THE VERDICT:

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense: Hey! I'm INTENSE!
Me: No way. You're kidding me. You're a lip balm.
Clinique: Oh yeah? Try me, sistah.
Me: *applies Chubby Stick on lips
Me: SWEET JESUS.

I guess that pretty much sums up my experience with this product, but I'm going to provide an in-depth review anyway because that's just me-I love talking here on my blog. :)

We're all aware that the classic Chubby Stick will always remain as Clinique's best- seller, but I do believe that this baby equally deserves that title too! This fab product perfectly marries lipstick, lip balm, and lip treatment! Sorry, classic Chubby Stick, this is now my favorite. :)

Chubby Stick Intense pretty much has the same ingredients of its older sister (Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, and Mango Seed Butter), but the difference is the former is overdosed with pigmentation. It comes in 8 shades.

The packaging brings to mind my favorite chubby crayons by Crayola. In grade school, you're the coolest kid if you have these fat crayons, or the 68-piece crayon collection. Right? :D

Looking for a very, very, very moisturizing and very, very, very pigmented lip product mashed into a single, convenient packaging? Look no further and click READ MORE! :D

Admittedly, I didn't expect that its pigmentation would be THIS good because I've had a couple of the same product (others even came from premium brands) and they were just so-so in this department. The first time I've used Chubby Stick, I'm already a believer! Texture is very emollient (literally like Shea Butter) and feels super soft, smooth, and nice, and it just banishes dry areas almost instantly. Finish is almost comparable to a Satin lipstick. Maybe some of you would contend and say that pigmentation is just okay, but for a lip balm, it is superbly pigmented already. It has this yummy sweet smell. My minor issue is, the tip of the actual product is a lil' too wide and big for me to line my lips properly-I'd always have to clean up the corners of my lips after application.

Mightiest Maraschino is a cherry red shade with a hint of pink-It's a summery and laid- back kind of red. It's super rich yet such a breeze to wear, and it also has some line- concealing effect. Staying power is so-so since finish is emollient: It stays for around 2 hours if untouched and fades and bleeds for a little after a meal and few sips of coffee, albeit gradually. It transfers heavily too since it doesn't really set onto the lips and has a slippery finish. Also, if used consistently, it really helps alleviate dryness.

There are days when I want to wear lipstick, but my lips are not cooperating. In these moments, I always reach for Chubby Stick Intense because it gives me what I want without having to sacrifice anything. (Hello dry, irritating lips!) That said, I love how it allows me to be the boss sometimes! :D

In case you're wondering how it compares to Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain, here's a quick low-down:

Chubby Stick Intense: Moisturizing; Satin Finish; Pigmented; Good for casual or special events
Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain: Hydrating; Glossy Finish; Sheer; Good for casual events

 I used this product in Sydney's 12-degree temperature and found out that it's very good for cold, dry conditions where traditional lipstick would just feel even more drying and regular lip balm won't suffice. I reckon it's good for everyone, generally, because it's such a soothing, protective product that takes care of our lips continuously as we go about our busy, daily lives.
