Like BB Creams, it seems that every line has gotten into the chubby lip balm but ain’t complaining! CLINIQUE’s Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm ($17 @ clinique.com and sephora.com) are big on moisture (Shea and mango butter) and have a better color payoff then most of these thick balms with color that I’ve tried. 

I just tried some from a pretty well-known brand just last week and I had to swipe it across my lips about 5 times to get some color on them! So what you see in the tube isn’t always what you’ll see on your lips, except in this case.

I took pictures from every angle to give you the best view of each of the 3 colors I tried.

From L to R: Curviest Caramel (nude with a touch of rose), Mightiest Maraschino (berry red), Heftiest Hibiscus (coral)
