Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm (Rs 1850 for 6g) available at Clinique Stores
Clinique launched Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm and the concept was a huge hit. Lots of brands followed their foot steps and came up with their versions of crayon lip pencils. Last year brand came up with Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes. This year Clinique has takes a step forward and introduced Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm. These are again Jumbo crayons with a retractable packaging. The tip is round and these crayons are fatter (double quantity) than the lip crayons.
Shade – There were 4 shades available and I picked Roly Poly Rosy, which is a beautiful plum pink shade. For my complexion plum, berry & mauve work really well. This shade would suit fair to medium complexion really well.Texture & Formula – I am not much of a Cream Blush lover. I find them difficult to apply and quite messy, but then a cream blush looks more natural than powder blush. As directed I dab Cheek Colour Balm directly on my cheeks and blend using finger tips. One can also use a tippling brush. Formula is very creamy and texture is very smooth. It definitely looks very beautiful and natural on me. I can see some shimmers in the crayon but I can’t spot them once the blush is applied and blended on cheeks. It gives a dewy look. you can powder it to take the shine away, however I leave it like that only. Pigmentation – Roly Poly Rosy is quite pigmented but since the formula is creamy , it is quite easy to sheer out. I apply it generously and it blends well without getting patchy.
Staying Power – Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm stays on for 5 hours on me. I would have appreciated a better staying power though.
Overall Thoughts
Those who love natural looking blushes would love Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm. Roly Poly Rosy is a beautiful everyday color and looks absolutely beautiful. It is quite pigmented and has a slight dewy finish. Only downside is the staying power which is 5 hours max.

Clinique has done well with makeup in recent times the only disappointing point is the price which they keep almost double than in US 🙁
