Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm in 03 roly poly rosy

I've featured this Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm in my What's in My Makeup Bag Travel Edition: Japan, here, and in my March 2016 Favorites, here, a few months ago. I've been curious about this product but haven't had the chance to try it until my cousin gave me hers because she said that it didn't go well with her oily skin type.

This cream blush is in a cute twist up-type tube, similar to a lipstick, that actually makes it fun and easier to apply. The packaging is very sturdy but it can be a bit bulky in my makeup bag at times. This costs $23 at the Sephora site for 6g of product.

This blush is creamy and very easy to blend into your cheeks. I apply this by either directly swiping the tube on my cheeks or by swirling my finger on the blush. I love that it gives a fresh, after gym kind of pink flush on the cheeks.

I use this on my bare face most of the time. My cheeks can get a bit oily as the day goes but this still lasts about 5 to 6 hours on me, depending on the weather or on my activities for the day. I think this would last so much better if you use a primer, base or foundation on your face. But for the purposes of testing its longevity, I used this on its own and since I often wear it that way anyway.

Here are the swatches of this cream blush:

This is a really good product to have because it's very convenient to use and to tote around in your bag. It's very travel friendly since it's fuss-free to use as you don't even need a brush to apply it. So it's also very ideal for when you're on-the-go or always in a rush.

This cream blush stick is also perfect if you're going for a natural look or when you just want a pop of color on your face. Just take note that this product might not work with really oily skin types. I get slightly oily cheeks as the day goes by but this still worked for me even on its own. If you're a fan of Clinique, into cream blushes or just looking for a new one to try, then this is something good to consider! 😊

Clinique

Clinique Long Lasting Lipstick in Watermelon

I've had this lipstick for quite some time now so this post is a little bit overdue already haha! But I still wanted to share my thoughts about this lipstick so let's get into the review! 😊

The tube of this lipstick is still the classic old packaging of Clinique. It's very simple but feminine and elegant at the same time. The only problem with the tube is that the cap doesn't really close tightly so you have to make sure to press it hard when you put it back on.

This is a very pretty berry pink shade of lipstick. It looks very bright but it's actually kind of subtle. It's great for everyday wear when you want a pop of color that's not too intimidating. This lipstick has a satin finish to it. It doesn't last very long on the lips especially after eating or drinking. However, it leaves a stain as it wears off which is quite nice.

It has a very faint scent to it but it's not that detectable unless you really get close and sniff it directly from the tube. The quality of this lipstick is very great as it goes on smoothly and is really creamy.

I purchased this Clinique lipstick at the Bourjois store at Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong. I got this for a very very cheap price considering that it's from Clinique. I think I only purchased this for around P100. Such a steal!

But although I really loved the quality of this lipstick, and even though the shade is really pretty, I found that it didn't really suit my skin tone so I eventually gave this to my mom. It was the only shade available at their store at that time so I really had no other choice haha. Apart from that, it's still a great buy but I hope they'd carry more shades from this line in the future. 😊
