Great color payoff, awesome packaging, not so great formula.

I like not having to sharpen it, and for not being a real lipstick, it does have great pigmentation. However, I have found that it cant stay put at all! Using a lip liner kind of helps this issue, but its annoying to have to use lipstick tools for a 'non lipstick' to work. continued >>

I have these in a few of the new shades (Mighty Mimosa, Pudgy Peony, and Oversized Orange). I love the texture and packaging. I love two of the three shades I purchased - I will be exchanging Mighty Mimosa as it looked too orangey on my fair olive skin tone. The Oversized Orange was perfect, however, and the Pudgy Peony is a super wearable hot pink. That is probably the best shade. I would like to get Bashful Blush - I tried it on it store and it was the perfect nude on me. Would be great with a smoky eye.

I have been wanting to try the new Chubby Sticks for a few months now so when I saw the new spring colors, I bought Mighty Mimosa. Overall, I think the product is very drying, and I had to layer so much color to get a bright pink that it was uncomfortable & gunky looking. This pink, on me, was very light with just 1-2 strokes. I have medium skin, dark brown hair and eyes. I would probably not buy this color again, but would try some of the darker sticks that might have more impact. This would be a good buy for a very natural look. continued >>

I have these in Chunky Cherry, Fuller Fig and Mucho Melon. I got these after trying and loving one of the Tarte lip stains but feeling remorse over their hefty price tag. These are a comparable and more affordable option. I love that these impart color but don't ever look overdone. I like to keep my makeup fairly minimal but polished during the work day and these accomplish that with ease. I love how easy they are to use, you don't even really need a mirror with them. I'm excited that they have more colors coming out soon. They are quite moisturizing but, as a balm, not extremely long wearing. I'd say they last 2-3 hours on me.

went on smooth, good color payoff for not being a lipstick and imparts a subtle sheen. great for girls who think lipsticks & glosses are too much. this is right in the middle. pretty moisturizing also, you wouldnt need a lip balm underneath this. purchased in mega melon and i love the shade, great for summer! took off 1 star because it goes very fast. continued >>

I have this in Woppin Watermelon, Super Strawberry and Fuller Fig. I suffer from chronically dry lips and these do not cause my lips to crack and peel despite wearing them alone without a lip balm. However, I do not think that they provide bursts of moisture like what Clinique claims but they do not subtract moisture from my lips when I have them on. Comes in a chubby tube which makes it very portable and easy to apply on the go. Good to haves but not necessarily must haves.

If there's one thing I love, it's not having to sharpen a cosmetic item shaped like a pencil.. (I'm the girl that totally scrapes every last bit of eyeshadow out of the corners.. waste not, want not!) That's gotta be my favourite part of this item. When I applied it lightly, it felt a bit off and was very sheer. A bit wet/greasy feeling, not sticky. When applied a bit more heavily, it provided pigmentation to the lips but would "fall" down my lips, slowly but surely.. before I knew it, I had some pretty sultry clown-lips.
The colour is gorgeous, the packaging is neat and basic, the product's consistency was not to my satisfaction however and was not worth the cash, IMHO.
Before purchasing, try sampling it at the counter.. and go about your afternoon, have a hot bevvy (check for how quick it will melt on ya), and so fourth to see how it holds up for you.

I got this in the Strawberry color and i will be returning it. I like the formula, despite the fact that it only lasts about 20 minutes on me, less if I'm drinking hot tea. For me, the issue is the unflattering color. When I was buying it at Sephora, I had a tough time figuring out which color to buy as none of them looked like they would be flattering on my pale, yellow-undertoned, rosacea-prone skin. I settled on the Strawberry, hoping it would give me a glossy, comfortable pop of pink. It looks awful on me. The color clashes with my warm-toned skin and it just looks really cheap. It's a reddish-pink that really brings out my ruddy spots - not good. I'll be steering clear of these until they have a better color selection for warmer-toned skin.

When I firstly saw this lip balm, I was so happy, because in our country we havenīt got brand Tarte and I really wanted to try their Lip surgence.I have color Woppin Watermelon and I think itīs great thing for everyday makeup, because it has creamy balm finish and it just gives you pretty light pink tint.I have very dry lips, so I need moisturizing product and Chubby stick doesnīt make your lips dry.If you like this type of products, itīs good thing for you, if you like more pigmented products, which gives you more color and theyīre longwear, donīt buy Chubby stick!
I usually have this product in my bag, and thatīs perfect choice for me.

I have the chubby stick in the color in Whole Lotta Honey. Its the third picture above. Its a beautiful rosey-nude shade. Its one of my favorite "natural" lip colors. It gives just the right amount of color to my lips with out being over bearing. This color is a beautiful, every day color if you enjoy having color on your lips without being too loud. Its moisturizing, not super opaque in color. Its like a sheer gloss, but still with a tint of color. Its a tad overpriced, but I like it for the quality and the packaging. I would repurchase.

I decided to purchase the Whole Lotta Honey while buying my Anti-Oxidant Rescue because Lord and Taylor's is having a %10 off sale this week. I really like the color and feel of this balm. The color looks a little pinky on my golden tan skin tone - almost a rosy nude. I will definitely buy again, its great for everyday. I am thinking of getting another color too.
UPDATE: Went back and purchased the Richer Rasin. I like this one even more than the Whole Lotta Honey. The color is much more subtle on the lip than it appears in tube. Gives a nice pop of color to my light daytime makeup.

I love the chubby sticks! They are light pigmented, they have absolutely no taste or smell(which is the main reason I purchased),and they leave your lips baby soft.You do need to reappy about every 2 hours for color but the moisture stays for longer.I bought woppin watermelon, which is a nice, light pink shade and I bought chunky cherry, which I haven't tried yet but, looks a little too bright so, I'm probably going to change it for super strawberry, which is less red pigmented.Overall its a great product, but a little pricey for a balm.

I decided to try this when my old Nivea tinted lip balm's heavy scent started to turn my stomach. I knew Clinique products had no scent so i immediately bought this in chunky cherry, the brightest color available.
It gives everything i ask for in a lip balm: Moisturizing, sheer gloss and color. The color is WAY brighter than i imagined; after a while chunky cherry started to look like red lipstick so i bought super strawberry and mega melon and am using these 2 shades everyday. It never upsets my stomach because it has no taste & smell.
Overall, it's a great lip product to use daily! continued >>

I love it! Bought Mega Melon which is a coral color and Super Strawberry which is a more pink color. Going back to the mall to buy the red one. I really like how the colors look, not too harsh. I don't mind the smell, all I care about is that it works like it's supposed to. I usually have dry lips so I put chapstick on before the product so I don't have a problem with drying.

I have this in Mega Melon; it makes my lips soft, doesn't have a strong or gross taste, and the color looks natural-- you can barely tell that I have on lipstick. I plan on getting some for my friends.

I always have something on my lips so this is perfect when I want a natural look or for work. It's really moisturizing, not too shiny, applies evenly and lasts a long time. My lips look super soft and natural. Finally a product that mastered the moisture/color issue! I use this instead of chap stick, it's that moisturizing!

This lipstick does last. The only problem is that it drys my lips a little. The packaging is great.Whenever you need more, just twist the bottom. The color is very rich and it has shine. The price is okay. The color selection is great. It does not have too many but not too little choices. I would buy it again.

This product is like a lip balm with great color pigmentation.
I have this in "chunky cherry" which is the brightest that they have out right now. The product last a really long time on the lips and is very moisturizing:) it was a little expensive for one. I think they are $15 but worth it because they last so long in the package.
Mac has something a little similar but I would rather pay 50 cents more and have great customer service from Clinique !!:)

I bought a pack with four miniatures of the chubby sticks. I was really impressed with this product. The colours are really subtle, but pretty on, and they deliver adequate moisture (I don't have very dry lips). I have noticed they don't last very long, and tend to stick to dry skin (so scrub your lips first!). My favourite thing about them is the scent, I love it so much. I can't describe it, but it's very light and almost vanillary, so delicious. Would definitely repurchase once I've finished these ones, however, they are quite expensive (about $35 AUD).

I have previously used tinted lip balms and I thought, great, a tinted lip balm from Clinique. Purchased two, tried one and returned both the next day. Also, these would require a fat sharpener, which is something I don't carry with me. A lip balm, in my opinion, shouldn't leave traces like lipstick and this one does. I took a sip of water, and my glass was covered with color. Oh well, will stick with Philosophy's Kiss Me in red -- enough color and no transfer.
