Clinique Chubby Stick Intense for Lips: Heftiest Hibiscus


Today I’ll be looking at shade 4 of the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense for Lips line: Heftiest Hibiscus.  Like yesterday’s featured color, this is another one of the great summer colors in the line.

First, the details:  Clinique Chubby Stick Intense for Lips retail for $17 each, and are twist-up, non-sharpen lip products with 0.1 oz each.  They can be found at all major Clinique retailers.  This shade is opaque, and I get 2-3 hours of wear, then a pleasant stain on my lips after eating/drinking.

Heftiest Hibiscus (shade 04) is one of the other bright Chubby Stick Intense shades.  This is the coral of the group, and brings major color.  I had a hard time capturing the orange tones in this shade.  Clinique does bright coral lip shades very well (my go-to coral lipstick is theirs as well), and Heftiest Hibiscus is no exception.





Although this photo is a little blurry, it shows the true stick color a little better:

Bottom line: I love this formula in general but this is one of my favorites. It was a go-to this summer.
