Where I got it: I got this at a Clinique counter in Hong Kong a while back, haven’t had the chance to open it or use it. I forgot how much they are, but they are generally cheaper in Hong Kong (about NZD$25 each). You can also get these from Strawberrynet.
What I got: this is the Clinique chubby stick in 02 Whole Lotta Honey (3 grams) with a silver cap and and twist base. This is very much similar to the Revlon Just Bitten Lipbalm stain. Clinique has 16 colors to choose from,
How I find it: since they are 95% the same with Revlon’s just bitten balm stain, I will do a comparison. This color I pretty much my lip color so it is very easy to wear, it is moisturizing as it claims to be, and the color is quite sheer. The Chubby stick is actually just a colored lip balm, but the Revlon is a stain, so it stays on longer (as you can see in the photo below after wiping with a tissue 10 mins after application). The Clinique is just a little shorter and the diameter of the actual product is smaller, but I would say Clinique has got a much better twist base as it runs smoothly.
Overall: I think they are both great products, I love the convenience of these twist up colored lip balms, they are both moisturizing and gives glossy color. I think only difference is Revlon seems to really stain your lips, but Clinique is more of a lip color. The price and color range is also something to consider.
Repurchase? I already have 4 Just Bitten lipstain which are what I prefer (stain), and they are more affordable.
