Clinique Chubby Stick Intense- Roomiset Rose

Chubby Stick Intense in Roomiest Rose

Unless you have been living under a rock, the whole world and his wife is aware of the craze surrounding Clinique’s Chubby Sticks.

I have quite a few of these chunky crayon style bad boys, but the one that I have been reaching for the most is Roomiest Rose. It is the perfect transition colour from winter to spring (if spring ever arrives!).

I can only describe the colour as a deep, dusty pink, with a brown undertone.

It feels light, comfortable and really easy to apply (you could probably apply it with your eyes closed!). My Lips are left immediately moisturised with a glossy finish. The lasting power is amazing. I got a good five hours wear without a single budge.

The Chubby Stick comes in a sheer range and an intense range. I much prefer the Intense.

I got mine from John Lewis for £16.00
 
 
Roomiset Rose £16.00
 
Please excuse my pathetic attempt at trying to take pictures. I am trying to get to grips with my Canon E0S. It just doesnt come naturally to me. I am trying, so bear with me.

In the end I gave up and took the above 'heart' picture with my Samsung mobile phone.

Let me know what you think.

 
 
Hope you are having a great day!

Seche-Vite Fast Top Coat


 
 
 
 
 I buckled. I got sucked in with all the hype surrounding the Seche-Vite Fast Top Coat and purchased it from Sally’s.
The Seche-Vite Fast Top Coat claims to be super-drying and gives your nails a glossy, salon like finish.

I was so excited to use this. Fast drying, glossy nails, what more could you want from a nail polish top coat, right?

This top coat is indeed super drying (within five minutes, wow!). The consistency is great and the brush is easy to work with. The finished result does leave your nails looking very glossy and shiny.

So far so good, BUT if there’s one thing I loathe, its chip nail varnish. It looks horrid. Some people like the chipped look, but I am not a fan. This top coat chips like no other. My nail polish didn’t even last 24 hours. Every time I would look down at my nails, I would find yet another new chip. Eventually, my nail varnish began to peel off in large amounts.
This product is perfect if you are in a rush, bored during your lunch hour or painting your nails just before bed as you won’t awaken to squashed imprinted nails. Also, if you change your nail polish very frequently, this would be good.

There has been an array of mixed reviews surrounding this top coat. I know that everyone’s nails respond differently to different polishes; however this product is a thumbs down for me.

Oh Seche-Vite, I had such high hopes...
 
Chipped nails after A DAY!!!
 

What are your thoughts on the Seche-Vite Fast Top Coat?

Have a great day!
