I reviewed the regular Clinique Chubby Sticks a while ago (Clinique Chubby Stick Review) and I quite like those. However, I am LOVING the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense.
The Clinique Chubby Stick Intense is available in 8 colors:

Surprise surprise. After swatching all 10 colors at the Clinique counter and after a very very long deliberation, I bought the nude-ish color (01 Curviest Caramel) and the orangey color (04 Heftiest Hibiscus).
On the left: 01 Curviest Caramel. On the right: 04 Heftiest Hibiscus.
01 Curviest Caramel is a brownish dusky rosy nude and 04 Heftiest Hibiscus is a orange-tone red.
Clinique describes the Chubby Stick Intense as "a soft cushion of color that's not quite sheer, not quite opaque- just the perfect happy medium" (source). However, I think that the Chubby Stick Intense are indeed opaque and pigmented, with just a hint of translucency. Unlike the regular Chubby Sticks that give out a hint of color, the Chubby Stick Intense have color payoff that is true to what you see.
In terms of formula, I find it (strangely) to be much more moisturizing than the regular chubby stick. The formula is very creamy and smooth so it glides onto the lips very evenly without emphasizing lip lines or dryness. The texture is not too heavy and it feels very comfortable on the lips. When I wear the regular Chubby Sticks, my lips tend to feel dehydrated after a few hours but I don't experience that with the Chubby Stick Intense. In addition, the slightly glossy look made my lips look nice and plumped up.
The Chubby Stick Intense is a twist-up crayon/ jumbo pencil so it is less fussy and doesn't cause product wastage since it doesn't require any sharpening. Another thing, the Chubby Stick Intense has no obvious scent.
The Chubby Stick Intense also have better lasting power than the regular formula. These last about 4 hours on me (without eating but with occasional drinks), which is what I typically get with a more opaque/ creamy lipstick formula.
On my lips: 01 Curviest Caramel Chubby Stick Intense.
On my lips: 04 Heftiest Hibiscus Chubby Stick Intense.
My recent favorite lip look: 01 Curviest Caramel Chubby Stick Intense all over the lips, with 04 Heftiest Hibiscus Chubby Stick Intense applied in the middle portion of the lips and blended out.

the curviest caramel look so pretty, loving the shade and both colors look great on you ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the combo look you've created! Great way to get the most out of both colors by blending them together! It's not too simple, yet not too dramatic! I think I should go get me these colors and try that out for myself too!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Curviest Caramel and Heftiest Hibiscus are such pretty colors!
ReplyDeletethey look really nice on you <3 the caramel one is sooo perfect for everyday use
ReplyDeleteI have Heftiest Hibiscus as well, but it looks a lot more orange on me! Maybe it's the lighting? Either way, I love that shade :-)

ReplyDeleteHeftiest Hibiscus is gorgeous on you! I've been eyeing Curviest Caramel for a long time but I resisted when I saw them at Changi Airport while flying to Milan. The formula sounds amazing on these :)
ReplyDeleteI like the hibiscus best. These sticks look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the chubby sticks <3 The second color looks really pretty! Both colors suit you well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I want to get more :P I am eyeing Chinkiest Chili and Mightiest Maraschino.
ReplyDeleteThe intense ones have a great texture!!! Yummy names too :D
ReplyDeleteWhen a product is good then it is always a good thing ^-^
ReplyDeleteI prefer the formula of these to the regular chubby sticks!! I wish Clinique will expand the color range~
ReplyDeleteThank you~
ReplyDeleteIt's really good, definitely one worth getting.
ReplyDeleteOn me it looks more orangey red. Maybe it's the lighting or skin tone? :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! Curviest Caramel is permanently in my everyday makeup bag.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are really pretty. I hope you get a chance to try them. P/s I love mixing lip colors. It's so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color 01 on you! I had no idea clinique came out with a cubby stick intense. I've been interested in their original chubby sticks, but just never had the chance to test them out at the department store yet lol. sounds like i am probably more interested in their 'intense' ones now since you mentioned they are more pigmented which i like! thanks for the review liz~ keep in touch :D

I wasn't too sold on the original chubby sticks, but these new intense ones sound really good! Heftiest Hibiscus is a definite winner, it looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeletei'm obsessed with lip crayons!
ReplyDeleteThese sticks are adorable! They remind me a lot of the covergirl sticks! I really love both colors on you, but the curviest camel on you! ((that is such an interesting name!)
