Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm review

I love the Clinique Chubby Sticks. Who doesn't love the Clinique Chubby Sticks? They're so simple to use and they work great. This is why I've been wanting to get my hands on today's product for a while, but as usual, hadn't gotten around to it yet (there's too many things on the list, that's why!). But now I have. Woohoo!

The Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm is a cream blush in the traditional Chubby Stick packaging. Clinique claim that it is an oil-free, creamy, mistake-proof blush that creates a healthy looking glow on the skin.

It comes in a range of four shades, but the one that I have to show you today is 03 Roly Posy Rosy which is described as a tawny/coral colour.

It comes packaged in the same type of packaging as the rest of the Chubby Stick range; a chubby pen type of packaging that is made of plastic the same colour as the product inside. It has a twisty bottom to push the product up when you need more and it also has a plastic cap to cover it.

Application and Results:

To use, you need to dot onto the cheeks and blend up towards the hairline. You can use your fingers, a brush or a sponge, each of them work just as well. You can also layer it up for a more intense colour payoff.

I'll cut straight to it - this blush is really easy to apply, and it is difficult to apply it badly. It blends easily so it doesn't take a lot of time to finish the look, and once on it looks like a natural flush of colour on the cheeks.

The formula is a dream. It's sheer, but can be built up, so it's rather flexible. If you want a sheer flush, you can get that. If you want more depth, you can add more layers. It can fit into whatever style you choose.

I personally prefer my blush to be more on the sheerer side, so here is one layer blended out on me:

But here is a couple of layers blended on my hand:

This blush also has good wear time. For me it lasts throughout the day from start to finish, so no top ups required! Always a bonus.

I'm a huge fan of the Chubby Sticks Lip Balms and the Cheek Colour Balm is up there with it. If you love cream blush then I highly recommend trying this one out. It's simplicity is more of the icing on the cake as the formula is the real winner with this, but the mistake-proof element is a great plus.

You can purchase the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm from Look Fantastic.
