This is a great option for a more colorful version of a smokey eye for New Year's Eve. I think the gold glitter eyeliner on the bottom eyelid makes it extra special. List of products used below.

Clinique Chubby Sticks Review

Clinique Chubby Sticks are hands down my favorite jumbo lip pencil/balm on the market right now. They provide a sheer dose of color and a whole lot of moisture! 

They surpass Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balms for many reasons. First, I find them to be the most moisturizing of any jumbo pencil I have tried.  They are actually very similar in texture and color pay off to the ever popular Korres Lip Butters, but in a better format for use. Second, they do not leave your lips stained once the color has worn off, which I know for some may be a con. One of the reasons I do not like the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balms is because once the actual balm component fades, I am left with an almost fuchsia stain on my lips, regardless of which color I use. I mean, even the nudest color ("Precious") left a bright pink stain on my lips. And I just don't want fuchsia lips all the time. Does this happen to anyone else?

Well, enough of my rambling. Check out the pictures below and if you haven't tried them, they might be worth a second look. Though, I will say the price tag is a little high (Clinique Chubby Stick - $16 vs. Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm - $8.99), but worth the quality if you can spare it.
