They Say, We Say - Clinique Chubby Sticks

They Say:

"Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen. Apply directly to lips. For subtle definition outline lips first, then fill in with natural-looking colour. Never needs sharpening: simply swivel up to reveal more lip colour balm."

We Say:

"When a large pencil-shaped lip balm labelled 'Oversized Orange' landed on our desk for testing, we were a bit dubious. Didn't orange lip colour belong in the 80s? We were wrong to doubt. This is a lovely, lovely product. The novelty value of a large Crayola-like lip balm is a talking point in itself, it's a lot more hygienic than the usual 'stick your finger in the pot' lip balm, and it gives a lovely, light wearing gloss with a gentle apricot sheen that is a lot more wearable than it sounds. An absolute star product. We love it.
