Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm

 

How obsessed am I with Clinique's new Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm? All eight shades have taken up permanent residency in the makeup bag I keep in my purse. These clever crayons (think of them as perfect hybrid of a lipstick and a gloss) moisturize with mango and shea butters while adding a hint of color and subtle sheen. Plus they never need a sharpener because they swivel up from the bottom - like a traditional balm.

Each of the shades is so ultra-flattering that you could buy any one of them - sight unseen - and it would look absolutely perfect on your pucker.

From left to right: Graped-Up, Super Strawberry, Woppin' Watermelon, Chunky Cherry,
Mega Melon, Fuller Fig, Whole Lotta Honey, Richer Raisin

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balms are available at Sephora, Clinique counters and clinique.com.

The Balm Cosmetics Company Gives Back

One of our favorite MakeUp Artists, Lauren Luke, best known by her YouTube handle, Panacea81, loves her cute little pugs and has brought awareness to this breed by including them in many of her makeup tutorial videos.


But Lauren is not the only makeup lover who adores little Pugs. The Balm cosmetics company has a campaign called "the Balm to the Rescue."

Their lip balm treatment is formulated with all vegan ingredients - absolutely no animal byproducts. We think it's a good find because it includes "micro-exfoliating crystals" that help de-funk your lips to keep them looking healthy, smooth and natural and to prep your lips for flawless lipstick application.


The balm comes in an oversize 0.25 oz (7.08 grams)container, and the company is donating a generous 100% of the proceeds from its sale (retail price $16 USD) to Pug Rescue in Sacramento. 

This organization helps restore a life of happiness and goodness to pugs who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned, and they prevent the animals from being euthanized. 


At press time, the Balm was sold out of this product, but keep an eye out for it, and in the meantime, visit www.PugPros.org to learn more about how you can help. And, in the words of the Balm: "Kindness is not breed specific. For other rescue groups or shelters, please search online in your area."
