Clinique Chubby Stick

clinique chubby stick in woppin' watermelon

I was fortunate to be one of the very first to purchase the Clinique Chubby Stick at Rustan’s Makati. It’s just sad that we only have 4 out of the 8 shades. I’ve been waiting for this to arrive on our shores for quite some time now so I didn’t think twice when the Clinique ladies told me that it just arrived that same day when I visited their counter.

This shade is Woppin’Watermelon. It’s a nice bright pink shade. When I say bright, I don’t mean like neon or barbie pink. I mean happy pink, if there is such a term. I associate this shade of pink with being happy, so sue me. = )

It looks like this on me:

So what’s the verdict? I’ve been using it for 3 weeks now and it has been my go-to lippie especially on days when I’m too busy to be creative. It goes well with almost all my eye looks. It’s especially nice with neutrals.

Staying power is so-so. What makes this product a winner is that you don’t have to apply lip balm anymore. It’s a lip balm + lipstick in one. It doesn’t dry out my lips. It doesn’t have an annoying taste or smell. It’s perfect for girls on the go and the retractable tip allows you to forget about a sharpener.

I love this product so much that I decided to make these as my raffle gifts to my guests during my birthday party.  I think this will especially be beneficial during the summer months. I’m taking this to my trip so that I can save on space. I don’t need to bring a lip balm anymore and as I’ve said, it suits all my neutral looks.

The Chubby Stick costs Php920 at your favorite Clinique counter.

    Ooohhh... cause of the name "Chubby Stick" I thought it was gonna be a plumper! :)) Now I get it, it's cause it's big!

    It looks nice! Is it opaque?

    that's it! A crayon! That's what attracted me to this lippie in the first place! I have an obsession with crayons...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
