (3g cost approx $16) is an absolute stunner and while the regular Chubby Stick was prevalently a lip balm with a hint of tint – the Chubby Stick Intense however is more of a lipstick with hydrating benefits.
Bas kao sto su mi ogromne, dugogodisnje zelje bili Nuxe multifunkcionalno ulje, Kerastase maske za kosu, Korres butteri za usne, Nuxe balzam za usne, L'Occitane Badem mlijecni koncentrat – tako i Clinique predstavlja mali bunar beauty zelja i zeljica koje su redovni gosti u mojim wish listama. Ruzevi u formi debeljuskastih olovaka za usne mozda nekoj od vas nisu interesantni, mozda ih promatrate kao i svaki drugi ruz za usne ali za mene – Clinique Chubby Stick ruzevi iznova i iznova obnavljaju ljubav koju osjecam spram kozmetike. Mnogo zalim sto u BiH nisu na trzistu dostupne sjene, rumenila i od nedavno debeljuce kao sredstva za konturiranje i iluminiranje koze. Situacija po pitanju dostupnosti nije idealna a vjerujem da postoji jos potencijalnih kupaca koji su, poput mene, sigurno bili vise nego odusevljeni cinjenicom da smo napokon (iako tek od nedavno) na policama drogerija ugledali Intense verziju planetarno popularnih bucki. Veliki sam ljubitelj ovih kozmetickih proizvoda i otprilike u ovo doba prosle godine sam se pocastila sa Clinique Chubby Stick balzamom u nijansi Pudgy Peony. Uopste nisam pozalila kupovinu, naprotiv – ovo je jos uvijek jedna od meni najdrazih stvari koje koristim na usnama. Mozete onda samo zamisliti koliko sam se istinski obradovala kada sam shvatila da mi se u rukama nalazi vlastiti primjerak Intense debeljuce koju sam par sedmica ranije gledala, swatchala i razmisljala o kupovini upravo nijanse koja mi je stigla na adresu! Clinique Chubby Stick Intense u nijansi Roomiest Rose 06 (3g kosta cca 45KM) je predivna stvar koja je jako usrecila moje srce. I ako je regularni Chubby Stick bio balzam u boji – Intense verzija je ipak ruz za usne sa odlicnim hidratantnim svojstvima.
Loaded with mango and Shea butter so that lips feel comfortably soft and smooth, eight vibrant shades in a cute and practical crayon packaging make these candy-like beauties extremely desirable. Roomiest Rose 06 is described as a watermelon rose. I'd call it a darkened rose/red with a muted plummy quality and subtle warm undertones. Do ignore the subtle micro shimmer – it doesn't show up on lips. This altogether makes this shade quite neutral or rather adaptive to the wearer's skin tone. It's a true chameleon and suitable for a year-round wear as well. I was quite positively surprised that this shade in particular provided a full color coverage – although the brand promises a medium intensity and pigmentation. It's anything but mediocre – especially if you have in mind that it's a tinted lip balm extension! I would honestly describe it as a pleasant to wear, hydrating lipstick. The texture is creamy and waxy at the same time which makes the lipstick glide smoothly but it isn't thick or heavy and it clings to the skin very well. Bleeding into fine lines is absent. Pigmentation, intensity – they are strong from the crayon but can be furthermore intensified with a second layer. Longevity is amazing for such a product – mininally 4h on me! I sometimes get 5h-6h wear but 4h is guaranteed. I think it's perfect as it's not too warm, not too cool-toned and it's not too bright or too muted. I'm extremely interested in shades Grandest Grape and Mightiest Maraschino for a bold lip but for a nude lip the Curviest Caramel seems to be ideal. Have you tried the Intense Chubby Sticks? Are you impressed by the pigmentation and longevity as much as I am?
Obogacena mangom i karite butterom kako bi usne bile njegovane, mekane i glatke, osam pigmentiranih nijansi u simpaticnom i prakticnom pakovanju cini ove ruzeve neodoljivim dodatkom u neseseru svakog sminkoljupca. Roomiest Rose 06 je nijansa opisana kao lubenica-ruzicasta boja. Licno je dozivljavam kao srednje tamnu ruzicasto/crvenkastu nijansu uz sljivaste primjese te samo prstohvat toplog podtona. Slobodno ignorisite suptilni mikro shimmer – uopste nije vidljiv na usnama. Sve skupa cini ovu nijansu prilicno neutralnom i cak dosta prilagodljivom tenu osobe koja je nosi. Istinski je kameleon koji je prigodan za nosenje tokom cijele godine – moze se reci da je bezvremenska nijansa. Izuzetno sam bila iznenadjena intenzitetom i pigmentacijom konkretno ove nijanse – iako brend obecava umjerenu pigmentaciju, ona je sve osim osrednja. Pogotovo ako imamo na umu da se radi o produzetku linije balzama za usne u boji. Zaista Intense debeljucu ne mogu svrstati u tu kategoriju i za mene je ovo hidratantni ruz za usne. Tekstura je istovremeno kremasta i pomalo voskasta sto cini da se ruz lijepo nanosi no nije previse gust niti tezak a lijepo prijanja uz kozu usana. Nisam primjetila da se boja razlijevala izvan ruba usana. Pigmentacija je prilicno impresivna pri samo jednom sloju no moguce je dodatno intenzivirati drugim nanosenjem. Trajnost je stvarno odlicna za ovu vrstu proizvoda – uvijek, bez greske ga iznesem barem 4h sata! Nekada izdrzi na usnama 5h, nekada 6h – ali osnovica od 4h nije upitna. Mislim da je ovaj ruz/balzam savrsen posto nije previse toplog ali niti isuvise hladnog podtona, nije preupadljiva nijansa ali nije ni dosadna. Zainteresovana sam jos za nijanse Grandest Grape i Mightiest Maraschino no mislim da bi i Curviest Caramel bila savrsena nudasta opcija. Da li ste imale priliku isprobati Clinique Chubby Stick Intense verziju? Kako vam se cine pigmentacija i trajnost?
