"The Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms are sold worldwide and each country has a favorite. Here in the US it's Super Strawberry, in the UK it's Woppin' Watermelon and in Russia, Whole Lotta Honey" Chubby Stick comes in a variety colors: Woppin' Watermelon, Pudgy Peony, Whole Lotta' Honey, Mega Melon, Fuller Fig, Richer Raisin, Graped-Up, Super Strawberry, Chunky Cherry, Heaping Hazelnut, Bountiful Blush, Two Ton Tomato, Oversized Orange, Mighty Mimosa, Curvy Candy, and Voluptuous Violet. The funky names all use an alliteration of words that are synonyms to "big", hence the larger size of the lip crayon. The large size and sheer color of the stick makes the product easy to apply on-the-go, even without a mirror.
Clinique did a job well done coming out with a product that is for everyone. Because it is a three-in-one product, the cubby stick is well rounded making it more likely to suffice to anyone who purchases one. If lipsticks dry out a woman's lips, she could use Chubby Stick allowing her to apply the color she desires without the drying and clumping affects of lipstick. According to the reviews on Clinque.com 93% of clients are pleased with the product.
"I have several chubby sticks and I love them. Perfect on those days when I don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup. Pudgy Peony is my favorite, adds a pop of color that is not too heavy!" says a customer in her review on her experience with Chubby Stick.
The customers who were not pleased with the product, felt that, "The color doesn't stay on long and barely shows up." So maybe Chubby Stick isn't for everyone; however, it wasn't made to have a heavy color pigment.
Like any product, Chubby Stick has its competitors. Brands like Neutrogena, Covergirl, E.L.F., Revlon, and Sally Hansen, have their own verisons of a “Chubby Stick.” The biggest competition for Clinique is price. Being a luxury product, Clinique has a much higher price point than its competitor's brands which are available through lower cost retailers (i.e. Walmart, Target, Walgreens.)
CLINIQUE Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm, $16.
NEUTROGENA MoistureSmooth Color Stick, $6.49.
E.L.F. Essential Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick, $2.
REVLON Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain, prices vary.
SALLY HANSEN Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm, prices vary
I personally own the Pink Peony Chubby Stick, and love it as much as the other's who've reviewed. I am curious to try other brands and compare it to - the one and only - Chubby Stick. It will be interesting to see how Clinique holds up to it's lower cost competition. "Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Eight mouth watering lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen." Personally, regardless of the brand, I would recommend a Chubby Stick for any woman's makeup kit or purse!
